Queen+Paul Rodgers will play in Moscow tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. At last the day has come, and I am going to the concert September 15th. It will take place in Olympisky Stadium, a great arena. I will share my impressions with you, or whoever wants to listen to them. And I would like those who will attend the concert tomorrow to share their impressions too. Hope some of those people do speak English!

Hey boys and girls, enjoy and don't forget to record :-)
How long concert could last ? I have an old mp3 recorder,should be decent quality i hope, before something worthy will appear. I can record only 2 hours 12 mins, don't know if I'll need to cut pause before/between encores or even between tracks.

2h and 12 minutes should be enough but just to be sure a pause between encore would be a good thing to do. =) last concert was about 2h and 26 minutes but i'm quite sure this one is not that long, but what do i know ;)

No, same setlist as in Ukraine.

Expect no changes earlier then the Berlin gig.

Well... The tank of honey will be produced by other fans I guess, so some sh*t into that tank by me now.
I wouldn't call it as a bad or great show, just a good one. An ordinary concert. Too much an ordinary. Maybe that's okay for the start of tour, I don't know. Here we go:
+s:
- screen, very good screen. Nothing to add.
- videos on screen are really great sometimes, very well done: woman's ass, dead rock stars etc. Radio GaGa reminds me at least 4 Kraftwerk's promos.
- wonderful shootings of the band, they could be recorded and released as DVD without any additional re-edit.
- Roger's drumming is still exciting.
- just three songs from TCR - let's face the truth most of the fans haven't already got the album and including other songs from the album will be fine, but later.
-s:
- arsehole with the flag in the audience (part of crowd couldn't see Roger because of that guy who should be raped by damned flagstaff), another arsehole with video camera - whenever Brian or Roger were close to audience, he was filming that obscuring boys from us, security men calmed him down otherwise he'd finish his day in hospital
- where the fuck is Roger? GaGa sung by Paul, Days of Our Lives removed from the set list, SINT shared with Bri and Paul; back vocals mostly done by Jamie, Spike and Danny. The show really misses something and that something is Roger as vocalist.
- Spike looks like a stranger who was staying near keyboards and then suddenly curtain was opened too widely. He could be more closer to the band. And he could play more! Queen show without keyboards? Are we in Truro '70?
- Jamie and Danny as back vocalists. We're not in Montreal '81, we (audience) could sing also, no-one forces them to sing all "we will we will rock you" in WWRY; that makes audience on one step away of the show.
- 389 people on stage during '39. Very funny, very positive, very great, but still too many people for such small stage.
- no any footages of Freddie during Bijou. Maybe something went wrong, I don't know.
Many famous people have attended the show including Chairman of the Management Committee of Gazprom Mr Miller, some pop stars and one former minister who was talking on the phone too much. Those guys were around me, so maybe I've missed some others. Who cares anyway. No any support acts, just more than one hour of taped AC/DC hits and some spacey instrumental guitar tracks. Very poor management from the Russian side (has nothing to do with QPR) - some tickets were invalid (not false, just invalid - that just proves that they should be bought not over 'special' persons...) and I have never ever in my entire life wasn't playing in the game 'Bombay's tube in the morning' while queueing into the VIP loge. By some reasons fanzone and the-VIP-tickets-holders had to go through the same gates and the same time.
Summing what I wrote - seems like it was just rehearsal and we shouldn't criticize first shows too much. Gig could be more humane, they didn't bother themselves by talking with audience (even Brian wasn't that talkative as usually), pauses between songs are almost absent. Part of audience went to shed a tear for Nelson during Paul solo songs, small part left the stadium before encore thinking that it's the end. I think QPR should be stating more and more that they're not Queen.
Jim Beach's shirt is whiter than white. Khalaf was very nice person to talk with before the show. Paul gave more air kisses to the girls than I for the last 5 years.

I am just from the concert. People, to say I like it, is to say nothing. I love it! I am in the 7th heaven of delight!!! The concert was to start at 7 in the evening, it started at 8, but it`s the usual thing. The set list was the one mentioned above. They did sing well, and they did work hard. Roger was great, and Brian was fabulous. Now I just adore Brian! He`s beyond reproach, the best of the best! Young, handsome, slender, energetic, the same Brian as 30 years ago. I couldn`t believe my eyes! The whole stadium cried: Brian, Brian, Brian! And then: Roger, Roger, Roger! Fantastic! I was so excited that I could see my favourite musicians that I nearly went mad or crazy. They should be with us, don`t bury them, they are perfect! I wish John were with them too!
The concert started at 8 and finished at 10.30-40. The audience wouldn`t let them go, they sang the Queen songs together with the guys. I think that Queen was pleasantly surprised that everybody knew the lyrics of all the songs. The audience was enthusiastic and very loving.
Paul Rogers was good, but i still can`t form my attitude to him. He sang very well. He sang Queen`s songs, his songs (not quite understood by the audience, but they were good), and songs from the new album. They fitted quite well, and are up-to-date. C-lebrity is no doubt a hit! I liked the rest as well.
People, I sang with Queen, I sang for myself, I sang for you, I sang for all those who love them and are true Queen fans! Certainly they didn`t forget Freddie Mercury!
I love Freddie, I love Queen, I am happy!!!!!
