More quick notes. Floor up entire time. Lower sides up to the corners on all upbeat songs. Show started pretty much on time, no bag check whatsoever. The big lighting rig and displays are AWESOME. Loved our seats, just a bit out of head on. The side screens look tiny in the vids and I thought they might be useless but no, pretty good. Have I said how AWESOME the middle screen was? Adam looked gorgeous. Crowd fell a bit asleep during the guitar solo, sorry Dr. May. My hubby loved it however and videoed portions. Soft laser light during this was coooool! Adam does seem to disapear a bit after the start, that mid-breather section is a bit long even with Under Presssure and Higlander  . Crowd really didn't get back into it until the Elvis song. Crowd roared with approval when Adam came on for encore with crown. |

True confessions - I've always hated Adam's fingerless gloves (not just Adam's that style in general). #freethehands I guess they go with that biker-style jacket and if they help him get into the right place to perform like that OK with me. I do not notice them because the rest of that outfit is so great. But not my favorite look either. Love your new AVI - very appropriate :-) am thinking might have to plunder something from all the photo goodness coming our way for mine too. |

Did they perform DSMN? Was there a bass solo by Neil? Yes, there was a bass solo. Including Body Language, and Roger drumming on the bass. No, they did not perform DSMN, they went with Version 2 of the set list :( Snif! I love DSMN! When I was a kid back in the communist days behind the Iron Curtain, we could not buy records of most western rock groups. So we had copies from copies on cassettes from friends who got the records who knows where. Quality wasn't very good, but it was better than nothing. So my version of Jazz would cut off the end of DSMN and it drove me mad for years. Thankfully, things changed in 1989 and once I could travel the world, I finally got to hear the whole song! So I was really looking forward to hearing it live, and was a bit let down. As for the rest, I will post my impressions shortly. An interesting fact though - as I mentioned, there was barely any official rock must available officially for purchase in communist Bulgaria in the 80s. But nevertheless, the Bulgarian recording company Balkanton issued a version of the Queen Greatest Hits record (both vynil and compact cassettes) sometime around 83 or so! One of the very few western acts that the Powers were OK with for some reason. Because Queen were too awesome? Who knows... Great story. I am so glad you got to see Queen live. Oh how the world has changed. in just 30 years. |

Well that was phenomenal. Such a good show. Going to sit back with some wine and bask in the afterglow. I'll recap part 3 tomorrow. Vancouver night lights are something to behold. So pretty. I can't wait! Luv part 2 where you got a stage seat! |
