Roger Taylor and John Deacon played under the Queen banner in 1993, at Cowdray park. They performed "Kind of Magic", "I Want to Break Free", "Radio Ga Ga", "We Will Rock You" and "These Are the Days of Our Lives". I would guess that at least two of the original members would appear, for putting it under the Queen banner. If Brian or Roger by chance had got ill before a tour, they would have postponed the gigs.
I also got goosebumps when they performed with Lambert.

Sheer Brass Neck
I'm not here to theorize on the viability of every possible equation of the essence of Queen. I'm here to say that Adam has the charisma and the talent to bring something to the table that has been lacking since Freddie's unfortunate loss. To say that Adam could replace Freddie would be ridiculous, but does he have the right sort of chemistry with them to make something sort of magical happen again - to perhaps make Queen back into a unit instead of something like the headless horseman or a puzzle with a big piece missing? What sort of song-writing ability might he have? The only performance that I know of that is out there on You Tube that I have been told is his song is "Crawl Through Fire". The best word I can think of for that performance is hedonistic. But I have seen Adam turn something around and do it an entirely different way from what you'd expect to fit in a different situation. He seems to be able to think creatively outside the box.
I did happen to think it was a sort of magical meeting when Adam performed, however briefly with Queen on Idol. It was totally unexpected, and yes, Thomas the hair did come up on the back of my neck - I'm so glad that you had that experience too. In fact it still gets me going when I go replay the video online. But it is just a tease. Well, we don't always get what we want, but I do hope that Queen and Adam explore the possibility at some point. I thought that I saw something in the way that Adam was interacting with Brian and the expression on Roger's face at one point, but maybe I was just seeing what I wanted to see.

I just wanted to add that I have a great deal of empathy for Brian, Roger and John. I've lost people who were close, and it is very difficult to find a way to pick up and go on. With a group like that it must be like having a limb amputated. I have to give Brian and Roger credit for trying to find a way, and wonder if there are any circumstances under which John would come back out and play.

Is something happening here??
This is mentioned on Queenonline.com:
[b]Lambert Talks More Queen 07/08/09[/b]
Adam Lambert has said that performing with the remaining members of Queen again would be an honour.
“Queen is one of my all-time favourite bands,” he told the Baltimore Sun.
“Freddie Mercury was a huge influence on me musically.”
"2009 is going to keep up its’ hectic pace for Queen with a number of releases, [b]alliances[/b] and re-issues. Make
sure to check back regularly for updates because there’s going to be new stuff nearly every week –"
What is meant by alliances? And why does Queenonline mention the article about Lambert? This is just pure speculation but you never now...
