Yes, I was not expecting Roger singing A Kind Of Magic!

More predictable 80's pop.
This could have gone one of two ways. When Brian said new song I thought for a minute Sleeping On The Side Walk or Fight From The Inside. . .
Yet another missed opportunity. At this rate Frank and the Bass drum head will have gone before the end of the tour![/QUOTE]

Yep... it’s gettin’ more and more silly each day. Nothing to do with the NOTW album anymore . Greatest hits setlist.. Glad I’m staying home.. zzz

Yawn! Totally uninspiring. "Risky, dangerous?" Hardly. It's like watching a once-proud bike rider hobbling about on glammed-up training wheels and calling it a marvelous race.

Yeah I must admit I'm starting to lose interest im seeing them again next year. I was hoping for these older tracks to be a major part of it all. Now as mentioned it's just a greatest hits concert. Needs more NOTW.

Glad AKOM was performed, so far it's the highlight of this tour so far! Hope it stays!

Makka, You won’t be disappointed. They are magnificent no matter what songs they perform!

It's a shame the band is playing in my country today, I don't have tickets and I don't care about it too much :(
SweetCaroline · Member since
I wouldn’t miss them for the world! The guys are getting up there except for Tyler, Neil and Adam! Their show is fabulous!

It was a fabulous show. They're having fun and they're still so good at what they're doing! Thumbs up

Calling this dangerous? LOL come one guys.
It's only dangerous if they perform atleast 4 songs they never done.
Something like:
Innuendo
Hitman
Sleeping On The Sidewalk
Breakthru.
But no, we get fucking, FUCKING. A kind of magic..

It's Late
Spread Your Wings
Sleeping On The Side Walk
Fight From The Inside
Break Thru
Innuendo
Head Long
I Was a Born To Love You
Made In Heaven
Long Away
Is This The World We Created
All the above should have been played, if not every night, certainly regularly in favour of the more predictable. The NOTW tracks because that's what they claimed the tour would reflect. The rest are unplayed greatest hits, therefore not unknown to joe blow in 112 row J, and somethings new for those who've been fans/ been going to see the band for years.
The last two, why not. One reflects the world we live in and hasn't been played since 86 and the other a song real fans would probably love to hear at a Queen (+) gig .

I saw the show in Amneville and have to say the performance is smoking hot.
Brian May is in absolute top shape, playing inspired and beautifully. He also looks good and happy.
Roger on the other hand...seems to have a difficult time. He was out of breath after the drum battle, it really asks a lot od him to just perform on an acceptable level. He looked tired and he really needs Tyler Warren. His voice is still good though.

I have no doubt that the shows are brilliant. I think Brian did himself a huge favour in 2012 by choosing to tour ( like the old days) without a 2nd guitarist. His style of playing seems to suit being the only guitar.
What I don't understand is Roger insisting on the drum solo/battle. He obviously needs the extra percussion to carry his parts so why choose to do something that requires still more energy and fitness which he appears to be lacking in. Don't get me wrong I'm not knocking his playing which has a very natural swing to it, just that all those years not touring are showing now.
