- Dana was in Bucharest
- That's right!
- Last week, in QAL's concert who are on their way here, met them for a talk. How was it?
- One of the best if not THE best show I've ever been to my entire life, I was so excited.
- But you probably hadn't seen Freddie Mercury?..
- Listen, there was an overlap of our lives of about 6 years, and then he departed sadly…
- …originally. Dana came back mainly infatuated with BM, the guitarist.
- That's right, very much so.
- Yes, and that romance went on, in the evening, at the hotel, after the show
- True…
- Watch
(AOBTD)
When this guy enters stage at the beginning of a show, he knows that EVERYBODY's after him. The burden of proof is on Adam Lambert, and it's very tricky.
(IWTBF)
He cannot forget it, mainly because he's being reminded again and again
(crowd shouting "Freddie Freddie")
It isn't something you can sweep under the table
(Adam talks to crowd)
So he isn't Freddie, don't get it wrong, but there is no more Freddie
(Freddie WATC)
In 1986, exactly 30 years ago, the man with the endless octaves, the personality of a glam diva and the overbite, took stage with his cape and crown for the last time in front of an unbelievable number – 150,000 people.
(Freddie BR)
After this show the deterioration began, everybody suddenly discovered AIDS, the entertainment world paid the heaviest price. Freddie Mercury died at 45 and left behind an excellent band, powerful songs, and a hole that can't be filled, until that one guy showed up at the talent show American Idol for the first audition.
(Adam's AI audition)
(Brian talks)
(DSMN)
Today we're sitting to talk with them when they're scorching stadiums around the world, here in the Park in September, now let's say in the luxurious palace of the dictator Ceausescu in Bucharest. Here's an example of someone who's life completely changed because of reality shows.
(IWIA)
Queen's songs live on. The theatricality of Freddie Mercury (who was born in Zanzibar), made them entertaining for the next generations, but there is a generation gap. When Queen established in the early 70s, Lambert, as they say, wasn't even in the plan yet, nor was the reality genre that discovered him. Brian May is 68, Lambert is 33, less than a half.
(BM talks about Adam's energy)
(Freddie sings Living on My Own)
Mercury was gay. Nobody talked about it back then. Had he survived the first era of AIDS, he would have probably been on the Cocktail today, and could go on singing. For Lambert, a moment after AI (in which he didn't win, by the way) ended, it was easier: he just came out right away in an interview, not something that was done in the 70s.
(BM talks about the gay aspect)
(WWRY)
May, who also wrote songs like WWRY, and does wonders with the guitar today just like back then, carries on the mission, gets up to sing himself from time to time and makes the audience emotional
(LOML)
He also had an impressive academic career. In 2007 he finished his dissertation in astrophysics, but it doesn't prevent him from being interested in lesser issues. (KQ) These curls, for instance, remained black for years, until it was decided that rockers can turn grey as well, as long as you're dignified and thick as you used to.
(talk about curls)
So on Sep. 12 they're in Israel. The producers Applebaum and Mario Arlovsky are dealing with an exceptionally busy summer, hoping that the classics would win in the box offices over the flood of shows, and will fill up the Park. If it warms anybody's heart, Lambert is also Jewish, with affinity to Israel
(Song for Peace)
Here, for example, in a memorial to Rabin, just like in the army's band…
In the studio:
- Then, the show is over, she's sitting in the hotel's bar, suddenly someone passes through
- Like the last of the groupies, I lunged on him
- She pulled BM to sit with her at the bar
- I wasn't alone by the way, I was with some other Israeli guys
- OK. How much does a rocker like him drink after a show?
- He ordered one drink
- One?
- One
- I'm not asking how many you had... What do you talk about with a legendary guitarist who's almost 70?
- He told me that he has 3 cats, but one doesn't get along with the two others, so he split them, and now they live in separate houses. How cool when you're a rock star and have several houses…
- How could he talk when he was inside your ear all the time? (pic of BM kissing her)
- Stop! It's only in the… BTW he had a bodyguard that sat with us and kept giving me looks…
- The bodyguard?
- Not like that, like he was angry with me, because I was the reason they couldn't go to sleep.
- Did you exchange numbers?
- Yes, and emails too.
- You have Brian May's number in your mobile??
- Ah, no, he's got MY number, but we exchanged emails and we're already corresponding…
- Do you know how many phone numbers and emails of interviewers from around the world he has in his mobile?
- No, because I am one and only and special… and I invited him to dinner at my mother's. She's an excellent cook.
- Can I come too?
- We'll see.
Reviews from Italy
Love of my life, May weeps
The Queen is (still) the story
Live of Freddie Mercury orphans in Piazzola. Ten thousand fans into a frenzy. Among the timeless atmosphere of Who wants to live forever and Lambert "gay power" from the crystalline talent
PITCH ON BRENTA Long live the Queen. After the concert of Queen Queen + Adam Lambert does not think about anything else. Two hours of a show that few bands in the world can give for strength, quality, excitement and involvement, sweep away any possible prejudice to why, a group that has made the history of rock, has yet to perform despite the frontaman, singer, leaders that matches the name of Freddie Mercury, it is now gone for 25 years. The answer is simple: the Queen is, again, the history of rock.
Saturday night Amphitheatre Camerini Piazzola sul Brenta, the British band and Lambert have closed their world tour, inaugurating the Sound Postepay 2016, giving the public the only Italian summer tour performances. Another point to note: the audience. The historic band from crossing myth band as measured seeing the age of the faces of the 10 thousand who are arrived in Padua: many who were not even born in 1991 were added to those who grew up with that music. Because the Queen songs they know them all, you know the words by heart, the choirs to do, know deadlifts and even the right choreography. Something like this happens rarely, with the Beatles for example: the popular that becomes universal, traditional and indispensable.
The stage is really huge, with a cloth over, giant, the "Queen crest", the coat of arms designed by Mercury in 1973, it mounted the wait, grow expectancy. Purple lights illuminate while the transmit amplifiers for twenty minutes the intro to "Flash". The show begins suddenly, the curtain disappears suddenly and discovers an immense stage, crowned by a huge circular screen surrounded by lights and lasers, under which start hitting drummer Roger Taylor, bushy white beard, Brian May, the heart the band began to perform the magic that is capable with his guitar, while Adam Lambert earns the stage with Lady Gaga style visor, a jacket all studs and the leash that hangs from the neck.
It begins with "The Hero" from "Flash," but there is time just to hold your breath away with "One vision", "Hammer to fall," "Seven Seas of Rhye". The gem of heavy "Stone Cold Crazy", "Another one bites the dust", the bluesy "Fat bottomed girls" that launches the raid on the platform of May who, with the chamber on top of the guitar, the strings frames before then fans show.
First change of clothes for the frontman wearing a great jacket of black feathers for "Play the game." Lambert, thank God, is not an imitator, not aping anyone, is not a parrot who studied Freddie Mercury: is a stage animal as there are few in the world, a pure talent, crystalline, a universal voice. Its curtain, gay power, which makes interpreting 'Killer Queen', sitting on the throne appeared at the tip of the platform, is simply irresistible, as well as the right quid of irony that puts us in the performance (for example, when running mocks the hen stressing the excess of the dress feathers). "Good evening, how are you Italian? What a beautiful, beautiful people here tonight! - Says Lambert - I want to thank you for being here and for the fact that you let me sing. This is our last day, we break up the tour. You love Freddie Mercury and also I love him; for this I ask you to celebrate with Freddie and Queen. "
The ride, "Do not stop me now" it is one that will not soon forget. "Which of you is in love? Not me ... - question the singer doing pretended to cry - I ask you one last favor, find me someone to love, "Lambert launches a triumphant" Somebody to Love. "
The word then passes to Brian May, who was alone on the stage comes before the public. "You are a sensational public, thanks a lot, I'm very happy," she says beaming May asking permission to take a selfie stereoscopic the audience. Then he invited to "sing with me that this is dedicated to Freddie": "Love of My Life," with Mercury that appears on the screen, ten thousand who sing every word on the acoustic guitar of May and, in the end, tears of emotion guitarist , it is the closest thing to pure emotion that you can try.
Although it is a time that you would want to last forever, the show must go on. And now the fortress Taylor singing "Kind of Magic" and then sit at the second battery on top of the platform and perform in a "battery challenge" with his son Rufus Tiger, drummer added the concert. "This is for a friend that we lost," he says Taylor singing "Under pressure" and recreating the duet David Bowie - Freddie Mercury along with Lambert.
The concert does not have a second's pause, run like those who lived so many to know what is best for the public. Rock and roll Elvis of "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," "I want to break free," "I want it all."
Lambert also has the rest of the band, Neil Fairclough on bass (John Deacon retired in 1997), and Spike Edney on keyboards, on tour with Queen since 1984. The timeless atmosphere of "Who want to live forever," and then the right space in May that projects with a motorized column in the middle circular screen for long instrumental "Last horizon" in which he also finds room "O sole mio", homage to Italy.
Now the scene is a riot of color laser, with the grit of Lambert makes her also "Tie Your Mother Down '. There is room in the lineup for the single anti-single most famous in the history of music, "Bohemian Rhapsody", in which Freddie's voice returns to sing a duet with the stage friends. The party, before the encores, closes with "Radio Ga Ga": see twenty thousand hands above the head flying time recreating an unforgettable choreography, is alone worth the price of admission. As well as the two would be enough bis: 'We Will Rock You "and" We are the champions. "
No other word, only applause for the myth, more alive than ever, the Queen.

Reviews Of The Queen + Adam Lambert Show in Padua
We translated only the parts about Adam, NOT the full reviews, we don't really have time to do that right now, sorry.
Via Corriere del Veneto
And, let’s face it, the talent show boy dominates the stage. Exceptional in every move, sublime in any detail, theatrical even in the little red glove, same color of the microphone. And his voice: it's somewhat sad saying this, but Somebody To Love’s final high note risks being a competitor with the one resting in Heaven [meaning the Freddie Mercury’s one, ndt].
Via Spettacolo.it
“Buonasera Italy and thank you for accepting me tonight”, these are the words with which Adam introduces himself. He’s perfectly in his skin in the role. Stopping playing such songs live would be a crime and the band seems to have found in Lambert the perfect Mercury’s “disciple”. A most powerful, technically perfect voice and a grand stage presence. But, mostly, his voice is totally different from Mercury’s, so no attempt of imitation.
Lambert plays with his role, acting as a diva, without trespassing the limit, not even once.
Via Onstage
For what is my opinion, arguments raised by who thinks this whole thing is pathetic are pointless. You’re not convinced about this? Stay home listening to Queen albums!
People here at Postpay Sound Piazzola are fully aware that Adam Lambert is allowing two legends like Brian May and Roger Taylor touring the world performing, and enjoy a highest level show.
Compared to the Assago (Milan) concert in 2015, the new songs on the setlist are not many, but something has changed. For example, they start with The Hero, followed by the song that opened the show last year (One Vision). The real difference is made by the conditions of Adam Lambert. This time he has no health problems [he had bronchitis the last time he performed with Queen in Milan ]: for the whole evening Adam sings at the limit of his possibilities, giving a very intense performance. The band now is oiled to perfection, a sign that playing so much together helped them improve the few things that worked "less well" live before.
