"Queen I" turnĂ© / "Queen Iâ tour đ€
1973. szeptember 13-ĂĄn elkezdĆdött a âQueen Iâ turnĂ©, amikor a BBC Radio 1 kĂ©szĂtett a srĂĄcokkal egy Ă©lĆ koncertfelvĂ©telt az âIn Concertâ cĂmƱ sorozatuk szĂĄmĂĄra, a Golders Green Hippodromeban. SikerĂŒlt eljutniuk NĂ©metorszĂĄgba Ă©s Luxembourgba is, ezek voltak a Queen elsĆ kĂŒlföldi szereplĂ©sei. EzutĂĄn visszatĂ©rtek Londonba, ahol hatalmas sikert arattak a Paris Theatreben, majd kĂ©t koncertet adtak az Imperial Collegeban is, ahol november 2-ĂĄn lezajlott az elsĆ telthĂĄzas koncertjĂŒk. Rosemary Horide az alĂĄbbi kritikĂĄt Ărta meg a koncert utĂĄn: âA frontember, Freddie Mercury fel-alĂĄ jĂĄrkĂĄlt a kis szĂnpadon, egyszerre volt heves Ă©s Ă©rzĂ©ki, ahogyan a mikrofont lengette, miközben elsĆ albumuk dalai szĂłltak. Ha a Queen ilyen jĂł formĂĄban lesz a Mott The Hoople-turnĂ©n is, akkor jobb, ha a Mott rĂ©sen lesz. Lehet, hogy a Queen több lesz ott, mint egyszerƱ elĆ zenekar.â
A Mott The Hoople egyĂŒttes elĆ zenekarakĂ©nt 1973. november 12-Ă©n indultak Ăștnak. A 24 ĂĄllomĂĄsos turnĂ©t Leedsben, a Town Hallban kezdtĂ©k el, ahol elĆadtak pĂĄr dalt az elsĆ albumrĂłl, kiprĂłbĂĄltĂĄk, hogy hogyan reagĂĄl a közönsĂ©g a mĂĄsodik lemez egyes szĂĄmaira, majd bedobtak nĂ©hĂĄny biztos sikert is, mint pĂ©ldĂĄul a âBig Spenderâ-t. Freddie eközben a legbotrĂĄnyosabb formĂĄjĂĄt hozta. A zenei sajtĂłban szĂĄmos negatĂv kritika jelent meg errĆl a koncertrĆl, azonban ezek a kritikĂĄk a zenĂ©vel nem törĆdtek, csak azzal, hogy sĂ©rtĆ, szemĂ©lyeskedĆ megjegyzĂ©seket tegyenek az elĆadĂłkra. Az egyĂŒttes tagjai azonban Ășgy voltak vele, hogy âjobb, ha lenĂ©znek, mintha ĂĄtnĂ©znek rajtunkâ.
1973. december 3-ĂĄn a Queen tagjai rĂ©szt vettek mĂĄsodik rĂĄdiĂłfelvĂ©telĂŒkön a BBC âSound of the Seventiesâ mƱsorĂĄban, ahol a âGreat King Ratâ, a âSon and Daughterâ, a âModern Times Rock âNâ Rollâ Ă©s az âOgre Battleâ cĂmƱ szerzemĂ©nyeiket vettĂ©k fel. Decemberben a Queen kĂ©t tovĂĄbbi koncertet adott a hĂres londoni Hammersmith Odeonban.

On September 13, 1973, the "Queen I" tour began when BBC Radio 1 produced a live concert with the guys for their "In Concert" series at the Golders Green Hippodrome. They managed to get to Germany and Luxembourg, both of which were Queen's first foreign appearances. Then they returned to London, where they had huge success at the Paris Theatre, and then gave two concerts at Imperial College, where their first full house concert took place on November 2. Rosemary Horide wrote the following criticism after the concert: âFrontman Freddie Mercury was walking up and down on the small stage, at the same time intense and sensual as he swayed the microphone while singing songs from their first album. If the Queen is in such good shape on the Mott The Hoople tour, then it is better to be on the Mott slot. Maybe the Queen will be there more than just an pre-band.â
The band premiered on November 12, 1973 as a pre-band for Mott The Hoople. The 24-stop tour began at Town Hall in Leeds, where they performed a few songs from the first album, tested how the audience reacted to the tracks on the second album, and then tossed in some winning hits like "Big Spender." Freddie was in the most scandalous form on this concert. There were many negative criticisms of this concert in the music press, but these criticisms were not about music, only about making offensive, personal comments on the performers. However, the band members said that "it is better to look down than doesnât take into account".
On December 3, 1973, members of the Queen attended their second radio show on the BBC's "Sound of the Seventies," featuring "Great King Rat," "Son and Daughter," "Modern Times Rock 'N' Roll" and they recorded "Ogre Battle". In December, the Queen gave two more concerts at the famous Hammersmith Odeon in London.
