Oh, that was you??????????? Cooooool! I was the guy right beside you with the Freddie t-shirt on. I was the next hand that Paul shook. He must feel privileged. ;)
Before LOML, I was shouting for Long Away, and the guy across from me was shouting for '39. We exchanged back and forth a few times until Brian finally spoke to us, but I forget what he said! Does anyone remember?

Greetings Buffalo from a Toronto Queen fan.
Really cool to see that you all took part in a memorable Queen concert experience, with Brian at enlightening your city with Masterpice Theatre Guitar-work (isn't his playing incredibly amazing, OMG is he EVER freaking talented, not to mention a great gentleman too), while Rodger and Paul serenaded your crowd too. I feel very bad for the band in that your attendance was low. Perhaps, as one of you noted, the promo was lagging, and did not clarify the lack of a warm-up band. That is a shame, as many would have got an initial energy surge from Tie Your Mother Down, their intro tune, as they did in Toronto the night before. A couple of thoughts on that. Yes, it would have helped that your radio DJ's inform you that show time is 8 pm, period (remember that Brits are typically punctual, ever ridden their ever timely trains/buses?), and also that since Bad Co, was inter-twined, that that comprised the complete Queen show. God Bless our Q 107 DJ's for alerting us to that (prior to) or we might have encountered the same, with late arrivers... . I can empathize with you for being disappointed (with crowd size) on account for your own loyalty to a very great band, and your concern for how the Boys might feel about a smaller crowd. Your considerate responses are typical of good-hearted Queen fans; loyal, supportive- yet protective of these musician lords who have influenced our lives with such positive energy music. I think Freddie would be proud of you for your concerns and your obvious appreciative comments.
Hey for those of you lucky folks who were able to
shake Brians or Paul's hands, or catch a towel (wow that would be cool!!) i envy you, i hope that moment stays with you for ever. I was in lower sec in TO, but only 70' from stage, and so Brian was in our living room for that matter. I am also going to Detroit, so i will get my buddy to try your strategy and pay$ a bit to get even closer.
Queen rocks and always will be my number one band. Yes i too, at 41 yrs, shed tears for a few tunes (Bo.Rh. and Those were the Days), as earlier band photos appeared. Funny how one band's music can be a true chronology for your life. My mother thought i had gone straight to hell, at age 12, when i first played A Night At the Opera in our living room after sunday dinner.
Yet many moms were in the crowd in TO. and this time there were no complaints!
Hey American friends, next time they come to Buffalo, I'll tell a few friends here, and join you all- we'll pack the place with good Can-Am folks. The Show Must Go On.
Peace eh?

This was the greatest show ever. And I too was disappointed in the attendence, because I hope that should they do a studio album (and that prospect is getting brighter and brighter everyday!!!!!) that they'll come back. Granted the PR for this tour was not AT ALL WHAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN!!!
But too bad for those who didnt go because it was one hell of a show! And I'm jealous of those who got the towel!!! LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can read about my experience here www.livejournal.com/users/beutfulyordnary
It is rather lengthy, and doesnt even come near to what i want to say!!!!!!!!!!!! My adrenaline is still pumping! I think ill be flying on this high for a looonnnng time.
As one of Queen's younger fans, this meant so much to me that i got to go... I shed many tears, and im amazed that i can even talk! I was screaming so much! I apologize to those around me in my section for my out-of-controlled yelling and jumping! In fact, we werent even where we should have been, but someone was already in our seats, but we wound up with better ones anyways!! We were in section i think 116, like row 8!!!
I had a nice brief encounter with the woman sitting behind me, and it just goes to show you that QUEEN brings people together! I had this lovely little woman sitting infront of me, im not sure of her age, but she was rockin' out with her cane and, i was just in awe at the entire experience.
I really really really really A million times REALLY hope that they'll come back again!!!
I was a little sad that Rogie didnt talk to the crowd, but i was in no means disappointed with the show in anyway. I just wish they talked more with us. Outside of that, i have no complaints.
But the journal entry (link above) will share everything with you if you're interested.
BOYS IF YOU READ THIS, COME BACK AGAIN! WE LOVE YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If they ever tour again. They can play Darien Lake
Amphitheater It would be a good place for them.
Granted its a summer tour

Why is the attendance so low?
To me it seems obvious for those reasons:
- A rap intro
- A band that adamantly refuses to play what the audience wants to hear (no '39, no IWIA, instead of that they add some Paul Rodgers or other disposable stuff like "Dragon attack")
- A vocalist who treats some Queen songs really badly.
Corresponding to Roger Taylor "if they don't like it... they should stay home and listen to the records".
We (the majority of the Queen-Fans) take him at his word, staying at home and listening to the records.
A few others (some few thousand) go watching the QPR-Shows, selling their soul even to Rap.
QPR are rather Rap preacher/promoter than
Queen-messengers.

What are you going on about?
The Eminem intro works well. Not many haven't heard it so it has a certain level of familiarity. It also is catchy. When you hear Lose yourself with Brian playing in the background the level of anticipation goes up. Besides how many people know about the Eminem intro?

They changed up a couple of songs. Big deal.
They played well over 2 hours. If they play every song that every fan wants they would still be playing the opening show in Miami with multiple intermissions.
It is Queen + Paul Rodgers so it makes perfect sense to play some of his songs. All Right Now and Can't Get Enough of Your Love are as well known in North America as most Queen songs from the '70s. (Obviously not on the level of Sports Stadium anthems 'We Will Rock You' and 'We Are The Champions' or BoRhap) I don't hear attendees complaining about the Paul Rodgers songs. I really enjoyed hearing 'Bad Company' and qUEEN'S 'Dragon Attack'
As far as your view that Paul Rodgers treats "some Queen songs really badly" I disagree. He is not Freddie. Get used to it. There are a couple of songs on ROTC I thought he didn't sound good on. 'I want to Break Free' was awful on ROTC but in Toronto it was really good.
To blame Paul Rodgers just seems to me like another bitter & disgruntled Freddie fan.

I agree with Roger. If you don't like it don't go.
So far I'd say the vast majority of Q+PR concert attendees are happy they went.
Who are you to think you speak for "the majority of the Queen-Fans"?
You sound like a religous zealot when you make comments about those attending Q+PR Shows as " selling their soul even to Rap" "QPR are rather Rap preacher/promoter than Queen-messengers"
Nobody sold their soul by going out for a great night of entertainment by a great band. Q+PR have nothing to do with "rap". there is no inherent message involved with what Queen did or Q+PR do.
If you want a message go visit Brianmay.com and visit his soapbox.
Me message to you is to pull your head out of your a$$. You could use the fresh air and the sunlight. You might change your $hitty outlook.

The low attendance in some shows is due IMHO to poor promotion & high prices.

Well said!
those points were so laughable...
I detest rap music, but i do like "Lose Yourself" by Eminem because it has a good message and is a cool way to build the antcipation...
And all other songs before that are classic rock like Jimi Hendrix or CCR, you make it sound like they're playing nothing but rap prior to the show...
And there was zero advertising where i was for any Queen shows, usually for shows there is crazy promotion going on, so many people didnt even know that there even was a Queen show going on.
And i agree with Roger as well, if you dont like it, dont go. But im sooo glad that i went! Because i was 2 when freddie passed, im never gonna see him live. And paul did a great job singing in Fred's memory.
But as usual, the naysayers have to come in and be kill joys.

wow! those are fantastic! You've got mine beat! I havent had a chance to post em yet though, when i do, ill leave a link!
OMG!!!! Brian was in Niagara Falls and my house is 5 minutes from the park. I knew they probnably would check it out...I should have camped out there...well if you could and if it wasn;t soooo damn cold haha. Butyeah I can;t believe he was around. Oh yeah....you know when Bri paused for quite a while during LOML....I thought he was pretty much done so I yelled out "play 39!!!!" lol (it was a girls voice-wlel duh lol) but yeah..I felt like an ass after he continued to play the song...I was like..he for sure is gonna write this on his website saying how some jerk ruined the moment. So yeah...sorry for ruining the moment haha I didn'tmean to. But it rocked!OMG I got to change seats too I had row 20 but just marched on up to the gate and ended up at the tip (slightly to the right) of the catwalk. I also had to be stuck between people passing weed around lol then the security guy busts out his flashlight. Oh well...it was great!
