? ? Can't find a reference to this on the channel. Searched a bit but nothing came up. Were you checking MTV or MTVLive? I just checked MTVLive's schedule and it was on at 7pm (about 45 minutes ago) tonight. It re-airs on MTVLive every few months. Always a nice surprise when I'm channel surfing (even if I do still have it saved on the DVR) There is no video of the Isle of whight performance on youtube is there? Does anyone happen to have the file? |

LIVE REVIEWQueen @ Entertainment Centre, Adelaide 27/2/2018 I worshipped Queen growing up. They were utterly unique. A perplexing mix of kick ass rock guitars, opera, glamour, riff age and mammoth hooks. They were always about the being larger than life, bigger than big, rocker than rock. Rarely has any band produced such an endless catalogue of timelessly classic rock anthems, the fact they have THREE volumes of their Greatest Hits CD is testament to the length of that list. Right up to Freddie Mercury’s tragic death from Aids in 1991, they produced excellent records, their final album Innuendo was fantastic. There was some material finished after his posthumously, some of which was still pretty good. But bass player John Deacon, left very early on, then May and Taylor started to turn up on singles by Five or The Muppets.
I have to admit right up front, I haven’t been a fan of Queen continuing without Freddie. They toured with Paul Rogers (ex-Bad Company and Free) on vocals. He is a brilliant rock vocalist, and they are a brilliant rock band. What I saw of that configuration, was all very good but I had no desire to see it. When a band loses a singer of such unique talent and charisma, there is a case to be made just to let it go. No replacement can ever fill those glittery boots. Many have tried unsuccessfully (I am looking at you INXS) and very (very) rarely a band has managed a Mark 2 version that has had a credible second wind (think AC/DC and Van Halen). When I first heard they had taken on American Idol singer Adam Lambert as vocalist I was actually pretty sad about it. I didn’t know Lambert, hadn’t seen him on Idol and really just wanted them to stop besmirching the legacy of one of my favourite ever bands.
So given the opportunity to see Queen & Adam Lambert this week it was one I accepted with many reservations. I have to say, I was absolutely blown away. Queen with Lambert is one of the greatest shows on Earth. It is every bit the over the top epic that you would expect from a Queen concert. Incredible production, state of the art, lighting, screens, moving stages, b-stages, lasers, every single bell and whistle you could imagine. The band is impeccable, with some members being Queen side men for decades. Drummer Roger Taylor, at 68 years old, smashes the hell out of his kit like a man a fraction of his age. Brian May, lead guitarist and Astro Physicist is now 70 years old, but plays like a dream. One of the true guitar greats, his role in the band has sometimes overshadowed by Mercury’s gargantuan presence. His shock of curly hair now greyish white, his fingers still a blur of riff-tastic glory. Adam Lambert has an amazing voice, great presence, and fine stage presence. He sings these songs true to the originals, presenting them with the pomp and passion they deserve, and while he is flamboyant he is never trying to ‘do’ Freddy. The melodies are intact and he adds his own touches and flourishes.
The stage set up is themed on the art work for their 1977 album News of the World. A giant Robot head appears at the back of the stage and giant robot hands smash through a brick wall (on video screen) and the kick off with a teasingly short We Will Rock You. The stomping chant is a statement of intent. We will actually rock you, let’s go. They fire up Hammer To Fall, a song which has been in my top five Queen songs since it was released in 1984. One of the greatest riffs of all time in my opinion yet sadly not one most people think of when they think of the classic Queen songs.

Wow, that's a great review!  (Slight errors aside.) That was my all time favorite QAL Gig. Simply Spectacular I'm so glad there are some videos of this show, for those of us who missed it. It seemed to be such a special moment, even for such already special artists. |
