There's a difference between Plant and Freddie, Freddie could have done a better version than that one but he didn't... dunno why. Plant at that time (1992) couldn't. Plant WAS a great singer, not anymore.
Well, neither Roger nor Freddie had the technical capacity to do the intro, I'm afraid. If Freddie had done it, he'd not have any vocal cords left for the rest of the show!
I do feel that the song'd have been better if he had bothered to learn the words!
Guys... Innuendo was released as a single in January 1991. Freddie wasn't able anymore to do a live show at that time.
i mean the last japan for example
in 85´
stage looks great, freddie at that particular concert sounded good, but that weird drums
what is that?
they sounded like shit
and piano on tie your mother down
i mean wtf
and brian is hardly heard, his gituar is kind of silent
i mean, there were some bad decisions made od that tour
shame, because of great setlist
I agree with the fact that there wasn't enough old material on the set list, i would have really loved it if they put in songs like somebody to love and spread your wings etc.
But they included In the Lap of The Gods, which is one of my favourite songs, so i guess everythings ok lol
I only really know the setlist they had for Wembley, so i couldn't really comment on the whole tour, as i know they varied some parts of the setlist slightly for different shows.
I don't know what you lot are moaning about there being lots of songs from AKOM. After all this WAS the magic tour and not the night at the opera or the crazy tour so of course they played songs from that album!
What’s the point on going on tour playing mostly old songs?

What are you talking about? We're comparing Freddie's screw-up on 'Immigrant Song' in Berlin '86 and Plant's screw-up on 'Innuendo' at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in '92.
Sorry, didn't read the posts good enough... missed the point of the 'Immigrant Song'.
correct me if im wrong, but immigrant song a spur of the moment kind of thing and that Inuuendo was rehersed?
So thats like me trying out a new sport compared to some one who had time to get ready...

I agree- same goes for Gimme All Your Lovin'- Freddie wasn't even singing the right lyrics- I almost feel he was singing something else :) But as something just for fun, spontanously- that's all right... Immigrant Sond really sucked but... at least we've got an interesting bootleg. :) They should have do things like that more often :)
These funny attempts are too far and between in Queen's touring career (Not Fade Away, Silent Night...) Look at U2 : they quote about a dozen songs at every show ! But then maybe that's a tad too many...
Do you have any idea why they never embraced rolling setlits ? You know the time Freddie played a few chords of Spread Your Wings in 82, he didn't remember the song at all...I assume they only rehearsed the songs they were certain to play during the whole tour, no more, no less...Whereas a guy like Bowie can rehearse 50 songs before he goes on tour !

Good observations. I must say, I'm disappointed by the way Queen would rarely meander from the regular setlist.
Alex, I saw Robert Plant on the 4th of this month in Portsmouth, VA. Though granted, he totally sucked on "Innuendo" at the Freddie tribute, his vocals were absolutely intact and amazing earlier this month. I was particuarly impressed with his encore "Whole Lotta Love", which sounded absolutely precisely as it did when it was first recorded. He was absolutely amazing.
I saw that show in Philly in late June. I thought he was good. The show could have been longer; On & off after encores in under 90 minutes! But WLL got a great 13 minute workout! Thats The Way was spot on! My favorite accustic Zep song!

This is something I was always disappointed with, too - they never deviated and always played it safe. Maybe it was for the lighting engineer's benefit? Who knows.
Whereas Elvis Costello plays a different set list of different songs every night...

like the ones from The Works tour, you mean?
Aside from the inclusion of In The Lap Of The Gods...revisited, plus the 4 Magic songs, is there any real surprises in Queen material?
