I download some pics from the concert from http://www.n-tv.de/519470.html
1 think I noticed: roger replaced the print on his bassdrum for a better one! instead of a white background with Queen written in black on it, it's now black with new phoenix logo with Queen printed through it!
ALSO: I downloaded already yesterday, only 1 day after the gig, the complete show in exellent quality!!

"In Munich they rehearsed only very briefly and they still played Another One Bites The Dust on the soundcheck! So don't tell me they don't remember old songs or that they don't have time to rehearse them. "

Brian and Roger played it in Queen
Spike played it in Amsterdam and i think also with his band
Jamie also played it in amsterdam and I think he's also in spikes band.
Danny plays in the musical so he also knows how to play it.
No need to rehearse, maybe they were just fooling around and played it during the soundcheck, that doesn't mean they have to play it in concerts.
Queen also played Immigrant Song most times during soundchecks in the early days. But they also didn't play it

As I haven't been online for the last few days, I write now some impressions about last week. Within four days I saw Queen three times. Basel/Vienna/Munich. Vienna was IMO the best show. Brian's Blue Danube-rendition was really a nice surprise, as this song is Austria's inofficial anthem. I didn't now they would play the full version of I Want It All, as in Basel after verse two the amps had gone. Paul and Roger tried to keep the song going and when the amps went on again, they quickly played the final accords to bring the number to its end. In Vienna I was really impressed by this song - which I don't like that much - it's a real rocker and certainly one of the highlights.
After three concerts I must say: Paul is absolutely great. To all sceptics out there who haven't seen him yet: Paul delivers the songs with much power and emotions. His bluesy interpretations are consistently worth listening and he has as singer nothing to do with Freddie - he doesn't dress, move, sing, like Freddie and he knows very well that this is a Queen-show. He is a great supporter and doesn't pretend to be the centre part of the evening. Moreover he's very charismatic and likeable.
The setlist: Bear in mind that 95 percent of the audience are people who like Queen-music or who are just interested in seeing a Queen-show maybe for the first time. These people are into the Greatest Hits-catalogue at best, but not more. It would be false and probably fatal for Queen to play songs like White Man or The Hitman, cause nobody knows these songs. When Brian plays Last Horizon, there's barely any reaction althought it's a nice surprise for us fans to play a song from Brian's solo-catalogue. Compare it with Live At Wembley: When they start In The Lap Of The Gods, the reactions are quite decent, whereas when Freddie intonates A Kind Of Magic, there's a big roar. So they have to play mainly the big hits, cause in this dimensions with attendances of 10000 and more, this cannot be a fan-event. And moreover: No one would have expected to see Queen live again on stage. Now some "fans" complain inter alia about the setlist. That's not only ungratful, it's somehow unfair.
Finally some Munich-details for all you freaks out there:
- Roger changed his bass-drum-skin
- Roger lost during his drum-solo one stick (!!) - I saw it very clearly - but he managed to grab it quickly, so you could not hear the slightest mistake
- Brian seems to have problems with Love Of My Life. In Basel, Vienna and Munich he made the same mistake during the instrumental part. Exceptional for Dr. Brian ...
- During Bohemian Rhapsody (rock part) Paul was for one second out of text - a quick look at the monitor and he continued with great routine
- During Bohemian Rhapsody the Freddie-video was totally out of sync. Freddie's voice was ok, but the picture was for maybe 1,5 seconds delayed.
- Brian threw a drum-stick in the middle of the show in the audience, so did Roger at the end of the show (during God Save The Queen they came for the first time all back on the catwalk to take their bows) - Both times the stick flew maybe a half metre beside me and I didn't manage to grab one. grrrrrrrrrr
I feel very thankful to see this resurrection. All of you who can't wait anymore to see them: Look foward to it!
One more: Budapest!
Thanks and cheers!
