REVIEW: Queen at the Liverpool ECHO Arena
00:22, 27 February 2015
Opinion by JadeWright
Jade Wright gives her verdict
Queen at the Liverpool ECHO Arena
*****
David Munn
Queen and Adam Lambert performing at The Liverpool Echo Arena
Freddie Mercury had a rare and unusual gift. He managed to make us all magnificent for five minutes. His songs brought out the strutting peacock in the mildest mannered of music fans.
In a couple of decades, Queen wrote more hits than most musicians do in a lifetime, and performed them around the world to adoring fans. And then, suddenly and seemingly so unfairly, Freddie was stolen from us by a cruel illness and the music stopped.
It has carried on, of course, in many forms. Original band members Brian may and Rodger taylor re-united, with the help of Free and Bad Company singer Paul Rodgers, for a series of gigs.
But that was more a meeting of bands, a guest performance.
It has taken Adam Lambert, the former American Idol star who was just nine years old when Freddie died, to truly re-create that magic.

He has an arena-filling charisma and an effortless soaring voice, but there the comparisons stop. He’s not much like Freddie in the way he sings or the way he looks but somehow it works. It’s not Stars in Their Eyes and it doesn’t feel like a tribute show. Somehow they make it seem new and fresh and strangely credible.
Even the parts where he wasn’t onstage – Brian May’s beautiful tribute to The Beatles “four lads from Liverpool who changed the world” You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away and Roger Taylor’s vocals on Days of Our Lives - somehow shone with a renewed confidence. For the latter song they showed Freddie and the band in their early days on the big screen, to huge cheers from the crowd.
From Under Pressure through Fat Bottomed Girls, Killer Queen, Don't Stop Me Now and Somebody to Love the American Idol gave a performance that was somehow all his own, and yet fitted perfectly with the rest of the band.
Add in the bombastic I Want It All a clap-along Radio Ga Ga and the naughtiest delivery of Crazy Little Thing Called Love antyone could hope for and Adam lambert held the ECHO arena crowd in the palm of his jewel-encrusted hand.
He sang Bohemian Rhapsody as a duet with a big-screen Freddie, a final perfect moment before the end of the main set.
Strutting back on in a crown and a leopard-print suit he gave the crowd a parting treat – We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions. And last night they really were – back on form and where they belong.
