Apologies if this idea has been posted before. I feel there's a good chance it has but I couldn't find it. I wondered had Freddie not become ill and Queen had continued to tour what sort of set list you think the band might have offered while touring The Miracle or Innuendo. Go with the songs on those albums even though some may not have been created without Fred's illness. Here's my suggestion for The Miracle Tour to get you started...
1 Breakthru (vocal intro played over PA then band enters stage to play live)
2 Tie Your Mother Down (straight into classic Queen rock – aaah, reassuring)
3 I Want It All (the recent big hit)
4 Somebody to love (it’s back where it belongs)
5 A Kind Of Magic
6 The Invisible Man
7 Another One Bites The Dust (followed by Freddie vs the audience vocal)
8 The Miracle
9 Under Pressure
10 I Want To Break Free
11 Impromptu vocal & Instr. (incorporating Hang On In There)
12 Guitar solo,
13 Now I'm Here,
14 Love Of My Life
15 Is This The World We Created
16 His Latest Flame (or other Elvis cover/Tutti Frutti (or other fun old r'n'r song)
17 Party (abbreviated)
18 Bohemian Rhapsody
19 Hammer To Fall,
20 Crazy Little Thing Called Love,
21 Radio Ga Ga
22 One Vision
23 We Will Rock You,
24 We Are The Champions,
25 God Save The Queen

I would:
-Remove from your list:
Breakthru
Party
The Invisible Man
-Add to your list:
The Show Must Go On (sung in the style Elton John did in 1992 & 1997)
Scandal
These Are the Days of Our Lives (great crowd reaction when Freddie says 'I still love you' at the end)
Headlong (maybe - not my fave)

It's been done a few times I'm sure. I just remember the last.
And it was ONLY for the MIRACLE in one instance, then there was someone who wished for a fictitious innuendo Tour set as well.
Meh. Incorporating BOTH albums? As if somehow there were somehow a last minute medical MIRACLE?
That means that an INNUENDO opener would nix PARTY from the set. (Weak song but great opener)
.... I'm at a loss for suggestions. Many of the songs from INNUENDO would be hard to perform live time and time again. Some (IGSM) just wouldn't fit the LIVE setting of a large concert very well.
But then again. ... this is coming from a band that actually performed weak stuff like BODY LANGUAGE and STAYING POWER live.
As long as it included BIJOU somewhere it'd be cool.
Of course, it makes sense that much of the material would have never been possible without the horrible circumstances surrounding the band. So it's all a paradox.

Rough running time per show: 112 minutes
The big hits: Check
Live staples: Check
Structure mainly inspired by Magic Tour.
Somebody to Love returns.
Show Must Go On thrown in at the very end just like Friends Will Be Friends to shake up the formula.
Is This The World We Created replaced by Days in the acoustic set.
The Miracle acts as a piano song early in the set similar to Play The Game. Set is otherwise light on piano (which is probably how it would have played out).
No Medley at all
Following the trend of barely reintroducing old material as time goes on

No Was It All Worth It?

I had it listed before Radio Ga Ga as an opener for a first encore but while I think it would be a great live song I don't think it would last longer than a tour supporting mainly The Miracle. I Want It All however is clearly a favorite with Brian and Roger and a more obvious song to keep in the set.

No one mentions Save Me. That song absolutely ought to be perfomed live in my opinion.
Costa86 · Member since
^Yes, it's a great live song. That, and Play The Game. Montreal 81 is so good mainly because of those two.
Chief Mouse · Member since
^ agree :-)

This topic generally comes up every 3-4 months, so here's just a few of the dozens from qzones past from a simple 'queen innuendo tour' search
Thanks for posting this. For some reason I find myself more interested in what the Miracle tour would have been like as the songs weren't as strong on that album as they were on Innuendo. I'm convinced the vocal intro to Breakthru would have been an awesome opener and a much beefier rock sound would have made this track a perfect start to a great concert. I Want It All would of course have been terrific but The Invisible Man? Phew, that's a hard sell to make that sound fun on stage, it's just not a great track. I prefer Scandal but given that both Roger and Brian have both expressed a lack of enthusiasm for it I can't see it having been performed live. Party isn't a great track but a live version would have been a great jam I think. Would have worked well live as a fiddly into to Bo Rhap, the way Mustapha used to do. I'm pretty sure The Miracle would have been performed live (Brian loves it!?) but I'm not convinced it would have been that popular with the audience. It's very schmaltzy. I doubt any of the other tracks would have been performed, even Was It All Worth It. It's too complicated and I don't know where it would fit in with all the other more popular rock songs that they'fd have to get through. Someone else mentioned Save Me - one of the best live songs they ever did but sadly it didn't survive the Hot Space tour so I don't think it would have appeared on The Miracle Tour.

I did something like this a few years ago, and found (through the magic of Google) what I had done... but I'm going to revise it a bit.
That being said, I'm pretty sure something along these lines would have killed Freddie, so I'm assuming only a Miracle tour, not an Innuendo tour.
