hahaha. i was the one in the stirped shirt i think they showed me on screen with my friend and me man once or twice....
was i on screen for catching the towel?[/QUOTE]
Yup, that was me. After Brian threw you the towel, the look on your face was priceless. You looked like the crown jewels were thrown at you! But I didn't check the screen at that moment. I was busy looking at the towel!
[QUOTE]remember hte drunk guy?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I smelled the booze all night. It was nasty. Other than that, it was a perfect night!
[QUOTE]and as for brian (i couldnt remember all he said, but after my shock wore off!) he said "this was written by a man who couldnt be wit hus tonight, but hes here in spirit, this is love of my life" or something like that.[/QUOTE]
But I'm talking about just before that moment! He briefly said something in reply to the shouting from me and the guy across the catwalk.

I was in row 15 right behind you guys!
there were like 4 guys in row 16 doing the St. Pats 2-fisted drinking thing. they were sloshing beer everywhere and got it on my coat and tour program. Jerks! When the lights came up, I swear I was standing in an inch of beer.
Me and my friend were wearing the Queen II tee shirts that were getting the compliments and the "where did you buy those?" only to hear the disappointing reply, "I made them!" So if it was you guys who asked - that was me.
I was very pleased with the show. The sound was great, and the view was well worth the $99. I'll be honest, I was there to see my Brian - but I came away with a new respect for Paul Rodgers.
And a word to you naysayers: with "fans" like you, who needs enemies? When the Bills were 2 and 14, who froze their asses off in the endzone? The true fans! Win, Lose, or Tie - the eternal soccer mom always cheers for the ones she loves. Queen IS and always has been more than just Freddie Mercury. I loved him and dearly miss him, but life is for the living - let the dead bury their dead -Jesus. My appreciation for Brian and Roger didn't die with Freddie. Rock on!

I loved the show. Did you see me? I was the kid around 12th row, next to the catwalk, with his head buried in a plastic bag 58% of the time. Oh yes, I am very sick. I have some sort of infection but I hope I feel better soon. During the concert, I stood up when I could, I had to duck out to use the bathroom during Bri's solo, but I don't care, the concert was magical, perfect, amazing, everything that makes up a really great rock concert. I really do think that they should come back. It was too awesome. By the way, did you see the guy dressed in drag for some contest where you could win backstage passes? Unbelieveable! Alright, back to bed for me. I'll have plenty pictures for all of you later.
when you walked into the floor...before you got your wrist band there were a line a peple waiting standing there by these doors. I asked the lady that gave me a bracelet and she said they were waiting for some type of meet and greet...does anyone know if they got to meet the band and how they got that and of course...were any of you one of these people??? :)
Writing on the road..currently in Pittsburgh. I thought the Buffalo show was tighter than Toronto. The attendence was pathetic and the crowd- although better than Toronto was really dead -except for some of us on the floor going mental in Row 20. LOML Brian seemed a little sad that nobody was singing along --we sang as loud as we could and he turned and received acknowledgement. That was nice. Dragon Attack was the best song of the night---that rocks and is so fun. Saw some band family members in the crowd as well. All in all a good show.
During LOML/RADIO GAGA /WE WILL ROCK YOU The crowd was singing along and clapping It was a good crowd response.
does any one know how long did the guys stay here in buffalo? before i went into the arena i heard some one singing bohemian rhapsody. it made me laugh i would of started that freddie thing that he would do to warm up his voice in front of the audience but my friend would of killed me. hopefully next time if they come back we all should get to together and sit around each and just have a good jolly ol queen time so their will be no spilling of beer around us and he can encourage the band with interaction so even if there is no reall sold out crowd the guys will at least know who the loyal fans are. us alone would be better for those who we were sitting next to did nothing. i sat in floor 4 row 32 and this couple were sitting next to me they didnt even clap or shout they just stood there. what the hell was that all about. that was making me mad they had no reaction to them. like they were in a canatonic state or something. why did they even show up. love to all queen fans who went and had a blast like i did. i still think about the show and have a hard time sleeping cause of it.
"Saw some band family members in the crowd as well"
who was in the crowd? and where?

\ Fantasam, your incredibly deep negatvity about Q-PR tour annoys me up here in TO too. Dude, you're playing in the Lion's Den, as the concensus is that anyone who witnessed that show, expected - and received; a blend of one of rock's all time best male voices with one of the "Best guitarists, amid Queen et al, with terrific talent to boot. We knew Paul isn't Freddie, and all fans accept this. But Freddie would sound a bit unusual singing hard core Bad Co. tunes too, though he had great vocal range.
Fant, enlighten us, how many classic rock bands of that size, status, talent, re-group with a huge singer and tour successfully? None, and don't cite some lame 80's band as an example either. {Van H mixing with Sammy H would be acceptable though}.
"True Queen fan" , whats with that?? you're not worthy of such bravado dude. A true Queeen fan would not dare trash them , in spite of any challenges faced (like inserting a lead tenor voice for a soprano, then tour) . We true Queen fans are (as i said in prior note), good-natured, loyal , and supportive, always expecting Queen to change, and reach for new electrifying sounds. Thats their style, and I am certain Freddie would approve of the current mix.
The Eminem Intro rap was fine, it got anyone-everyone stoked around where i was sitting, young-older- who cares, it grabbed attention and Queen took over from their, giving us a full throttle ride for the next 2+ hrs. PS. the Rap was brief and flowed well into Tie your Mother down, in Tor concert anyways.
Fantasma, I agree 100% with what Teleman lectured you on (well stated Teleman). I also want to add that your disapproval for the tunes missed (IWIA, '39,), is part valid, but if one scans the Set List, they are continually varying it , every 4-5th show. Buffalo, and TO missed those tunes too, but LOMY had everyone singing either way.
I am fortunate enough to go see them -again , In Detroit, this fri, (this time floor seats, 6 rows back, Holy F**K!). I really hope that fans like Fantasa stay home and play TV ping-pong and other archaic leisure activities that would complement his mind-set to live in the past. He does need to chill, and recognize that narrowed (non-sensible) views are for the media press journalists. Note to self 'Fantasma, "I had no business commenting On Queenzone".
