Maybe we should leave that up to Queen/Adam and their Japanese fans  Ha ha! This song is so beautiful I would be totally happy to give the Japanese fans a little help.
So many thanks to Talon for the continuing seminar. Love it!
I tweeted...may be they'll notice....  |

TALON'S TAKE: Teo Toriatte (Let Us Cling Together)Written by: Brian May Freddie Mercury - lead and backing vocals Brian May - guitars (including outro), piano, harmonium, plastic piano, backing vocals John Deacon - bass guitar Roger Taylor - drums, tambourine, backing vocals ........... PERSONAL NOTES: - BEAUTIFUL song. One of my all time favs, especially from this album. Powerful vocal from Fred, great writing from Brian. It's just a wonderful song. TEO TORIATTE (LET US CLING TOGETHER)......0% in North American, 85% in Japanoh god, Please make it happen! Adam's voice on this song will be pure heaven... Should we tweet to Brian and Adam? Would it help? >> There is no need to tweet Brian, it is probably already on the Japan setlist. >> Queen usually has a standard setlist for a tour and then adds in a few special tracks here and there. This is almost a certain addition for both Tokyo and Osaka. Just my guess on odds -- 95% chance they perform it is both Japan concerts, 95% chance that Brian sings it. >> I think it is likely to be Brian with acoustic guitar. Like this: youtu.be/IJPnUzLx4nkNo matter what happens, if/when this song is performed the audience will sing it too. The Brian performance of this song on page 1 is wonderful, he performed it in Germany, and the crowd sang it too. The version from 2005 Japan (above) I do not like as much. *** My favorite way to see this performed would be with Adam singing lead, Brian on harmonies and piano, Roger doing minimal production. And the audience. In any case, with or without Adam singing, it is a beautiful song. *** I believe that Adam will sing about 20 songs. They will have Brian and Roger sing 4-5 and do a couple instrumentals. We know that Adam has always been very careful about not doing more than about 60 minutes of active singing in one concert and not singing more than 2 back-to-back concerts. This is much more strenuous than doing musical theater. 60 minutes = about 20 songs. |

@shealbox nothing changed from before. It's not a world tour due to time restraintsWhen Shoshanna keeps talking about 'time restraints' for Adam, does anyone else get the feeling it is about more than promoting his new album. I think she said no more Glee because of time restraints when that takes only a day or two.... it just feels like there is something else.... |

There will be more concerts in more countries from the rumblings I am hearing. I think will be something between Toronto and Seoul, Korea. And I still believe this tour will end in London, not Japan. Most people have predicted a London finale to the tour but the question is when.
The first Q + PR tour took over a year with plenty of breaks in between so that the band could attend to other business. This might happen with Europe, where QE is set to tour this year, starting in Bournemouth. I saw some ads for Germany as well. There are probably exclusivity clauses in place which prevent an overlap between the two events. Perhaps they will cut QE short - it doesn't have too many dates at the moment. WWRY in the West End has been shut down so they are reducing UK exposure.
QE just left Hong Kong, which suggests that city may not get a Q+AL concert either - promoters are squeamish about over-exposure - but in their hey day Queen drew stadium-sized crowds in several Asian cities, so they could add a quite a few in that area.
Maybe a short Euro tour next year. Saving my pennies now. My bet: Queen's final, final concert will be in Hyde Park. If they end this tour with a in Arena 2, that will mean that they haven't closed the book yet.
Intermittent shortie tours are a great prospect as long as they are non-US and don't mess with Adam's own cd roll-out. I believe that QE tribute show is not a consideration. QE is a theater show, tribute show playing to relatively small audiences. In the US/Canada that average venue capacity was around 1,400 and tickets are averaging around US$40. In Hong Kong QE was part of a bigger event. If anything, QE would act as a small promotion for QAL. *** IMO Hong Kong, Singapore and Shanghai could all get concerts. I am certain promoters would support any of these cities. *** I also do not think the Q+PR Tours provide much info about what they will do beyond the general way tours are often set up -- in blocks of concert dates in regions. So we appear to have the North American dates for QAL. Two differences are: 1. Adam has a solo album coming out that he will need to promote. 2. Brian and Roger are 9 years older now. |

QAL - Teo Torriatte is indeed beautiful. Brian has written some gorgeous songs.
GLEE - I haven't checked in the last several minutes but the last time I looked I Wanna Be a Rock Star was the only song from NYNY not uploaded on the official Glee youtube channel. I wonder WHY! With the great reaction Adam has been getting it seems absurd to ignore his one song from this episode. (I'll bet A Great Big World isn't too happy either LOL.)

It would make AGBW happy -- it is a current song of theirs and they may have not allowed Glee to post the performance for free. AGBW released "Rockstar" as a promotional single on March 3, 2014. (ETA: Promo single = free on iTunes for a period of time.) It was released on their album "Is Anybody Out There?" January 21, 2014 My guess is that they blocked Glee from releasing it on YT. ETA: AGBW have 1 hit, the album sold 59K in the first two weeks, the lead single "Say Something" is 3x Platinum. They are signed to RCA and this looks like a cheap promo path -- they have the AGBW audio on YT -- no video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtROijZqCb8&feature=kp No sign of major promo support. |

It wasn't included in the Billboard review either...  |
