Here's a stunner!
Queen last played Scotland in 1982, and that show was in Edinburgh.
The last Queen concerts in Glasgow were....
December 1, 1979 Queen Apollo Theatre Glasgow UK
( I am not counting October 11, 2008 Queen + Paul Rodgers SECC Glasgow UK - I do not count Q+PR as Queen.)
Excluding the Q+PR show -- they have not played Glasgow for a shocking 35 years!
The last time Queen performed a concert in Scotland -- they played two shows in Edinburgh last in June 1982!!
June 1, 1982 Queen Ingliston Showground Edinburgh UK
June 2, 1982 Queen Ingliston Showground Edinburgh UK

Review: Queen and Adam Lambert, SSE Hydro
Five stars

It's difficult not to love Queen.
From their flamboyant stage shows to their perfectly crafted rock songs, the band, who have sold an estimated 200m albums worldwide, are one of the most influential groups of all time and the proud owners of a back-catalogue that most acts can only dream of.
For many, a Queen show without iconic frontman Freddie Mercury is unthinkable and something that should only be discussed in hushed tones if at all. However, as irreplaceable as Freddie is, Queen's not just one person and, for me, the chance to get to see Roger Taylor, the person who made me want to play drums, and Brian May, whose tutorial dvd taught me my first few chords and riffs on guitar, play live is exciting.
Taking to the Hydro stage, the band do not disappoint, launching into an energetic performance of One Vision, followed by Stone Cold Crazy and Another One Bites the Dust.
At times it's a bit rough around the edges, but Queen still know how to put on a show and Adam Lambert is a revelation, dancing, strutting and grinding his way through a note perfect performance that Freddie would have approved of.
Fat Bottomed Girls, I Want to Break Free, Don't Stop Me Now, Somebody to Love and a medley of Seven Seas of Rhye/Killer Queen get the crowd singing along, while Who Wants to Live Forever shows the band's softer side.
The set is full of nods to Freddie, with acoustic versions of Love of my Life sung by Brian May, with a little help from Mercury, and Roger Taylor's rendition of Those Were the Days of our Lives accompanied by a video of the band proving to be particular highlights. Under Pressure and a drum-off between Taylor and his son Rufus Tiger also go down well.
An upbeat version of I Want It All is quickly followed by Radio Gaga, Crazy Little Thing Called Love and Bohemian Rhapsody with Freddie and Lambert on vocals, before an encore of We Will Rock You, complete with bagpipes, and We Are the Champions brings the show to a close.
I know it's not the same without Freddie but no-one's suggesting it ever would or could be. This is not about replacing the iconic frontman, it's about paying tribute to him and letting fans hear Queen's songs in the environment they were meant to reside in.
As Lambert told tonight's crowd: "I wouldn't have a f***ing clue what I was doing right not if it wasn't for the one and only Freddie Mercury. Tonight's about a celebration and reminding you how he made you feel."
This impressive hit-filled set has definitely accomplished that, Freddie would be proud.

Live Review: Queen and Adam Lambert WOW at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow
If we know anything here at Unreality TV it’s how amazing Adam Lambert is and after months of reporting on his tour, last night we finally got to attend a show ourselves.
Queen are without a shadow of a doubt one of the biggest and most influential bands of all time and Lambert has definitely given the band a new lease of life – but they didn’t forget Freddie!
Freddie Mercury is one of a kind, no one can ever replicate him but Adam comes a close second and that’s not a bad thing. His performing style is certainly not imitation, it’s more of a continuation of the Freddie Mercury legacy.
Adam’s stage presence from beginning to end was something that had to be seen to be believed, from the moment he walked out to thousands of screaming Scottish fans, he owned the stage and everyone in the arena.
Of course, Queen isn’t just about Freddie Mercury – or their new frontman who has definitely earned his place in the band – no no, Brian May and Roger Taylor are also key components.
It was refreshing to see them have their own time during the gig, performing their own sections while the vocal powerhouse took a well deserved break to get his breath back.
Roger Taylor and his son Rufus Tiger had a drum-off that we really didn’t want to end as quickly as it did while Brian May had an acoustic set.
The band certainly didn’t forget the late Freddie Mercury however as made regular appearances on the giant screens during various songs including a duet (‘Love of my Life’) with Brian May that everyone appreciated, it was perfectly timed, and a fitting tribute.
As you would expect, all the major hits were there, ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, ‘Killer Queen’, ‘Radio Gaga’ and of course it only takes a few notes to recognise what’s coming next.
Vocally, Adam was incredible, insane and mind blowing, he’d hit high notes at all the right times and he performed each song with ease.
