The first US tour

A first visit to a new touring territory changes the geographical frame of the story. The official history places the first US tour in the same year as Queen II and Sheer Heart Attack. Reading those records alongside this event connects the stage and studio without turning a broad biographical statement into an invented concert archive.

This event is part of the essential chronology, not an exhaustive concert or tour archive. The date retains the precision established by its source. Follow the neighbouring studio albums to place it in the recording history, and consult the official account below for its wider setting.
