@phoneboy Quite possibly not. They weren't a massive band even in the UK before that. Mind you, I don't think they've ever been a really mainstream band in the way that Queen were.
I remember inadvertently seeing a bit of one of their concerts in a small sesaside town called Bridlington back in 1983. We went on a school trip to see "Machbeth" as we were studying it for English literature. It was an appalling production so a few of us snuck out to see what else was going on. The music from the main theatre drew us in. Although we didn't get in, we could hear them well enough. The closet I ever got to a live gig of theirs!
