Post from QOL.. Bringing this from Peter Richard Leslie Freestone's facebook as there were discussions earlier about his opinion on Queen + AL "Ok, I know I risk losing some facebook friends and starting a verbal war, but last night I saw Q+AL for the second time in as many weeks and was really happy to have been there. Last night I was surrounded by 16,499 friends, fans and strangers who nearly lifted the roof off the O2 Arena here in Prague. I know Freddie is not on the stage, please believe me, I know, but I witnessed a great show. Queen, for me, were always about the show, and they are really producing the goods. And I for one, am so happy to see the smiles on the faces of Brian and Roger. Every opera has always been created around a specific person's voice. If the music stopped when that person couldn't perform any more, the opera scene today would look very bare. Surely it is the same for any good music, it is there to be interpreted so that the music can go on. Adam Lambert gives a valid and very good interpretation of Queen music, never trying to imitate, just giving his all for the music of QUEEN. p.s. I will not be getting involved in any discussions on this post, I've seen what happens on other pages ;-) "

www.ireport.cz/recenze/20438-live-queen-v-praze-diky-adamu-lambertovi-vzbudili-iluzi-ze-je-freddie-stale-mezi-nami.htmlGoogle translated review: iREPORT.CZ Music & Style Magazine LIVE: Queen in Prague thanks to Adam Lambert woke up the illusion that Freddie is still with usQueen decade after returning to Prague to convince us that they are simply still among us and in full form. Above all, but we proved that did not come just to remember Freddie and the times of greatest glory, but also the effort to create new memories. O you cared mainly new frontman - singer Adam Lambert . QUEEN & ADAM LAMBERT O2 Arena, Prague 17th 2nd 2015 Setlist: One Vision, Stone Cold, Fat Bottomed Girls, Lap Of The Gods, Seven Seas Of Rhye, Killer Queen , I Want To Break Free, Somebody To Love, Love Of My Life, Brian '39 Days Of Your Lives, It's A Kind Of Magic, Under Pressure, Save Me, Who Wants To Live Forever, Tie Your Mother Down, Another One Bites The Dust, I Want It All, Radio Gaga, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Bo Rhap + We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions Of course, if he were still with us divine Freddie Mercury, Prague show Queen would be on the threshold of 2015 played completely differently. Maybe the air hovering giant inflatable penis as unforgettable provocateur Fred always wanted. Between the seats would be swayed ballerinas plaid tights and king of all singers would walk around the stage like a peacock after it gracefully descended from the ceiling seated on a throne. Would have laughed, producíroval would like a model as a whole arena would play cat and mouse. So it might be if twenty four years ago has died and did not leave as one of the greatest bands of all time and millions of fans around the world. Brian May and Roger Taylor decided the creation of Queen nezmrazit and continue touring, and even a considerable number of years after the death frontmanově. When he tried to replace Mercury Paul Rodgers wrote several new songs, which themselves were not bad, Standard Queen but could not match neither they nor dřevácká image Rodgers. While the show continued, but no matter how hard it was known that Brian and Roger are the personalities that deserve to play, but their activity is often considered riding to glory Queen . And just at the moment when nobody expected the Queen will rise again, the tour was a new partner for the Queen . Eccentric, playful, sometimes lascivious. A funny and melancholy. Young Mercury version of the 2015 version of Adam Lambert managed what is perhaps only once managed to George Michael - give the illusion that Freddie is still with us. Big gestures, strong voice, expressive facial expressions. Whether in Prague was running in riveted lace jacket or shirt, fanned on a gilded sofa burlesque fan or railing sang a capella Save Me , was able to get an instant audience sympathy. When thanking you for the opportunity to play alongside Brian May, or laughed when the number was great, he was the son of Mother Mercury. Yes, madam Unger Mercury, according to which Freddie invented pseudonym. When it seemed that Adam steals the rest of the band show, so be considerate of the time disappeared. He joined Brian May, symbol progartových guitar solos, and youthful nabušenost changed British gentlemantsví. Brian forgiven as usual acoustic version of Love of My Life , which after a few sentences in English dedicated to his deceased friend and teammates. For choral singing and crying not only the audience but also himself. The same grace is always walking around the stage stylish Roger. He fairly sang several songs and enriched show on another young blood - his son Rufus Tiger sekundujícího Taylor on drums. While James Deacon decided not to cooperate with the band, it is worth noting that the keyboardist Spike Edney, who accompanied the band for several years, always with Roger and Brian emerges. Roger and Brian showed a wide range of their skills, finally found himself a suitable partner and played only songs that have arisen over the original lineup. Let fans that love them. To enjoy forty years invariant Brian poses with a guitar and Roger smacking into rhythm when playing the drums transitions. But it also left several Freddie accessed through the canvas, and the actual recordings Adam Lambert. Player of the ego, which is for the glory of Queen and heavily rubbed and finally receding memory, which comes alive thanks to them. At the same time, however, this is not a requiem or discussions. Rich variations of songs and dramaturgical diversity to create full-fledged concert immortal music in the style of which continue today dares few. It was also a concert that visually podkreslovalo just a simple Q, from which it emerged musicians as one of the last experience what it is like to be a living legend. Not only musically, but also demonstrated a dress billowing sedmdesátkovou decadence while osmdesátkový permed pompous rock. The combination of so crazy and brilliant at the same time as he can only Queen . The band that goes from the stage to the sounds of the national anthem. text: Alena Bílková , photo FB Queen

Google translated review: KOULE.CZQueen were in Prague great. But divine cream slíznul Adam Lambert Band Queen, it is key to a dignified continued retention of the relics of the deceased master Freddie Mercury. A lunatic with Adam Lambert to her (finally) doing, as demonstrated yesterday in Prague's O2 arena.
Recently the British Queen was in 2008. At that time, he brought the lead singer Paul Rogers , a tough biker, who often rode his emotions and could be likened to an iron pole in front of emotions O2 arena. That was not it. The original members of the band, guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor , would have to be blind and deaf to not notice. Therefore began to look for a new singer. But who can handle such a demanding repertoire and will also entertain?
The man was found. Adam Lambert , a former finalist talent contest, the solo rather to deny, but his live shows are very theatrical, like once the Freddie . And most importantly: endowed got a powerful voice and a huge range. "I'm not afraid to say that Adam has a better voice than Freddie," had even heard May. A Lambert agreed with his words and in Prague. From start to finish handing riveting performance without a single škobrnutí, prosecuted at the dances, grimaces, jokes, packaging looks into the audience and at the same time as if every note was equal to ten drops on his forehead.
Excel ajícími singing orgies natupírovaného youngster but the other band members refused to be intimidated. May showed a wide range of very long and almost neuhratelných solos with casual style of her own, and Roger Taylor took a drum battle with her own son Rufus . And when Roger stepped behind the microphone, his vocals while structural tube bending arena like that of Adam, but maybe song These Are The Days Of Our Lives with projected Farrokh Bulsara shots at you asked a man who really knew Freddie so he could deliver an appropriate emotional songs depth. Of the nearly třicetipoložkového list quality and masterfully performed songs is difficult to choose something that stood out. Although - writhing on the sofa-bed in the Killer Queen in respect of certain male visitors doubts about sexual orientation, You bet. And what about Under Pressure , which i sometimes strict security guards forced them to attempt to fine headbanging.
Just a pity that in the setlist did not get anything out of Adam's solo work. Many on visitors of by then it did not even occur that the singer goes with the Queen to disguise their own, in their words shallow music. If the old folks should be practiced His sweeping ballad Soaked or voice layered Voodoo , show it gone wrong. So, boys, next time definitely rehearse.

Three days ago, the magazine tweeted this report: “@adamlambert is in the lead for Most Eligible #OutBachelor! Have you voted yet?”
As of Monday, Adam was still out front and in the lead, holding steady at nearly 30% of the votes, ahead of Australian singer Troye Sivan, “Glee” actor Jonathan Groff, and singer Ricky Martin.

origin.misc.pagesuite.com/pdfdownload/0747643f-5495-44df-98c5-85ef376d64d0.pdfon tour LSi - February 2015 www.lsionline.co.uk41 QUEEN + Adam Lambert I pondered this show long after I had left the auditorium. Here’s a band that spawned one of the most successful jukebox musicals ever,We Will Rock You; with the exception of Mamma Mia!, probably the most successful. That show over the years has allowed the huge mass of Queen fans to saturate themselves in an ocean of nostalgia, yet here we are in 2015 and the latest tour by the actual band is filling arenas all over the world and garnering fantastic press. Partly it’s because they have, in Adam Lambert, found a worthy front man. I balked a few years back when the Queen and Paul Rogers promotion went out, two great talents undoubtedly, but a bit of a fish on a bicycle for my tastes. Lambert is much more the part, but make no mistake, he maybe an American Idol runner-up, but this is no pastiche Freddie Mercury karaoke show: Lambert is his own man. If I were to characterise his presence on stage, and Lambert won’t thank me for saying this, it would be somewhere between the prancing pimpernel of Prince, and Conchita Wurst, the bearded transvestite who won last years’ Eurovision Song Contest; that strange allure of startling vocal ability coupled with eyes that could render a thirteen year old public school boy naked and willing with one glance. He’s dangerous to watch, his performance teeters on the edge; one percentage point more on the camp gas pedal and the whole edifice would crash and burn. Actually, when I recollect the 1986 tour, Freddie had that about him too, but that’s not to underplay Lambert’s outstanding vocal ability, which is what makes it all OK. read more at link above and then there is that... Yeah, that tidbit was more than a little uncomfortable.
