It was good while it lasted...

Is the guitar all right?

The real answer will be on Thursday the 13th in Chicago!! If there's curfew problems or Brian's guitar is on the blink that's probably why SYW and IL were cut, im praying they're not totally gone as it makes he whole news of the world anniversary thing a bit pointless with only 1 song from the album being played[/QUOTE]

I'll be CRUSHED if they're not back the the set on Thursday! I have been avoiding YouTube, deliberately to be surprised by the renditions, and if they're cut there too, I'll be just heartbroken!!!! Crossing fingers for a great Chicago show & maybe a live recording, now that they're all warmed up!!!

yeah I hear you guys! I'm flying over from the UK to do the Brooklyn show on the 27th and by god ill be disappointed if those 2 aren't in, as I've loved hearing them on youtube and wanna see them live!

I feared that it will come to this when SYW was first dropped due to the time issues on the third night of the tour. [/QUOTE]

SYY wasn't dropped because of time issues at Hollywood Bowl.

It fell out the set because (a) Brian couldn't live without performing another tedious as **** guitar solo and (b) the band basically have little courage left when it comes to really testing the audience.

you seem to have all the inside information re the set list. if what you say is true why was Al's stool put out before the Hollywood bowl encore and the glitter ball lowered to show trim?

I'm usually one to say it's up to them what they play, but I will truly be gutted if It's Late and SYW are not back for the Toronto show.
I have been looking forward to them so much.
Seems crazy to have all the Robot stuff happening on stage but not actually play songs off the album it represents.

It WAS due to their late start.

In fact i saw the second bowl performance and was there well before the sun went down. Apparently they had already had to start to get the full gig in under the allotted time. I had deliberately left early and still missed the opening 3 songs

It was there the second evening.

But yes. .."tis' true"....so few people seemed like they knew the material but the applause WAS raucous.

I didn't record much. And fear that mostly the audience would be heard on my partial recording.

Anyways. ...i hope they retain the NOTW set list. Itd be even better if ANOTHER NOTW song showed up on the tour. ...not the other way around

Maybe Adam's voice was under strain? Up until now, SYW and It's Late have been going great IMO, but they both lie very high in range on a number of key phrases. We will have to wait and see.

If time was the issue they could have cut Get Down Make Love...probably my least favourite Queen song. To think it was left in when IL and SYW were culled is criminal in my opinion. Going to the Dublin show in November so they have until then to get their act together.

Are they playing so fast in KC or is the video corrupt?

But they weren't playing that show for you!

They could have cut any song or songs from the set but what ever the choice was there will always be someone who would argue it should have been another song

We would have to see what they play in Chicago to comfirm If they are taken out

Listening to the Chicago stream now...

"Under Pressure" into IWTBF. Could simply be an addition to the set, but I fear this might seal the deal for SYW.

:(

Such bullshit. Get rid of the robot while you're at it.
