Freddie caught in full flow Freddie Mercury gives a cheeky grin Drummer Roger Taylor Brian May in full guitar hero posture IT'S rock legends Queen as you've never seen them before - live in action at the fabled Glasgow Apollo. The pictures were taken by a young photography student. As the December 1979 gig unfolded, Martin Lupton snapped these amazing never seen before pictures of the band. One shows the late Freddie Mercury, the band's flamboyant singer, bare-chested but for a red tie, and in tight leather trousers. Another shows him sipping from a plastic cup. Queen were huge at the time, having already released six studio albums, with a live album being released in 1979. Four years earlier, they had topped the charts for nine weeks with Bohemian Rhapsody. The photographs have not been published before. Martin, now 46, sent us the pictures, which were taken just over 29 years ago, after reading our story earlier this week about a rock musical that will tell the Apollo story. He said: "I was 18 and studying photography at Glasgow College of Building and Printing. "I'd seen Queen at the Apollo in 1977 and when they came back for two nights in 1979 I went both times. "I kept to my seat in my stalls but I made the occasional foray to the front to get close-up pictures. "They've lain at home all this time, but I got one of them signed by the band's Brian May and Roger Taylor when they came to the SECC earlier this year." Although Martin is still interested in photography, he has not done any other rock gigs. "That night was very much a one-off for me - though I'm delighted with the way they turned out." Other readers have also contacted the Evening Times to tell us about the best band they saw at the Apollo - or its predecessor, Green's Playhouse. Joe Miller said: "I still have my ticket stubs from all the gigs I went to. The best two for me have to be The Clash and The Skids - two fantastic bands." Gerry Langan, of Skelmorlie, said: "Thin Lizzy, in 1983, with Phil Lynott's mirrored bass shining on the crowd during The Boys Are Back in Town." Alex Carberry, of Erskine said: "Elton John in 1984. As the concert was ending he asked the audience if they fancied coming back in half an hour and doing it again? So we did - but had to walk home because we'd spent our money!" Andy Morrison said: "I remember going to Green's Playhouse in the Sixties. Top of the bill was Jimi Hendrix, with Cream, Pink Floyd and a youngish Amen Corner supporting." � brianmay.com
