I'd prefer to be kind, but...last night...

If it's because of time restrictions, why don't they just start earlier?

Went last week to Guns n Roses. They played 3,5 hour.... pfff

It might.be cause of time restrictions. Someone may need to use the arena the next day and they need to finish by a certain time to get ready to take down the stage and put up the next one. I know in Toronto nobody else is using the ACC till july 25th so hopefully they don't cut songs[/QUOTE]

That wouldn't be an issue. Most arena shows would be out by 1:30 AM. Anything between 2 and 3 would be a long load out. Remember some bands will play back to back shows in different cities and load in times usually start at 7AM or an hour either side of that

The Queen show is big but not on the scale of the last Lady GaGa tour which was out of the venues by 2AM

Many venues have a curfew on live music and running over that time usually results in heavy fines, it's probably the reason SYW was cut at the Hollywood Bowl.

Saw Guns as well. 3 hours and 22 minutes. To be honest, I thought it was a bit much. Skip all the solo bits and just give me the full band. No interest in Duff singing some songs or Slash/Richard's noodling.

though it was a great show Pim in Nijmegen. Loved Angus from AC/DC on stage

I'm disappointed they dropped the "new" songs from the setlist. Now it's pretty much the same show they did last time. Adam held a Twitter party and someone asked him why they dropped the songs from the show. His answer: "Because we felt like it."

Really hope they add It's Late and hopefully Spread Your Wings also for the Canadian shows...It's Late rarely but sometimes still gets airplay on Q107...think the fans will love it vs just bringing out an easy standard like IWTBF...would rather have that then GDML anyway

With succes I sold my four tickets of Queen and Adam Lambert this weekend for the gig in November. Had an feeling before this might happen. As usual it's one big commercial circus focussing on the Greatest Hits Fan.

I really lost my interest on this Queen + Adam project

I just came back from their show in Montreal and I think I was more disappointed that they dropped "These are the days of our lives" from the set than "Spread your wings" or "It's late". Overall, the show was mostly good, but no real surprise apart from a bit of "Bicycle Race". And I do agree that the tempo of most of the songs was reaaaaaally slow, maybe Roger should have taken a break to sing and let the other drummer play. And why didn't they play "A kind of magic"? Neither did they in the last tour...

BUT. But I'd rather see a show that was just OK rather than to miss it and never know how it went and regret it for the rest of my life.

Oh, and I don't know if the venue was the problem (the Bell Centre in Montreal never sounds very good), but I found the drum sound to be pretty low for that kind of show.

I was for the 1st time since Friday Wembley '86 thinking of actually getting some tickets for one of the shows in the UK despite the disgusting prices for' em.......and all because of BR, GDML, IL, SYW - so glad I didn't.

I just don't get them!!

Well I'm off to the Toronto show tonight and I've come to terms with the fact that the two highlights for me, syw and it's late will not be played. This is a disappointment but I'm just going to enjoy the show. No poi t going into it with a frown. One day we'll find out why they dropped them. I'm just looking forward to seeing Frank.

Frank's gone too. Will be replaced by Big Bird from Sesame Street for all future shows.

Disappointed they dropped SYW and it's Late. If Adam struggles with the high parts sing them lower like Freddie used to do.

Nope - he slayed both, like the album versions.

It's Late on this tour is the best thing they've done live since that one-off of It's A Hard Life with Tom Chaplin. But c'est la vie.
