New Queen + AL tour any thoughts?

You know what? AL fucking nails Machines.

Prediction. Most, if not all, of the following songs will be dropped from the set list within the next few weeks:

Now I'm Here
Seven Seas of Rhye/Keep Yourself Alive
In the Lap of the Gods...Revisited
One Vision
Machines (Or Back to Human)
'39
Doing All Right
Dragon Attack

Reasoning:
1. Show is too long for them to sustain.
2. They do not typically play these songs.
3. They have pulled similar, "non-typical" songs from recent set lists before (e.g., Spread Your Wings and It's Late).

The excuse given will be something along the lines that the songs "do not work well in a live setting".
Now watch what happens. :)

I'm not surprised that One Vision was dropped (I predicted that it could be one of the first ones to go several hours before the concert) because it just seemed out of place in the middle of the show. It's always been the opener or one of the first songs played at a show. And, it's not one of my favourite songs either, so I'm glad it's this and (at the moment) nothing else.

I'm hoping that there won't be another causality if Doing All Right is extended once again - In the Lap of the Gods... Revisited, Bicycle Race, Machines, '39, Dragon Attack and I Want It All are the only other songs not heard or referenced in the movie.
- Bicycle Race and Machines I reckon won't be dropped as they emphasis the extravaganza of a Q+AL show.
- Dragon Attack won't be dropped I think because it's big in America having been the b-side of Another One Bites the Dust, Queen's biggest selling single in America.
- I Want It All will never be dropped because it's one of the live staples of the show, a true rock classic.

I doubt at the moment they are going to drop a song which is in the movie especially when Doing All Right has been getting a big reaction from the audience - people are singing along to it.

But perhaps there could be more casualties as this is their longest ever show, and a long tour.

" I Want It All" who's so stupid to say it is going to be dropped?

The whole set list should be dropped because no one can master those songs as well as Freddie.

So no one else in the world ever should sing a Queen song? Any idea how stupid that sounds.

I'm glad I'll have the chance to see Brian and Roger before they retire or whatever but I'm not an Adam fan.

according to "machines": it's somewhat great to hear a song that the original band never has played live (to my knowledge).:
BUT: what kind of technical feature are the vocals made of ? pre-recorded stuff underlaying the live vocals ? or any kind of device that's enhancing the live sung words ? srsly! it's nice but feels so wrong !

Setlist website says they play Heroes at the end. WTF?[/QUOTE]

Yes they do, I went to their concert in Manchester, UK in December 2017, and they played it then. I think they've played ever since David Bowie died as tribute.[/QUOTE]

Video suggest it was just the Bowie recording played as the venue lights came on afterwards.

Rockchic Sure other people should sing Queen songs but Adam is a nobody outside of the Queen equation and he knows it.
Roll on Brian & Roger to retire and stop this perverted circus.

He's far from a nobody - you wouldn't know it but those of us who follow him do. You're laughable in your attempts to put him down all the time, really is so transparent and pathetic, but carry on making yourself look daft, it's what you do best.

The most educated and meaningful thing about this post is the word "equation" .

The rest is your usual garbage.

Dear Circle of Eidolon i do not care how you view my posts because i know better than you as a proper Queen fan. . . . . . . . . . You are a sad little keyboard nobody who makes judgements on every post i make which suggests you know there is some truth in what i say. You seem to be the child like character on here if you will not let folk have there say without judging them. . . . . [/QUOTE]

FFS the circle of eidolon is running rings around you and you can't even see it.

As far as being "a keyboard nobody who makes judgments". You've been making the same judgement on the same group of people over and over again

I wouldn't be that sure about Dragon Attack. It wasn't the B-side of the american 45 that's an error. On Elektra "Don't Try Suicide" made the flip to "Another One Bites The Dust".
I also think it's better to join the first concerts when they have some unusual song choices on the setlist. The last time on the News Of The World jubilee tour they skipped a lot of songs from the album after a few shows and played the usual suspects.

kind regards,
