Mini translation of this review (for those with no time to lose!!) LOL
Writer is a big fan of Deacon's so his 2 main gripes were "humph the bass player is no John Deacon" LOL and "Humph!! no Queen without Freddie" so he's not inclined to like Adam (or Neil) & has gone into it believing it's a lame tribute band not the real thing. BUT OMG!!! He fell in love with Adam. And OMG!!! Brian was awesome!!! And OMG!!! Roger was terrific & QUeen hasn't gone anywhere! It's still here and the audience were blown away and one older dude was filming himself with one camera and the show with another ROFL. They missed Freddie's body but his spirit lived on through Adam & the band. The whole thing was Brilliant and the writer had multiple orgasms. (sadly Neil didn't win him over & he reckons he couldn't hear the bass. I bet Neil's throwing a super cool tantrum about that as we speak!!!)

Queen in Buenos Aires: reinvent itself in order to become self

The first thing to keep in mind to tell Queen in 2015 is that it is no longer Queen. That, as John Deacon -exbajista and cofounder of the band- "no Queen without Freddie" he said. But having said that, it would be unfair not to say that the show that the British gave in GEBA with Adam Lambert lived up an excellent tribute, with emotional flashes of Brian May and Roger Taylor -the two original members are still in the band-.
27-09-2015_buenos_aires_la_banda_britnicaEn the cold night of Buenos Aires, near 10, the wait became excitement and adrenaline in nostalgia, when rang "One Vision" (from the album A Kind of Magic). All I could think so prejudiced about Adam Lambert and his role as Freddie remplazante be immediately fell overboard, as the young talent emerged from American Idol did not come to replace Freddie, but also try: da best himself to do a show quality, with great versions of legendary songs.
A "One vision" he did "Another one bites the dust" and that the first great intrigue arises: What happened with the bear in this new version of Queen? The classic album The game sounds diluted. Where is the bass? Not that I hear: you do not feel. And it's something that will happen overnight. -the Bassist Neil Fairclough was training-clarito this regard: "It sometimes happens that the low is most noticeable if you are playing badly if it is not." The truth is that either out of respect for John Deacon, try not to stand or artistic decision, all bass lines that made Queen powerful sound at a time. The same applies in "A Kind of Magic", "I want to break free", "Do not stop me now" and "Under pressure" songs in which the low was not a mere accompaniment.
But the show is more than that. Without having even been 10 songs, an eternal and gray Brian May, with the hair intact, loose-that the Red Special guitar built with his dad and that accompanied life in every song- takes charge of " Love of my life "from a 12-string acoustic guitar and makes the 25 thousand people who tread GEBA enjoying remain silent. And averaging the climax, the screen image throws Freddie, a synchronized video in which he sings the final song and tears started in all people. Queen's playing tonight.
Then it will be a place for the show: a shy only with low participation of Roger Taylor playing with sticks battery on an electric bass; Battery duel between Taylor himself and percussionist of the band, Rufus Tiger Taylor, his son. And then orgasm. Behind the public, the passage of the train and the moon peeking through the meantime left the clouds clear, extra functions as a staging up to the show.

"Tonight we're going to be exhausted," he promises. And not fail. Whispers what will happen and then to love, unarmed leaves on the ground, please stop asking. Its an animal. If there are variations on obscenity and pornography, one of which occurs in the Palermo night when May caresses the guitar frets. Almost without sweat makes anyone who has questioned whether it was worth going to Queen with Adam Lambert cleared his doubts and know that yes, it was necessary. Brilliant.
While everything happens and Queen yes, Queen, the band that rocked around the world and exploded hundreds of estadios- no room for the absurd in the audience. As usual a while now, going to a concert is an invitation to watch hundreds (thousands?) Of phones taking pictures and filming something that might be outside enjoying the lens. The exercise of going to YouTube to find a video of the show I attended one seems to have become fashionable and, by contrast, won the court the selfies, videos out of focus and with lousy sound.
So, a few steps from the central column GEBA field, a man -45 years using two phones simultaneously. Namely: one records what he sees through a giant screen and with the other films himself, in a clear sign that he wants to cherish the memory of him is the same as a spectator Queen, perhaps in scale of values as important to be left to go through May riffs and drum beats Taylor, two guys who came from the land where everything blooms shaped rock.
27-09-2015_buenos_aires_la_banda_britnica (4) But that's the part of the decor not seen. On stage other things happen and starts sounding "Do not stop me now". People Korea in a loose English papers, but adhered to the Saxon Phonics, the verses of the chorus with the same effusiveness with which a hymn is sung. Is it not a rock anthem?
The rest of the show -26 issues- were a tour of Queen classics with a nod to the fans playing songs that are not part of any 'Greatest hits' as "In the laps of the gods ... revisited" or "words Love (The Words Of Love) ", to name just a couple. Special mention for "I Want It All", with a colossal May that transported the audience to the London scene of the late 80s and "Killer Queen" with a Lambert proud that left no doubts about his choice to be who Mercury sing songs. For his part and from the battery, a bearded Roger Taylor commanded his captain look of a night that just missed Freddie's body but not his spirit.
