Who was already queen never lose majesty. In a show of 2:20 a.m., the Queen opened late on Wednesday (16), in São Paulo, his tour in Brazil, including a highly anticipated show at Rock in Rio, 30 years after one of the most remarkable performances in the history of festival. Adam Lambert this time on vocals, guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor showed in the Ibirapuera Gymnasium the iconic British group aged only by white hair, but not the sound. Here's how was the show, which had sold out.
Distrust of the party
The presentation of the Queen + Adam Lambert can be divided into two stages: the initial ten minutes of distrust to hear the former "American Idol" on vocals, and the next two hours, nostalgia and celebration. With the impossible task of being in a place once was Freddie Mercury (1946-1991), Lambert shows personality and does not ugly. Comparisons are of course inevitable, but who decided to move the show paying attention to this lost time, as has happened in the group stage with Paul Rodgers and his voice torn a few years ago.

Mercury is unmatched, period. Lambert is clearly inspired by the singer for the construction of its theatrical image, but alone. Despite having one of the most powerful voices of the current pop scene, and show it on "Somebody to love" and "Who want`s to live forever," the 33-year-old singer is far from reaching the vibrato and Mercury reaches (search by "Queen + blues rock in rio" on YouTube to understand better) and does not seek to copy the idol (curiously, he came in and said goodbye to "American Idol" singing Queen songs).
"Surprise of the evening was the presence of` Ghost town`, Lambert, in the repertoire "
And just to have this awareness that Lambert does well its role, while print your peacock side on "I want to free break" in singing a sofa, and in all more than five costumes that displays throughout the presentation - there including several high heels, a golden microphone and a diamond crown (here a clear reference to Mercury, which appeared well and wrapped in a flag after the encore).

But he fails to steal the spotlight, since most of the palms are often directed to the remaining pair, which shows still have the hots for the stage and generosity to promote the solo work of Lambert: the surprise of the night was the presence of hit dance "Ghost town", Lambert, in the repertoire.
Double inspired
Queen + Adam Lambert is a great tribute to what was once one of the biggest rock bands in the world. It's almost a cover with two of the four original members, hence the grace of seeing a super show produced whose repertoire is the same as 30 years ago - check out the entire set list at the end of text.
At 68, Brian May continues in its role as "guitar hero" in long solos and a surprisingly good shape and disposition over 120 minutes. At one point, he pulled out a wooden selfie and had fun filming the public.
At 66, Roger Taylor no longer has the same breath, but wins in charisma and has the Son help Rufus on percussion and kitchen to display the famous weight of one of the most respected batteries rock`n'roll - the duel soil them with Taylor parent in front of the stage, is one of the highlights of the show.
Not to say that Freddie Mercury does not appear, the frontman of the eternal Queen appears twice on the big screen in exciting times: in "Love of my life", sung only by May on guitar, and during "Bohemian Rhapsody," which begins with Lambert, Mercury which passes all together, and ends with a final apotheotic.
