A small damper for the fanatical Queen fan, the kind that prepares himself at home for a glimpse of his heroes. At the door of the Ziggo Dome, all bicycle bells must be handed in. "Safety, sir, you understand." Certainly, however, it's going well with the traditional end of Bicycle Race. Finally, with the symphony of bicycle bells.
And it's not an easy evening for the true Queen-adept. Every concert of the band with singer Adam Lambert for the group is also one evening, Freddie Mercury. After his death in 1991 Queen (Guitarist Brian May (70) and drummer Roger Taylor) has been on tour with his current guest singer since 2012.
To do what is impossible in advance: keep the legacy of Queen alive without the Queen himself.
But still: with a set list like tonight, there is little wrong. The Queen's hit catalog - from party number Fat Bottomed Girls to tranentrekker Who Wants to Live Forever - still shines like it's still 1984. And then Lambert is another fabulous scarlet acrobat with charisma. One more additionally, after half an hour, explains that he does not think he is suddenly on the same level with the big Mercury.
In short, he was quickly checked in the sold out room. For the second time in this composition in our country, the concert offered the opportunity to see Lambert as a young version of Mercury, raised with the achievements of modern times. A full blood rocker with a sense of pathos. But one complete with shiny pink costume, high heels, eye shadow, clothes swaps and a completely tight botox forehead. And, like late Mercury, it's a pure attention to it.
Whoever left his reserves quickly found out that this version of Queen may be. Lamberts version of I Want It All breathes the right dose of life, I Want to Break Free is good fat and the duet with Taylor on Under Pressure is simply iron strong.
Only his Somebody to Love misses the despair that Mercury and later George Michael, perhaps, in Queens, made the most beautiful song.
Yet, one evening Queen still offers world-class rock entertainment in 2017. And then Bohemian Rhapsody has to come. The first tunes of that song can be added to the daunting jubilee but to one conclusion: Queen will be back in December at the top of 2000.
QUEEN + Adam Lambert

A journey through time to the golden age of Queen
AMNÉVILLE - Queen founding members Brian May and Roger Taylor rocked yesterday evening with singer Adam Lambert in the galaxy in Amnéville.
Tribute bands are currently in high season. But if you can admire two founding members of one of the biggest rock bands in history live, it's a whole different story. Supported by energetic vocalist Adam Lambert and three other colleagues, Queen musicians Brian May (70) and Roger Taylor (68) showed on Sunday night in the Galaxy Amnéville that they can still bring the big hits of that time to sparkle.
The show launch was like the rest of the evening: spectacular. Gray-crowned living legend Brian May impressed with pinpointed solo riffs and an acoustic version of "Love of My Life". Roger Taylor used the drums with impressive efficiency.
The American Adam Lambert never tried to imitate the unforgotten frontman Freddie Mercury, but knew how to convince with his own style. With the classics "Do not Stop Me Now", "Somebody to Love" or "Who Wants to Live Forever", he showed the full range of his skills.
Highlights of the evening included other timeless British band hits such as the groovy "Another One Bites the Dust", the Evergreen "Bohemian Rhapsody" or the intense "I Want It All". Of course, the hymns "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" were not missing as additions. For the 8,000 visitors in the galaxy it was an unforgettable - and unique - evening. The band played only a single France concert.
