Express & StarNight of hits as Queen + Adam Lambert rock the ArenaIt was January 19, 1991, I was nine-years-old and watching ITV’s chart show.
It was then that I heard Innuendo for the first time, a song which resonated with me due to the spectacular video and the wonderment it created in my mind of the words and the song.
That was the first time I consciously remember hearing a Queen song and they fast became my favourite band, even if their time was short as an active band due to Freddie Mercury’s ill health and death in November that year.
31 years later, I’m going to see Queen for the very first time as they come to the Utilita Arena in Birmingham on Saturday for the first of two nights as part of the Rhapsody tour and, if we are being honest, I’m as excited as a 40-year-old man as I was as that nine-year-old hearing Innuendo for the first time.
What makes this work is that while it will never be the Queen I first heard and devoured the entire back catalogue of music of, it is a wonderful tribute to the spirit of that band, with Brian May still a guitar wizard and Roger Taylor playing those drums like someone half his age.
Complimenting this is the wonderfully gifted Adam Lambert, who doesn’t pretend to be Freddie Mercury, but carries the same range and has the same on-stage presence to bring these classics to life.
Combine the youthful exuberance of Adam Lambert, a supporting cast of musicians on percussion, piano and bass and the experience of the members of Queen and you have a night of the biggest and best hits of one of the greatest rock bands.
Starting out with an orchestral version of Innuendo and a powerful opener of Now I’m Here, the sold-out crowd are treated to a night of hits, complemented by a stunning light show and video display on the stage.
The two-and-a-half hour show packed in a set of hits spanning 16 years, from I’m In Love With My Car to Days Of Our Lives, with lesser-known songs such as Lap of the Gods being added alongside hits like A Kind Off Magic, Radio Gaga, I Want It All (one of my favourites) and Who Wants To Live Forever.
