Queen thrilled the Argentine public for the third time

By Matthew Braga SPECIAL FOR REPUBLIC
As part of his tour "Do not stop them now," the surviving members of rock royalty Brian May and Roger Taylor gave a concert of over two hours in the GEBA Stadium, with Adam Lambert.
For the young singer, the show marked his debut in Argentina. But the relationship of "Queen" with the nearby shore goes back almost 35 years ago when, in their original lineup (with the late Freddie Mercury and John Deacon retired), the group made their first performances in the country during the tour "The Game".
"When we came in 1981, do not imagine that we would become such good friends for life here," said Brian May before a euphoric public. In a moment of great intimacy, guitarist sang "Love of my life," a song from the early years of Queen Latin America undertook to make an anthem. To issue the final verses of the projection screen joined Mercury. The excited audience cheered and joined chanting.
Another of the most moving moments was when May sang "Words of Love," a song he composed inspired by the Argentine public, after that first visit. "I'll need some help, because I sing this song every seven years," joked the musician. And certainly the last time this issue was interpreted in 2008 when they appeared for the second time in Argentina during his tour "Rock The Cosmos" with Paul Rodgers. While "Words of Love" is not part of the standard repertoire of Queen, it was inevitable for the setlist of Buenos Aires.
The staging was as exuberant as it has always been historically Queen Shows. An impressive display of lights of all kinds, a catwalk that stretched between the public and a huge screen in the form of letter "Q" formed the scenery. In addition, May proved to be "cool" when he filmed a video from your selfie selfie dimensional stick with public background. "You are cornered" he said in Spanish, which caused laughter from the audience.
The two rock legends and former American Idol finalist were in good company on stage. Neil Fairclough had the difficult task of covering the vacancy left by John Deacon on bass, Rufus Taylor (son of Roger) accompanied by percussion and occasionally battery (when his father was going to do lead vocals), and veteran Spike Edney , accompanying Queen since the time of Mercury, he took over again keyboards.
Fans of all ages chanted and danced each topic, with an energy and intensity that shocked the singer, virgin of Argentine public. "You are crazy! I like! "Lambert said before playing the classic" Crazy Little Thing Called Love ". The list is entirely formed by Queen hits as "A Kind of Magic" (in the voice of Taylor), "Another one bites the dust", "Bohemian Rhapsody" (again including Mercury on screen) and "Killer Queen" except for a version of "Ghost Town" Lambert.
The singer stressed that it is an "honor" to sing the songs of Queen and acknowledged not knowing what would become of him if he had not been Freddie Mercury. "We're going to celebrate together to Freddie Mercury" proposed to the public, making clear that it is by far pretend to replace it.
But of course, no lack of comparisons between public comments. And not only for Mercury but also with Paul Rodgers, singer who accompanied Queen on tour 2008. And while accounting for taste there is nothing written, it is undeniable that the interpretation of Lambert was superb, with an impeccable vocal.
On leaving the stage, the audience left more than satisfied with the show. Some still humming the tune of "We are the champions". Others continued the debate "Adam Lambert and Paul Rodgers". But a lucky few out there with a wistful smile-and some Canas, saying "I saw them three times."

MUSIC> QUEEN AND ADAM LAMBERT PLAYED IN GEBA STADIUM TO 25 THOUSAND PEOPLE
Much more than an exercise in nostalgia
Brian May and Roger Taylor commanded a compact concert and showed that the gray hairs have not removed them enthusiastically. The list of topics, full of winning horses, found an excellent performer in Lambert, avoiding great error to imitate Freddie Mercury.
By Eduardo Fabregat
No way around it: when the show is coming to an end and Freddie Mercury appears on the screen to sing a verse of "Bohemian Rhapsody" in perfect sync with the band, a bittersweet feeling takes hold of the viewer. Clearly it is impossible to fill the huge shoes musician and showman who died in 1991, but in that scene is too obvious. For Queen, nothing will ever be the same. Freddie was too large. And this project of Brian May and Roger Taylor only the dignity of a great cover band led by two guys who, nearly seventy, still have the sacred fire and the ability to show why they left they are also pillars of the beast founded in 1970.
So: people crammed into play GEBA had an attitude bully? Nothing of that. The 2015 model of the Queen surpassed all expectations, and even improved the presentation of 2008 with Paul Rodgers in Velez. And this, although some are loath to admit, by the presence of Adam Lambert, singer whose condition American Idol finalist can awaken more than a prejudice. The boy not only has to take the necessary voice of Queen classics, but also and above all avoid imitating Freddie. And in the cold night in Palermo even he had great moments, like his impeccable rendition of "Killer Queen" fanning into a chair or the remarkable performance in "Somebody to Love", a challenge for any singer. Even the luxury of including an own theme, "Ghost Town", which passes like a sigh and for which no protest was allowed. With grace and style, Lambert wisely takes the place of who, as he told the audience, he is grateful for the opportunity to sing such repertoire.
Because, of course, that was the main attraction of the third visit: a list composed almost exclusively of winning horses. When defining it, May and Taylor left out the debut and latest album of the band (with Freddie in life), and found a perfect balance of its first golden decade and some of his best albums after 1982. With nods to most recalcitrant as "In the lap of the gods ... revisited" and "Seven Seas of Rhye" fan, stainless Queen forcible unlocking titles like "Fat Bottomed Girls", "Another one bites the dust", "Under Pressure", "I want to break free "," Tie Your Mother Down "," Do not stop me now "(sparking a party crowd that carpeted the field)," One Vision "," Crazy Little Thing Called Love "," I want it all "and, of course, the immovable end combo of" We Will Rock You "and" We are the champions ", this time without" God save the Queen "as a farewell. How to resist such a barrage, which represented the best aspects of the English band?
And bowling owners know everything. With hair as always but now completely silver, Brian May does what he pleases with his Red Special, a spacecraft that exempts him from using pedals, but above all a unique sound instrument executed by hands that still combine skill and good taste in every small settlement. He had a fit of special wisdom to leave "Love of my life" exclusively in charge: Song A Night at the Opera is too iconic, Mercury brings so many memories that are best left to Lambert out of the equation. And Taylor, which now bearded Papa Smurf, touring took his own son but also showed he could still beat them to patches with power, and left the bench to sing flawlessly "A Kind of Magic". Both also staged moments of excess in the form of guitar and drum solos, but every fan of Queen knows that it is always included in the package of the concert.
GEBA Was it mere nostalgia act? Yes and no. With what is left of a key band of English pop rock history, Brian and Roger mounted a compact and more than satisfactory performance, honoring the legend of Queen. Sure melancholy so it will never be displayed when Freddie comes. But the 25,000 happy souls who walked past midnight Pacific could provide evidence that, even so, the game was worth it. And more than that.

red panda asked: 1. cassie, I remember you mentioned that Adam is using his lower range more. Personally, I love it. Does it also serve to protect his voice, maybe less strain? I know you mentioned how incredible his stamina and how amazing that the level, the quality of his singing was maintained through such a demanding concert (Buenos Aires).
I love the lower register, too. Warm and chocolate-y. It provides a nice contrast to his higher notes. While it is very pleasing, I do not think it is as distinctive and remarkable as notes in the 4th and 5th octave. That is where his wonderful, pure, crystal ring becomes prominent. That clear, round resonance makes his voice float above the instruments and bounce around the walls of the arena.
As to straining his voice, when he is singing lightly like in the first verse of Save Me, it is like skating atop smooth, clear ice with a thin layer of water on it. It takes almost no effort at all. Well, except that if you have ever ice skated, you know that sharp skate blades combined with such ice conditions requires a very delicate, perfect muscle balance. A little error in technique, and you slip and fall flat on your face. In Adam's case, tho', using the proper technique to produce that wonderful sound in second nature after so many years.
Singing with power and intensity, at full voice, on those huge glory notes does put more stress on the vocal cords. He uses wonderful technique and doesn't really strain them at all, but he has learned how to do the most without relying on glory notes to impress. It is about careful technique, discretion, balance, and proper care of the voice, all of which Adam takes very seriously. It also helps that Queen has such marvelous songs for him to sing. He doesn't have to manufacture glory passages to impress, because the songs are impressive by themselves. Queen's reputation also lends itself to theatrical stagings which Adam does so well. That relieves him of having to rely on just the voice to wow the audience. Plus, the audience is primed to love Queen, if not Adam. After a few numbers, the audience realizes that the band, the repertoire and the audience are in good hands with Adam at the helm, and they are ready to love anything he does, glory notes or not.
Still, the QAL performance is exhausting for Adam as a singer. The muscle control required throughout his body to produce those sounds is demanding. Add to that, he rarely stands still in one place for more than 30 seconds. He covers that stage and the thrust forward and backward, side to side. It would be interesting to attach a pedometer to his mic pack, and see how much he travels in a 2+ hour show. Keeping the emotional intensity and rapport with the audience takes great concentration and effort. Very occasionally we will get a video that shows him at the side of the stage sipping water, or upstage with his back to the audience, and we can see him "slip" momentarily out of his performance persona. You can see the fatigue showing. Then, he turns around, walks back to the front of the stage, and the energy he radiates is palpable.
Back when he first came to public awareness in Idol, Adam was known as the guy with spiky hair, eyeliner, and black nail polish who screamed out really high notes. There were Adam parodies and imitations based on those features. While a little of that reputation remains, Adam has become a much more well-rounded performer on stage. He may not go for as many stratospheric wails as before, but it is because he has found many more options to evoke the passions of his audience and convey the emotions of a song.
I think that Adam has expanded his bag of tricks to impress the live audience. For example, several interviews asked him about his ability to hold a note for a long time. Now we see him do that to provoke cheers fro the audience. His call and responses, and his banter are also greatly improved. And his voice....... ah, his voice is sounding better and better and richer and more nuanced and more unique and stronger and with greater depth and more poignant and ..... more!
So, red panda, nothing to worry about vocally with that man. He's got it!

It is another challenge. As if after more than 40-year career still they need to prove something. Do not care. We assume, believe in what they do and take on new challenges. Queen, accompanied by Adam Lambert, were presented at the GEBA Stadium in Buenos Aires. Before a stadium with almost all tickets sold. This time, the legendary British band will perform in a new South American tour, called "Do not Stop them now." Where already visited Brazil, you do so in Chile and Argentina apart from Buenos Aires, it will also act for the first time in Cordoba. Adam Lambert, who is Queen lead vocalist since 2012, said that " there is no possible competition with Freddie. He was incredible. He was an incomparable singer and a great composer. I would have never occurred to imitate . " The singer, who was under the scrutiny of many fans , stunned the audience aa. He showed a display of charisma, vocal versatility, theatricality and a mastery of the stage.The Set inevitable included classics like "Another One Bites the Dust", "I Want to Break Free", "Radio Ga Ga", "Fat Bottomed Girls", "One Vision", "Tie Your Mother Down" among others. As very precious items for fans not as well known as "In The Lap of the Gods", "Seven Seas of Rhye". Adam Lambert Stylish Dress' 70s glam, "he fanned during the song" Killer Queen "and his conclusion, he spat on the delighted audience Champagne. A very emotional show, was when Brian May singing with the audience "Love of My Life" and surprised "Words of Love" from the album "Hot Space" which, as he himself acknowledged, "was made here" . Roger Taylor, meanwhile excellently played "A Kind of Magic". It also had the pleasure of "duel" with his son Rufus battery involved, and did a did a duet on "Under Pressure" with Lambert. Two peaks of a show impeccable, were "Somebody to Love" and "Who Wants To Live For Ever", where Adam Lambert used the most vocal and histrionic skills. The final part, had to "Bohemian Rhapsody" in a "duet" with Freddie Mercury Lambert, who in various segments of the topic could see it on the screen playing the song. And precisely on that topic, theatrically speaking, would seem like Mercury, gave him his "blessing" to his companions to keep making music with the group. "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions" close a powerful, emotional and highly recommended show, whose next stop Orfeo Superdome in Cordoba on Sunday 27 September.
