At first: Get well soon, Yara! At least ou have internet access in hospital.
My thoughts about the concert: The sound is fantastic, no doubt. It really sounds like a radio broadcast, well-mixed, but somehow smooth/flat (don't know how to explain, not quite as exciting as a perfect audience recording and not as dry as a soundboard). No criticism intended, just tried to describe it.
Freddie's voice is ... please don't hit me ... okay. He has problems with the higher notes, he forces his voice to reach them and sometimes they are not very clear and exact. Sure there were worse nights. But in 1982 he mostly sung more effortless. But anyway, it's fantastic how he still creates such dramatic, powerful music even with his "1986 voice"!
And yes, the band plays very well, and the audience is great. Everything you need for a fantastic show is there.
But: What I really dislike is the track order. The song choice is okay, that of course depends on personal taste, but they fail to create a dramatic line with their song order. They give it away with playing "ITLOTG" that early and generally the "vintage medley" comes much too early in the setlist. And why in hell they didn't play CLTCL after the R'n'R covers? And why for gods sake did they tear apart the unsurpassed WWRY+WATC pair?
I'm sure I would appreciate the Magic tour shows much more if the song order was different.

Routine procedure. They open my head once in a while to control a kind of degenerative illness and then they close it again, it's cool. Really, I'm serious. It's exciting. This time, they didn't find out anything special, contrary to what the exams suggested, and then the surgery ended earlier than expected. The bad part is being in the hospital doing nothing. They opened up my head, did the thing, I'm all fixed, but I have to stay here. My hair is a mess and I want to buy a beautiful velvet sport cap, I don't know.

Uh, it sounds a bit weird!
May you be full-healty quickly ;-)
At least you can surf in the internet at the hospital, when I went there I couldn't use a PC!
I want to get out of this hospital. The thing about hospitals is that it's boring. Before the surgery there's all that tension and stuff, but afterwards...man, what a bore.

Best regards,

But I'm glad to know that you like that concert too. I pine for listening to it again. Pine? Don't know what it came from but seemed familiar, I don't know, I'm a mess.
And off-topic.
THANK YOU, AGAIN, FOR MAKING THE VIENNA CONCERT AVAIABLE IN ITS BEST VERSION AND ALSO FOR MAKING AVAIABLE THE SECOND NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you all, really!
Sir GH, Ginger01, Olivier, Smithmuther (that name is complicated), YourValentine, Cygnus-X, Roger Taylor, Bobby_Brown, Saltnvinegar, everybody.
And now, of course, thanks RICCARDO for asking about my health and giving me some space to write more and avoid the bore. lol
This website is really great, congratulations for the wonderful work, you all. [/QUOTE]
Yara, sorry to hear about your illness and hope for a speedy recovery. BTW, if you were referring to me (see above Smithmuther)it's Sithmarauder = ). I got the name from a Star Wars game "Knights of The Old Republic".
Bob, Thanks for sharing this show! Looking forward to hearing this!

Thank you all again. I'll stop it here because I don't want the whole thread to go off-topic, but many, many thanks for the kind words of support. You're all lovely, and thanks for sharing this great music. From now on, "hospital trivia and fun stuff" I'll post in the "Personal" category and the comments (they're too lame to be called reviews) on the first category, Quenn fun stuff, all.
THe most important, however, is: thanks, thanks and thanks. And sorry for fumbling (!?) your nickname, Sithmarauder. Now I guess I got it right. lol. But it's still hard. lol

Thanks for the answer.
The sound of the first night is simply excellent. It got me confused, because the sound is so balanced. Great stuff!
Take care
