A kind of magic: Impressive revival of the classic Queen catalog

At the risk of wear holes in an already polished a little cliche, one can hardly ignore that tonight's session belongs to the year's most anticipated rock concerts here at home. 24 years after we lost the amazing frontman Freddie Mercury to AIDS comes (the remains of) Queen hesitate to visit: There is a full house in Herning tonight.

And judging by the expectant atmosphere among the more than 15,000 attendance suffered for eight, it does not rise to the great concern that it is a 33-year-old former "American Idol" Participate as if some should try to lift the heavy legacy from Mercury.

At 20:02 the lights are dimmed and a nesting wall of sound begins to rise behind a giant white stage curtain adorned Queens familiar band emblem. At 20:09 you can hear an electric guitar being struck behind the curtain.

Four minutes later begins a smårastløst audience to applaud the familiar rhythm to the 1977 classic "We Will Rock You" in rhythmic impatience. At 20:18 shoots a column of smoke rising from the advanced mini scene the end of a long ramp out in the crowd. And then it all starts.

Enthusiastic showman

"One Vision" was replaced by "Stone Cold Crazy" opens the party and no, the musical-trained Lambert is not a Mercury: He is a technically skilled singer, bargain suitably flamboyant homosexual and appearance. An enthusiastic showman, as well. But Mercury's special blend of thinly veiled vulnerability and rocking brawn - the sheep tonight we are only in the few moving passages where video clips with Mercury on the big screen is incorporated into the performance.

For a show it - and a highly entertaining and engaging one of its kind, immediately added. For when the introductory paragraph is in place, you have to actually give the English reviewers right: Lambert not only shoulder the task - he adds just the new millennium Queen the vitaminindsprøjning and the young blood of the former Free & Bad Company frontman Paul Rodgers After all, did not succeed in his time as Queen vocalist.

Costume shifts are countless underway; from leather jacket with gold rivets of tight red checkered pants in long leather boots to leopardplattet suit and royal crown - and the "Seven Seas of Rye" slouches Lambert is affectionately on a divan on the protruding podium, while May performing.

For we lack Mercury, looks and sounds May in return just like themselves. the characteristic curly toupee was white, but his face strangely unchanged. And more importantly: He mastery still the electric guitar with the same pompous authority, as in the band's heyday three or four decades ago.

A kind of magic

We get a long concert - almost two and a half hours - and the band is only hotter and hotter as it progresses. "I Want to Break Free" includes Mays first regular royal solo; Since follows several more in among others "A Kind of Magic," the drummer Roger Taylor for a while - and a bit fragile - takes the vocal lead.

Not to speak of in the long instrumental course along the way, not least the two remaining members of the original group is allowed to unfold extensively on their instruments.

So facing Lambert back, and "Tie Your Mother Down" is allowed to usher concert last quarter, where quite heavy artillery pulled forward in the form of "Radio Gaga," "Bohemian Rhapsody" and finally the encore "We Will Rock You" and " We Are The Champions, "while gold confetti raining down from the ceiling and enthusiasm in the hall will never end.

It is now 38 years ago, Queen promised that they would rock us in the primal effective song of the same name. Tonight in Herning fulfilled the incredibly lifted once more - and it is probably also a kind of magic, in a sense.

He has a “golden glittering organ”



CONCERT REPORT | 13 February 2015 -Schleyerhalle, Stuttgart
Queen + Adam Lambert = royally.

I eagerly was like a horse in front of the royal carriage, if it would work with Queen and Adam Lambert. And yes, it does!

It's Friday eight clock. The long sold out Schleyer Halle is still lit up. The stage is hidden behind a huge cloth with the tour logo. A golden-lined ridge like a tip extends into the audience and opens into a round pedestal. Also on the sides of the main stage are mounted higher, golden Podestchen. Good conditions for audiences near and movement on stage.

It sounded muffled guitar sounds that would probably announce the arrival of a UFO in a Hollywood blockbuster and lie like a rug over the crowd. Insecure clapping and whistling. We go now? The music fades to start it again later in a similar manner. This game continues for the next twenty minutes. The Clap & whistling louder again. Nothing happened, but all seem focused and wait for the big bang. If the tension makes the same similar curves with the protagonists on the stage, which is a good evening.
Mist rises. What drama. Nothing. Again fog. Light. Smartphones.

The silhouette of a man behind the curtain. A bang. The curtain disappears abruptly. On the now brightly lit stage is a gray belockter, dressed in black, Brian May and leaves the opener fingers over the strings slide center stage deafened the whole wrapped in white Roger Taylor on his elevated by a pedestal drums, while in skin-tight leather outfit appearing Adam Lambert with his powerful voice blares us the words of One to answer vision. Lambert and May the song and play Riffbälle to just so ahead of Taylor's voluminous drum sound. What a start. What a sound. What a stage set. What a production. Over the heads of the protagonists of a giant screen ellipse below the hall ceiling, which transmits the performance on the stage to the last row and, in conjunction with the audience projecting ridge an oversized Q. The hall is raging.

Lambert welcomes Stuttgart with "All my fat ass bitches" and forward gallantly into Fat Bottomed Girl. May brettert an equally thick riff on the guitar, the first of many strings breaks. With a new look, Lambert wearing now with gold fringe edged Westernarmstulpen and plateaus, this warbles on a pink sofa lolling Killer Queen. Now he turns to the Stuttgart audience. "Thank you for giving me a chance tonight. It is seeking to honor to play with synthesis gentleman." He recalls on to the person whose place he is allowed to take today. "Let's celebrate Freddy, let's break free! ". The name says it all. With Somebody To Love Lambert can his vocal power and - present wide so right. To treble without losing Operesk strength.

After the personal "Hallöle" Welcoming the audience who now seated with his twelve string acoustic guitar on the rondel May sings along with several thousand Stuttgarters Love of my Life. Goosebumps. Freddy appears on the screen and sings. 39 shows how cross-generational Queen with her music people reached and still reach. After the introduction of the band and the Taylor sung Days of our Lives and A Kind of Magic it's a flurry of events in the middle of the audience: A grouviges bass solo on electric and electric double bass and a drum battle between Taylor and the young drummer that has washed up, lead to Under Pressure in which all the protagonists are gathered on stage again. In Who Wants To Live Forever will settle down a disco ball, May gets into a stunning guitar solo sounds from his instrument that one stays away the spit in Another One Bites The Dust can Lambert continued circling the hips and concise in the collective a capella takeoff I Want It All culminates in thunderous drums, strings and buzzing frantically cheering Stuttgart. While Radio Gaga Lambert handshakes picks in the front rows and after May's question: "What do you think of the new guy" warm applause. The golden glittering organ comes at Crazy Little Thing Called Love used to effortlessly 'reached at the Lambert`s voice the deep tones of Elvis, which report illustrates his vocal range again.

And since it's the song that Lambert then interpreted on American Idol and if not the funkiest composition of the Royal British who makes old and young, and united front of the stage and clearly the highlight of the evening: Bohemian Rhapsody, which Lambert and on the screens appearing Freddy Mercury duet and which is supported by magnificent play of light in the hall and musical on stage. Queen leave to thunderous applause the stage, the more the assimilates to the rhythm of We Will Rock You.

The drums rise again, the complete drum riser rises and falls Lambert majestically in golden leopard dress and crowned sparkling like a young monarch again on the stage and in the subsequent HeWhoCannot ameds We Are The Champions further on. The audience is located singing in the arms and the artists on stage at your feet. All happiness of the last two and a half hours open with a bang in a sensual explosion of golden confetti, which is now pouring over the intoxicated and hocheuphorisierte audience.

Simply cover, grin and fall asleep now.

Brian May talks about Adam Lambert’s Queen transformation: ‘He’s really evolved, hugely’
February 15, 2015 by Something Else!

When Brian May peers over at Adam Lambert on stage with Queen, singing Freddie Mercury’s songs, he sees someone making a similarly transformational journey.

Anyone who’s followed Queen knows the band evolved from a harder-edged rock focus into one of the more entertainingly complex groups of the rock era — a shift that paralleled that of the once-painfully shy Mercury. By the time Queen made the big time, Freddie Mercury was ready for his moment in the spotlight. He’d become one of music’s most dynamic frontmen.

Adam Lambert, May says, is doing more than echoing Mercury’s vocals. He’s following the same path.

“Adam has really transformed, I must say,” May told muzyka.onet. “And, he shares that with Freddie. Freddie was always good, but he transformed himself from a singer who could do this or this into this really sort of god-like performer. Adam is the same. He’s really evolved, hugely. He’s much more comfortable in his shoes. He’s much more confident with an audience. In fact, it is like he was born to it. He’s grown into the part.”

Queen is in the midst of a final series of European shows, appearing today at Herning, Denmark. Appearances in Prague, Zurich, Krakow, London, Liverpool and Sheffield follow through the end of February.

Is Adam + Brian’s Improv turning into a song?
2.16.15 by Q3

It started off so small. A little tiny bit on stage. Then it got longer, more complex.

Here is the latest improve from Herning, Denmark.

It is starting to get magical. Is that because they sang it in a decapitated pyramid?
