It is probably an older crowd. Are you sure you want that? Besides it is bad for the lawn with all that extra flesh dragging on the ground.
i went back and no link at billboard.was flashed then was gone when i went to get link.sorry.will continue to check back
85000 it was and at about £40 - £50 a pop - oooh that'll be 3.4 million quid please...........................................................it was a worthwhile experience
Considering I am only 17 and therefore not old enough to have seen them with Freddie, I thought the gig was excellent. I was right at the front of the GC with four of my friends, all of whom love Queen and just wanted a chance to see them play live. Brian is an amazing guitarist and to see him play so close was breath-taking. Roger did extremely well too and the audience obviously loved him- lots of chants of "There's only one Roger Taylor" seemed to occur.
Peter Kay was fantastic, but then again I am a huge fan of his. Razorlight were nothing special, but I have seen far worse support bands. The lead singer was imitating Mick Jagger? I was thinking more Bob Geldof, personally... again, he was nothing like him, he just seemed to be trying to impersonate him a bit.
Hammer to Fall- fantastic. Slow version cutting straight to the fast. Brian's singing was, in my opinion, fantastic, as was Roger's. Paul Rodgers was very very good, and although I'm not a huge fan, I thought he coped extrememly well. Brian's version of "Love of my Life"- for Freddie- was beautiful.
At one point me and one of my friends appeared on the big screens, a real close up, during "Love of My Life"- it was incredibly scary to turn and see my ugly mug on the screens!
A few things that irked me slightly but did not ruin the day- the intro was way too long, and spoiled by Eminems "Lose Yourself" being played- am I just thick, or is that just the most random thing ever? There were four Germans near us who had obviously seen them about 10 times before and knew what was coming and would shout out the next songs to be sung, spoiling it for everyone around us. And the heat was a little too much for me, and the fact that we had to wait an hour longer for the gates to open than we should have done just frustrated me slightly, especially as we had already been waiting six hours (sad, I know, and I shouldn't complain as in my opinion they were fantastic.)
The audience (especially around me) loved Radio Ga Ga, I want it all, I'm in Love With My Car, We Will Rock You, I Want to Break Free, and of course, Bohemian Rhapsody among many others.
All in all- great day out, would definitely do it again.

thanks for all your comments so far! You had a great time.
Just got back from London(long weekend),Queen and Paul were fantastic.Got some great pics and bits of concert on video too.Fourth gig this year and thought it was the best.I was in gold circle and the crowd looked absolutely huge to me.Thought it could of been an anti climax but could not believe size of crowd when i got in there.
THE BEST QUEEN concert which I saw. (I saw 4 concerts from this tour). I read there were over 80.000 fans! And I was in the 2nd row!!!! I waited for there from 9 a.m.
GREATEST SHOW IN MY LIFE!!!!!

that was the one!
after having seen 8 concerts now i must say that hyde park was the best show of them all.
a great historic place,great weather,beautiful sunset and a big,friendly crowed.
the band really seamed to know what they are doing and they love it.nearly no mistakes and a perfect version of loml!brian was very moved after thet,and then came imagine.....
hope there will be a proper release one day but i doubt.wait for the bootleg.

I have been to 3 gigs on this tour; Brixton, Wembley Pavilion and Hyde Park.
This was the best concert of the three and reminded me how Queen used to play live.
The reason for this was that Brixton being the first date of the tour was a hit and miss due to the fact that
1) Spike, Danny and Jamie seemed to be in another band they were so far away from Roger Brian and Paul.
2) Paul seemed to lack confidence in singing the Queen songs.
3) The crowd did not seem up for it as there was no pogoing, jumping around like crazy or generally going mad. The reason for this could have been the surprise of Queen going on the road again.
Wembley Pavilion was a great show and reminded me of the Queen era, but being in the 3rd block was totally crap as you could not see the band they were so far away.
Hyde Park – What a great experience.
Peter Kaye was great as a compare, I had not seen him live so the script was new to me.
Razorlight were a great support band, and got the crowd warmed up nicely.
Peter Kaye coming on as his wheelchair persona was really funny.
We were in the GC, standing to the right of the stage next to the end of the catwalk (if you are reading this - apologies to the French guy whose shoulders I was using to balance myself to TYMD, and apologies to the girl behind me whose bag I trod on during Bo Rap) and being that close when they came down to walk was amazing.
I think Paul has grown into the songs now and can play the crowd, even during Queen songs. There were many highlights for me but the most vivid are:-
Roger Taylor coming down the catwalk and announcing “business as usual”
TYMD – but I have always liked this song anyway.
‘39
LOML – I think Brain was tremendously moved by the crowds singing and it took a few seconds for him to compose himself.
Imagine – this song epitomised the feelings of the band and crowd.
TWTDOOL – Still brilliant, especially with the video of the band in Japan.
RGG – As normal the whole crowd clapping in unison.
AKOM – I though the light show was brilliant on this song, with all 10 stanchions changing colours and moving around the stage.
WATC – The video monitor showing all the services that helped after the bombing.
I could go on and on ......
I can only hope they decide to do more outside dates, even if it is next year. The only trouble I can see with this is what would they play as I would prefer a different song list. This is not because I think the songs played could necessarily be bettered (in fact I think the selection and order was inspired) but there has to be different material to create a difference.

Oh yes.. that rig did rock... I think I noticed that movement first during Hammer To Fall when hard version kicks in... I could see people around me being thrilled by it (myself included)... the it moved made stage components looking totally live... and then during AKOM was great (and toward the end too as darkness was falling). Perhaps small thing to do, but very powerful anyway.
Are you all saying that this comedian made fun of people in wheel chairs? What the hell? Otherwise the reasoning I and I think other people want the setlist changed AND so much is because one they have so many hits to cover but they also have so many songs that have never or rarely ever been performed live so I ask why are they blowing this tour doing the same thing all the time? I thought that really good musicians were able to mix it up a bit?
I unfortunately got royally pissed and am having difficulty remembering details of the gig. I know I enjoyed it immensely, but am waiting for an audio or video download to surface in order to refresh my memory somewhat.
Sorry I didn't make it to the Talbot. I had to meet up with a London mate, and he was typically delayed. I forgot to check exactly where the Talbot was, and when we made it to Hyde Park at about 3:30 we asked someone where the Talbot was, and they directed us to a pub which turned out to be the Tyburn. Alas, and obviously, there were no Queenzoners there (to my knowledge), and instead me and my friend were accosted by a mad Paul Rodgers fan who insisted she was a demon at Bullseye on the quiz machine, but in reality was an ageing hippy with a penchant for pressing her ample bosom into my neck.
We entered the throng midway through Razorlight's set, with ridiculous ease, getting right to the edge of the catwalk (left hand side) and about 12 people back. There was absolutely no need to queue early or anything like that. I've never been to a gig where it was so easy to get so close.
But due to copious amounts of cider followed by vodka, I am unable to objectively critique the performance, which I actually think is a good thing.
Ultimately, I had a fantastic night. Despite my massive love for Queen, I'm sure that had I remained sober I would have spent the entire night stroking my chin at the cheesiness of Bri, Rog and Paul, overanalysing everything they did, confirming my doubts of the whole venture.
But thanks to my good friend alcohol I was able to sink below such higher-minded activities and sing and clap along like a goon to songs such as Ga Ga, Magic and Break Free, and revel in every minute of it.
Highlight of the night was the intro to TYMD where Bri sprinted mere feet past me and my mate along to the end of the catwalk. We absolutely pissed ourselves for about 2 minutes flat, because it was for some reason incredibly, incredibly funny.

Yeah... but how many people were there?

This is photo I have taken of one big screen showing part of the crowd. While exact number remains unknown currently (probably 45-65000) it was nicely filled.
