Katy and Amidds I am really glad you have explored the fan club magazines. It will take ages to get through them all won't it lol .
Katy see I told you it would be a live cd from their recent tour.
I wouldn't buy it as if I want to listen to their music then I prefer original albums with Freddie but as I have monthly subscription to Apple I will probably download it. I must admit that I did enjoy the recent footage on queen's youtube of the recent tour. I was very impressed with Adan singing 'I was born to love you'. It has taken me a while to accept Adam and there are still certain songs that for me are just for Freddie; Radio Ga Ga, Who wants to live forever are two that are only Freddie for me. Most of all I am glad that Brian and Roger are able to perform still as they aren't getting any younger.
Amidds you are right , I and we are lucky to be alive and hopefully all healthy.
Hope you are all well and enjoying the weekend.
Katy I didn't manage to get into a restuarant as the 50% deal is so popular, everywhere was full to the brim. It was takeaway Pizza instead

oh yes forgot to say that I too am glad you have your stamps now. What a relief .
They are very nice aren't they :)

FD, I'm more of a dog person, but i understand how pets are definitely family! I had a chocolate (there's that word again!) lab for years and I still miss him. Glad your purchases arrived so quickly.
I think I will end up buying the CD/DVD. I'm at a stage in my life where I don't really need anything, so I can enjoy building my Queen collection. I've said this before but I want to make clear that I was anti AL at first. It had to be Freddie or nobody. But then I started to listen, watch YouTube, etc and I
changed my mind. Since I did not see the band when Freddie was alive, the next best thing for me was to see Roger, and especially Brian live. I like Adam's voice and I make every effort not to look for comparisons. When the opportunity arose to see them in concert in a nearby city, I could not resist. And as I've said before, it was one of the best concerts I've ever seen. Petal, I had the most trouble accepting Adam singing Who Wants To Live Forever. That is one of my top favorites and I often look at the video of the Wembley performance at night when I'm finishing up on the computer. That and Dragon Attack in Montreal. The power of Freddie's voice gives me chills. So when we went to the concert I told my friend the one thing I didn't want to hear Adam sing was WWTLF.............and he did. And it was wonderful. It will never compare to Freddie, but it was wonderful. Petal, I hope you do get to see the next summer. It is well worth every penny for the tickets.
Petal, are your restaurants operating at full capacity? Out door dining only?? I still haven't been to a restaurant and it's what I'm missing most.
As for the stamps, I'm going to put them up somewhere in my Freddie room. I'm surrounded by him!

Katy restaurants are operating on the basis of keeping 2 meter distance from other diners so def not at full capacity. There is outdoor dining when the weather is ok. We have taken the sensible route and booked to eat out this Monday. Even that was difficult as people are booking well in advance. This coming week is the final week of the discount so I imagine it will be even busier.
I have heard that Adam does a fantastic performance of WWTLF . I am sure that I will be bowled over if I do get to see them next June. Fingers crossed .
Freddie at Wembley singing WWTLF is my fav, the emotion is just spine tingling.
Last night on the Voice kids a young boy sang Radio Ga Ga. He was fantastic and was voted through to the final. I hope Freddie is watching and helping him :)

Hi all!! It looks like more great conversations are happening. I love it!! I just did a quick skim to catch up but do plan to go back and read thoroughly and take notes (haha) so I can respond more thoroughly.
Here is from my quick skim:
Petal nice to “meet” you. I echo the thank you’s!! Can’t wait to look at queen chat, so greasy to know we can view all those past fan club mags.
Katy!! I am so happy that your framed stamps are in tact and good to know how it was packaged. Woo hoo!!! Can’t wait to see your finished display of all your stuff.
Fredfie ( smiled seeing that Amidds used the endearing Fredfie) — thank you so much for your caring about my stamps. I will be checking with a few local framers soon to see if I can salvage them. In the meantime I ordered my brother the Brian May in concert tee got his birthday instead. He was excited. So now he will have two gifts. It is disappointing but am hoping it will look ok. :-))
Thanks again to each of you for caring!! :-))
And, am also thinking about you and Mitzy.
MHZ— I’m with Katy, I Also didn’t have that awareness to the Prophet song. That’s so cool!!
Sorry if I missed anything else skimming through.
More Very soon.

Fredfie- just saw the end of your message that you had all those symptoms and were not well. Sorry to hear that. I hope you are feeling better now.
Petal. Haha. It changed my “great” to greasy. We have some good running jokes about typos, There’s another one to add on. :—)))
JB, greasy to hear from you again! Lol, I wonder if we can adopt that into daily vernacular: I'm greasy!/ Have a greasy day!/ What a greasy song! Maybe remake some songs....Greasy Balls of Fire! Lol, took that one a little too far didn't I?
Petal, I don't usually watch TV but, I'm going to see if I can find that episode of the Voice online. I'm always so amazed at how talented kids can be and would love to hear that!
Short one for me today (I can hear your gratitude ;) - busy, busy day ahead! Have a great Sunday everyone!

I make plenty of typos lol .

Good to see you JB! I always say I'm going to take notes, but never do. I think I miss things all the time.
Petal, I'm glad you got reservations for dinner! Anything special? I haven't been out to a restaurant yet and don't plan to go any time soon. I might feel differently if I lived in Europe, but we are still at numbers that are too high for me to think about it. My state is holding its own, but my county is among the highest infection rate in the state. I am planning to get together with four friends tomorrow because it's the first day of school and we always to out to celebrate our retirement. We've been going out monthly for several years now, but I haven't seen them since before Christmas. We are toing to sit out on one friend's patio for as long as we can stand the heat early in the morning.

Amidds! You know I love the way you think and your clever greasy sentences!!
By the way, Guess what was on my Halls wrapper The other day. “The show must go on” how greasy is that. :-).

So, I did get a chance to look up The Voice/RadioGaGa show that Petal mentioned and thought I would post the link if anyone is interested. (hopefully I got the right one). Not only is this young child talented, watching the judges and audience sing along and do the traditional clapping w/the song really brought a smile to my face. Thanks again Petal, hope everyone enjoys! And, I hope I made this clickable.....

I'm also gonna post this one. It's the top 10 Queen covers from the Voice. Some are amazing and touch on songs we've recently discussed here. The rendition of I Want to Break Free was especially impressive to me.
