It was a great concert, but it wasn´t that important for me as this wasn´t the FIRST (which was Leipzig). Paul did much better, but still people sung instead of him. There was a man standing next to me and he was curious what Say It´s Not True was (if it was Queen) and then he asked me if the band was playing ´39, and when I said the band was, he got so excited!!! He told me it was his most loved song!
Really, ´39 is a good idea. I understand they play greatest hits, because there are so many Queen lovers to such concert, who love the hits. And there are maybe about 200 completely dedicated fans (out of those 12 000 in Festhalle) - so it´s some kinda obvious concert cannot be only for them. We dedicated fans should be proud that after so many years Queen still can gain so many people who adore their music. And it´s a big plus for the band and Brian and Roger should be really proud of that.
Brian fans and Roger fans (like me) would always want something more, but I always see it that way: that tour for me was the only opportunity to see Roger (Brian did come solo to where I live) and I am so grateful I had that opportunity. And that he sung I´m In Love With My Car was like a dream of my life... because I love the song. And that I could hear Say It´s Not True was also great, as I adore the song, and Roger in two more songs, I really cannot yearn for more :)

Frankfurt was the best show for me after Brixton and Munich, the Festhalle was packed and the atmosphere was great. The whole band is much more relaxed now and a better unit. Again Paul Rodgers was good but nobody seemed to miss him when he was not there.
Roger made us laugh with his : "you all should wear a condome, I am wearing one right now". It's an old joke but it was like a reply to the "shouldn't they all wear red ribbons " thread here on Queenzone. Brian was furious when he messed up the BoRhap solo, he stormed off the stage in rage. Maybe something was wrong with his guitar but I think he just lost concentration for a moment - it can happen.
The reviews I saw of Frankfurt were all very positive so far, this show was praised as a rebirth of the Queen spirit. I am surprised how many newspaper writers here are Queen experts, they know what they are talking about and the reviews are all very substantial.

his guitar string broke!thats what made him so angry.lukily that happened only once in frankfurt,in leipzig this happened about 6! times.i wonder if this happened to him in that often in the early days.
Okay, we could not see this - we just saw him shouting and leaving the stage.
