Should there be more Freddie in the Q+AL US Shows?

I believe Freddie only made two appearance in the Q+AL European tour during Love Of My Life and Bohemian Rhapsody.

I think Freddie should make at lest an appearance in every song but not to much that he would outshine brian, roger and adam. What do you think?

After that hologram of MJ, singing, dancing and moonwalking at the recent Billboard Music Awards, they could now have Freddie for the whole show instead of Adam!

I don't think Brian and Roger will ever go down that route. To me holograms like the recent MJ one are tacky. The MJ one looked terrible onscreen IMO.

Roger's already downplayed the idea of doing that.

I know roger and brian never wanted a hologram and i sure don't either! I'm just saying having footage of freddie like from wembely or another show

Yeah I think Queen fans would tolerate footage much better than a "hologram." (*Unless you were at the Q+PR show in Vancouver, like me, where the Boh Rhap footage glitched and stuttered horribly bad! XD)

I kinda think there is a bit too much Freddie to be honest, he's dead, we all know that, now move on. I hope they don't do LOML on the U.S tour the Freddie homage is a bit crass Brian sings the song okay but does not do it justice. The song is also a bit of a momentum killer in the set and lord knows the yanks are not really into it.
Arse.

I personally think that they have just about got it right. It's a nice homage to Freddie, but, Live music should really be "Live". A few years back "Elvis's" backing band went out on tour with Elvis on the screen for the complete gigs, but how far should Queen go? Having Freddie do more songs? or even not bother getting a Bass Player, just have john's Backing tracks? & while we're are at it, what's the point of having Brian & Roger playing live? Oh, just put on "Live at Budapest" on the big screen.....

I think Brian & Roger Know the importance of actually playing Live & have got the balance just right in not having too much Freddie. Even Rufus as a second drummer is waaaaaay better than the 2005 Q+PR shows, where they played the Drum machine for "Days Of Our Lives" & the beginning of "Ga Ga"
Joyful the sound

You are spot on about the footage being tolerated better than a hologram. I know even causal rock fans who would rather see video/s.
First I've heard about that happening in Vancouver, I'll have to ask you more about that sometime. Ah, technology.

Well let's just put it this way Icy, with the following analogy: Imagine trying to play a video that was meant to play flawlessly on a Windows XP system, on a Windows 95 PC with a Pentium II processor.
.......YEAH. That's pretty much how bad the video was stuttering. I'm surprised no one caught that on video!

Yes, but they could do a hologram of John Deacon, just to piss him off :-)
