Man, oh man, November 11 is a huge day in Blimp history for legendary names at the Civic Center!

Queen, Jimmy Page and Fleetwood Mac all came to rock Portland's biggest indoor venue on Veteran's Day over the years. We'll celebrate with Mini-Concerts all this week!

We'll start with the first show that happened on the 11th day of the 11th month back in 1977. Queen made their first appearance as the 13th rock show ever at the CCCC. This was just over a week after the release of News of the World and Blimpsters got to hear the brand new songs We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions live. How cool would that have been!?! This Portland date was the first show in North America on the News of the World Tour. It was also the second show on the World Tour which started in London on October 1977 and ended in the UK with a 3 night stand at Wembley in May 1978.

Join us tonight at 6:20 for live Queen on the WBLM Mini-Concert!
