I always consider it blasphemy when songs from The Miracle and Innuendo are played live.

Boring set list, by the way.

I wouldn't call it blasphemy, but I don't like it when AL sings Queen songs from the last couple of Queen albums. It doesn't sit well with me. Those albums sure as heck were Freddie's blood, sweat and tears like no other...a very ill man gave it his all on those albums.

So are you saying that the songs on those last two albums shouldn't be performed, that after everything that went into writing and recording them they should only exist in the time capsule of the medium that you listen to them on?

Excactly- especially when you know the history of those songs and the fact that Lamebird is making fun of the whole Queen catalogue with his annoying "singing". Does he shake his butt on TSMGO as well like a duck and performing it as a comedy song like on STL?

So I presume all the material Zappa recorded in the last few years of his life shouldn't be heard by live audiences. . . . . . All hail runner_70 the person who wants to kill live music.

He sings it with dumb faces

What the Hell is wrong with Lambert?

Is he trying to vomit there?

He is singing with passion like Freddie used to do!

I just want to kill live music when the music is killed by an annoying twat

No he doesn't on song like TSMGO and WWTLF. He's not making fun of anything btw he's just having fun with performing certain songs and judging from the response no one thinks he's taking the piss or being disrespectful.

Maybe he listened to himself properly - who can blame him then?

I'm surprised they kept IWBTLY.

Was that a hit in New Zealand? I know they are afraid to play songs that the GA don't know.

Tons of people have been asking Brian on instagram if they'll play it outside of Japan and he eventually replied saying they'd been talking about doing it in Europe maybe. They were surprised it was done in NZ but there's loads saying please leave it in for the tour so it might just survive, I don't think he realized how popular it is other places.

Are these Ausralian/New Zealand stadium dates still far from filling up?

Can they section off parts of the stadium so it's not glaringly empty-looking?

Tomorrow's date is sold out, by the way.
Yesterday's was nearly, sold out. This tweet is from the managing director of the Sky stadium:

Shane Harmon (@ShaneHarmon) Tweeted:
Last night was immense. So proud of our @skystadium team & support staff who delivered a truly great event for 34,000 happy @QueenWillRock & @adamlambert fans. Amazing show, the first of the NZ/AU #RhapsodyTour. Thank you @TEGDAINTY for bringing this to @Wellington_NZ. https://t.co/NnJ2tERpKi https://twitter.com/ShaneHarmon/status/1225155680702615552?s=20

It's the most ambitious and successful tour for Queen in NZ.

You've had the same view and asked the same question of every leg of this tour.

None of the videos from any of the shows so far have looked like half empty venues.

Why don't you go to the ticket master site, or the actual venue box office sites ( where available) and research this properly. Each time you ask this same question someone does exactly that to provide you with the answers you either can't be bothered looking for yourself or maybe don't won't to hear or believe.

Simply put the entire tour is playing to sold out or at the very least 90percent capacity.
