Brian's website is no longer bothering to post gig setlists so it's no surprise they're sticking to the same setlist.
Don't get me wrong. It's an amazing show. Saw them 5 times with Paul in 2005-6; then 6 with Adam in 2014; 2 more in 2017 and this year's, for a total of 14 shows.
I must say some were better than others but I was sick of it by the 6th one in 2014. I promise not to overdo it again, especially since they don't really change the setlist and, even worse, their dialogs and interactions are all but scripted. I cringed at Brian's comment last year: "Oh, we're just playing around.. we can play anything we like" and then *spontaneously* transitions onto Somebody to Love's chords on guitar.... same monologue, same fake spontaneity, every night.

I'll see then again if they tour again near me in the future. I just don't do more than a couple of shows on the same tour again.

They've a few days off now before the next show so it's possible they may make one or two changes but I can't see them altering much, it's a more casual audience for the Vegas shows, people picking up last minute tickets and maybe not knowing more than a few of the big hits.

Yeah they do stick pretty much to the same script but I would imagine most people don't go to loads of shows on the same tour although I know some of Adam's fans do. I only went to one so it didn't get old for me thankfully.

i am just amazed they don't bore themselves with the same thing time and time again.

Why would they change what is working so well and getting such a great response from the audience?

They were never a band who deviated greatly from the established setlist on any give tour.

Brian has said that he enjoys playing what he plays but doesn't see the point of making life difficult (or something along those lines).

The instant access the Internet provides makes things feel even more predictable.

I agree with you, but go and listen to recordings of the Magic tour for lack of spontaneity. Same setlists, same Freddie lines about them not braking up etc.

In the mid 70's Brian's rehearsed "joke" about using an orchestra for 39. The placement night after night of gaps in the set where Freddie would address the crowd.

What they're doing now is not that much different to what they've always done.

By the Magic Tour they were essentially a greatest hits act, more so thirty years on. Yeah like you I'd love to hear something different but we are in minority. Almost all the audience owns greatest hits, but what percentage has every album. As soon as they play a "deeper cut" they are only playing to the people who have the album it appears on.

They are doing Bicycle Race and I’m In Love With My Car. Aren’t those considered deep cuts?

Queen fans know that there is so much more to Queen than just the hits.

Good thing you are no expert about Queen. The things you say and ask at times is stupid. If you were a Queen fan, you would know the answer.
Short answer to your question is...No. Hardly deep cuts.

He is a spammer, a spambot, I would say, can't you tell that much?! Your craziness is through the roof lately. Are you pissed because he made some threads sink lower on the forum or something?
Your are losing it sweetcaroline/CNB. Mind boggling what you throw out there.

fairydandy is a fool. He watches YouTube videos of QAL and thinks he is an expert on Adam. Adam does NOT “screech” and he is NOT “fat!” Also, he did NOT come in “third on X Factor.” LOL

You are a good one to call anyone a fool.
Expert this, expert that you say about people and posts you don't like, yet you didn't even know if two Queen songs were deeper cuts earlier today.
You are the fool. And once again, butthurt by what is said elsewhere that you can't reply to. What are you going to do until next May? Keep reading QOL and bring what is posted there that you have issues with to here? You should get one of your buddies to post for you because it seems to bother you that much.
Cry in your beer, darling ;-).

BR belongs in the greatest hits section.
IILWMC not. Roger loves the song and did it on other tours before. Fans love it, but it got the least applause from the audiences at my shows this past year. Many people in the audiences didn‘t know it. I would call it a deeper cut.
