Even if it never happened, we can still imagine

You have no idea how much my brain was buzzing when I read this. It is a horrible shame that none of the Miracle and Innuendo songs were never done live (with Freddie anyway) so this is extremely interesting. As for the setlist...

1. One Vision [the 'God works in mysterious ways' tape is the extended album intro on Magic] - 5:14
2. First two lines of It's A Hard Life, with the piano going into the first two verses of Doing All Right - 1:40
3. Play the Game, but with the first 17 seconds of piano from Death on Two Legs to open it - 3:36
4. Princes of the Universe - 3:30
5. Party & Khashoggi's Ship medley [no onstage drum programming for Party] - 5:15
6. Under Pressure, with John doing intro bass for 26 sec. instead of usual 13 sec., before Brian comes in) - 4:13
7. Breakthru - 4:04
8. Killer Queen [extended solo from Brian] - 3:16
9. Keep Yourself Alive - 3:51
10. The Invisible Man - 4:07
11. I Want To Break Free - 4:25
12. Brighton Rock [incoorperating bits of Let Me In (Your Heart Again), SWAFIB and Ogre Battle] - 6:53
13. Friends Will Be Friends - 4:14
14. Now I'm Here & Tie Your Mother Down medley - 6:36
15. Somebody to Love - 5:17
16. Seven Seas of Rhye, but the 'seaside' bit is replaced by the last verse of The Miracle - 2:54
17. Love of My Life - 3:36
18. Bohemian Rhapsody - 5:30
19. Crazy Little Thing Called Love [with Polar Bear guitar intro] - 2:59
20. I Want It All - 4:15
21. A Kind of Magic - 4:35
22. Hammer to Fall - 3:25
23. We Will Rock You - 2:19
24. We Are the Champions - 3:23
25. God Save the Queen [Originial ANATO track on Tape] - 1:20

While the list might seem haphazardous at times, it's a good brainwave, so I hope its appreciated

I noticed you added the lengths of all the songs. Do you have asperger's?

All lame ass jokes aside, it's not the first time people have asked this, but I don't see any sense into letting my mind slip away and imagine a tour that hasn't happened and couldn't have happened, for the simple reason that Freddie would have dropped dead halfway through on the first night. It's just not my thing.

The Miracle Express would be part of the stage construction. Roger would be playing with double bass drums on a rotating platform (as in the IWIA video). John would use his relatively new Giffin bass guitar. No changes in setup for Brian and Freddie.

They would start the show with an edited version of Party (on tape), which would segue into Khashoggi's Ship (which would be played live by the band). I'm not sure about the rest of the setlist yet.
John: "It's the one thing I wish I could do - sing."

That would make it a very short show!  My own mind is buzzing - I kind of agree with YannickJoker, but I also want to work on a setlist haha.  That post will follow!

Of course it just accurred to me that they could actually do a tour for a particular album from the past.    In particular one that did not get a proper tour...things that make you go hmmm.   Thanks for the idea!    It might not be such a bad one!

This is an awesome setlist and I can see you put a lot of thought into it!  You should create this playlist on your Ipod if you haven't already!

Man, imagine a giant steam train erupting from the side of stage for "Breakthru".  That would be so much better than a KISS show.

Hi All

Just for fun (and to avoid a sociology assignment!) I've come up with a Miracle tour setlist of my own. I tried to keep it realistic, but it's a dream setlist so there's a couple of my fantasies in there!

Party (taped intro)
Khashoggi's Ship
Tie Your Mother Down
I Want It All
First half of Liar / Tear It Up / A Kind of Magic Medley
The Miracle
Somebody To Love
It's A Hard Life
Vocal Improv
Under Pressure
The Invisible Man
I Want To Break Free
Now I'm Here
Bass Solo (LOL)
Brighton Rock (full version, with Brian Solo, incorporating bits of Chinese Torture)
Is This The World We Created
Love Of My Life
39
Breakthru (WITH the vocal intro, performed live)
Radio Gaga
Bohemian Rhapsody
Hammer To Fall
Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Encore Break

Who Wants To Live Forever
Another One Bites The Dust
We Will Rock You
We Are The Champions
God Save The Queen

Occasional extra Encore of the Rock N Roll Medley from Hammersmith, or just Jailhouse Rock

And of course, Queen would have had the second guitarist that they were so desperately missing on the Magic Tour!

I'd buy this as a live album!

marcw10 - Very impressive! I see your sense in putting Party on a tape to open the concert - since that and Khashoggi's Ship open The Miracle album it would be ideal. Just an extra thought - since Freddie had done two solo albums by then (and because he seems to have ignored Mr. Bad Guy in 1986, but due to the Magic Tour being Queen's biggest its understandable), how about if he snuck in a few solo number ad-libs into the vocal improv? For example the famous 'dee-do-day-day' bits from Living on My Own, the weird extravaganza in the last 50 seconds of Man Made Paradise, a few lines from Gazelle, the belt-outs from Barcelona and the prolonged notes in How Can I Go On? It would be fun to visualise the crowd trying to match him on the opera bits!

I'm surprised no one put in Was It All Worth It! I think for sure that would be a closing number, either between or after Rock You and Champions.
Any way the wind blows...

"Do you have asperger's?" Hahaha! I seriously laughed for a good thirty seconds straight after reading that. It's always a good idea for me to come to this forum stoned.

I'm not feeling the Kashaoggis Ship intro. One Vision was a great opener, but I doubt they would've opened a '89 tour with it as generally they open with a new song to focus the 'concept' of the performance. I cannot picture a song off The Miracle being a good opener in a stadium - hence I guess the nature of this thread. They opened the '92 tibute with Tie Your Mother Down so I expect it would be that and the nature of the shows would be 'nostalgic' with only a couple of Miracle tracks in there.

2. Khashoggi's Ship
3. Tie Your Mother Down
4. I Want It All
5. Somebody to Love(Works Tour version) / The Miracle (final cutted) /Liar-Tear It Up (Magic Tour version)
6. A Kind Of Magic
7. Under Pressure
8. Vocal Improvisation
9. I Want to break free
10. Impromptu
11. Brighton Rock (with full band + Bri solo)
12. Breakthru
--------------------------------------------------------------
13. Love Of My Life
14. Is This The World We Created?
--------------------------------------------------------------
15. Was It All Worth It
16. Bohemian Rhapsody

--------------------------------------------------------------
19. Another One Bites The Dust
