>> Brian is right, they have too many mandatory hit tracks!!
There will be about 25 songs....plus a few snippets of fan favs that do not fit or that make cool arrangement. Like Dragon Attack+Son and Daughter. I left out those little snippets.
Will they open with a big instrumental number and lots of effects? My guess. But they started Vegas with the keypoard/piano part of BoRhap and "Mama". I am hoping for "Mama"....
IMO no way they open with BoRap. For a shortened set like Live Aid and iHeart, yes. But for a full show that's usually the closer before the encore (OR right before the closer). They make you wait for it :D
I forgot to mention the obligatory guitar solo and drum moment.
I agree that my gut says they may add this. Now if it's the full version it would be the first time ever. They've only done it in medley form before...and honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it's medley form this time if they do add it.
OH GOD NO!
Sorry, it's my least fav Queen song. NO chance in HELL they do it as B&R don't like it either. BUT at the same time...they DID do it live a few times on the 82 tour
New Jersey
It is better live with real instrumentation but still I'd rather not take up a slot
Sorry I think this will ALWAYS be the Freddie moment in the show. He will always sing one of the verses. I could be wrong, but I don't htink so/
Agreed there for the most part.
NOt sure about '39. They did it in 2005 on the 2 US dates, but then in '06 they dropped it because a lot of fans didn't seem to know it. I hope they do do it, it's one o fy fav moments.
It's a definite to me because US hit or otherwise it is a BRI favorite. He has never NOT played it since 1976 on a Queen tour or a QPR or QAL or a solo tour. He even snuck it in a few times with Kerry Ellis on the Candlelight tour for godssake
He has said that it just comes across amazingly well in concert and no matter how the gig is going, THAT song just worked. I would be ABSOLUTELY flabbergasted if they didn't play it. Adam may sing it this time though.
I forgot I Want It All in my list - That I would also put as a probable. THe band seem to like it live, having played it in 1992 and all throughout QPR and QAL
Would be great!
Would love all of these. You are correct on White Queen. Black Queen wasn't REALLY performed since the 70s. When it appeared on any 80s sets it was a minute long Freddie impromptu piano playing with no vocals.

I am putting this here for the universe. I am sacrificing 2 numbers for them to demonstrate my commitment!POSSIBLE COVERS
28. Jailhouse Rock, an Elvis cover (Queen loves Elvis, Adam has never covered Elvis but channels him in an updated way, Adam had his full Elvis on in Vegas, it would be great to do it in the US one more time)
29. Red House (they did it with Paul Rodgers, Adam did this in Biloxi and WinStar). [/quote]
Possible. Another possible cover would be Runaway by Del Shannon. B&R recorded it with Paul and it was phenomenal. Wish I could see it live.
You never know!
Another random thought - Princes Of The Universe. Had second life due to Highlander TV series here. Not out of the realm!
