Queen in Hertford, UK on 14.11.1970 (written by Mike Cole)
巧合的是,在大学期间我是社交秘书并且负责预定乐队在11月14号冬季舞会表演。我记得,实际预订的是(通过一家名为伦敦管理)在秋季学期初的某个时候。
可能是在九月下旬吧,Smile有合同,并且帮他们做广告.Smile的海报被张贴了出来,不幸的是这个合约很快就取消了。直到乐队出现,同时我们看到他们的鼓皮上面印着QUEEN的字样,我们就开始询问他们,我们一开始以为他们是替代乐队而不是我们预定的那个。他们告诉我们,他们最近更名为“QUEEN”出现在洞穴俱乐部,他们试着赚多点钱奠定基础,因为他们想比同一时期的披头士更厉害,我认为利物浦的演唱会是在我们学校前两周演出的,所以他们是在利物浦演出改名的,所以我们的判断是
正确的
。
当然,管理公司在9月下旬预订了还叫smile的他们,不可能有人比我更早记录到关于1970年9月12号的舞会协会的会议,我被委托去用200英镑的预算去预定合适的乐队,我记得我好像用50英镑去预定Queen。
随着和公司的合同,他们回来后因为报价的变化,决定预定的结果比1970九月份最后一周慢了。
我记得当时的表演,印象不太深。我还记得他们在第二场的表演,但是我不能几下任何他们表演的细节了。但是我能确定的是,表演还不错,而且礼堂都满了,如果一个乐队没多大观赏价值那么会有一种魔力让每个人都跑去酒吧的~!。我很想说,我看到了一个天才的形成,但不是那天晚上。我觉得他们当时还在学习谋生手段。

By coincidence I was actually the Social Secretary at the College at the time and was personally responsible for booking the bands at that Winter Ball that took place on November 14th. As I recall, the actual bookings of acts were made (through a company called London Management) sometime early in the autumn term. This would most probably have been in late September. The contract was for a band called 'Smile' to be second support on the bill. The posters and other supporting material were printed up as 'Smile' - unfortunately this contract has long since vanished.
It was not until the band turned up and we saw the drum kit with 'Queen' painted on it that we quizzed them - we at first thought that this was a substitute band and not the one we had booked. They informed us that they had recently changed their name to 'Queen' since appearing at the Cavern Club - they then tried to squeeze a bit more money out of us on the basis that they were now more famous having played on the same stage as the Beatles!
The Liverpool gig was I believe a couple of weeks before the gig at our college - so if they did change their name following the Liverpool gig, our assertion is correct. Certainly the management company was still booking them as 'Smile' in late September - it could not have been any earlier than this as I have a note of a Ball committee meeting dated 12th September 1970 in which I was delegated to book suitable bands and given a budget of GBP 200 with which to do it (from memory I think Queen were paid GBP 50). So allowing time for contacting the management company, they coming back with quotes and decisions being made it would have been no sooner than the last week of September 1970 that the booking would have been made.
So what do I remember of the performance, to be brutally honest - it was not particularly memorable - I can recall them playing on our second stage - but I cannot recall any of the items that they played. I am sure that the performance was OK as the hall was full, if the bands were not up to much the halls would empty as if by magic as everyone went to the bar! I would love to be able to say that one could see a genius in the making, but that was not apparent that night. I suspect that they were still learning their trade. If only one knew!!!
