"Anyone wearing a condom right now ? It's a fashion you know "

I was probably the only one shouting YES!

the crowd not reacting...?
Amazing, where I was standing, right at the end of the catwalk the crowd went crazy and I looked at the people in their seats and they reacted great too.
I've never heard a crowd so alive after the band had left the stage for the first time, it was like the place would be torn down because of the shouting, whistling and stamping going on!

This crowd was alive in my view!

I have to agree with some people here. The audience was a bit silent. Don't know why. Even where I stood (about 3 m. from the stage) some people were a bit lame. I started shouting and jumping a few times, but all I got was strange faces. Nobody joined. Strange. But, that doesn't mean I had the time of my life. I've been to the Paris gig, but this one was much better. And... deep respect for Paul Rodgers.

I had the chance to shoot some pictures too. Quality isn't that great (read: some pics are crap), but maybe you'll enjoy them anyway. Visit my site to see them: http://www.miesmiek.nl/queen

See you all in Arnhem! I'll be the tall guy in front of the stage ;-)

Michel.

PS: Hi to the guys I met in queue (quilting rules!) and during the concert (thanks for buying the beer!)

I have some crappy pictures from the lower seatings on the left side, but a lot of the (soundless :'( ) movies are great because you can see the lightshow :P

41.7 MB Unzipped, 15 .MOV movie files (no sound) and 89 (not the best quality :P) pictures.
You can download it here: http://s47.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=36SITW8OJMP1R0IAZMUHEAGQR3

On behalf of users who really want these pictures, please don't download them if you don't really looking for it... Not even if you just want to tease those folks :P

Btw: on the pictures at the outside of Ahoy you can see the_hero :D

rien, i agree, when the and went off the crowd went crazy. and afterwards, when they came back on the crowd was still pretty good, but before that...nothing. maybe, people really did just want to listen, or something. i was standing next to the catwalk in the middle by the way so not very far away from you. the people in the rings were dead, it seemed to me.

Well I was at the top of the first ring, and I was deaf at the end of the evening due to all the screaming and shouting from the people next, in front, behind, (everywhere) of us. So mayb it's possible that you guys down there couldn't hear the rings... I couldn't hear the opposite ring either :P

I sat on the tribune opposite to the podium. The most were silent although there were a few people who were not (like me)

In the beginning I saw the wave going on, it was great!

I succeeded in carrying a videocamera with me.. but after more than an hour of filming the security spotted me and took the tapes and the camera... DAMN!!! After the concert they gave me the camera back... without the tape of course..

During and after the concert i never thought i was looking to Queen...

I'm a little disappointed... The music was ok... but in a certain way, it isn't the music that stole my heart. Just once during the whole concert i feld a little magic.. Brian was playing the Bohemian Rapsody solo.. backed up by Freddie on the videoscreen. I'm not a fan of the music they played.

Maybe we go to Arnhem to look and judge again..

Well I don't know about you, but I would have a hard time enjoying a show while trying to covertly capture it on video. And I would be a wee bit distracted getting caught and watching my camera being taken away and souring my mood.

But that's just me.

watching it back afterwards gives a great feel... i guess.

So, how about the pic Basje made of Paul Rodgers wearing the pink cap?

I just read Brian's soapbox and he confirms what I already thought: The audience rocked!!!!
The band did as well. I knew what to expect from Brian and Roger (allthough I wasn't sure if they could reach that level, which they absolutely did!) but I was pleasantly surprised by Paul's performance. What a singer he is! And what a good choice by Brian and Roger.! I won't be forgetting this concert soon and can't wait till Arnhem.

These are fantastic pictures, Freddie. Could you please upload some to the QZ picture gallery? Also some of the great Dortmund pictures you posted on queenfcg.

At the moment the picture upload does not seem to work but you can upload them through the old page
