It is a great comeback...just sad that we got screwed in having only 4 songs...why didn't they at least tell us this before....Since that is their first show together they are going to be fantastic...hear how cool Tie Your Mother Down was....Paul has a fantastic voice and stage presence...he'll get all the lyrics right in time too (Freddie made slip ups as well as does every performer) I'm so happy they are playing live again and Rockin!! This must be so great for them....Does anyone have a source on how to get the rest of the concert??? any friends in South Africa??

It was a OK performance to be the first. PR just can´t learn 20 new songs on a few weeks, so you can´t really blame him that much. And don´t forget that TYMD was really good!!!!!!!

I thought the performance was good, and I can't wait to hear more from them. Tie Your Mother Down sounded great.

Paul had more time to learn - not few weeks, but few months! They were preparing for it for a long time. Brian said it on Capital Gold interview recently.

k-m, you're an asshole.WHAT'S THE FUCK, DID YOU READ THE LATE 35000000 ABOUT THE SHOW???
The nervousism CAN HAPPEN AS WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Freddie WROTE the songs and the lyrics were part of him, that's why he forgot the lyrics a few time!!!!
HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT TYMD AND TMLWKY WERE NOT GREAT????
Maybe yesterday i've heard the best versions of these songs in the last 7/8 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Jericho, I noticed your Sugaree signature.

I saw something like a hundred Dead shows.
So Paul forgetting lyrics doesn't phase me at all.
I watched Jerry forget lyrics for ten years. LOL

i thought it was good, not fantastic, but i enjoyed it, the sound of the band was great. PR was good, so he fucked up a bit let him get it out of his system now! they need to be a bit tighter in the chorus bits like in TYMD when all three are singing, but apart from that...Good.

lookin forward to the proper tour.

For what I heard, TYMD, I thought it was pretty darn good. Keep in mind that this was not a proper gig-another one of those "one offs". It was an open air show as well-a little different to manage as well. We all listened to a butchered edit of 4 songs-

Give them and Paul a chance! And oh- I seem to recall a one very nervous Brian May- forgetting lyrics or botching lyrics on his 1993 appearance on the tonight show in the USA. I also recall roger not rememebering lryics here and there or "changing" them on the electric fire tour on several nights. LIVE music is just that-Live. Things will happen..Roger, Brian and Paul are seasoned professionals and will rock the house every night of the tour!

i don t think it is a sad comeback, we only have 4 songs out of 10 to judge them and i can tell i am quite happy. First gig , first time, so?
Give them the time.

Not "maybe" but "surely" - TYMD and TMLWKY haven't been played quite often by the so-called Queen in the last 7/8 years, don't you think? More self-confidence akan!

You guys are all forgeting the most important factor of this tour: ITS THE RETURN OF THE MIGHTY QUEEN!! As loyal Queen fans, we should be rejoicing their return, not nitpicking at small things that could go wrong. And besides, Paul Rogers is a great singer. He ain't Freddie, but that's good! We don't want to pay good money to see a Queen cover band with Rogers dressed in a tight leotard. We want all the classics, but with a new spin on them! Who's with me?

Exactly, spontaneity is half the fun!
Let's enjoy this while we can!
