Review
Since teaming up in 2011, Queen + Adam Lambert have been playing shows in different parts of the world and making high-profile media appearances, including the Oscars ceremony in 2019. The pairing made sense: Lambert's flamboyant and dramatic singing – which hearkens back to Queen’s late and beloved lead singer Freddie Mercury—matches perfectly with the British theatrical rock of the band, now spearheaded by founding guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor. Despite being together now for nearly a decade, they never released a proper collaborative album together until Live Around the World (Hollywood Records). Spanning the last six years, Live Around the World is essentially 'Queen's Greatest Hits Live'—thus, the big numbers are obviously included in all their splendid glory, including “Somebody to Love,” “Another One Bites the Dust,” “Fat Bottomed Girls,” “Don't Stop Me Now” and “I Wanna Break Free.” The last several tracks on Live Around the World— “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Radio Ga Ga,” “Hammer to Fall,” “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions” — is the setlist from Queen's electrifying performance at Live Aid in 1985, this time performed for the Firefight Australia benefit concert from earlier this year. As shown on the new set. the chemistry between Lambert, May and Taylor is undeniable, perhaps a harbinger of some new original music down the road from the trio.
