Notable events

In 1981, on October 17 and 18, British rock band Queen played for the Mexican audience. The first of two concerts was the most significant, because people broke a gate of the stadium, and there were many excesses because people had not seen an event like this before. People threw many objects to stage: shoes, batteries, food, etc. And a pantyhose filled with dust was thrown to the guitar player Brian May. At the end, Freddie Mercury said to the Mexican audience: "Thank you for the shoes..."
