Roger confirms tour next year

The image that comes to my mind immediately upon thinking of this setup is Brian playing acoustic guitar and Roger sitting next to him playing tambourine and singing Small.  These kind of low-key, subtle moments (a la IWBTLY in Japan) are what would make this work.

Exactly. The most magical moments during the 2005 and 2008 tours were Brian and Roger playing together and messing around. I haven't seen the enjoyment they seemed to have during the ending of AKOM each night in the last 15 years or so.

In the latest fan club mag issue Roger confirms that he and Brian have discussed "going out on tour together" in 2010...watch this space...nother defined yet but sounds like it will just be the two of them as 'Queen' and then I guess the usual backing guys?

Looking forward to it already!!!!![/QUOTE]
"Confirms tour"???

You fucking idiot - he says he's had a discussion, that doesn't confirm anything.  He's also discussed having more web presence and releasing an anthology, and has previously discussed a VHS of his videos...

Well OK so he can't sell you a ticket yet, but sorry fuckwit he has confirmed they plan to do it.

Jeez, 'discussing going out together next year' what do you want? a letter with dates and ticket availability ready before you understand?

When you add that to the fact his roadie also mentioned a 2010 tour I would say, yes he is confirming it.

In my book this news would seem worth bringing up in the serious discussion section, if it's too vague for you to get your tiny head around sorry.

I am astonished by the setlists people are suggesting - its incredibly 80's/90's-centric - I'd much rather hear them aim high and play some stuff that never gets a chance on a greatest hits tour rather than just play a slightly different selection of hits with Tenement Funster and Long Away thrown in.
TMLWKY is the only Made in Heaven track I can see ever getting an airing anyway, and I'd welcome that, but wouldnt it be great to see some more of the less frequently played 70's stuff revisited as well as some of the hits?

White Queen
March of the Black Queen
Sleeping on the Sidewalk
Death on Two Legs
Doing Allright
Lair
Keep Yourself Alive
Flick of the Wrist

I cant see why a few of these couldnt be thrown in there, as this is surely more of an opportunity to have a crack at something like this than the tours with PR

Those I left above from your list without Freddie? no way; It´s my oppinion; these songs are so "Freddie" I can´t see them without him.

On the other hand, I agree with you some of the older "rare" stuff should be revisited .. as well as some of the later!

I´d really love to see a live rendition of Heaven For Everyone by Bri & Rog (+ Spike, Jamie, Danny...) as well as TMLWKY

I dunno if they're going out next year but to me it's simple :  leave Paul Rodgers at home.  It was a fun experiment but the shelf life was limited.  From what I saw of their last tour he was going by the motions.

I see your point about those....hmm, even to play some instrumental sections of those in a medley would suit me! (in fact, while we're on it, Bring Back That Leroy Brown was always instrumental live anyway, so I'd love that to get a look in!).

Heaven For Everyone could be cool I suppose also.

Totally agree. Another example: A Kind Of Magic, a song that bored me so much when Paul sang it ... but I enjoyed so much when Rog and Bri took it to the B-stage. Pure fun to me. The magic was there again.

It's worth bringing up, but it's not conifrmation.

And yes, confirmation = a list of dates, or at least an official announcement of countries to be covered.

However, since all the teenagers are wetting their pants, I'll leave you to this "serious discussion" you're having on the subject....

With all due respect PG I think you are missing the point here. OK so if you want to split hairs then no he has not said "I confirm the dates for the new tour will be" however, read what he said, they are discussing going out together, probably next year, nothing definate yet but watch this space.

So no, not a full tour sorted and ready to go, but he is confirming that talks are under way and they have even pencilled in a time frame, something that we already knew via his tech.
So what I was saying was Roger has confirmed the rumours about the tour.

Why are you so bent oput of shape about the fact that OK it's not 100 defined yet, the fact is they are still planning it.

I normally have a good level of respect for your posts, however, attacking me because I say 'confirmed tour' instead of confirmed talks seems somewhat pedantic.
