Queen + Adam Lambert Hallenstadion Backstage + On Stage Report Photos Videos - Zurich February 19, 2015
On the last Thursday, February 19, 2015, it finally happened and Queen together with their new singer Adam Lambert in the sold-out Hallenstadion in Zurich aufgetreten.Vor the concert offered us the opportunity Queen for an hour backstage to look behind the scenes. For us, it was there also allowed to film everything and take pictures so that we can offer you a quite exclusive look behind the scenes Queen here. In addition, during the concert, we had a place at the side of the stage on stage, that is directly on the stage, which allowed very interesting insights into the show itself.
In the backstage tour of the entire structure of the scenery and the sequence during the show was recommended by the Queen Department explained. The respective competent crew member told us their art. So stated about Queen Carpenter Andy, but that it about 800 people are involved in the construction of the backdrop. Per specific location, it is then only about 400 people involved in building, the other crew members work while already on the construction of the backdrop to the next location, as the time between shows at various venues is often quite limited.
Next, we went to work by Steve Price, who is the film director for Tours in Queensland as well as in numerous other acts such as Arctic Monkeys, Alicia Keys, Beyonce and Faithless. It determines what or who to see when on the various large monitors that are suspended in the indoor stadium. The monitors come with approximately one million pixels. They are basically with those we have at home, comparable, but of course just massively greater.
It was allowed ourselves from Queen to film the entire backstage tour, so I can present here a compilation of observations of the queen crew incl. The presentation by Andy Carpenter and film director Steve Price. In addition, the legendary Queen guitarist Brian May in the video happens, we met backstage before the concert.
Brian May - or better said Dr. Brian May, the good has a PhD in astrophysics fact is, incidentally, remained totally on the floor and the friendliness in person. He had all but ten minutes taking the time to talk with us before he went back to the dressing room to get ready for the subsequent show.
In the show we had a place on the stage, so that we could directly experience the concert and all the processes first hand. Singer Adam Lambert pointed his water-bearing directly in front of a standing room, so he popped regularly every few minutes between songs with us and let himself did not take to make jokes or to pose for photos. Very nice to see here between the songs I want it all and Radio Gaga at the Hallenstadion in Zurich.
After the first photo he said "terrible angle" and knelt down on the ground, in order to offer a better camera angle for the photo can.
The show itself began with the famous Queen song One Vision, which was written by the band members as a collective work under the legendary and organized by Bob Geldof Live Aid benefit concert at London's Wembley Stadium in 1985. First, the stage was covered by a curtain, which was then pulled away at the first notes of the song with a tidy jerk upwards.
In song Fat Bottomed Girls, you might think that I am very active and this also sang very skillfully (Thanks for the praise relevant comments on youtube;-). However, the truth is much more that we keyboardist Spike Edney next Queen were pretty much directly, which has been extremely active singing along. Spike Edney has been since 1984 on the road with Queen on tour as a keyboardist and thus was already with Freddie Mercury on stage. Because of its strong participation he was often referred to as the fifth member of Queen.
General made Adam Lambert in my opinion a very good job. Sure, Freddie Mercury can not replace it and you should not, first try also. Adam Lambert makes but his own thing and interprets the Queen songs in his own way, which I like very much. In other bands I've also had trouble to make friends with a new singer. The best example is "Sublime with Rome" Rome said with as a replacement for the late Sublime singer Bradley Nowell. But this is of course a matter of opinion. Anyway, I feel Adam Lambert as the best singer, the Queen after Freddie Mercury had - and there were so few that matter, like Paul Rodgers and George Michael, who already did their job well.
December 2014, by the way Queen drummer Roger Meddows Taylor just said at a press conference at the Ritz-Carlton in Berlin in Germany. "We are including more work with no one, after we have worked with the great Adam Lambert" - should be all right with me ;-).
In the current Queen + Adam Lambert tour, the band with two drummers on the road. One is, of course, Roger Taylor, the legendary Queen drummer. The other is his son, who goes by the magical name Rufus Tiger Taylor and was very well educated by Roger. Thus, it is ensured that it goes back exactly the same even with the new generation. Father and son liferten during the concert a real drummer duel, which Papa Roger finally could just decide for themselves
As a grand finale were unable course according to the two Queen Hits We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions not be missed. These Adam Lambert Freddie Mercury came close to not only outfit very moderate.
Freddie Mercury was not able to participate in person at the concert of the well-known reasons. But still he was at least virtually there, and his voice of the band live concert it was introduced from time to time - he appeared to be well on each of the big monitors. But a good balance was found for Freddie's involvement, so it is not placed or melancholy or the like had. It was a well-staged tribute and reminder of the much too soon deceased Queen singer.
The setlist for the concert at the Hallenstadion me very well. One could argue that some of the most important songs such as The Show Must Go On've been missing. For this purpose, however, remains to say that Queen just has too many hits to can all play at a concert. The concert was already two and a half hours - a concert length, from which one can often only dream of with other bands. Here is the setlist from Queen + Adam Lambert on 19 February in Hallsestadion in Zurich.
Here are a few more photos that we have before and during the Queen concert recorded at the Hallenstadion.
