While I absolutely love your potential additions you have to expect more Bad Company songs for the US Tour...Rock N Roll Fantasy will be in there...Seagull will come back where you have Is This The World?...Bad Company will be in there. Maybe Rock Steady of Silver Blue & Gold/Running With The Pack too...You have to expect that with Paul's band being so popular over here.

I can certainly see It's Late, Headlong & Now I'm Here making appearances too. There should be some solid shake ups in the set if we're lucky.

I definitely expect more of Paul Rodgers' catalog in the set. Maybe two or three more songs. Considering Paul declined Brian & Roger's initial offer to have a full 50% of the set be made up of his material, I think Paul's been awfully gracious about the whole thing. So if they feel they need to do a few more of his songs, I won't mind too terribly. There probably will be more than a few people going to those shows who are going mostly to see Paul Rodgers.

I hope you're right to some extent because the set list needs to be shaken up. "Movin On" would be a great edition from PR's catalog. Unfortunately I just don't see it happening. With the big venues they're afraid to risk disappointing the casual fan and therefore will stick with the hits. I'd be happy if they just threw in a medley to please the real fans.

Sorry.. scratch "Movin On", I meant "Good Lovin' Gone Bad". Brian would sound GREAT playing the main riff.

I can't Roger singing Dragon Attack, he'd collapse trying to drum along & sing. It's Late, Now I'm Here would be great! I would love to see Silver Blue & Gold in the encores. Shooting Star would be a great addition as well. Actually I'd love to hear an oldies medley. Some Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, any other performers they grew up listening to. Sail Away Sweet Sister would be excellent!

Well, I was fortunate to see the original line-up a couple of times, but there are at least a few of my favorites that I never got to hear them play:
I really want to hear Ogre Battle, Stone Cold Crazy, and Brighton Rock. I got to hear them play the tail end of Brighton Rock once, but I want to hear the whole thing. That said, I think the probability of any of those getting played is around .0000000001. I think Paul Rodgers could do a good job with It's Late and Spread Your Wings, and those might have a slightly better chance of making it into the show. I really wish they would play Innuendo too.
Anyway, I don't think the set list will be tremendously different from this year's.

Ogre Battle & Stone Cold Crazy? Hmmmm, I would love to hear them played. However, I think we have a better chance of the Pope flying in on a hang-glider!!

He could come flying in while Flash is played. Just imagine.....

I'd prefer to see the Pope come flying in on en enormous inflatable set of cock & balls. Right over the head of Trip Khalif.

Being a huge Queen fan I understand what your saying, but they need to include a few more Bad Co. songs in the set to help put more people in the stands. If it means adding an extra 30 minutes to the set so be it. No one would complain I'm sure.

Maybe a Jimi Hendrix song or a medley? What about Sunshine of your love? You know Brian May loves Cream, Eric Clapton & Jimi Hendrix. And Paul made a tribute album to Hendrix.

nope need more just Brian and more just Roger and then u need more Brian, John and Roger singing togetherrr
oh and if u want Paul to sing so much than put in more of his songs and less Queen songs sung by him



and u said.....

No One But You (Only The Good Die Young) (Brian & Roger) or maybe Let Me Live sung by Paul, Brian & Roger
The Show Must Go On (Paul)
All Right Now (Paul)
We Will Rock You (Paul)
We Are The Champions (Paul)

for the encore i think? i think No one But You should be played last- it would leave a HUGE impretion on the crowd, especially if Paul doesnt sing at all during it.

Even in their hey-day this band never played shows longer than 2 1/4 hours.

You know what's missing from the current show are the medley(s), shortened versions of the songs segueyed together. Always loved the way Queen did that.
Also I always liked the improvs. In the "early" days there was always some improv "jamish" parts in the encore - jailhouse rock/saturday night's alright for fightin etc.

And pyrotechincs...lets not forget the pyros !

Well, i spent quite a couple of hours over the last few days on this one. I think it's very difficult to make some major changes, without completely dissapointing the people, who expect exactly the same QPR did throughout Europe & Japan. So i tried some moderate changes, mainly adding some Freddie and re-adding some Paul tunes:

01 - REACHING OUT (Paul)
02 - PRINCES OF THE UNIVERSE (Paul)
03 - FAT-BOTTOMED GIRLS (Paul)
04 - WISHING WELL (Paul)
05 - ANOTHE ONE BITES THE DUST (Paul)
06 - CRAZY THING CALLED LOVE (Paul)
07 - BAD COMPANY (Paul)
08 - SAY IT'S NOT TRUE (Roger)
09 - SEAGULL (Paul)
10 - LOVE OF MY LIFE (Brian)
11 - HAMMER TO FALL (Brian & Paul)
12 - FIRE AND WATER (Paul)
13 - DRUM SOLO
14 - I'M IN LOVE WITH MY CAR (Roger)
15 - GUITAR SOLO
16 - LAST HORIZON
17 - THESE ARE THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES (Roger)
18 - RADIO GA-GA (Roger & Paul)
19 - FEEL LIKE MAKING LOVE (Paul)
20 - BODY LANGUAGE (Paul)
21 - I WANT IT ALL (Paul)
22 - CAN'T GET ENOUGH (Paul)
23 - SOMEBODY TO LOVE (Paul)
24 - BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY (Freddie & Paul)
25 - NO-ONE BUT YOU (Brian & Roger)

ENCORE

26 - THE SHOW MUST GO ON (Paul)
27 - ALL RIGHT NOW (Paul)
28 - WE WILL ROCK YOU (Paul & Brian & Roger - each a verse)
29 - WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS (Paul)
30 - GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

Total running time would be close to 130 minutes, estimately.
