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!!!!! [/QUOTE]

I think Serry is just showing off. He wants to appear an experienced critic who knows a bit about such concerts. Maybe he was standing right under the flag, which was blocking his ears or having an inconvenient seat and couldn`t have a good view, whereas I was able to see the scene perfectly well. I am from the same concert and I assure you that it was great! Brian, I love you!
"He wants to appear an experienced critic who knows a bit about such concerts."
He does. He is.
"Whereas I was able to see the scene perfectly well."
Whereas I was not able to see the scene perfectly well. What's your point?

The point is that you were irritated and distracted by some flags and cameras and couldn`t enjoy the concert to the full. And as you confirm you couldn`t see the stage. That is a pity, cause the concert was great! All these minor details could have prevented you from judging it all fairly. Serry, tell me frankly that the concert was good! It was fantastic! I know it, I was there too!
Sorry, it`s too late now, going to sleep...See you tomorrow!

My recorder fucked up completly because it was very loud even at balcony. Here is introducttion to Love of My love + part of 39, http://www.mediafire.com/?mmouamitdjc ,in this audio is almost all what Bryan said during the show. Very screamy and big distortion even there.
Attendance was 50% in fanzone, 1/10 % dance-parter (at corners of fanzone), balcony was almost full. Before beggining security allowed people from dance-parter to go to fanzone so it became 90% full.
Show began 1 hour later than planned, this time was non-stop AC/DC playlist including Back in Black and You Shook Me All Night Long. Then suddenly all light turned off and in same time big screen activated and looked like night sky. This was amazing, all screens of mobile phones and cameras in fanzone appeared as same stars that was on big screen at the oppening moment.
After intro tape was over, One Vision's synth chords sounded,or better to say thundered. They resonated throu my ribs, arms, all skeleton ! But at other side of this, distortion at balcony was immense and acoustic of stadium was plain terrible. High freqeuncy noises were everywhere even in Love of My Life.
Strongest moment of show for me was binding of "Hammer to Fall" with "I Want it All" and last going to solo. That was sooo moving.
What about absence of Fred's video clip during Bijou, i think it turned for better as '86 footage don't correspond well with '91 period in my mind.
Completly agree with Serry's position about lack of piano. Although a hour of AC/DC didn't give a hope for presence of "Somebody to Love" or any piano drived songs, "Seven Seas of Rhye" or "In The Lap of the Gods" could be great additions.
Lack of 89-95 songs in any form is another dissapointment.
Though "Cosmos Rockin'" was better than any played Paul's stuff, thanks God for only 3 snogs from it.
Concert atmosphere was fantastic, certainly worthy to visit Q+PR one time, while more is doubtful.
Overall raiting 7/10.

"All these minor details could have prevented you from judging it all fairly."
No, they forced me to judge it fairly. My opinion lays not on the 'I love Brian' reasons, I'm sorry for that. And please switch on your irony detector. When I wrote about over 300 people on the stage during '39 I didn't mean it literally, by the way.
"Serry, tell me frankly that the concert was good! It was fantastic! I know it, I was there too!"
Could you please read again what I wrote before? "I wouldn't call it as a bad or great show, just a good one", that's written in the start of my post. If you don't want people to share their own opinions here - which can be different to yours - don't start the topic then.

How was acoustic down there, few distortions ?
I was sitting near the desk - drums were too loud few times, Paul wasn't heard during few lines because of the guitar noise, but I haven't noticed something else too bad in the sound. Tomorrow I'll be on the balcony, so maybe I'll hear the difference.
Oh yes, forgot to write what sound mix was strange. Drums were the loudest, then guitar and only after Paul's voice.

Thanks for this. Bijou sounds great live; Roger's still got it with IILWMC. Any idea what size the crowd was and how is that compared to other major rock acts touring Russia?
