Queen found it 'difficult to choose'.. Queen found it 'difficult to choose' 20 best performances for live album with Adam LambertMuch of the world is in lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic but Queen and Adam Lambert aren't sitting still.
A new album, "Queen + Adam Live Around the World," arrives Friday, featuring 20 recordings from live performances around the globe. Tracks include hits such as "We Will Rock You," "Radio Ga Ga," “Don’t Stop Me Now” and “I Want to Break Free.”
Lambert, a former "American Idol" runner-up, has been touring with Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor for seven years. Together, they've performed more than 200 shows.
The trio chatted with fans Thursday in a live-stream Q&A, offering a glimpse of what to expect from the album.
"It was difficult to choose," May said. "We had to make some tough choices. We're going to need another album after this for all the stuff that isn't on this album."
Queen's first live album: Queen and Adam Lambert will feature fan favorites 'We Will Rock You' and 'Radio Ga Ga'
One of the performances featured is from Fire Fight Australia. Held Feb. 16, the concert raised funds for those affected by this year's devastating bushfires in Australia.
"We performed a re-creation of our Live Aid set from 1985," Taylor said. "The feeling of electricity in the stadium was incredible."
"The audience was wild," May added. "They were so energized."
Putting together an album that's a compilation of live performances isn't as easy you might think, May said. He says the group looked to The Who's "Live at Leeds," James Brown's "Live at the Apollo" and Jimi Hendrix's "Live at Monterey" for inspiration.
"So much depends on the audiences," he said. "There's a good feeling, a good vibe. It's not about perfection, it's about some kind of magic."
Lambert says getting to perform with Queen has been a dream.
"The music this band has put out is woven into pop culture," he said. "I knew Queen songs before I knew who Queen were. I've learned so much from Brian and Roger. Just being around (them) and chatting about the world and life. I feel like I'm a better musician and person for it."
