Brisbane review: a few parts shared below. This author wrote of some good vibes coming from the concert and yet was quite critical in other parts ...especially writing about the 5 min "boring" solo of May in the pouring rain. (Maybe the rain was drizzling down his neck. I guess a 2 hr 15 production in the rain was not his cup of tea.) "It takes quite a spectacle to cut through two hours of unrelenting rain, but for the most part, this singularly spectacular British rock band handled the task with aplomb. .....Taylor is a fine drummer, and what he lacks in flair he more than makes up for in dependency. Backed by a percussionist, bassist and keyboardist, this quartet was in the pocket for the entire show, leaving May to noodle high up the fretboard to his heart’s content while Lambert’s remarkable instrument effortlessly delivered melody after classic melody. It’s still a tricky, layered creation that could just as easily collapse under the weight of pomp and excess, but the band did exactly what was needed while the stadium turned into the Southern Hemisphere’s largest karaoke bar for six or so minutes. The encore bracket consisted yet more massive singalongs in We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions, and it became hard to imagine a casual fan of the band — or a viewer of the 2018 film — walking away less than impressed.
At two hours and 15 minutes, it was a bloated show that could have easily cut some fat. But minimalism has never been Queen’s forte, and such complaints are churlish given that this could well be the last go-around for the two surviving members: May is 72 and Taylor is 70, yet commendably, neither man seems capable of phoning it in.
The Rhapsody Tour, then, highlights what Queen has always been: a good band with a handful of truly great songs." www.theaustralian.com.au/arts/music/review-queens-rhapsody-tour-in-brisbane-with-new-frontman-adam-lambert/news-story/d0cac323f89a8e3170a121baebea09f7 twitter.com/australian/status/1228031473548066816
