Just the ramblings of a crazy old man who worked with Freddie Mercury and surely doesn't recognize talent Brian starts talking around 45.0

I know a few promoters here in Mexico, (1 of them small promoter in association with local government and another big promoter) who had been in contact with Queen management and they told me that it seems the band is open to new dates but they are planning logistics and "some other stuff" (perhaps promotions for Rainbow and Queen Forever) and that the band "were considering their next course of action" but it seems that they are truly considering a world tour.
This is a rumor that my friends promoters told me was true, so even when I trust them, please take this as rumor!

Depends on what you like in a singer. Paul Rodgers is a rock legend with a great voice and great repertoire of his own. I enjoyed the way he sang and interpreted the Queen songs. Personally I loved the Free/Bad Co. songs he did during the Q+PR tours. Paul has a great stage presence too. Very charismatic.
Far more interesting than this musical/broadway type of singer who doesn't write his own songs and became runner up on a talent show. He may have a nice vocal range but he sounds like a squirrel to me. Horrible vibrato too. Fake/insecure stage presence.
Paul Rodgers > Adam Lambert. Anytime.

Adam DOES write his own songs. Sounds like a squirrel, horrible vibrato, insecure stage presence? Were you there in person? Of course not because you wouldn't say those things if you were. People were blown away by this show and by Adam's vocal prowess! You need a new set of talking points because all of the old ones have been proven wrong by the thousands of people who enjoyed this 24-day tour!

LOL!
That song is terrible. Adam still sounds like a squirrel with a horrible vibrato.
By the way:
"Runnin" was written by Baker, Richard Colson / Thomas, Theron Makiel / Thomas, Timothy Jamahli / Samuels, Matthew Jehu / Williams, Tyler Mathew Carl / Singh, Jaswinder.

Ok my opinion.... I was in three concerts (Philly, MSG, Uncasville)
Best Concert's MSG (Intro was perfect!!)
No the best Concert: Philly (People was so quiet)
High Points: Love Kills and Who wants to live forever.
Low Points: They did not perform Don't stop me now (after few shows)... they did not perform The Show Must Go On (after Uncasville's concert) and probably when they did the change Love kills for Dragon Attack.... What did they think???
Comparison between 2012 and 2014 tour:
2012 setlist better than 2014 setlist
Brian May sounded better in 2012 than 2014
Roger Taylor sounded better in 2014 than 2012
Adam Lambert had better performace in 2014.
Stage and visual effects: better in 2014.
Personal Opinion ;)

Saw them in Houston, July 9, 2014 and they were great. Brian, on his Soapbox, mentioned he didn't think he played well that night but after having seen them twice in '78, twice in '80, once in '82, the Brian May Band opening for GN'R in 1993 and QPR in 2006, from a fan's perspective I thought the whole show was good. The Houston audience was kind of hesitant to really bust out and sing along a few times but sometimes that's just he audience and has nothing to do with how good the performance is.

It's great to see these airport arrivals (Korea and Japan - links on QOL).
I think the whole tour is just getting better and better.
I guess the only thing that worries me is the curtain drop/lift/carry off. That's the only Spinal Tap-ish potentially difficult moment, it seems. Ha. I keep waiting for one of the curtain guys to be caught like a fish in a net and dragged off. Not that I want that to happen. It just seems very heavy and like it could get completely stuck on the stage.

I must be one of the few who HATE the live version of WWTLF from the magic tour...
One of the few songs that are less powerful live than in the album version.
The album version is powerful and dramatic while the live version is powerful only on a vocal level. To me, the Q+AL version is better because its, just like the studio version, powerful and dramatic at the same time.
I think the FM Tribute version had a slightly better arrangement than the boring '86 tour, sadly Seal's vocals are boring and tasteless to my ear...

The main difference I see between Freddie's Wembley version and Adam's Melbourne version is that Adam goes up another octave twice during the course of the song. Both men have amazingly powerful voices and that's the main reason Adam was chosen for this tour!
