I wonder if Brian and Adam ever considered a more acoustic version of Ghost Town, as it was played right between two ballads. The way Adam looked at him during his guitar riffs was priceless. It was so good to hear GT played with real instruments and not just a backing track.

I think I need help. I was so excited to have a stream last night to listen to the QAL show. My god How can he get any better. i "LOVED' the rock version of GT!!!!! Love the heavy drums, loved Brian, and the ending -loved Neil and his bass. Queen is a rock band. I think the whole band loved a change of pace. I love how ea band member tuned into Adam and watched and listened as he sang. THAT is a top notch band - top notch musicians. It's about the music. The only complaint I have is the placement in the setlist. I thought the transition from Gt then to SM was a bit jarring. I thought he had a great response from the fans What a nice surprise QUESTION re Roger ... Looking at your monitor, at 4 o'clock, there is a rectangular box on the floor It that a monitor so as Roger can see Adam??? OPINION As to the white pants, don't you think the material of the pants is a cotton and lycra. Therefore giving him the flexibility to move and yet keeping the snug fit?????? If 100% cotton or even his leather pants, the pants become baggy and we've seen previously I would have loved to seen a change of costumes. The plaid pants are a 'preppy'/clean look to me. I want a more rock & roll look, more edgy. I would like to change up to the fantastic, shiny zebra pants he would on Jay Leno show way back when. Remember those??? Because he rocked those pants. Heavens, I really love Queen's music. Brian IS a guitar guy Lastly, as they took their bows, w Brian and roger. It was really nice to see the stars in roger's eyes. He was smiling ear to ear. Such a thrill for the two of them

A tweet will not post. Don't know why. Just leaves it as "placeholder" in the edit post view. This Tweet appears to have been deleted or is an incorrect link.

brianmay.com/queen/queennews/queennewssep15d.html#53AU NEWS 18 September 2015 Rio de Janeiro (AFP) - Thirty years after their late lead singer Freddie Mercury led an adoring Rio crowd in a legendary rendition of "Love of My Life," Queen returns to the Rock in Rio festival this weekend. That performance, with 250,000 people singing along in the rain, was the highlight of the inaugural festival, and this year's gathering, starting Friday, hopes to recapture the magic. Queen will take back the stage, with guest frontman Adam Lambert, on Friday. Some 85,000 people are expected for each day of the concerts, running through Sunday at Athletes' Park, close to where much of the Olympics will be held next year. A second festival session will be held next week, from September 25 to 27. In 1985, Brazil was just coming out of a long military dictatorship when 1.3 million people attended what was then a 10-day rock festival. In addition to Queen, this year's version will feature some of the artists from that original event, including Rod Stewart. Brazilian golden oldies Paralamas do Sucesso, Lulu Santos and Erasmo Carlos will be there, as will Metallica, System of a Down, Slipknot, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Elton John and A-ha. - Long live the Queen - But Queen will be the main draw for many. At the original concert, guitarist Brian May invited the whole crowd to sing along and got a spine-tingling response. "You want to sing with us? This is especially for you," he said. "This song is very special for people of South America." This time, Freddie Mercury, who died of AIDS in 1991, won't be there to conduct the crowd or take over with his famously pure voice. But Queen+Adam Lambert, as the current collaboration is calling itself, is already getting good reviews, and tickets for their Friday night performance sold out within two hours. Rio's horrendous traffic congestion, made worse by sprawling Olympic construction projects, means it could take two hours to drive from the city center to the Barra de Tijuca neighborhood where the concert is being held. And cars are not allowed at the City of Rock concert venue, anyway; only buses are. Rock lovers won't be the only ones hoping the getting to and from the event goes well as the event is being used as a practice run for the crowds expected next August at the Olympics. Rain isn't expected to be a problem, as it was three decades back. Since 2001, the festival, like many major events in Rio, has hired a spiritual advisor from the Cacique Cobra Coral Foundation to intervene on their behalf and ask a spirit to prevent rain during on the festival. "It will rain after, but not during Rock in Rio," foundation spokesman Osmar Santos assured AFP Less spiritually connected weather experts agree as dry weather and light winds are forecast for the weekend.
