I was supposed to be so, I would have to learn to sing, or at least play an instrument at first :P

- what would be an approximate running time?
an hour, hour and a half....
- how many songs would you put in?
17/18...20 tops.
- would there be any restrictions? (for example: "only 1 song from every Queen album")
I'd look to do at least 1 song from each album.
- would you do some acoustics somewhere in the set? if yes, where would you place it?
in the middle, 2 or 3.
- how would you choose the songs to play? (remember: it would not be just for yourself!)
get a general vote.
- would you just play what queen did? or would you at least try something around? (like playing something live, Queen never played live for some reason)
I'd try Dead On Time.
- as time might be quite limited: of course you would have to play some of Queen's biggest hits, but how much of your set would be in for that? 50%? more? less?
probably 50%
- audience participation always has been an important thing to Queen. how much attention you would pay to that?
the hits would encourage that by themselves.

- what would be an approximate running time?
Hmm, I'd probably do quite a long show, I'm not quite sure how long but it'd be over 2hrs for sure.
- how many songs would you put in?
About 30 seems like a reasonable guess, probably between 30-33 songs though some would be quite short and I'd include two meledies.
- would there be any restrictions? (for example: "only 1 song from every Queen album")
No.
- would you do some acoustics somewhere in the set? if yes, where would you place it?
Probably only love of my life
- how would you choose the songs to play? (remember: it would not be just for yourself!)
I'd probably try and mix the big hits with some lesser hits so to speak.
- would you just play what queen did? or would you at least try something around? (like playing something live, Queen never played live for some reason)
Oh there'd be several of those, apart the Miricle and Innuendo, I'd also play the first minute of the Hitman, gimme the Prize
- as time might be quite limited: of course you would have to play some of Queen's biggest hits, but how much of your set would be in for that? 50%? more? less?
Quite a few of my songs are what you'd call hits though I have dropped a big hits as well. Mind you the last quater is pretty much exactly the same as the magic tour bar Shear heart attack replacing FWBF.
- audience participation always has been an important thing to Queen. how much attention you would pay to that?
Yes I'd definatly have some audience participation, In the middle of NIH (I loved that!) and I'd also probably have the live aid AP as well somewhere.

This is very interesting, but I have no idea what a set list would like like. I am in a band (all we are playing by Queen is "Tie Your Mother Down") and so it is very close to what I wanted to do for years.
Obviously the hits have to be played, Queen understood that and so do I. I think fans would riot if Bo Rhap or Rock You were cut from a set. I would focus on more of the album tracks that were never played or very seldomly played, especially those tracks found after 1986 that were NEVER performed even once with our dear Freddie.
Adding a B-side and maybe even an unreleased demo to the set would really pick out the die-hards!!!!

erm, well, 40 songs seems to be quite much ... do you really think you could stand a three hours performance? ;)
