New Tour - setlist - expectations/suggestions

I just hope they film the madison square garden show for those of us who couldn't afford almost $600 for a pair of tix :(

I tried through Ticketmaster, for the United Center show in Chicago.

The site stated that the 'VIP Packages' did not go on sale until 10am Central time on Saturday. But I tried anyway when the pre-sale tickets (which WERE there but were for lousy seats) went on sale March 10th, and right at 10am - no VIP tickets listed as available, in any of the packages.

I tried multiple days and at multiple times. At no point did it ever say ANY of the VIP package tickets were ever available. Pre-sale tickets for people that had the ROCKYOU code and those who have access to the Amex pre-sale... THOSE tickets were there, and available at the times the site said they would be. But those tickets were not close, and as I'm thinking this may be the last time this Chicago-based buy might be able to see them, I would have been more than willing to pay their top 'ask' for the 'VIP Experience'.  I definitely tried for all possible VIP packages on March 10th, right when the site opened up - it didn't make any difference.

It blows raw monkey. That said, I'm going anyway...

a few thoughts.........not that I think any of these songs are particularly likely to be played but anyway........

Innuendo would be great to hear......I distinctly remember Brian and/or Roger saying they were looking forward to playing it live with Paul, but that never happened.....

Now i'm Here.........great live song.......hasnt been played since Brian's last tour.....

heck how bout a Live Killers style medley somewhere in the middle....Killer Queen, Bicycle Race etc.....

I definitely want to hear some different songs added to the set list since the last QAL collaboration. I would like Killer Queen and my son thinks they should open with One Vision.

They should open with the Flash Intro and then do a bit of The Hero. After that, SSOR and pretty much the first hour of Kiev would be nice. Add a few surprises here and there... and PLEASE change a couple of songs from show to show! I know this is against Queen's M.O. but I can only hope they vary it a little.

One Vision........now that would be interesting to hear Adam sing......I thought Paul did a decent job of it.........

and I really hope they play '39!!! I really wanted to hear that in 06.....

Did you sign up at the vipnation.com site? Apparently, you have to have an account there in order to purchase VIP packages. I created an account there, then used the links on that site to go to Ticketmaster and buy my VIP ticket.

And I only found out about that because I did Google "research" on how to get VIP tickets before tickets went on sale. None of the Queen forums or Facebook gave out any info on VIP sales. (Sheesh!)

Glad that you were able to get tickets despite it all!

I love One Vision and Killer Queen but I don't want Q+AL to do those because QE has already done those and the less duplication between the set lists, the better.

Hammer To Fall, Princes Of The Universe, and It's Late are songs that I would LOVE to hear live. They may not be super-well known, they're not totally obscure either -- and I think they would go over well with a general classic rock audience even if the audience hasn't heard them before (unlike, e.g. Seaside Rendezvous, which might have a general audience going WTF haha). I'm not sure if I would like AL on those songs since I dislike his voice on heavier rock songs (at least the bits I have heard so far, e.g. the rock part of BoRhap) but I'm willing to have an open mind if Q+AL includes some songs that haven't been done live before (or recently).

Ditto would love to see a 70's medley but it's probably not coming.


Dreamers Ball, let me entertain you, jailhouse rock, sha (probably would be awful with boyish al singing it)

The funny thing is Adam Lambert is the same age now as Queen were just as they were becoming huge. Early thirties is still early thirties whether your looking forward or back.

I changed my approach slightly, considering what they already played on their mini-tour with AL in 2012 and tried to make only very small additions, which even were mostly performed on the Magic and/or Works tours, with only two lousy snippets added, that they didn't perform. I also changed the order as fewly as possible. How about the following, which i think might still be quite realistic?

Flash (tape, as played on the mini-tour)
Tie Your Mother Down (as played on the mini-tour, only changed its position)
Medley:
- Somebody To Love (as played on the mini-tour, only changed its position and segues into the next song)
- Killer Queen (played on the Works tour, segues into the next song)
- Seven Seas Of Rhye (as played on the mini-tour)
- Keep Yourself Alive (as played on the mini-tour)
- We Will Rock You {fast} (as played on the mini-tour)
Fat-Bottomed Girls (as played on the mini-tour)
Don't Stop May Now (as played on the mini-tour)
Under Pressure (as played on the mini-tour)
I Want It All (as played on the mini-tour)
Who Wants To Live Forever? (as played on the mini-tour)
Body Language (additionally, only an excerpt though, segues into the next song)
Another One Bites The Dust (as played on the mini-tour, only changed its position)
Dragon Attack (as played on the mini-tour, only changed its position)
Now I'm Here (played both on the Works and the Magic tour)
Roger's Medley:
- Radio Ga Ga (as played on the mini-tour, only changed its position and segues into the next song)
- A Kind Of Magic (as played on the mini-tour, segues into the next song)
- These Are The Days Of Our Lives (as played on the mini-tour, segues into the next song)
- Heaven For Everyone (additionally, only an excerpt though)
You're My Best Friend {acoustic} (as played on the mini-tour)
Love Of My Life {acoustic} (as played on the mini-tour)
'39 {acoustic} (as played on the mini-tour)
Guitar Solo (as played on the mini-tour)
Drum Solo (as played on the mini-tour)
Crazy Little Thing Called Love (as played on the mini-tour)
The Show Must Go On (as played on the mini-tour)
Bohemian Rhapsody (as played on the mini-tour)

Encore

Sheer Heart Attack (occasionally played on the Works tour, a bit risky though)
We Will Rock You (as played on the mini-tour)
We Are The Champions (as played on the mini-tour)
God Save The Queen (tape, as played on the mini-tour)

People might hate me for this one:

Headlong
We Will Rock You (Fast)
Action This Day (Roger/Adam)
I Want It All
Don't Stop Me Now
Medley: Seven Seas of Rhye/Keep Yourself Alive/Liar
Stone Cold Crazy
Medley: Killer Queen/March of the Black Queen/I'm in Love with My Car (Roger on last song)
These are the Days of Our Lives (Roger)
Radio Gaga (Roger)
Under Pressure (Adam/Roger)
Another One Bites the Dust
Who Wants to Live Forever
Love of My Life (Brian)
Too Much Love Will Kill You (Brian)
Medley: Now I'm Here/Dragon Attack
Drum Solo (Roger)
Guitar Solo (Brian)
Fat Bottomed Girls
Crazy Little Thing Called Love
Bohemian Rhapsody

Encore:
Hammer to Fall
The Show Must Go On
We Will Rock You
We Are the Champions

like it but it would probably kill Roger
