All in all it looks a decent set list, nothing that sets my heart on fire though. Last time when they added It's Late and SYW I was absolutely desperate to see them performed live. Of course ultimately they dropped those two songs before they reached Toronto and I wonder if the same fate will befall Machines. With Doing All Right featuring on the movie soundtrack it probably has a better chance of survival. I think the guitar solo is still too late in the set and the changes are more about moving stuff around rather than doing anything radical. But they did pretty much announce this as a greatest hits set. All that being said, ive seen nothing other than a written down set list so cant judge it as a show. Hopefully it looked and sounded great.

They played 31 songs, they played songs they never played before or more than 40 years ago.
I think it’s highly impressive.
Someone who is not happy with this setlist and this quality performance should really get their feet on the ground.
How many deep cuts were Queen doing in 1986? How many songs did they play per gig?
There you have your answer.

So you consider "Speech" /(nr 6)/"Innuendo" (Taped Intro)"/ Band Introduction/Doin Alright (Snippet) and Guitar SOlo as Songs? Interesting
How many Deep Cuts Queen played in 1986: Answer: A Kind Of Magic / WWTL FOrever/Lap Of the Gods/Friends Will be Friends/TEar It Up and a Rock n Roll Medley for example . The Magic Songs were NEW and fresh at the time and QUEEN (who stopped existing in 1991) were an innovative active recording group very far away from the sad nostalgia cover band they are now. And they had a frontman you could call a singer not a lame asian ladyboy with a girls voice

Amazing setlist and from some of pictures it seems like it's a visual treat.
I kinda hope that Machines stays on the setlist, at least until I can see them in NYC. Same with Keep Yourself Alive. I just love it.
I predict the first song to go will be One Vision but hopefully they all stay or get replaced with exciting stuff. I can also see them dropping, say, TSMGO in favor of TATDOOL or perhaps Dragon Attack in favor of some crappy Adam Lambert solo song.
I'm very pleased with this setlist. The easier path would have been to do exclusively a Greatest Hits setlist to cater to their new BoRhap Movie fanbase but they're actually taking advantage of the fact that more people now know Keep Yourself Alive, Seven Seas of Rhye, Now I'm Here and Doing All Right, etc.
Amazing.

Runner_70: You really hate Adam don't you? Very sad that you can't just enjoy the experience for what it is. A great visual and Audio experience! Open up a bit mate. Don't be so fucking miserable. You may actually enjoy the show!!!

I hate Lamebird you are spot on. He sounds like a lil Girl is destryoing my fave songs and looks like a twat. The couch is back as well. And what about the motoryccle? And May wearing a masque like Ghost??? He butchered the Bo RHap solo as well. Embarrassing just when you thought it could not go worse they prove you wrong. Stage looks lame as well

They have done SSOR and NIH before but yeah they seem to be experimenting a bit more, hopefully they might add and swap one or two others at some point but that's probably wishful thinking on my part but I'm sure if would have been great live.

Be good if we get similar in the UK.

The set list was awesome. I was blown away by Machines and the Innuendo opening was epic with gorgeous lighting.
If "Queen is Freddie" as he says why doesnt he fuck off? I see he doesnt wear the wig anymore. He looked even more like a twat with this thing on in his latest flop Videos

I see that in your drug induced stupor you can't tell the difference between a piano and a couch. . . Doesn't bode well for your ability to coment on musical content, singing abilities or production values. . .
