Oh, we have a tornado alert over the entire Cleveland-Akron area -- which is me!!

Been quite a tornado year for me already. Hopefully it misses us.

Stay safe, Q3! This has been a heck of a year for tornados.

It will not be the same as Kiev. Similar, yes; the same, no.

>> The have always changed things up a bit -- even the 2005

2005 and what? 2005 & 2006 when it went from Europe to North America it changed only a little bit. The 2008 tour was different though.

The setlist will contain a lot of the same songs as 2012 because they will include the big Queen hits and they will do the "Adam" songs -- WWTLF and DA.

Agreed.

But I expect that they will do some new additions -- because they always have done that for Queen tours, and Brian and Roger said so. In addition, I bet money that there are new medleys/arrangements of the hits, and I predict that BoRhap will be presented in some different way than 2012.

I disagree about BoRhap. I will almost guarantee it is done the same way. Or a very similar way. There will be Freddie video during the first section. The opera section will be the same. The ending will be...similar. I would bet money on that.

And even if it is the same setlist (which it will not be), the transitions and arrangements will be different. And Brian's solos and guitar breaks will be different for some of the songs.

Agreed

There are 20 songs (including 2 tapes) that I think are close to certain. But they will do 26 to 32 songs based on past concerts. Here are 18 that I expect that were preformed in 2012:

The 2 additions that I expect are:

1. Killer Queen and (I think they will push Adam to do this.)

2. There will be a new taped into. They used "Flash" for the 2012 concerts.

100% agreed. I do think Killer Queen will be added (possibly in a medley though). And they almost always switch openers. HOWEVER I would not be surprised if it is the same opener. Between 2005-2006 it was the same opener. Just saying. Not positively though.

There are some things that people expect to hear at a Queen concert. Here is my list of song will probably be on the setlist. All were performed in the 2012 concerts:

Big hits

1 Another One Bites The Dust

2 Crazy Little Thing Called Love

3 Fat Bottomed Girls

4 Radio Ga Ga

5 Somebody To Love

Agreed. 100%

Not big hits in the US but well known to Queen fans

6 Love Of My Life
(not a hit in the US or Canada, but I hope this is back on the setlist with a Freddie tape -- if not this there will be another Freddie-Brian ballad)
7? Tie Your Mother Down
(this was not a hit in the US or Canada but I think it will be there cause Bri likes it, I would strike it off)

Brian has ALWAYS done Love of My Life. It will be there. There has not been a full Queen gig without TYMD since it debuted. Not one. These gigs will not be any different.

8 Under Pressure
- This might be considered a hit, I put the "hit line" at Top 20 on the US Charts. This is right below that at #22.

Hit status isn't important here. It has grown in status well beyond it's chart appearance. I'd bet it would be there. Hopefully.

[qupte] "Adam" songs
- there could be a Glambert riot if WWTLF is not on the setlist!
9 Who Wants To Live Forever

10 Dragon Attack [/quote]

Agreed. These two will be there.

Section without Adam

11 Drum solo

12 Guitar solo

13 39 (Brian on vocals)

Roger song

These will definitely be here. EXCEPT maybe not '39. It was dropped during the last American tour. Might be a different one here.

To close the show….this is a pretty standard great finish.
14 The Show Must Go On

15 Bohemian Rhapsody
(part on tape)
Queen Rock song
- a "Brian song" -- could be two songs here.
16 We Will Rock You

17 We Are The Champions

18 God Save The Queen (tape)

Agreed on the ending. There may or maynot be a Brian song there...I hope so

Assuming they do 30 songs -- including 2 full taped performances, and two partial tapes #6 and #15 -- and they add in Killer Queen, there still is room for a few surprises. (And that is assuming that some songs not listed above like "A Kind Of Magic" or "Don't Stop Me Now" make the setlist again).

Agreed. Hopefully a few more.

[I would not be surprised to see them put in a song like "Bijou" which they did on the Q+PR 2008 tour.

If they do it would be part of Brian's solo just like Last Horizon.

[/span]

And I would not be surprised to see them add in a funky track since Adam likes these best and funk-rock is so popular in the US and Canada.

I *kind of* agree - I just can't see what else they'd add on top of AOBTD and Dragon Attack.

Based on past tours, I bet one song performed in Chicago gets replaced. And I bet they throw in something special for the two concerts that are in the same venue -- Toronto and Mohegan Sun.

Agreed there.

I would not be completely surprised to hear an Elvis cover somewhere in the US. I have been waiting for 5-1/2 years for Adam to cover Elvis, so might as well be Jailhouse Rock with Queen.

Wouldn't be shocked but I *DON'T* think it likely....maybe a one-off somehwere.

**

They will also do some one concert or local market only performances -- in the 2012 concerts there were 2 songs performed only once:

Life Is Real (Moscow)

You're My Best Friend (last London gig)

I REALLY hope Brian continues what he did at Hammersmith. Before LOML, doing a singalong of a random song. I'd love to see him do a different obscure song a night. Would be brilliant

Could do Best Friend, Long Away, Good Company, Is This The World, Dreamers Ball...could be very cool...

They will certainly change something for Japan -- and I expect that will be the addition of Teo Torriatte.

Teo Toriatte will come out in Japan - Brian on first verse? Adam comes in for the money notes?

**

Finally, I was at the London shows and I was at the Vegas concert -- and all the Vegas songs were performed in London. It did not matter -- they were different in Vegas -- including the video/recorded part used for BoRhap.

PS I probably forgot a "def will play" song -- forgive me. I dashed this note off from memory and I a probably forgetting a huge US hit.

Not really forgetting anything huge!

We're pretty close..disagree on a few things - will be fun to see who is right. Of course we just helped out a ton of people on the setlist game

I am glad that you got one of the signed ones!

I really dislike groundctrl. They really do nothing to make a fan club fun and I just pay them the minimum membership amount to get the pre-sale access -- which I did not need this year because I am also a Queen fan club member.

>> Perhaps I will wait for a while and buy one of the 18th mo calenders on clearance!

me too. I'll pony up the 10 bucks in case there is a pre-sale for something I want to go to. It's not that much money.

I joined the fan club when the QAL tickets were scheduled to go on sale, just so that I could get in on the pre-sale. And hey, I was ALL about the presale!! :-) But I have had to basically reset my password EVERY time that I've logged in to the fan club site since then. It seems to have some issues. Still - PRESALE!!!!!!!! :-D (Happy Glambert!)

Talon -- we can't keep agreeing so much.

***

The BoRhap in Las Vegas was different than London -- no Freddie video there -- just the 4 heads video. We'll see what they do but I except something much more arena-worthy than Vegas and London. At the least there will be a lot more smoke and pyro.
