Perhaps against all odds, TEMPOS were up to proper live speed (my biggest beef with recent tours), notes were well-articulated, no lengthy "can we celebrate Freddie together" awkward excuses... just fabulously presented rock & roll, with stunning harmonies and a rich visual presentation... there's just no getting around it - the Global Citizen performance of Q+AL was top notch - or, from another perspective, the best in decades. BRAVO.[/QUOTE]
I loved the Paul Rodgers era, but I agree - it almost seems like they have spent the last 20 years building up to this moment. After losing America in the 80s, they just headlined a massive festival in Central Park watched by millions on TV.
Queen are currently the biggest band in the world. Soak it in, folks.

It only showed
1) Lameturds shrill vocals have become even more annoying
2) May cannot play properly anymore as he fucks up the solo if BoRhap almost every time
3) Lameturd wearing the crown is still the worst taste ever
4) 72 year olds should not dress as Robots
5) They are obviously using backing tapes now and got fucked when someone pressed play at the wrong time. You are busted
To sum it up: e m b a r r a s s i n g and an insult to what Queen once stood for

"72 year olds should not dress as Robots"
Okay, that was funny. But I disagree. All 72 year olds should dress as robots.

Over at QOL the case has been closed. It seems we have officially entered the backing tape zone. Welcome to Playbackland. Must be an expensive machine if they charge 350 euro for normal seats.
And please don't tell me it is an "ECHO". The sound came up BEFORE QAL were miming to the track. An Echo comes later. B U S T E D.
Just when you thought they hit Rock bottom along comes this...

If you need proof watch this when the solo comes up we enter playback land. Sad to watch and an utter disgrace.
And some pple on here compare it to Live Aid 1985. U N F U C K I N B E L I E V A B L E

Yes the case is closed on QOL. It wasn’t a backing tape. The video footage, that set in during the song, is cued to an audio track. As it’s common for such a show.
What is not common and wasn’t intended, was to play the audio track as well as the video along the live performance. You use the recorded audio only for rehearsal purposes.
Blame the Soundsystem of the festival or the technicians. It wasn’t playback and it wasn’t the band‘s fault.

Nope, "since Live Aid" compared it to EVERYTHING WHICH FOLLOWED Live Aid. Using Live Aid as an immovable landmark.
Intersting it makes everyone happy to jump all over technical things and assume it was "the band's legendary backing tape", rather than something else (connected with the simulcast, or at the mixing board [sealion offered this, essentially], or backstage, etc.).

Or you can just put your biases aside and read the explanation posted here. But that would be asking far too much.
You really do spend a lot of your time focused on something you hate. I pity you.

Yup and some people are still enjoying it.
Your last comment got me thinking, the show on Saturday night was their biggest audience ever in North America.

Intended or not it was fucking playback. Common or not it was fucking playback. Idiot.
