I very much doubt they will cut out the "non-Adam" portion of the concert. This is not based on what the fans want, or what Brian and Roger want. It is very important for Adam in terms of preserving his voice in multiple concerts on tour.
The Queen catalog is full of big, rangy songs that Adam takes to the limit and sometimes over the top. Roger said he does more than is necessary for the songs. Adam is singing almost non-stop for over a half an hour at the beginning. While Adam is accustomed to doing musicals eight times a week, in those he never sang as many numbers, even in the chorus, and his chorus parts were not nearly as vocally taxing as some of the Queen numbers. He takes good care of his voice, and he sings correctly to prevent any strain or damage, but, the vocal cords do have limits, and once you exceed them, it can take a long time to recover (and sometimes full recovery is not possible).
During the 2014 tour, Adam sounded strong throughout, even when he was sick as a dog at the end. However, toward the last part of the tour, he was dodging the highest of his glory notes. No more F#5s at the end of STL (after cracking on the note several times in concert). I think it was probably time, at the end of the tour, for him to dial back and give his voice a bit of a rest.
As it is, Adam sings for over 90 minutes throughout the concert. If they cut out the non-Adam parts, it would result in Adam singing for two hours, which is unwise. If the guys think that that section needs more lively music to engage the audience, they may change the numbers, but I hope they will be smart enough to swap in other songs without Adam on the vocals.

Thankfully they did not insert a video clip into TSMGO. IMO there is enough [maybe too much] video in the show as it is. I am there for a live show, not to watch and listen to videos. There are more than enough Queen nostalgia shows out there. For me, the show would be better if the Freddie video was used once during LOML. That is an effective, moving moment. I saw the show quite a number of times in both the US and Canada, and the band video section during TWTDOOL always drains energy out of the building. It is the one song I would cut completely but if it makes Roger happy it is OK with me. Bores the audience, every time. Finally, BoRhap -- the duet is nice, IMO Queen + Adam just performing the song live would be better with just the head video. >> I expect to see both the LOML and the BoRhap Freddie videos. **** Since the UK + Europe shows have a GA floor, I am wondering if they will cut that long section in the middle (the no Adam part) and make it more lively. Perhaps cutting the bass solo? Interesting from different perspectives. While I am glad they did not add Freddie to TSMGO, I thought it was still cool to hear once :D All 3 shows I went to had Days of Our Lives as a highlight. People aren't going to go crazy for a quiet introspective song, but the crowds I were sitting with were pretty transfixed and loving it...It was the only time John was seen on screen as well (minus the talking head Bo Rap part). LOML and Bo Rap will definitely be there. As for cutting the No Adam part? I *HIGHLY* doubt it. I think if anything it would have been cut more for America than Europe, being Adam's home turf, and Queen's latter day struggles...If anything I wouldn't be surprised if Roger got another number...Remember in 2012 in Europe Rog got Days of Our Lives AND A Kind Of Magic during that section. I hope they don't cut the bass solo...I would love to see Neil vary it up - throw in a few different numbers a night...I mean it's literally like a 3 minute "solo" of obscure Queen riffs but I know that's just me He did vary it more during 2012. When he brought it back in 2014 he varied a bit at first but eventually settled into the Nevermore-Don't Try Suicide-Body Language-Dragon Attack run (well at least til QAL started doing Dragon Attack again) I think the more effective setlist was the Australia and New Zealand Setlists where they reworked that center section, dropped DOOL and Roger did AKOM instead. I expect that DA will be performed and not part of the bass solo. The changes were not major, but it was enough to kick that middle up a bit. Queen + Adam Lambert setlist Melbourne August 29, 2014 Now I’m Here (from Sheer Heart Attack, 1974) Stone Cold Crazy (from Sheer Heart Attack, 1974) Another One Bites the Dust (from The Game, 1980) Fat Bottomed Girls (from Jazz, 1978) In the Lap of the Gods… Revisited (from Sheer Heart Attack, 1974) Seven Seas of Rhye (from Queen II, 1974) Killer Queen (from Sheer Heart Attack, 1974) Somebody to Love (from A Day at the Races, 1976) I Want It All (from The Miracle, 1989) Love of My Life (from A Night at the Opera, 1975) ’39 (from A Night at the Opera, 1975) A Kind Of Magic (from A Kind of Magic, 1986)Bass solo Drum Battle Under Pressure (from Hot Space, 1982) Dragon Attack (from The Game, 1980)Who Wants to Live Forever (from A Kind of Magic, 1986) Guitar solo Tie Your Mother Down (from A Day at the Races, 1976) Vocal solo I Want To Break Free (from The Works, 1984)Radio Ga Ga (from The Works, 1984) Crazy Little Thing Called Love (from The Game, 1980) [TSMGO was performed here in the other Melbourne concert.]Bohemian Rhapsody (from A Night at the Opera, 1975) Encore We Will Rock You (from News of the World, 1977) We Are the Champions (from News of the World, 1977) God Save the Queen (from A Night at the Opera, 1975) |

^ I agree with that. Although I believe the impetus of the change was more that AKOM and I Want To Break Free are NOT songs done often in North America. NA doesn't really know those songs as well. When QPR came through AKOM was dropped before the tour and Break Free like 6 gigs in. I know Roger loves AKOM and Break Free and often performs them at his solo gigs so he probably tried to get them back in once they left America! I think Dragon Attack might have been brought in to avoid the two power ballads in a row, especially at the end of the tour. AND Adam loves it. I also though think it is back in to stay and will not be in the bass solo All I know is I would expect LOML/39 to stay as is. Brian is a creature of habit and this is always one of his own highlights. As for the other non-Adam sections, as I said I wouldn't be surprised if Rog got Days AND Magic in the middle there, ala 2012. |

If the guys think that that section needs more lively music to engage the audience, they may change the numbers, but I hope they will be smart enough to swap in other songs without Adam on the vocals. They already dropped DOML for most of Asia Pacific. They switched it to AKOM in most of the concerts. I am not sure if this was directed at my comment because I did NOT post that Adam should sing substantially more. To repeat my three points more bluntly and hopefully more clearly: 1. LOML with Freddie is a beautiful moment, no need to add more. IMO adding another Freddie video for TSMGO (as Talon posted was considered) would be overkill. 2. I think the nostalgia video and DOMY was not effective. Q+AL did not include this song in most of the Asia-Pacific shows and I prefer that setlist. I prefer Roger singing AKOM. 3. The only addition I would like to hear is to have Adam sing the last part of Bohemian Rhapsody without the Freddie video -- I am not generally a fan of live singer-video duets and it is not needed here. I do NOT expect this to happen, I do NOT believe this is a universal preference, it is just my preference. I referred to the section of the NA concert setlist that dragged a bit as the "non-Adam section" because it was the part without Adam. But just to be super-clear, there is a difference between me not wanting to watch/listen to video tape of singers, even Freddie, in concert and me wanting Adam to sing more. I am a Queen fan and I want to see and hear Brian, Roger and Neil perform, too. |

Good morning. And besides the very important maintaining of Adam's amazing voice....he needs time to change his outfits! You know for Adam it's all about the clothes too!  |
