Streetchild Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Saw them last tuesday in Rotterdam and they were awesome. I really like Paul's voice, and he does the songs justice in his own way. Most reviews I read here from the show are very positive.The setlist:Intro (Cosmos rocks)01 Tie your mother down02 Fat bottomed girls03 Another one bites the dust04 I want it all05 I want to break free06 C-lebrity07 Surfs Up… School's Out08 Seagull09 Love of my life10 '3911 Roger electric Bass Solo incl Under Pressure/Another One Bites The Dust12 Drum Solo13 I'm in love with my car14 A Kind Of Magic15 Say it's not true16 Bad company17 WE BELIEVE18 Guitar solo19 Bijou20 Last horizon21 Radio GAGA22 Crazy little thing called love23 The show must go on24 Bohemian rhapsody Encores:25 Cosmos rockin'26 All right now 27 We will rock you 28 We are the champions 29 God save the queenI'm still waiting for the pictures, since they're on my friends camera. You're going to have a great time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Set_the_Controls Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 (edited) Damn, they dropped One Vision as opener? That's a shame, I saw it on a setlist for one of the shows they played recently and assumed it'd be there for the whole tour.

ThinkAboutYou Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 (edited) I love Original QueenSo I would probably check out a show if they came to AustraliaBut it's abit like The Doors without Jim, Inxs without Micheal etc it's just not the same.

Projected Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Man I wish I could see them.Hell will freeze over before they come here, though.But hey, it's a good time right now, Deep Purple, McCartney, Depeche Mode, Slipknot, AIR and others have been here or are coming here so... Maybe a miracle will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Damn, they dropped One Vision as opener? That's a shame, I saw it on a setlist for one of the shows they played recently and assumed it'd be there for the whole tour. Yea, I was really dissappointed when I saw they dropped it too; it's one of the Queen songs I always wanted to hear Paul sing since the first time I heard him. Oh well, hopefully they'll pick it back up by the time they bring this show to the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demon Wolf Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I'm seeing them at Wembley november 8th, and judging by the Youtube-clips, reviews and reactions, they seem to put on a fucking brilliant show.I was only two years old when Freddie passed away, so I am extremely glad that Brian and Roger are taking the music on the road again for us newer fans to enjoy, and with such a great singer as Paul Rodgers.Seriously, I doubt there's any other 59-year old rock singer that still sounds as good as Paul does.

Set_the_Controls Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Agreed, Paul sounds pretty much exactly as he used to, and in my opinion he does both the old and new Queen material justice live, from what I've heard.Getting really, really excited for the show I'm seeing now.

Demon Wolf Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 There is a pro-shot video of their first gig of this tour on Youtube. Search for Queen+Paul Rodgers in Kharkov and you'll find it. Amazing gig, even though there are some rough edges.Roger Taylor's drum solo is fantastic. And I'm usually bored with them after a minute. Paul does a killer version of A Kind Of Magic too.

Streetchild Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) Roger Taylor's drum solo is fantastic. And I'm usually bored with them after a minute.Yeah, that was pretty cool. He started with one piece of his drumkit, played a little, they added another piece, and at the end of his solo he was sitting behind a full drumkit at the front of the walkway from the stage.Brian's guitar solo (Last horizon) was amazing too.

ssiscool Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Yeah Roger Taylor was drumming on a chello at Cardiff. Started to play Another One Bites The Dust like it. He also done a drum solo while they were building his kit up for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sysyphus Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Bumpity.Saw them Wednesday and it was probably the best show I've ever seen. To think that these guys are minus Freddie and getting on a bit by now, yet can put on such a phenomenal show for 2 and a half hours truly astounds me. I was surprised how fantastic Paul sounded and I can now see why so many consider him one of the best vocalists in rock nowadays, because he's brilliant. I never thought I'd see the day where I'd see someone else singing The Show Must Go On and think the singer did it justice, but he was great.I stood by the platform in the center of the arena, about 2 rows back and the view was amazing, they spent most of their time down on that platform and seeing them all come down to play an acoustic set right in front of me was pretty good I can tell you.Highlights were Say It's Not True from the new album, '39 and Love of My Life which were played in the acoustic bit and Roger and Brian's solos, which were superb. Roger drumming all over his kit while it was being built was entertaining to watch and it was refreshing to see something different instead of 'just another drum solo'.Rodgers is definitely one of the most charismatic frontmen around, and his voice is sounding perfect right now. If you're a Queen fan on the fence about seeing them or haven't even considered it because of the lack of Freddie, I urge you to buy a ticket, put that to the back of your mind and just enjoy the show, as you'll have the time of your life. :xmasssanta: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
