Poll: Have you been to a live concert of Queen...

SweetCaroline wrote:

There are many full concert videos filmed by fans which include Brian’s gorgeous guitar solo up in the clouds and other solos as well as Roger’s drum battles and solos but not from a variety of angles that you get with s professional video.

Adam fans have grown to love all of the guys as much as Adam and no, I am NOT here just to promote and “big up” Adam because he doesn’t need me to do that.

There is more to Brian and Roger during Q+AL concerts than just the gutair solo and drum battle. I'd love for the fans who film these shows show more interaction between Brian and Roger...but mostly it's focused on AL.
Don't know about other fans. You have made your purpose on both Queen boards for years ow to big up, hype, promote and spam all things Adam. You hardly can't be bothered to discuss Queen with Freddie, and when you do, it's to compare it to Q+AL. Sorry,what you do is obvious, but you are oblivious to it. He doesn't need you to big him up, promote or defend him. Then why do it as much as you can?

There are some where I've seen parts like that, Brian's solo for example where Adam isn't on stage but when he is they predominantly focus on him and like you say without the multi angles you still don't get the same effect of the actual show.

I think Brian is wary about Q+AL recording together. I guess I can be honest with you, I hope they never record together. Q+PR, I enjoyed it live more than the studio album.
After all this time, it's surprising. They have allot of very good shows to choose from for a live DVD. I think every show was filmed too.

I don't expect they'll ever record together, Adam doesn't seem keen either. They do film all the shows and they did extra filming of I think the 02 shows earlier this year so it's possible they may do a DVD.

Here's hoping some get what they want.
A possible DVD of Q+AL from London, considering the history Queen has with the city would be strange, for me at least.

Every time I hear Lame bert sing, it sounds like he’s got still some cum of the night before in his mouth.

Every time you post something you sound like a not so smart 12 year old.

Icy, please, it is not a crime to not discuss Freddie on a QAL thread. You people would bite my nose off if I ever said something wrong. The one or two times I have said something, people jumped on me. It is a non-starter unless you are a die hard Queen fan that knows everything about Queen and most of the newer QAL fans just don't. I also don't understand why there should be more John and more Freddie in the show. John made his choice, he doesn't want to be involved unless there is some money coming in and I have no idea if there is or not. Obviously, tho, he is OK with the situation whatever it is. He is not a part of QAL. Freddie is always there in everyone's minds. The times he is mentioned and shown are amazing. If you overdo it, it just takes away and you don't want to think about what is missing when you go to a concert. You concentrate on what is in front of you all the while holding Freddie in your mind back there. It would just be a downer to have him in a holgram or whatever. I hate those things and I don't know how else he could be incorporated. You want people at a concert in the moment, not lamenting someone who is absent. I think it it the perfect homage to Freddie the way that they do it. It is very classy and heartfelt. There doesn't need to be anymore.

You have to realise Freddie will be discussed here. Not crap about leg length compared to AL's, but the legacy of Freddie's.
Hell, I don't know all there is about Freddie and Queen. I'm still learning more all the time.
I think it's very entitled to ask why there should be more Freddie and John during Q+AL shows. It's their music 99% of the time.
I'm not asking for Freddie or John to be shown all the time, of course not. DOOL if performed every now and then would be lovely, and if Freddie had the vocals to the last parts of Bohemian Rhapsody like it used to be done. Have Roger say something about Freddie, maybe even sing Old Friends and dedicate it to him? I'd be very ok with even that.
I strongly disagree with you that threre is enough of Freddie and John in these shows. There does need to be more. And frankly less of the gimmicks.

There was a lot of Freddie and John in Queen shows for 20 years: 1970 to 1991

Oh dear.
Freddie and Queen didn't tour after 1986.
1986, 1992 or 1997 is the last time John performed with Brian and Roger as Queen. Those last shows with John were more Queen than Q+AL. Do some research next time or at least use Google for a minute to look facts up. You just might learn something. The more you post, all the more reason I don't think you are a Freddie or Queen fan.
I'm talking about Freddie and John being included in Q+AL shows in case you missed it in my post above. It's true that there is less of them being included, especially in recent tours. Might not matter to you, cause you aren't a Queen or Freddie fan, and you want as much of AL as possible.

VOCAL HARMONY I do not need your opinion on my posts so get back on the streets. I am not starting wasting my time on you again so if your itching for a fight then get lost.
Sweetcaroline was talking about how high tech the new Queen lighting is, so what they have not got Freddie though so they will still look pretty empty on stage.

Yes the lighting is high tech.

The lighting in the 70's and early 80's was too. My point is that lighting was always been a major part of a Queen show, and still is, so how can you claim it is only there to cover up your perceived short comings in Lamberts ability.

You don't want my opinions? Then either don't post anything or don't read what I have to say. It's a public forum.

Freddie was awesome and stunning on The crazy tour back in 1979 then in 1982 Hot Space Tour at Leeds Elland Road Football Ground awesome show it was electric. 1984 The Works Tour Freddie wore my favourite outfit which is the white leotard with black flashes down the leg and on his back, & Finally who could not forget 1986 The Magic Tour which was Queens biggest and popular tour ever.
After that lot why would i want to see them now minus two band members and a fake lead singer?
I have seen Queen when they really were on fire and that cannot be topped ever! job done.

Did you go to a Queen gig to enjoy the band or just to see Freddie?
