[quote=Anonymous]LOL @ Queen opening for Shaun Cassidy.

Here's some info re their North American tour:

This tour was the first the band performed without an opening act[5] although at some shows on the US leg Cheap Trick served as opening act (namely Portland, Chicago and one of the shows in Los Angeles)

The News of the World Tour is also notable for featuring some of Queen's longest shows, generally lasting two hours per night, in contrast to previous tours, where the shows would last around 1 hour and 40 minutes.[1] The shows in Boston (12 November 1977) and Inglewood (22 December 1977) were particularly lengthy performances, with the concert in Boston clocking in at 2 hours and 25 minutes, and the concert in Inglewood clocking in at 2 hours and 15 minutes, making them the second and third longest shows of Queen's career, respectively.[6]

One of the shows on the North American leg – at The Summit in Houston, Texas – was filmed and is widely available among fans. The Houston concert is considered one of their best bootlegs.[7] Other shows on the tour were filmed by Bob Harris and his crew, those being Atlanta (8 December 1977), Fort Worth (10 December 1977), and Las Vegas (15 December 1977),

Avg Setlist was 30 songs, many examples can be found on Wikipedia, along with a list of shows they played. That's quite a lengthy set for an opening band. No mention of Shaun Cassidy anywhere.

North America Tour lasted from Nov 11- Dec 22, 1977

After a break tour resumed in Europe April 12, 1978

Much more likely as others have mentioned people are remembering Virgin doing a cover of We will Rock You.
