"There is only one Freddie Mercury. I am not here to replace him; I want to celebrate the songs with you! "Adam Lambert is still well aware of his position within the current Queen. The American singer and the British rock band are tonight on Dutch soil for the second time in eight months.
Adam Lambert may be humble when it comes to Freddie Mercury, but at the same time he also has the bravado needed to fill those unprecedented frontman shoes. That makes him - in combination with his great singing qualities - the ideal person to stand with Queen on the stage and will undoubtedly be the reason that Brian May and Roger Taylor have been with him for six years now.
Short absence Tonight the trio will enter the Netherlands for the third time; late last year the band was still in the Ziggo Dome. This time Ahoy is at the service and although he has to contend with his Amsterdam competitor on many fronts, it is very emotional to see Queen at a location with so much history for the band. A room where Freddie also stood many times. "We've been coming here for 300 years," Brian May throws out casually.
In terms of show, there has been little change compared to the performance in 2017. The robot of the News Of The World cover still plays a visual role and the set list is almost the same. Yet there are some new things to hear: Tear It Up opens the evening, Seven Seas Of Rhye is back and somewhat surprisingly Play The Game is played, which can count on a lot of enthusiasm. Also the solo number of Lambert has been redeemed: was that Whataya Want From Me last time; this time it was chosen for Lucy, which was much better matched by the Queen-numbers.
Hits, hits and hits Yet it is mainly the classics that can count on the most enthusiasm. And of course there are so many of them at Queen, which is filled with three quarters of the evening. So let's not have a whine about it: of course it would be nice for the real fans to hear an integral version of Queen II and / or Sheer Heart Attack, but that is simply not realistic. Let's just be happy that there is so much life and energy in the band.
That Roger Taylor's energy may be a little less, turns out to be mercilessly played by the percussionist during the Drum Battle. Better is Brian May's solo moment, whose Last Horizon is supported by a beautiful light show. The fact that a bet of Now I'm Here, which is suggested in the successive solo, does not turn out anyway, should then be increased. Especially because after that a final song is used that we never heard before with Lambert: The Show Must Go On. And what does he know there to make a great, emotionally charged performance. It is the highlight of the evening, and then Radio Ga Ga, We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions have not even come to the turn ...

THE HAPPIEST GLAMBERT @inadamated 1h1 hour ago I feel like I’d reach the sky. No drawings, no pictures can reflect your unique beauty. Every single move on the paper when I’m drawing you, is really important. I put a lot of heart into every fan art and hope someone can see it. Thanks for being my motivation @adamlambert ❤️

QUEEN + ADAM LAMBERT - The report of the concert @ Mediolanum Forum, Assago (M) Martino Brambilla Pisoni Martino Brambilla Pisoni - 28 June 2018
"The show must continue ..." It seems to us that a well-known frontman of a well-known English band was singing something about these four little words. To you too, right? So why not carry on the story and the legend, continuing to fill (almost ... but do not touch this button) the buildings and stadiums around the world? He is gone, unfortunately. But there are two of them still and do not spare a moment between solos, sly smiles to the public audience and poses immortalized by the brush of the goddess Musica. They are Brian May and Roger Taylor ... they are Queen! Someone will smile satisfied from the upper floors, enjoying night after night the extraordinary performances of the excessively excessive "American boy" Adam Lambert, one who has nothing to envy to anyone. Start shaking the stage boards with 'Tear It Up'? Well, he does it his own way, without mimicking him and starting the great one at a show literally uncovered by the steel arms of the romantically frightening Frank The Robot. We have already talked about the play of light given birth by the crazy and reasoned genius of Rob Sinclair - a man who put the hand in the ceremonies of the London Olympics in 2012 - and the stage set up by Ric Lipson, another one that in his curriculum can boast - in addition to the Beijing Olympics - collaborations with people like Pink Floyd, U2 and Rolling Stones? Well, it is not easy to transcribe on cold (virtual) paper the emotions we experienced during space only of a Brian May projected directly into the solar system or in the middle of a visual storm that kissed the resounding test of Adam on the immortal 'Who Wants To Live Forever ', and we do not even try. Monday we "simply" witnessed the celebration of the best live band in the world, a band that can afford to re-present in the same lineup classics as' Under Pressure ',' Bohemian Rhapsody '- the most beautiful song ever composed according to myself -' I Want To Break Free 'and' We Are The Champions' ... and we have not even named them all! Summarizing: Roger and Brian are two old lions who can still get excited in front of generations of fans, Adam Lambert a frontman who does not aspire to become the leader of Queen, but who has two balls and a personality that would fill the infinite egos of a good half of the world's singers. Ah, let's not forget about Edney, Fairclough and Warren, respectively the keyboards, bass and percussion of the band. Their precision and their choirs have helped to launch the technical level of the exhibition directly in space, perhaps clinging to the good shoulders of the good Frank. These are the Queen today, these will be the Queen tomorrow ... let the past relive through memories and images not yet faded. Today, music still has something to say.
