Queen Extravaganza 2013

Awesome vids AM! I was re-watching IWTBF and One Vision you placed on Youtube. Still freaks me out at how much MM sounds like Freddie. I also love the way QE has grown into dem shoes...they really are fantastic

What are the setlists typically like now?

Let's see if this will work from my phone... Here's the current set list:

My vids from the Sept 1 show in Quebec:

Stone Cold Crazy (my camera went crazy out of focus in the middle section because of the strobing!)

Another One Bites The Dust (improv and last verse)

This was the most lively QE concert I've been to, at least it was down in the front. At the Toronto show, most of the audience at the front were older Queen fans. At this show, for some reason, the first two rows were almost entirely made up of pretty young women, and a few of them looked thisclose to rushing Marc on the stage. Haha. The front rows were right at the stage too. No gaps, and no security. (Since it's a dinner theater, the only staff in the theater were waiters taking drink orders.) So basically, a great venue and the audience was almost as entertaining as the band. :-D

Amazing videos, thank you Adam!

I hope someday Queen Extravaganza come to Brazil. Really.

Thanks Adam. That's a shame that they really didn't shake up the setlist much, other than adding in IWIA which is a great choice in itself. Would have been nice to see them experimenting with other songs in a rotating manner.

New QE bootleg recording, as always provided by the ever reliable tsskiller. This is probably his best sounding boot to date of all the QE gigs, and he will be at the gig this Saturday (his FIFTH QE show by then!!!) so let's hope that one will go equally as successfully :-) http://www.queenzone.com/forums/1357928/-covers-announce-queen-extravaganza-morristown-nj-usa-2013-09-11.aspx Enjoy folks!

I'm catching them tomorrow night. Looking forward to it!

Blerh.

tsskiller will tie me -- I have also been to five. :-) Some band members have posted about this being the one of the best shows and best audiences on the tour, so tsskiller really lucked out!

Great recording. The only blemish I noticed is the doofus coughing during LOML, but not much you can do about that.

Marc seems a bit iffy on TSMGO. He was fine at the concerts I went to although he tweeted about having a sore throat the day after. Maybe the touring schedule is starting to take a toll?

Here's a new interview with Marc:

Nice article. LOL at being "paraded around the world" I'm happy for them and the success! I noticed that some of the UK venues are already sold out. I hope they are all as thrilled as the audiences here have been. I'm so MAD that southern USA is so ignorant and did not attend like the Canadians and the North did!! I want to see them again and again...

I don't buy the hyperbole that he's spooky or identical to Freddie or all of that cockwallop, but he's the only feller with the vocal chops within the organisation.[/QUOTE] Well, Roger has performed Under Pressure with Marc on stage... Cannings May 25. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_bmysAMQs8

A great show indeed. They were absolutely fantastic last night in Bethlehem. Will gladly see them again.

Earlier today, the tour manager sent this tweet with the attached photo:

Paul Bond @Paulcbond
Extra special show at The Westbury Theatre @theatrewestbury tonight! You will see why later..

The photo shows a totally different stage setup than what they normally use, kind of like an "unplugged" setup. I wonder if they're trying out something to use in the U.K. shows?

Anyway, tsskiller totally lucked out in the concerts he picked to go to! Crossing fingers that he gets a good recording!
