twitter.com/raysgigs/status/940950658148126720We have a great view from the guest block right of stage .
Sitting near us are Mike Rutherford (Genesis / Mike and the Mechanics) and Pattie Boyd, the former wife of
George Harrison and Eric Clapton who inspired the songs 'Leyla ' and 'Wonderful Tonight'.
QUEEN + ADAM LAMBERT play a fantastic show of around 2 hours 10 mins on stage.
The reviews and YouTube clips of the stage production were very good but live in front of you,
this really is one of those totally dazzling mega stage productions that could easily be used outdoors at stadiums.
It really has got that 'wow factor' with the stage designed like Brian Mays guitar with the 20 metre stage
extension along the floor standing ( the neck of the guitar) and two shorter stage extensions.
Loads of big screens along with lights and lasers.
Singer Adam Lambert is a perfect replacement for Freddie Mercury as he is full of camp youthful swagger
and top level showmanship.
Adam wore half a dozen very colourful & glittery outfits.
Adam sat astride a giant robots head (News Of The World album cover) and later on for 'Bicycle Race'
he rode around the stage on an oversized pink tricycle.
The middle section from 'Love of My Life' to ' Under Pressure ' was played on the end of the stage extension
so everyone got a nice close up view.
Great to see rock legends Brian May & Roger Taylor still performing to massive crowds.
Guitarist Brian May still plays superb with his long grey locks flowing and trademark white footwear.
A couple of times Brian May looked very emotional at the reception from this 20,000 audience.
His guitar solo was performed high in the air atop a giant robots hand.
A few clips of Freddie Mercury on the big screen went down well.
So many great songs all the way through the show along with the mega anthems in the final 30 mins.
Queen still prove they are rock royalty....an excellent show...
