My Fan-tasy!!
10.25.14 by Q3
Just imaging if…….if I won the Powerball lottery and had a spare $300 million or so. Ummmmm makes you think. Well, OK, it makes me think....
I would set a bit aside, and I would give a lot to great causes, and then I would spend $8 million on the best private party event ever – and invite all of you.
The venue – my favorite concert hall: Royal Albert Hall, London. [Yes, your invite will include an airplane ticket and accommodations. Remember, I just won the Powerball Lottery which is pretty miraculous since I don't buy lottery tickets. But since this is a completely fantastic reverie, no need to quibble with technicalities.]
Opened on March 29, 1871 by Queen Victoria, the Royal Albert Hall seats up to 5,272 people. It was named after her husband, Bobby Hall. But seriously, if his name had been Fred, what then? The Royal Fred Hall? The Kensington Gardens venue is perhaps best known for the Proms, the world’s biggest classical music concerts featuring the best artists in the world performing some of the most amazing music in the world for some of the most reasonable, some might even say cheapest, prices in the world. The Proms were founded in 1895 but have been held here since 1941. Henry Wood conducted them for more than 50 years, and after his death they became the Henry Wood Promenade Concerts, which is a mouthful so we still refer to them as the Proms. Over the last 150 years or so the Royal Albert Hall has featured some of the greatest names in musical, science, and political history, a list of names too numerous and diverse to mention here. Still, we’ll give it a shot: Einstein, Elton John, The Dalai Lama, Stephen Hawking, Bob Dylan, Ella Fitzgerald, a Harry Potter book launch. Really, we could go on forever. On the 24th of May 1912 the Titanic Band Memorial Concert was performed to honor the musicians who died on the Titanic. The performance featured musicians from the London Symphony Orchestra, Queens Hall Symphony Orchestra, and the Royal Opera Orchestra. In May of 1877 Wagner conducted excerpts from his own operas and marches. Then there was Yehudi Menuhin in 1929 aged 10. Alfred Hitchcock and The Beatles. Bill Clinton.

The entertainment: Queen + Adam Lambert private show! Plus a few special guests who will be revealed soon!
Food: An astounding menu will be presented. Think Mediterranean -- a grazing feast of Tapas, Antipasti and Mezze items – with more options than you can imagine. And a few gilded and golden items!
Libations: Plentiful, endless actually.
And now, for the dream setlist! Well, actually my dream setlist!
I want the concert arranged in four acts. And I want the setlist to be realistic, 2-1/2 hours in length with some songs performed by Adam, others by Brian, Roger, Spike, Tiger and Neil.
Now I have figured out the basic plan, and a few songs for starters. Here is the first installment. Be patient, the whole scheme will be revealed in time. But a caution to Queen purists, some of the regular Queen songs will not make my setlist and some non-Queen songs will make my setlist.
