Finally had a moment to watch the whole show in sequence.
Still happy to see Love Kills. Am I in a minority for liking that song in the first place? I only ever heard people give it shit to begin with. *shrug* It's by no means the pleasant surprise that Bijou was in 2008, but I like it.
The tempo on Another One Bites the Dust was like something Schumacher saw during his six-month nap, though. Just sometimes, I think the songs would find a groove if they'd speed up a tiny bit. Not much; I prefer a steady band to done that's tripping over itself, but they sound sleepy as it stands.
Yeah I'm a 'hater', whatever. I just think that if they're advertising this tour as being live and dangerous (or whatever) then they can afford to take some more risks.

Beats being stuck in 1986...live in the now. It's been 23 years since the poor fella passed on. Get over it.
The Golden Gate Bridge should have a long bungee cord for people who aren’t quite ready to commit suicide but want to get in a little practice.

Excuse me but did you just reply to your own comment? Look, I don't know what time it is there but it's 1:28pm here and time for your meds?[/QUOTE]
The second half of your quote is Haystacks' signature on every one of his posts, you blithering fool..
... which means you had to copy and paste it, which is effectively going out of your way to look like an idiot.

Love Kills was really good. The rest was pedestrian, but polished. I would like to see much more like Love Kills, do some stuff with AL we haven't heard before. He doesn't sound great delivering the Queen tracks Freddie style, but he is clearly a decent performer in his own right.

Roger's done that several times since 2002. But he didn't use a second drummer on the Q+PR tours.

The band sounded pretty good! The tempos weren't off. .. but Adam sounded more boring than the laziest jaded guy at a band rehearsal (I've heard it before)
He's got a LOT to learn about showmanship. Maybe he'll never get it.
Technically hits the notes but his performance was absolutely droning and phoned - in.
The only time he seemed to pick up the pace was with Love Kills.
The BAND rocked on FBG and Under Pressure, DSMN was okay. But it's embarrassing hearing him sing WWRY.... it's like uninterested half assed karaoke what a terrible way to open a gig. Total OATMEAL opener.
No passion until love kills

The tempos weren't off? Are you kidding me? Another One Bites the Dust was way too slow... FBG could have been sped up a bit too, but that wasn't as big of a deal.

Yes. Roger was one of the best live drummers out there. Now he apparently needs a back-up to help him out with the tricky parts. Or he wants to kickstart a Career for his Son? Either way, it feels wrong. With enough exercise, he should be able to pull it off on his own.

Well, just watched the entire show and I thought it was okay. "Love Kills" was an absolute killer. Quite frankly, my jaw dropped when I heard him sing it. What a great arrangement too. Would love to hear it as a Queen song. As for the rest... Well, I guess I am a little bored with hearing the same songs over and over again, no matter if it's Freddie singing them on another Magic era DVD or AL stepping into his shoes. But there is nothing we can do about it, so I thought they did well. Adam's voice sounded well on all tracks and I didn't mind his chat either. He's obviously still developing his stage persona and he's nowhere near Freddie at his peak, but hey, not that many singers are ever going to be. The band played well, but I would like to hear Brian's guitar a bit louder and yes, some songs could be sped up a little bit. I didn't think it was erroneously slow, but maybe they will get the message and pick up the pace a little bit during the tour. Having said that, FBG kicked ass and I enjoyed Roger's input in UP. Overall, don't think I will follow every single gig on You Tube with goosebumps, but gosh, I would love to see and hear them live. And once again, big thumbs up for "Love Kills", because it was a spark of genius. It kind of justified the whole thing and made it worthwhile. Good luck to them.

Roger Taylor is on the top of his game. I´ve listened to him playing very carefully, because i´m a huge fan of him and he sounded superb. He plays FBG like a pro that he is, very inventive (as usual) during the solo of DSMN and he sang UP while playing drums. I can clearly say that he´s playing better now than he was in 1986, and i believe he´s gonna surprise me even more.
Some of you claim to be musicians, and others claim to be involved with the music business. If you guys are this negative while creating music you´re never gonna make it. How can someone turn something so positive and happy like the IHeartRadio into a negative thing is beyond me.
I´m going to enjoy this summer tour to the max, even though i can´t go to the concerts. I´m happy because i know they´re happy and still going strong.

I'm posting this on behalf of the person who ripped the iHeartRadio concert in its entirety from the livestream. She managed to grab the HD720p FLV of the concert so there was no loss in quality that you get from video capture.
All the audio files that she's obtained from the stream can be found here (including CUE/chapters). The audio streams in AAC/M4A were extracted losslessly - no transcoding. As there was a glitch in the stream during Under Pressure (both the original livestream as well as the repeat, she's also made available a rip of the radio broadcast in MP3 format.
At this point in time she has not uploaded the video yet but (I hope) will do so eventually.

I totally disagree with you: in this decade his best drumming period was 2008, then he put his drumsticks on a wall for 6 years. Now he sounds worse than the first concerts in 2005. Last night he (and Brian) played too slowly, you can't play a Queen song that way, you need a certain physical condition to make a Queen song brilliant; they seemed a bad tribute band.
