MUSIC INSIGHTReview: Queen and Adam Lambert at Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney, 21 February 2018“I’m going to address the pink elephant in the room,” Adam Lambert announced to a sea of 10,000 audience members, lights shining off his, bedazzled hot pink suit.
“I know some of you are thinking… ‘he’s no Freddie Mercury.'”
“No Freddie? No shit”
Lambert was quick to acknowledge the thoughts at the backs of everyone’s mind, mentioning it after the first three songs in a brief intermission.
While it’s understandable for Lambert to be cautious in trying to fill such massive boots, by this point in the night he had already proven himself a great fit, absolutely nailing the vocals of ‘Stone Cold Crazy’ and ‘Tie Your Mother Down’.
Not only did he have a commanding stage presence, his vocals effortlessly captured the range, power and spirit of Mercury’s; something that cannot be claimed lightly.
Opening up with a teasing 15 seconds of ‘We Will Rock You’, as if just to inform the audience of something they already knew would happen, they soon launched into ‘Hammer to Fall’, and by the time they got to ‘Stone Cold Crazy’ they were in full swing and had the audience in the palm of their hand.
Queen went on to plow through classics like ‘I Want To Break Free’, ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’, ‘Radio Ga Ga’, ‘I Want It All’.
Sing-along icon ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ was, unfortunately, marred by some technical issues during the classic guitar breakdown, but apart from this one fudgy moment, the band played flawlessly, going from strength to strength in their repertoire.
The lights display and strange antics were appropriately audacious. Massive rock endings, cocky struts from Lambert, lasers, moving screens, disco balls, and even a bike that rose up out of the stage which Lambert rode around while singing.
