Manchester Evening NewsReview: Queen and Adam Lambert at Manchester Arena
'Obviously there is no Freddie Mercury. But he's here in spirit and in person, on occasion, at just the right points' ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Queen are a band that created something so incredibly good that generations have fallen under the spell decades after the loss of the sun at the centre of its universe - Rest in Peace Freddie.
I feel bold saying it, but after five years of allowing Adam Lambert the unbelievable honour of taking the mic while Brian May and Roger Taylor drive out their formidable repertoire, I think the galaxy is back in motion. He is a massive shining star. Just like Freddie. Not Freddie. But my goodness, with all the best bits.
The decision to allow this kind of show is testament to the fact that May and Taylor have waited for so long until even debating the option of having someone else sing those songs. And regardless of the practice and effort (and compromise) it has been worth the effort.
As we arrived the visuals became a big part of the show with the stage encased in screens that look like rusty blocks prompting a robot to break through the metal prison.
The robot's eyes are not menacing but uncertain, tentative. It's hand busts through the metal case. It's an obvious metaphor for me: a legendary band which takes the brave and decision to turn these chords and lyrics loose again.
And what a start, a teaser of We Will Rock You.
Lambert is such a great showman. He arrives in his shimmering bodysuit and boots, completely at home with these songs and this crowd.
May wrenches at the guitar like a rock star half his age, looking immense in his formidable flared jeans and his grey hair, electric in the light.
After breaking his vocal in with 'Hammer to Fall' Lambert smashes his way through 'Stone Cold Crazy' as he ventures along the walkway alone for the first time.
The version is fresh, but then again so is 'Another One Bites The Dust', which is played with renewed rock sass.
'Fat Bottomed Girls' starts with the brilliant multi-harmony featuring May and Taylor, then Lambert returns to the stage for 'Killer Queen', clad in a pink suit and killer heels. It's his moment to share the unusual situation with fans. Lambert promises to 'celebrate Queen and Freddie together' and then explodes into 'Don't Stop Me Now'.
Obviously there is no Freddie Mercury. But he's here in spirit and in person, on occasion, at just the right points. It feels like a celebration.
'Ride my Bicycle' allows Lambert to camp it up with his pink trike which he rides up the stage while singing. His range is amazing, his vocal acrobatics alongside May to intro 'I Want It All' is a special moment.
For me, it's the only moment in the whole show where Freddie is missed. I want to see him in that vest, in that crown.
