Was ich nicht verstehe ist, dass die Jungs nicht ein wenig mehr Abwechslung in die Setlist bringen, das muss doch auf Dauer für sie selbst etwas langweilig werden? Mal so mit 2-3 Songs variieren? Vor britischem Publikum gibt es bestimmt noch mehr Hardcore-Fans, die mal was älteres zu schätzen wissen würden...

[Dr_May]

Für Queen-Verhältnisse ist bei dieser Tour doch sehr Abwechslung in der Setlist drin. 2005 passierte da kaum was. Aber mit Springsteen-Setlisten darf das natürlich nicht vergleichen.

[SevenSeas]

Sie gehen auf die Bühne, spielen die fast unveränderte Setlist runter, nur weil sie der Meinung sind, dass es die bestmögliche Setlist ist? Ich glaube ich ticke anders als die Jungs *g*

[Breakthru]

Ich hätt nur gern mal was Neues vom neuen Album gehört.

Vielleicht heut Abend so´n bisserl Small oder Runaway?

Hoffen darf man ja

[The Spick]

Runaway wurde in Glasgow gespielt - allerdings vorab, und von Band, und Original....

Die Vorabmusik war in Glasgow sehr diskussionswuerdig... Mehr spaeter mal

Yours truly

Die "Vorabmusik" ist doch immer sehr merkwürdig finde ich. Will sagen: Grauenvoll

Paar Stimmungsmacher könnten eigentlich nicht schaden.

This review is from The Herald (Scotland) and is by Stuart Morrison.

Star rating ****
Nobody could ever have filled the ballet slippers of Freddie Mercury and Paul Rodgers makes no attempt to do so. He has nothing to prove to anybody and sings Queen's songs his way. And for the most part, it works beautifully.

A thunderous intro sequence gave way to a splendid opening medley of Hammer to Fall and Tie Your Mother Down, showcasing Rodgers at his best and revealing both Brian May and Roger Taylor to be in top form.

From a staging perspective, this was the Queen of old, with runways left, right and centre, and an enormous kinetic lighting rig.

Some of the quintessentially Freddie songs, such as I Want To Break Free and Another One Bites The Dust didn't quite work, although Rodgers merely had to point his microphone at the crowd and they sang them anyway.

Freddie made two singing appearances on screen, on a snippet of Bijou during May's overlong solo spot and naturally, on Bohemian Rhapsody, with the band playing along with him.

They played five tracks from the new Cosmos Rocks album, with the current single, C-lebrity and the Aids awareness anthem Say It's Not True, particularly well done. Other highlights included 39, in which May was joined by several thousand backing vocalists, and Rodger's singing Bad Company and Seagull, from his own, extensive, back catalogue.

However, the most affecting moment was May's rendition of Mercury's achingly beautiful ballad, Love of My Life. "I don't know who Fred wrote this about," he told us, "but I'm dedicating it to my Mum." So we all sang it for our Mums. May was in tears by the end of it and he was not alone.

Dieser Jeff Beck/ Rod Stewart Song "People get ready" find ich aber richtig gut.

Welcher Song ist denn der mit dem "Down, down, down" im Refrain? Cooles Teil!
