Soundcheck for the New Years Eve concert.....very interesting!

maybe I just have the sound set right on my computer but I can the hear the bass guitar just FINE!!!

Listening on tv. During AOBTD the riff played by Brian totally overshadowed the riff played by the bassguitar. That was a pity.

The tv mix is good, but very 'clean' and 'safe'; not much bass and the guitar is not that 'raw'.

I hope to see what they played before the broadcast joined at Don't Stop Me Now; hopefully the bbc may put the whole gig online or on the red button after.

If 'Drowse' was soundchecked there's no way that'll be for tonight, at least in the broadcast 'TV hits show' - possibly in preparation for the tour though.

Brian is very sloppy, CLTCL, was actually dreadful, when he played the intro. He also looks a little drunk and very much not on it, tonight.

I've never been an Adam fan and especially with Spike and his dreadful samples and cumbersome piano playing, it really is like 'Fake Queen', well half of a 'Fake Queen'.

BTW, the bass is there, and the levels are very good, I'm listening to it not on a PC, the mix is very good. If only they could get the singer out of the mix, it would be tons better.

Brian is not 'on it' tonight??? Not a bum note in the first hour, and some nice improvised bits on the solos; I must be watching a different gig.....

Agreed, he's playing near perfection.

I enjoyed it - that's what it's all about. Happy New Year!

I thought that was excellent, all around!

Also agreed, I Want It All and Show Must Go On we're especially on.

As for the show overall, disappointing hits only setlist. But that's par for the course for a big broadcast like this. They gotta go for the masses...

They played the studio recording of AKOM over the closing credits.........was it the studio version at the start, too?

Great show...Very nice addition of Killer Queen between the first and second Bohemian Rhapsody parts. I also think Brian shined tonight and they were having a lot of fun...you can see in their faces...That's joy and it translates. Happy new year folks!

For those that think my comments about Brian not being on it. Let me tell you I don't drink and am therefore sober. And the playing of the intro for CLTCL was awful.

Watch it all again, when you are sober.

hey so looking forward to the 17th and this is a queen fan who's first concert was in 84 so bloody excited

I dont know about you, guys, but I got a very weird mix in the BBC stream, sometimes I heard only one instrument, sometimes just Roger or Adam's vocals, etc

Anyway, I enjoyed it, I liked it and such a shame they didnt played Drowse.

According to Brian's site, they didnt played anything more that the songs we got on the stream.

Since I had lots of issues with the mix (Im sure all of you had the same issues as me) I was watching the video while listening an audio-only stream from someone in the audience, which BTW was great!

I didnt have any issues like that! Only thing I had was some weird background noise now and then......I thought it sounded pretty good altogether........
