NFT: Saw Queen last night

Boys Are Back in Town

I think Brian May is one of the greatest guitar players ever, and had such a unique sound that really melded well with FM's obviously amazing voice.

I thought the Paul Rodgers tour was pretty good, but some of those high notes... ehh...

They should do the Journey thing and find some random dude with an amazing voice that sounds just like Freddie. There has to be a few floating around?

I was really pleasantly surprised how good Lambert was. He's got a very confident stage persona as well.
As an aside tho, what is it with 20 somethings having to record every friggin minute of the entire night with their phones? God forbid you just kick back and dig the music.

the list of songs they played, if you would be so kind?

Now I'm Here
Stone Cold Crazy
Another One Bites the Dust
Fat Bottomed Girls
In the Lap of the Gods ... Revisited
Seven Seas of Rhye
Killer Queen (lying on the couch)
Somebody to Love
I Want It All
Love of My Life
'39
These Are the Days of Our Lives
Under Pressure
Love Kills
Who Wants to Live Forever
Last Horizon /Brighton Rock/Bijou (Brian May's guitar solo)
Tie Your Mother Down
Radio Ga Ga
Crazy Little Thing Called Love
The Show Must Go On
Bohemian Rhapsody
Encore:
We Will Rock You
We Are the Champions

pretty much hits all the hits!

Agree it was a great show and Brian (67) and Roger (66) are still amazing! Their energy and passion puts many younger acts to shame. Great show!

There are a number of web-sites like www.adamlambertlive.org that are doing live streaming of the shows and then posting the video links. They also do a cool separate concert poster for each show. Check out the site!

I saw them at the Garden back in '78. Incredible show. Around the same time I saw Thin Lizzy with Rush and Graham Parker and the Rumor. Those were the days.

That is a great set-list.

I was never much of a Freddie Mercury fan. But Brian May's guitar work was always excellent.....he is so much better live than what gets captured in Studio.

Not sure if anyone has seen Queen Extravaganza, but listen to Marc Martel...about as close to Freddie as I've ever heard.
Marc Martel - Somebody to Love audition - ( New Window )

last week and it was really good. As a kid of the 90's, my Queen knowledge wasn't on par with the 40/50/60 year olds at the garden, however, the May set was awesome.

Thank You!

Nice set --

Brighton Rock....wow...I would have went nuts

Tie Your Mother Down - again...nuts

39...more subdued, but a great great song

starting it off with Now I'm here is awesome -

I would have went to the bathroom during this -

These Are the Days of Our Lives
Under Pressure
Love Kills
Who Wants to Live Forever

and substituted -

Sheer Heart Attack
I'm in Love with my Car
Spread Your Wings
and the creme de la creme - Need Your Loving Tonight

but Brian May is an interesting guy. Went back to school and got a Phd in Astronomy. I thought he was working as an astronomer but I guess he's playing music or maybe doing both.

is already up on YT videoed professionally.
