I was including Roger in both the fingers (hands) and vocal cords category! Is there nothing that is safe from criticism?
Yes, every single one of these shows is MAGNIFICENT and because of every single member of the cast and crew! They are top notch professionals

The last Queen plus AL show I went to was last year at the Barclaycard Arena or Arena Baclaycard whatever they chose to call it ! Set off really early from Stamford 2.30pm after stopping for a short comfort break hit outside Brum 5pm ,we then had to fight our way the last two miles taking 1 and a half hours.Almost gave up ,why build this arena in the middle of a massive city.No car parking stewards and took another half an hour to park in disabled area. After using toilets buying mega expensive coke ,sweets programme,got to our seats and wheelchair space at 7.30ish.No support as usual ,I wont bore you but the worse bits were Adam sitting on robots head,Adam on his bike !Adams voice, Brian with his grey hair making him look sooo old.Adam wearing a small crown,no sleeping on the sidewalk or its late.The drum battle,Roger was clearly second best.Love of my life should be dropped it was all about Freddie an Mary and is not relevant these days.I have seen Queen 5 times with Freddie,2times with Paul and 2 times with Adam.For me it is over I play very little post 1980 Queen these days.At least John had the dignity to walk away from all of this.The best places to see bands these days I think is the NEC ,Sheffield Arena and Leeds Arena great views at Leeds.Will never go to see Queen again I think they are money mad,making money out of Freddies legacy.

Oh my! I watch every periscope and/or listen to every audio stream I can get my hands on.
But some evidently wanted this band to die with Freddie? Unbelievable!

Pilip storey - thanks for the review. SC and her sad bunch of lunatics are ignoring it (as expected) as their argument ("you have to be there") wont fit in your case as you actually WERE there. Those bits you mentioned I can imagine how hard it must be to see this annoying guy fronting this once awesome band. They have passed the embarrassing mark LONG ago now. They hsould have tetried in dignity after the fitting end with Made in Heaven, which was 23 years ago. Instead they keen dragging the Queen name thru the dirt for ages now. QPR was decent as it was believable but this collaboration is just wrong on every level imaginable. An utter disgrace for longtime QUeen & Freddie fans. I never expected them to step so low. But the mighty $ gets you so low I guess

Can't speak for anyone else but there's a reason I ignored it. He was actually there like you say so his opinion of it is valid from his perspective, so not going to argue with that. That doesn't make what he says true for everyone else though, not everyone is going to like what they do but evidence says thousands are loving it.

Yep, it‘s a valid review of someone’s personal experience. No objections there.
Looking at it, it‘s very personal and the first half of it is about getting to the venue and to the seats. Counting the complaints just until then, I would say, the writer already started the concert in a very bad mood.
Then the band came short to his expectations and it all summed up more and more. It’s his experience and his right to never go again.
I will just say, that this is a review, you will barely find.
And I think, the complaint about Brian’s hair ridiculous. It makes the whole review look very weak, because the person seemed to find a hair in everything. Normally not worth to comment on, but you asked.

As the other posters stated, that is a valid criticism, but I agree with Sealion, he certainly sounded put out before he even got there. I am not sure of the age, but he did mention wheelchair space, so either he or someone else is not in the best of health. As an older person all that wears you out and puts a damper on the whole experience. I did think the Brian was old due to his grey hair was really funny. I imagine the poster is also no spring chicken if he saw Freddie 5 times. He probably had Freddie and Queen up there in his wonderful memories category and nothing will ever be like that, so it is disappointing if it isn't like you remember. Some people can ignore that but others can't get past the nostalgia and nothing wrong with that! No reason to disagree, Runner!

Yes I saw Queen at some classic concerts ,had a great time at Milton Keynes,Queen on the crazy tour and the Knebworth show.Queen have been part of of my life for forty three years now.But there are so many other bands that I am interested in these days ,Muse,Stereophonics,Rob Zombie,Deep Purple.Isaw Bryan Adams two weeks ago and he was was great and I am seeing Sheryl Crow next week..Being disabled does make it hard getting to shows but I don't mind it's just a bummer what Queen did on their last tour,if I want to see a comedy show I will get tickets for that.For those of you that enjoy the present Queen band I am pleased for you and enjoy it ,after all people get so excited about these things!

Philip, Adam singing “Killer Queen” on top of the NOTW robot and singing “Bicycle Race” while riding a flowery tricycle is a comedic blasphemy for you? What about Freddie dancing on the stage with hairy chest baring onesies and ballet slippers or super short white shorts and totally topless? Do you think THAT was being serious and dignified?
