Sheffield BE AWARE !!

Sounds great to me...excellent! A stupendous live experience!! Perhaps you can hear me screaming in the nosebleed seats in sheffield ;-) Having seen all the UK shows-I'll admit that sheffield was not the best show of the lot-for me Cardiff, Belfast and Manchester in their own ways were better..as far live shows go in the big scheme of things the Sheffield DVD will be a hit. I can't wait until the release date!!

It does sound cool.
I immediately notice the fact that TYMD is played
faster than it was played at the two shows I went to: Arnhem and Antwerpen. So I do believe they really did give something extra during this show.

Call me weird- I think it sounds fantastic... It WASN'T the best performance, but that's the one they bloody videod- so hat do yo uwant them to do? release fan recording from Firenze...?

I believe Hyde Park would make much better release- still, performance in Sheffield wasn't THAT bad- the audience kind of was at times, but the performance... I saw worse as well...

I went to Sheffield, and I have to say, OK Im not a musician, but I do love Queen, the concert blew me away. I am willing to accept that it may not have been the best concert, I wouldnt know because it was the only one I could afford to go to, I would reserve judgement on the cd/dvd until I get it, but I do think that some (only a few) people had sour grapes because Sheffield was filmed, got under pressure aswell as the set list, and Freddies Mum there, we were very lucky thats all, and I might add, that we also had to put up with the lights being on all the time for the filming, but who cares, we saw the guys, had them entertaining us, and had a bloody fantastic time.

Sheffield was set as the DVD Show from the start of the Tour; this was revealed at Brixton. No doubt Freddie's mum was invited because of this.

I still think the performance at Sheffield was good- check out the Bootlegs- but the Crowd is awfully flat.

The best indoor shows were Budapest and Prague; I think its a shame the former wasn't released- though saying that, Sheffield has a better setlist.

okay .. Paul's voice wasn't at its best at Sheffield .. but the band as a whole was in top form that evening! For what I've heard from other recordings and what I've heard live at Arnhem.. Sheffield was one of the best shows of the Tour. Especially Brian gave his best and made, for what I've heard so far, almost not a single little mistake. Roger was also very good! The audience was godd, although not as good as Ahoy and The Dome ;) .. I think we can be very happy that they choose to record Sheffield, and that some stuff of Hyde Park will be released at the Bonus Disc

For what I've heard, the whole TYMD, FBG and WATC and parts of WWRY, Show and Allright, Sheffield was one of their best so far, together with Hyde Park and Collogne.
Maybe Paul's voice wasn't at its best .. but the same counts for Freddie's voice during Wembley ;)

Paul's voice was in Sheffield better tahn in Manchester or Birmingham- he also sang more songs! I thought that his performance was actually pretty good in Sheffield... The only thing I didn't like- and I said it sooo amny times- was the audience. It's going to look amazing during WATC or ga-Ga, but not so fantastic during "Love My Car" or "Feel Like Mkain' Love"...

they should have filmed Rotterdam ... that was so fucking awesome

Agree here- execpt for my friend and I dancing and screeming in 202 having a good time!! Perhaps the cameras and mics caught that !! ;-)

yeah man ive heard segments from the promo CD on www.mercuryparadise.com

sounds awesome to me! i want the full recording! :D awww go on go on go go :-P

Kev x

in the video of the 4 italian gigs the audience would have been like a stadium crowd for the band i tell you! ;)

btw...it's clear montreux is just spamming

It was clear, that most of you will say the opposite.

I really admire Brian & Roger for their stuff & they did some great shows (for example in Budapest, Frankfurt, Vienna,...) on the current tour, but if i buy a Queen product i want it 100% perfect.
Yes, i´m a musican. Okay, go on and make your jokes about it.
I don´t want to make "Queen" bad, but the happened mistakes disturb me.
Like as any other fan, i looked forward to the new stuff, but was disappointed.

To say, that Paul is allowed to make singing mistakes, because Freddie´s voice wasn´t the best at Wembley, doesn´t count, because for me Freddie was still able to make it special & something good out of his mistakes.
If Paul makes mistakes, he isn´t able to make something out of it, just like pushing something against you.
Just because the guy on the guitar is called Brian May, doesn´t mean he is the best. Okay, he was my inspiration to play guitar, but years going on, he surprises me badly from tim to time.

Moreover do you really think the cover of the new CD is for real ? "RETURN OF THE CHAMPIONS" ? There are only two guys left, they name themselves Queen, but aren´t. It would be more than enough to call it just "QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS Live"

I guess all comes down to different tastes.

I guess now I understand your point. But I don't agree at all ;)

Cheers,

Ogre-

montreaux- you're weird. Paul Rodgers is more talented than five Mercurys put together! I LOVE THIS TOUR!!! And I will be queuing for the DVD all night to be the first one to get it!!!

i think they should of waited till they finished the tour first, then listened to each concert and decided which sounded better, cos i agree sheffield sounds great, but there were better concerts, personally i think newcastle but i mean hyde park rocked, i wasnt there but from what iv seen on the dvd it was the best show iv seen/heard so far.
