Queen tour after Miracle/Innuendo

As hard as it is, imagine if Queen were still together in the very late 80's, if Freddie didn't have any health issues and The Miracle/Innuendo were released as normal (even more difficult to imagine!). If Queen had decided to tour after The Miracle/Innuendo were released, which songs do you reckon they would have had on their setlist? Which ones would they have dropped? Would they have played stadiums or arenas? I can understand that these questions are very difficult to answer. My curiosity got the better of me- I'm interested to see what everyone thinks!

Cheers

Just thought I'd point out this topic has come up several times.... several more related to hypothetical INNUENDO set lists as well


One guy even had the absurdity to write down song times (minutes and seconds) and NAMES for hypothetical songs done if Freddie hadn't died.

Here s a link to a topic just like this one .....it even directly quotes Another Miracle tour topic

While we're taking a trip down memory lane with older topics, I'll put this one out there.

This is the one where I had remembered mattz joking about Freddie with 50 Cent or Eminem. Microwave has a particularly brilliant post. Speaking of which, does anyone kind of miss that guy? I know I do.

That thread spawned this joke thread:

I just remember these particularly well because they were some of the first threads posted when I started being active here. Fun times.

I don't have anything original to say, however.

I decided that I couldn't just leave you with some links and nothing else, so I'll actually try to write something because I have nothing going on right now. This is assuming that Freddie had no health problems and both albums were released as they are in this reality, which is extremely unlikely at best.

Which songs on the setlist? Party/Khasshioggi's Ship (not even going to try to spell, that, fuckit) would make a cool album over for Miracle shows. Also, probably the four big hits from the album. Meanwhile, Friends Will Be Friends, Tear it Up and Hammer to Fall would be dropped in favor of Somebody to Love (again!) and It's a Hard Life.

For the Innuendo tour, Headlong would be the show opener, and Innuendo and Ride the Wild Wind would be thrown in, with Show Must Go On would be put in as a show closer instead of WWRY and WWAC. Also, another nostalgic medley similar to the one from The Works tour would be thrown in. The Invisible Man and Is this the World We Created would be taken out, possibly a few more to make room for the medley. Perhaps some switches of setlists during the tour to make room for all the stuff they want to do.

After that, they enter a creative slump and have some infighting problems but still travel around regularly, adding in a lot more fan-pleasing 70s tunes to create more of a balance with the hits. In the late 90s/early 2000s, they go back and release another album, with mixed results, and then put everything more that they've got into one more album that turns out surprisingly solid. Then, they disband after three decades working together and John runs into some rabbit hole. Roger and Brian do much the same thing they're doing now, and Freddie's trying a lot of new things which fans tend to give him crap for.

I would say Somebody to love would have been brought back in to the setlists, as would have Killer Queen.

And no i dont think the Show Must Go On would have been the closer NO WAY!, WWRY AND WATC would of remained the closers.

As for the songs which would have been dropped, most of the Magic album songs, but i think AKOM itself would have remained in the setlist, HTF, break free and gaga would have remained, possible drop Under Pressure.

I would say the newer songs added certainly would have been These are the days of our lives, Show must go on, Miracle, breathru, scandal, and possible Slightly mad.

But u gotta remember some of the Miracle/innuendo songs may not have been written if freddie was not sick.

Exactly.

I'd say most.

So this thread, while fun, really is all so silly. Queen's/Freddie's post-1986 output would have been almost completely different had he not fallen ill.

Yes this is all in good fun but as The Real Wizard said Freddie and Queens output would of been much much different during the later part of the 1980s, so who knows what could of been written.

I know; that's why I put that little disclaimer at the beginning of my post. The reason why I wrote that was exactly for that reason: for fun.

Ok on this subject some guy made a fake live concert on youtube about the miracle/innuendo tours have a listen.

It was around the early 90's MTV started having great success with its 'unplugged' concerts. I think Queen would have done one and it would have been great.

Replace the word 'of' with 'have' and you will sound intelligent enough to make people listen to what you have to say. I know I sound like an arsehole but it's basic English. (Amongst the other atrocities)

I used to have a dream about the Miracle tour, where they would perform on a custom made Miracle Express stage. With Party/Khashoggi's Ship to open the show.

the miracle express stage design would be INCREDIBLE!
