Went to the concert in Calgary tonight. The background music playing in the theater before the concert started was the hidden track from the Made In Heaven album! Does anyone remember that from other venues on the tour?[/QUOTE]
Hey Adam - I was there too! Your videos are great - where were you sitting? Looks like you were close to where I was (11th row) - my videos came out great sound-wise but I couldn't quite figure out how to zoom properly with my phone to get closer video. I actually found the sound in the theatre a little strange - everyone except Jeff sounded a little 'nasal' to me - but it sure didn't come across that way on the videos so it must just have been the acoustics in the theatre. Anyway - great show, and thanks for putting your videos on YouTube - you got some I didn't. I was too busy singing along and rocking out :)
I was in the 15th row. I shot video with my phone and a small video camera. With the phone, no zoom, but good sound pickup (strangely enough). With the video camera, nice zoom but bad sound pickup (sigh).
Yeah, I thought the voices sounded a bit high-pitched but it didn't come out that way on the recordings. Strange. Which songs did you record?
Here a pic of the autographs I got. :D

Nice pic :)- I got one of those bags autographed. I got several photos of the concert, most turned out pretty good - and some of the band in the meet 'n greet too. Videos - I've got Killer Queen, I'm In Love With My Car, You Take My Breath Away and The Show Must Go On in full. Partials of BH, STL, Crazy Little Thing and Lazing On a Sunday Afternoon. Actually now that I've uploaded to my computer the videos look a bit closer.
I hope Roger Taylor and Brian May don't kill QE, I saw that russian interview and they hinted on how much money it costed. The press is raving about how great Q+AL are, so maybe this project's days are numbered.
I saw that too, Roger saying that he hasn't seen any $$$ from QE yet. The tour was still on during the interview, so hopefully the financials will work out in the end. They had a fair amount of sell out shows and most of the non-sell out shows looked well attended. So I don't see how the tour could be underperforming unless they were expecting it to sell out almost everywhere or unless a lot of unbudgeted expenses came up once the show hit the road...
The backstage crew surprises the band onstage during FBG in Edmonton. Looks like they're having more fun than in Moscow (the band anyway, not the audience -- sheesh, Canadian audiences!). ;-)

Yeah, oddly enough I think the Edmontonians audience was actually MUCH quieter at this show as opposed to when I saw 'Queen - It's A Kinda Magic' at the same venue 3 years ago! I was kinda wtf'ing at that o.O
Maybe trim down the proformers and let Marc carry more of the show. But my gut tell me this may have been an experiment by Roger Taylor, Brian May is most likely looking an the bottom line costs. It would be sad to see it end. Saw QE in Vancouver BC and they were polished, tight and fun. Oh well it's their money. I also feel there would be a strange dynamic between Queen + AL and QE. There is no replacement for youth and vigor in the whole band, Marc's voice only got better and better from start to finish. Adam Lambert would feel threatened an insecure.
I cant help but believe that Marc must be missing QE backing. Not dissing his band at all, but they aren't what the others were.
Here's a YT of him July 7th doing STL with his band.

Cool seeing Marc play the guitar solo! But yeah, seems to be a lack of energy in that performance compared to QE and also (strangely) compared to previous performances of STL with his band before the QE tour. Still coming down off the high maybe?
I'd say the QE shows have done him a world of good. He's really sounding onto it. The band, not so much.

Thats what I thought, I think Marcs energy is really good and he has grown a lot. The band is dragging him down and to Adams comment, I bet he really misses QE musicians.
For the hundreth time, why o why cant Brian and Roger take this guy on for a while? He clearly has heart for the music.
Hey can anyone post that youtube video of Marc Martel in ahotel room with his friends and he has a Freddie tash and is laughing and making jokes about it?
I know it was on this thread I just cant find it.
