New Tour - setlist - expectations/suggestions

I don't give a fig. this whole collaboration is embarrassing. A bit like the 5ive thing.

I liked the set last time. Dump Dragon Attack (too long) and TYMD (that was a car crash at Hammersmith), and dig a bit deeper for the rotating acoustic songs. That said, YMBF at Hammersmith was lovely.

And that Russian lady singing Life Is Real was wonderful, a shame that wasn't done when I saw them.

As it's in the USA, I'd like to think they would do a NOTW heavy set. It's Late? Definitely more from The Game. But not Dragon Attack!

No they won't. They've toured with him already in Europe and played a Queen set. That's what will happen again.

They played a lot of Free and Bad Co with Paul Rodgers because he wouldn't have done it otherwise. Even when they toured the Cosmos album they still played PR songs. Another reason why as a front man for Queen Lambert is a better choice.[/QUOTE]

Realistically speaking, AL wasn't it a position to influence the setlist in Europe. in the Northern America he's at least an equal draw, and it would be stupid of him not to demand his songs to be included.

Prepare to be disappointed.

I would relutantly say they may play one or 2 AL songs, most unfortunately.

Russian Headlong, as for the 5ive collaboration, I quite like the single version, the one in which Roger also played. It stands proudly in my collection. I try to forget they were a boy band. It sounds good and is very well produced. I should add that I also like pop besides rock.

Cheers,

They will for sure include WWTLF since that is the most well-received Queen song AL has done.

They won't do any AL songs on the tour. AL only has one song that was a modest commercial hit. If they're not going to play many obscure Queen songs, I can't see them playing obscure AL songs.[/QUOTE]

I agree that WWTLF would or should be a sure thing on that set list. I am not expecting any of Adam's songs to be included but if they are, "Whataya Want From Me" is my least favorite. "Runnin'" is the song that should have been a single and would be amazing as well as "Soaked." I would love to hear some different songs from the Queen catalogue.

I just remembered what Brian said when he first heard Adam singing "Time For Miracles" -- it would be amazing for Adam to sing that song backed up by the Queen band:

I agree on Who Wants To Live Forever, but they didn't do any A Kind of Magic Songs with Paul Rogers in the States and I don't expect any with Lambert either, unfortunately.

It would be interesting to focus the set list in albuns that was hit in America, and for 1982 for now, maybe one HS song, two TW tracks, two AKOM tracks, one TM track, and two innuendo tracks, i think that the 2012 set list, 95% of this set will be continue

It will be greatest hits all over again. I heard Brian wants to play WWRY at least 5 times. ;-)

They did Who Wants To Live Forever at iheart in North America. I think they will do it this tour as well. Lambert likes the song so they'll play it.

Just bought my tickets today. Tried for the 'Ultimate VIP Package' the SECOND they officially went on sale, this past Saturday at 10am Central. There was NOTHING available.

Nothing in Ultimate VIP Package, Diamond VIP Package, VIP Tour Package or VIP Fan Package. And I was there the SECOND they went on sale.

Which... you know... is TOTAL FUCKING BULLSHIT.

But anyway, done being pissed, and I paid through the nose from a scalper. Have 5th row - FLOOR 3 section, right on top of the stage.

Brian & Roger: see you in 3 months...

Adam seems to have improved a lot up to the iHeart performance, he sounded quite solid there. Maybe the tour will not be as bad as some do fear.

1. Tie Your Brother Down
2. Fat Bottomed Boys
3. Spread Your Legs
4. I Want It All
5. Breakthru
6. I Was Born To Love You
7. Save Me
8. My Love Is Dangerous
9. Who Wants To live Forever
10. Death On two legs
11. Too Much Love Will Kill You







Just kidding. .. I was joking.


But! Of the above I wouldn't doubt that they'll play most of them in an effort to realize the potential of songs they never got to perform live

(*but they wouldn't have new gaily modified titles to appease the Lamberts)

I'd think they might play all of the above at some point in the Tour EXCEPT DOTL, and MLID


You'll probably see Freddie on video for Love of my Life and Bijou. May see a FREDDIE heavy set this time. Don't stop me now as well. As QP+R their strength was a rock angle, this tour can't be shy of the high vocal range Adam has. I think there will be plenty surprises. But mostly for places like Chicago and New York


Hopefully we don't get a gh set in Inglewood

Maybe a 70's nostalgia will get them to play some VERY early stuff like WHITE QUEEN.


I think it will actually be a great set list. You just know there'sbeenmuch more preparation for this than they've been letting on

Just revisited their Kiev show last night and I think that the first 30-45 minutes have a great selection of both greatest hits and songs they hadn't performed in a very long while (WWRY fast, SSOR, Dont' Stop me Now, etc.) If they expand this to include extra 70's songs from the period of time in which Queen was big in America (1977-1980) I would be happy.

By the way, I loved how Brian went from playing solos and 'licks' supported by Jamie Moses in 2005 to playing all guitars AND SINGING "Tie Your Mother Down" in an encore in 2012.
Love or hate Adam Lambert but he seems to be getting the best out of Brian live.

We all know it, right? Brian is so eager to "win back" America that he's going to give it all in these shows... specially Madison Square Garden, I believe. And I'll be there to see him! :)

Were there any regular tickets available, or were they all VIP tickets..?

Which location/venue were you trying for?

VIP tickets went on sale Monday, March 10. And there were a bunch of other pre-sales (Queen Fan Club, AMEX, Queen Facebook, Live Nation) during the week of March 10-13. That's probably why so much was sold out by the time Saturday rolled around.
