Do we have this review? Translated from Spanish by Bing Chronicle of Queen @queenwillrock with Adam Lambert at Palau Sant Jordi @palausantjordi www.solo-rock.com/2016/05/queen/
Translation:
WHAT IN
EVENT DATE: 05/22/2016 LOCATION: PALAU SANT JORDI CITY: BARCELONA PROVINCE: BARCELONA EDITOR: ALEJANDRO GONZÁLEZ AMADOR SCORE: 8.5
As one got closer to Palau Sant Jordi could feel that he was one of those special days. faces of enthusiasm, a lot of first-timers on their way to his baptism with the group, some of whom you enumerated all the concerts they had seen in Barcelona with Freddie at the head were visible. Inevitably always just comparing Adam Lambert with whom he has been and will be the benchmark on stage, but, to be fair, the Californian is knowing how to convince the skeptics, not only by her voice but also for his attitude in each performance.
This is the only concert the band gave in Spain in his new tour, the first since we first visited in 2008 with Paul Rodgers, so it was a must for any fan of the eastern half of the peninsula -not for both those Lisbon closest they had, for two days before they acted there in the version of Rock in Rio concert held in the lusa- capital. It's a pity we can not enjoy John Deacon along with Taylor and May, but the show is not necessary and Lambert is being smart enough not to want to replace Freddie. Do not try to imitate him and, as more than 18 000 people who were there, and that publicly idolizes serves swimmingly to get the audience in his pocket.
At ten twenty, only a few minutes late, began to sound the iconic Flash which is the prelude to everything that we were coming. Beginning with The Hero , we heard live for the second time since 1982. Then, one after another like a hammer, and never better, Hammer to fall , Seven Seas of Ryhe and Stone Cold Crazy. They had to Palau from first minute each verse and chorus chanting. They followed with Fat Bottomed Girls whose introduction let us taste a few seconds of White Man- , Play the Game and Killer Queen , the latter with Adam crossed laterally on a throne, in the purest style cabaret singer, gustándose. Domina time, more wardrobe changes least four times in each concert, feels very comfortable on stage and has complicity with the rest of the band.
A small pause and sounds that keyboard that puts the willies, Taylor begins to set the pace in the hood of your ride: I Want to Break Free . The eighth of the 27 songs that sounded in the night. Then, everyone chanting Somebody to Love . Brian May guitar leaves, approaches everything can the public and sitting on a stool thanks us for coming tonight and what it means for him.
We all know that there is only one song acoustic sing alone, and that is Love of My Live . It was the first time that Freddie appeared on screen and made us sing with him. For a more emotional interpretation all night and almost certainly also for the May own judging by the tears I could see nothing but end server. Roger Taylor joined him to sing These Are the Days of Our Lives and then conducted a battery duel with his son, Rufus, who accompanies them as a second percussionist. Without being a display of technique he served to a small intermediate and regain strength for what lay ahead.
Under Pressure she returned us to get into the dynamics of concert group, took us in verse stanza with its perfect bass line and served as a tribute to Bowie came in fragments projected played in the studio version. Just after all Palau stood up to move the hips to Crazy Little Thing Called Love and nobody sat he started ringing as Do not Stop Me Now . His fingers ran over her Red Special May it sound like he only knows and The Fireplace bewitched us with every note. Bass Another One Bite the Dust helped us to dive more so in a special atmosphere and we had a back and forth at will. After a vocal-instrumental interplay between Brian and Adam, I Want It All and Who Wants to Live Forever we entered into a musical feast that made us sing to all those present as if we were one voice.
When we listen to any group of such caliber we must not forget that behind his music there is even more exceptional people. Do not forget that Brian May is an astrophysicist and Last Horizon -of his solo album Back to the Light- we saw in its highest scientific splendor. I think the atmosphere with lights, projections and sound moved us into outer space masterfully. He chained this marvel with one in which he played fragments Now I'm Here, Keep Yourself Alive or Brighton Rock. The ovation became leaps and low euphoria chords Tie Your Mother Down , certainly one of the songs more direct force.
The Show Must Go On began the final stage of a concert that at no time was long or heavy. It was followed by what many consider the composition par excellence: Bohemian Rapshody . Freddie reappeared on the screens playing the piano and moving us thirty years ago. Enjoy this hymn as lived in the Palau live should be a mandatory life experience at least once in life. With Radio Gaga and everyone clapping to the rhythm we got to break bis. Missing the two most played and interpreted by the British classics. The combination of snare and bass drum and subversive lyrics of We Will Rock You sounded like a roar in all areas. The spectacular guitar solo left us at the gates of parting with We Are The Champions . Adam, outfitted in a suit and shiny crown, made master of ceremonies for a closure in which there was no shortage golden confetti cannons. God Save the Queen put the finishing touch to the evening as is tradition in all its actions.
Lambert is not Mercury, of course not, but is part of the spirit of the show. No one can deny his vocal ability and never try to replace the genius of Zanzibar that is present in every song, that's all we know. Each concert is a tribute to him. May, Taylor and the rest of the band not only give show, but make music and live a level that many others and would also provide a very good sound and great visual spectacle. We do not know how long this symbiosis, but clearly found a point in which all are very comfortable on stage and know how to take advantage.
