it would have been too good for us to have Drowse in there, isn´t it?

well, if these are the "twists" announced by Brian ... One Vision leaves me cold, I´d really have prefered to keep Now I´m Here as the show opener. It worked really well on the previous leg of the tour.

Save Me? let´s see ....

and I was hoping they kept I Was Born To Love You. They nailed it last time! Can´t understand the "Japan / far east exclusive" policy on this one.

Save Me... One of the most important Queen songs to me personally. I somehow don't think Adam's going to deliver it with quite as much emotion as Freddie. He'll probably throw an unnecessarily higher note in there to make up for it though.

The small section where Brian and Roger do their lead vocals is the window where genuinely exciting things could happen - if only they'd break out of the fairly rigid thing they've gotten into. Brian sang Somebody to Love solo at one of the 2012 Hammersmith shows, and Show Must Go On at another, but I don't think he's ever going to be so adventurous again, especially since they're in front of somewhat bigger crowds now. Brian singing '39 live probably was exciting at one point, and it's a wonderful song, but it's been his lead vocal spot since the start of Q+PR... Not to mention that he's been playing Love of My Life the same way since 1992. He did sing Teo Torriatte in the recent Japan shows, which was a nice exception.

Was looking forward to going now same old lists??????

Pretty much Adam Lambert in a nutshell IMO.

I'm kinda looking forward to hearing how Adam does One Vision and Save Me! (I dont have the link but somones streaming the audio apparently)

neither of those links work! I aint buying it yet........lol

Looks like a real set lisr, can i ask how did u get into rehearsel??

thats the audio link for tonight.

Honestly, I´m disappointed. Now I´m Here was a tour highlight for me. Plus, I was hoping that I Was Born To Love You became a permanent song on the set list. But, with the exception of Save Me we got the same old again. At list they keep Stone Cold Crazy...

Still, it'll be nice to hear how Brian decides to approach Save Me.

Looking at their past live arrangements, there's a massive range of ways Brian could approach different parts of the song:

Crazy & Game Tour arrangement (easily my favourite, perhaps even prefer it to the studio version):
- Brian plays piano for the first verse, first chorus, second verse.
- Brian plays electric guitar for the second chorus.
- Freddie gets on piano while Brian plays a (stellar) electric guitar solo in place of the acoustic and synth instrumental from the album.
- Freddie recreates the multi-layered guitar part on piano (much like he did on live versions of White Queen).
- Freddie remains on piano throughout 'Each night I cry...' and the second guitar solo.
- Brian plays the second guitar solo as per the album.
- Freddie stands up for the last chorus, hence no piano. Brian keeps playing guitar.
- Brian plays the closing chords, which were played on piano on the album, on electric guitar in a slightly altered manner (rather than the first three chords, D, Dsus4, D, played in all equal measures, he starts on D for the second chord then hammers onto Dsus4.)
- The last chord is played big, with drums.

Hot Space tour arrangement:
- Brian plays piano for the first verse.
- Brian switches to electric guitar for the first chorus.
- Brian continues to play guitar for the second verse, whichever touring keyboard player they were with plays piano (actually piano voice on keyboard). He uses a pedal here to achieve a clean tone.
- Brian plays guitar for the second chorus, keyboard player continues to play piano
- Brian plays clean guitar for the first instrumental, emulating the acoustic guitar from the album. Piano continues
- Keyboard, now with a different, much synthier sound, plays the multi-layered guitar part. (Sounds really bad, they rightly turned it right down in the mix on Milton Keynes DVD but you can hear it clearly on bootlegs).
- Brian plays the second guitar solo as on the album.
- For the closing chords, Brian emulates the piano phrasing more closely on guitar. He also plays using the clean sound.



He has that hollow-bodied electric he uses for the start of Crazy Little Thing Called Love, which is capable of sounding very much like an acoustic guitar, so he might try and emulate the prominent acoustic parts in the song - mainly the first verse starting at 'Years of care and loyalty...' and the first part of the first instrumental section, with the synth and acoustic.

But then, he'll also want to play the Red Special for the lead guitar parts, I'm sure.

Undoubtedly, Spike will play the piano (I wonder if Brian still plays piano, come to think of it. Last time in anything Queen related was 1997 as far as I know.)

We'll soon see, anyway!

If that's what we have to expect ... boring setlist - where are the surprises ???

Suprises??? actually feeling so deflated with the set list, been looking forward to this for a while, yeah could understand in 2012 when they only done a few gigs to keep the tried and trusted songs, but a full blown tour would have been nice to see a few new gems thrown in there
