I found this article.  It's old, because it only mentions the original 19 concert dates, but it's cool and interesting.  I don't think I've seen it here before so here it is:

Hi guys, this is my first post here!

I'm so excited about this tour. I've been waiting for Queen to return to the U.S. since I saw the Q + PR tour at the DCU Center in Worcester and the Wachovia Spectrum in Philadelphia. What a thrill to be able to see Brian and Roger live again! :D[/QUOTE]

Hi there! Where will you be seeing them? In Philly?



[/QUOTE]

I'm sure this may seem like overkill or overdoing it, but I will be seeing Queen + AL eight times: Philly through Atlantic City. I became a Queen fan at just seven years old in 2005, so I don't really remember the two Q + PR concerts too well. Making up for that this summer. :)

The conference finally ended and I had a bit of time this morning to look at online clips, but all I can say is wow, the Chicago show was fanfuckingtastic!  omg, I could hardly focus on the panels and workshops of the conference after all that.  Getting ready to head for the airport now, but just saw this heads up re the MSG show (NY Times):

[i]Queen and Adam Lambert (July 17, Madison Square Garden): It’s hard to imagine anybody with the lungs, and character, to take the mike of the late Freddie Mercury. Except for Adam Lambert. While Queen offered a dubious tour some years ago with the wonderful, but deeply inappropriate, singer Paul Rodgers in Freddie’s place, this event looks like it will make up for that entirely. Lambert was born for the part.

I figured the Winnipeg show would be the weakest of all, and man oh man, if that was weak, this arena tour is going to end up a huge success from a media standpoint.  Of course it already is from a financial standpoint, but my expectations have gone up for more touring in 2015, and even a QAL album.  I really never thought that would be on the agenda, but I'm pretty convinced of it now.  Adam's not Freddie, but man, he's the closest thing Brian and Roger are ever going to find.  What I find so interesting, is that the original population of Queen fans is probably already cut in half, simply by the average life-span stats.  But now B&R are in the rare position of having a double bell-curve of fans, from two completely different populations and generations - and not even back-to-back generations, but with one or two skipped in-between.  This must really feel surreal to them.  Amazing.

Cute cute cute!  Someone got on Brian's 'How do you like our new boy?  Is he a keeper?' patter from last night already.  (omg, I gotta shut down and go!)

And that clearly goes hand in hand with this:

Currently waiting for the Calgary show to start as we speak. I think Track 13 (aka "the cue") should start playing soon...

Once again, tonight's show was GREAT, only even better!

Compared to Edmonton:
-Brian May was 100% ON consistent form! What worries I had for him in the first half of the Edmonton show were not to be had one bit, this was THE Brian I had come to expect! :) :)
-Brian broke a string on "I Want It All" before the "It ain't much I'm asking..." line, but the band waited while he switched guitars to finish the song. The song intro was also different, incorporating some snatches of the album version intro.
-Brian and Roger donned white cowboy hats in a nod to Calgary's cowboy culture before '39
-Adam gloriously screwed up "Now I'm Here" by starting off with the 2nd verse instead of the first, and still had lyrical issues in "Tie Your Mother Down"
-Adam's banter with the audience after TYMD was FAR more hilarious than Edmonton!!
-"Don't Stop Me Now" was played in full this time
-Brian's improvs at the end of "Fat Bottomed Girls" and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" were really on fire!

Actually I take one bit back partially. Adam only confused the latter half of the 1st verse with the 2nd verse lyrics.

Happy to report the recording also turned out very nicely. I was in the upper level two tier in the back, however I was pretty much in direct vantage view of the PA racks, so it balanced out very nicely!

Good stuff inu....

Good to read that it was good, Inu.

Why do they seat people on the arena ground in a rock concert?
Is this an USA/Canadian thing? In Portugal and i think most of Europe we have standing seats, at least in rock concerts.
