Just noticed the guitar behind the interviewer.
It looks like it might be the old drop D Fryer, but it appears to have been fitted with a humbucker in the bridge position! It could of course be the way the light has caught it, but the pickup does appear wider than a Trisonic.[/QUOTE]
I think it's the light, that guitar hasn't been changed, and he's still using it as a back spare for the Green Guyton in drop D

more than any song of the set, i seriously couldn't freaking believe, that the did "Its Late",

It's Late sounds pretty good. My only criticisms would be that Adam can't quite seem to get the vocal rhythm right at times - he seems to sing much too rigidly on the beat and misses the syncopations in Freddie's delivery. The other thing is that the drumming on the chorus is too dynamically flat - it sort of feels like the 4/4 just carries it the whole way through, when really each 'it's late' should come with two massive hits, plus most of the phrases end with a fill of some kind on the studio version. Tonally, I think it makes more sense for the instrumentation to remain restless, rather than fall completely into a groove.

Spread Your Wings seems pretty flawless. Feels a bit wrong without John, but I think it's lovely that one of his compositions other than Bites the Dust and Break Free is getting a bit of spotlight.

That's just not true. Adam is the best singer in the world right now, and he brings a magic to the song that Freddie never could. Please check the links in other threads for visual proof of Adam's breadth of style and talent. It's Late is another example of Adam adding to a song what Freddie couldn't and you have to accept there is no greater singer than him including Freddie.

Well, IMO Adam and Roger have been the bottlenecks from the get go for this collaboration, but I think both of them actually sounded more comfortable than usual in this particular number. It's Late is one of those higher placed songs where Adam can stretch those vocal cords while staying reasonably true to the original. There's still the slightly fabricated feel to his vocals, made evident by his lack of syncopation as you say.
As for Roger, he seems determined to give it a real go in this song, limited as he is in power these days (as mentioned, only just touching the crashes in those "It's Late" bits).

For sure. He deserves props nonetheless, especially considering he's belting the high harmony at the same time.

Both Spread Your Wings and It's Late were dropped for the Kansas City set, and the prior one omitted Spread Your Wings. Doesn't look promising

its going to look and sound a bit strange that a show based around NOTW visually with "Frank" now only has three songs from the album, two of which have been live staples since the original NOTW tour.
Hope SYW and It's Late return soon

This is really really strange indeed.
They build a show around the NOTW anniversary... Boasting they'll play songs from that album and then those songs are the first they drop???

How lame.

Oh noooo! And no substitutes either! (unless I missed something) We can only hope there was another "lights out" time issue specific to KC... I will be CRUSHED if they don't play them in Chicago!!!

I think they like to keep it top 10 in the red belt
