Lack of rehearsals.

It still amazes me the guys take these queen + AL shows when it comes to rehearsals so easy. Back in the day queen would rehears a full week or two weeks before going on tour.

I had expected they took this summer Europe tour to a bit of a new level. Change the setlist and stage with a few new songs etc just to keep them and the fans interested .

This is just another leg of the tour though so I wouldn't imagine they'd need much rehearsal, not like the beginning of a tour when they're starting from scratch. Even if they do any new songs Adam will have rehearsed them himself first so it would only need the harmonies etc rehearsing together.

Every artist needs and should rehearse, does Q+AL want to rehearse more... apparently not. Which is a bummer, because to me that's means less of chance of quite a few songs being performed.

they are playing the same songs they have played for quite a few years now.... probably don't see the need.

Maybe it is wishful thinking to consider the fact that we don't really know anything about their rehearsals. For all we know, they may have been rehearsing for some time. But then again, maybe they are going into automatic and playing the standard greatest hits set. We will soon know...

The NOTW tour has operated like a well oiled machine. I imagine the rehearsals this week were mainly to recalibrate and coordinate the performers and crew who haven’t been together for 3 months since March 6 in Australia.

I do hope they bring back It’s Late and Spread Your Wings into the Set List.

We can expect something new according to Brian words: "We're shakin' up the show - a LOT !! I think there will be some shock on some faces !!! Ouch ! Some heavy stuff go in' down ! Ha ha ! Can't wait !!! Bri

Songs they Play:

Rock You
Champions
BoRhap
GaGa
Crazy
Somebody To Love
Killer Queen
Break Free
I Want it all
Last Horizon
Guitar solo (the same as always)
Love of my life
Under Pressure
***Selfie Stick***
Bites The dust
Mother Down


I think Ive got them all good!

yeah, just read Brian´s last post on IG:

"We´re shakin´up the show a LOT !!"

As per their standards in recent years, that can mean, being super-optimistic .... dropping 3 songs form the latest setlist and adding 3 ? Two of which will probably be It´s Late and Spread Your Wings?

If the additions last until the concert in Barcelona next sunday, I´ll be satisfied :-)

ps: praying to every deity in the universe for them to drop WWRY+Hammer To Fall as the show opener (weakest opener in rock history).

They did some band rehearsals over the last week in London and are now doing three or four days full production rehearsals in Lisbon.

I saw the WWRY/Hammer To Fall opening in person and it is spectacular!!!!!

I enjoyed it when they started with Now I"m Here, which I thought was a good intro for Adam, kind of tongue in cheek and I really prefer that song to Hammer to Fall. I would love to hear Save Me or I Was born to love you as neither would take much practice since they have sung them before.

I wonder how much the band rehearsed? Hopefully more than last time/s.

It will be the same crap than it has ever been. WIth this annoying tool on vocals they could change 25 songs and it wouldnt make this trainwreck any good

Hundred's of thousands of people beg to differ with your opinion, runner. Check out ticket master reviews or facebook or some of the individual blog reviews. You are definitely in the minority and are quite the tool yourself to keep repeating the same garbage.
