Well, how was it?

I think, for my money, the funniest part of the night was when Brian introduced Roger for " Say it's not True" and as they walked past each other Brian held out his had for Roger to slap, with Brian pulling it back at the last second and running it through his hair. It could only be seen if you were sitting on Brian's side of the stage towards the back of the stage. HILARIOUS!

And he claims you shouldn't expect comedy from him! A CLASSIC sight gag, and I MISSED IT!

Did any guerilla videographers get it, I wonder?

There isn't. That's why no-one has commented on one. The band plays right around two hours.

Thought so - can't wait to see the show!!!

Hey, My Saloon

The reason why Brian pulled is hand back was when Roger was walking back he shook hands with someone who put condoms in his hand. Roger was showing it to Brian. Brian though a handshake was coming. Brian saw it at the last second and pulled his hand away. I was cracking up. Anyone who was there email me at mercury00@aol.com. I was in the 3rd row left side. Was also on the backstage tour.

I was at the show and would love to see pics. Thanks.

I will say I went to the show not expecting much. Hated the thought of trekking from LI to NJ. Only went because my wife never saw them and it was a treat for her. But I was really, really, really impressed with the show (as was she). Saw them in 75 (Avery Fisher Hall) and 76 (Beacon Theater, 1st row!!!!)in NYC and those memories are still with me. I just wish they'd do some older stuff for us old timers. Brian's guitar solo had a lot of Brighton Rock in it that brought back memories. Highly recommend anyone, who is even a remote fan, take this show in if they can. I will disagree on the sellout though. It looked full with everyone standing (we stood all night except for acoutic set) but I can't see how. People couldn't give these tickets away on E-bay. Got my floor tickets for less than 1/2 of face value from some broker in California.

Just got back to Florida. In a word WOW.
Saw queen several times in my youth when I lived in England and had reservations about this. But the guys were great as was the audience. My 13 year old grandsone was blown away at this, his very first rock concert.

what is the facination with people saying it wasnt a sellout?IT WAS!

I also brought my 14 year old son to the concert and he loved it as well. It's amazing how Queen and their music can touch and be appreciated by all ages of people. [/QUOTE]


I'm 51 and of course I was familiar with Queen in the 80's but my son (age 17) became a HUGE Queen fan about 4 years ago and now my daughter (age 14)is one too. I decided to get tickets for them as a birthday present. They had GREAT seats, about 12 rows from the stage. My husband and I were a few sections behind them on the floor. We were ALL singing and shouting all night long! It was great, since I knew all the songs (hearing them played over and over at home!). I only wish now that I had been a fan when Freddie was alive... he must have been awesome to see in person. The band did a beautiful job last night and I appreciate Paul Rodgers stepping in so that this ocncert could be possible. Certainly, no one can replace Freddie. "These Are The Days of Our Lives" was a touching tribute that brought a tear to my eye. We're all getting older but THE SHOW MUST GO ON!!

I guess about 5-10% of the people that bought tickets didn't turn up then..;-)
