In fine condition, with light handling wear. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and by a letter of provenance from the original recipient: “Back In 1982 I was fortunate enough to go to Elland Road football ground in Leeds to see Queen live. My fiance at the time was the granddaughter of a chap called Sam Bolton who used to be chairman of Leeds United and later chairman of the F.A. When he passed her grandmother and mother became shareholders in LUFC. Consequently, they were given tickets for the gig which were in the directors’ box!! We were all given a programme which I didn't realise until I got home were signed!”
Queen’s UK leg of their 1982 ‘Hot Space Tour’ consisted of two massive outdoor shows at Milton Keynes Bowl and Leeds Elland Road football stadium.
