Do you think Queen + PR will have an other setlist for the gigs in July?

No.
Why bother to play anything original, when there are plenty of people to buy the tickets anyway? It's not like they're doing the tour for artistic reasons anyway...

I'm afraid- no...
Not many changes so far- why would they do it than...?

Certain songs do lend themselves better to a larger, open air type setting. Songs such as One Vision, Another One Bites the Dust and Now I'm Here will work better in that environment than such songs as '39, Say It's Not True and Last Horizon, which work better in a more intimate setting. Whether they will alter the setlist remains to be seen.
I reaaaaaaaaaaly hope so .. seriously!
I don't think the setlist how it isright now, is first of all a really good one, but second this setlist doesn't work very well in bigger venues like is said before.
I really hope they add Now I'm Here and Headlong .. drop Reachin Out and change the setlist in a more logical order..
but I'm affraid they won't ..

Good point, Hankster, Headlong would work exceptionally well in a larger setting. But would the casual fan recognize it? Actually, who cares? We diehards want Headlong!
I think they could easily get away with playing "unknowns" as long as they were such good songs, that people who had never heard them go
Yeah that one song kicked ass!
In my mind Queen has a ton of those
And so does PR
White Man or It's Late for example
For PR, Live For The Music or Rock Steady

I think there's a chance since they have a month off (Tromso) and then another month so I say there's plenty time to some rehearse 'new' songs...
...
14-May-05 The Point, Dublin Ireland
11-Jun-05 Fyllingen, Tromso Norway
02-Jul-05 Estadio Restelo, Lisbon Portugal
...
I'm affraid they ain't going to rehearse in that month .. I think they'll take 2 weeks of rest and the last 2 weeks they'll start to play some of the bigger songs of the tour like TYMD and FBG and do the soundcheck songs One Vision and AOBTD just to tie the band more together ....but who know.
I HOPE they will rehearse songs like Headlong and One Vision for reall .. but looking at the tour so far, I get to thinking that the boys don't want to be too risky and just try to play it safe. Just look at the abscence of songs like Innuendo, Headlong, A Beautiful Day and Breakthru..
nah .. this tour doesn't show the courage like they did in the 'Freddie-days'..

drop Reachin Out
Why the hell ppl want them to drop the WHOLE 30 SECONDS of it? Not that they gonna play anything instead- it's only a snippet anyway, so what's the problem? They can cut the stage banter- takes pretty much the same time...

Oh yes- they were very adventurous on MAGIC TOUR...
*roll his eyes*

why is everyone always complaining about the Magic-setlist? I think it was the best setlist they ever had;
- the song-order was very good choosen.. One of the best intro-parts Queen ever did (OV, TYMD, Lap of the Gods, Tear It UP) .. and the build-up to Bo.Rap was wonderfull and the encore with WWRY, Friends, WATC was very original
- 4 Queen songs weren't played live before, and plus the 4 covers they played 8 new songs
- The combination of new (MAgic, Vision) and old (Lap of the Gods, Seven Seas) worked very well! better than at the Works Tour for example
Okay .. they played many hits during Magic. But thanks to the Works and Magic they scored many hits in a couple of years, so they had to be played .. you can't blame them for that (only the ppl who bought the singles and made those songs hits :P ).. it's just common sense..
*rolls his eyes*
ow, and Fenderek, .. those 30 seconds are the START of the concert .. one of the most critial moments of the concert.. and I just don't see the point of starting with such a slow song like Reachin Out..
The intro-song has to be rocking, kicking and loud.. VERY loud :D
Beginning with Reaching Out + TYMD is totally Brian's. Listen to the begining of "Back To The Light" record and "Another World" record and tour. Same thing. Even Reaching Out lyrics make perfect sense for such a start.
it's something Brian would agree with ye .. but Back To The Light is still a rocking song compaired to Reachin Out :P
And besides .. it's Brian descission what to do at his Solo Tour, but this ISN'T a solo tour, this is a Queen Tour. I find it really cool that they call themselves Queen, but then they've to do a setlist that's Queen worthy. Bri&Rog are telling all the time that they think that Freddie would love to see them moving on, and I think they're right .. but I really doubt that Freddie would've agreed to do this opening; Freddie loved a big entrance like WWRY fast .. Flash .. One Vision .. Reachin Out is so NOT Queen-style

I dunno- I thought about Reaching Out almost as an intro to TYMD- thta's the opening, that's when the curtain goes down. And IMO- it works bloody well. What I DO have an issue with is the f***king Eminem. Now that's a thing they should drop!
About MAGIC TOUR- I meant taht a setlist was exactly as stale as it is now. No changes whatsoever. And it wasn't that adventurous, was it... Not everything thay play now are Greatest hits as well, is it... 39, I'm In Love With My Car, Fat Bottomed Girls- they weren't playing them neither during Magic nor WORKS tour. I agree though that more logic in sequence would be welcome- it's NOT a perfect one...
