Tonight’s mystery artists by 1975 had 4 hit albums and successful tours on both sides of the Atlantic yet instead of cashing in when they released their next album it was kicked off with a free concert for about 200,000 fans. Who do you suppose was so nice to their fans??

According to their fan site, in 1976 they toured the US and Japan and by spring all four albums resided in the UK Top Twenty. Later that year when Queen released ‘A Day At The Races’ they gave a free concert in Hyde Park to an estimated crowd of 200,000 fans and it didn’t hurt their bottom line at all. The album was a huge success, advance orders alone amounting to over 500,000. The following year saw two major US tours, the band’s sixth album, ‘News Of The World’ and the legendary double A side single, ‘We Will Rock You’ and ‘We Are The Champions’.
