Translated from French Last night in Paris… Queen & Adam Lambert  Last night in Paris… Queen & Adam LambertThe English came to put their crown back in a sold-out Accor Arena for three years. We and were.
In London, they performed for ten sold-out evenings in front of the 20,000 spectators at the O2 Arena. Last night, for their big comeback in Paris, Queen andAdam Lambertcould have afforded four full Accor Arenas because demand was so strong when tickets went on sale three years ago. But His Majesty had decided to settle for a single date, in front of 12,000 spectators won over in advance.
At 8:15 p.m., where the immense crown has the stage at the same time, a set resembling an Italian theater will be unveiled. Four boxes are available at the finish-stage welcoming 24 spectators who have each paid 1200 euros for each other at the heart of the event. Plus it's Brian May's silhouette in Chinese shadow that appears in the background with the chords of "Now I'm here" before leading to the huge projection that crosses the room.
All the places in the Accor Arena were sold out in record time.
Paris Rugit and Adam Lambert can start his charming number: dressed in a top hat, tattooed arms and impeccable voice, he must be himself, make people forget Freddie Mercury while paying homage to him. A complex challenge that he will brilliantly reveal to you throughout the 2:15 program. But unlike the 2015 show - they then performed at the Zenith, Queen did not bet everything on its new singer. Brian May like Roger Taylor will be much more investigated than he and seven years old. May slings angry riffs when Taylor is the perfect metronome. While Lambert competes in craftiness on "Killer Queen" it is to better present himself to his playmates.
“I have the honor, the immense privilege to be on stage tonight with legends. Gentlemen Brian May, Roger Taylor and of course Freddie Mercury. Paris applauds the charismatic leader who died in 1992, remaining forty years later, a true hero in the hearts of fans. On the repertoire side Brian May and Roger Taylor are clearly pleased by offering in this first part of the show titles from the first period of the group, the most rock and the most flamboyant as proven by this "Don't stop me now" performed with passion. The Accor Arena is transformed after the first track into an animated jukebox and a Roger Taylor-style ovation when the mobile phones come out after the microphone to perform "I'm in love with my car".
Adam Lambert on a motorcycle appeared in the room.
No sooner do we think of blowing than here is already Lambert sitting on a motorcycle that appeared in the center of the room. Fans of flirtatious smiles and glances at lovers, Lambert supports the comparison with Mercury. Because rather than trying to imitate the original singer, Lambert followed in his footsteps, all in escapades and effusions, attracting the highest notes, changing outfits regularly - but always glittering. “The next one you know it” he says to introduce “Another one bites the dust” and its so recognizable bass intro. The more it's "I want it all" that fits in an epic version, that impresses the most. Never sung in public during his lifetime by Freddie Mercury, “I want it all” becomes a thread of the show a piece of bravery lifting up the whole room. And ends with an outrageously crazy single from May.
While Bercy reprimands his spirits, this same May settles in turn in front of the stage. "Good evening Paris, good evening France, it's been too long since we've seen each other". Armed with an acoustic guitar, May launches "Love of my life" sung entirely with the public. And at the last minute, Freddie Mercury appears on the giant screen, stunning the audience. May pays here the most beautiful of tributes to her deceased friend, a moment of grace and incredible communion. As he starts "39", the technical team gathers discreetly at the side of the stage. There, while May holds the mike, the men in the shadows start a little choreography, as funny as ser. Because yes the show of Queen and Adam Lambert keeps despite all its bombast has a family character.
Brian May and Adam Lambert in complete complicity.
It is Roger Taylor who brings May his six-string for “This are the days of our lives”. Between them we feel the obvious complicity of two old friends of 72 and 74 years old who have gone through a lot of hardships and are amazed to still be there. The custodians despite themselves of a heritage much more important than their respective persons. Taylor like May does not play the leader. They are above all musicians, as May shows on “A kind of Magic using”, for the occasion, a guitar that crackles with fire. Useless gadget more than still thrills the crowd. And when Spike Edney (the man who has held the keyboards for 40 years) plays the intro to “I want to break free” Paris no longer hides his happiness.
Adam Lambert can start his charming number: dressed in a top hat, tattooed arms and impeccable voice. Behind him and on screen is metronome drummer Roger Taylor.
It is 9:52 p.m. when Brian May plays on a platform launched just now. Either a single stretched over nearly 10 minutes, which he plays in the middle of planets, himself - perfect illusion - having landed on an asteroid. If the forced passage can have progressive accents, it nevertheless remains a little painful, breaking the dynamics of the concert. But Brian May is so radiant that we easily forgive him this personal delirium. Especially since he swings the riff of “tie your mother down” with unfeigned joy. “Show must go on” suffers from its pompous and pompous side, but “Radio Gaga” allows a new moment of communion. “Bohemian Rhapsody” finally majestically in love thanks to Adam Lambert, totally investigated in the most famous and least obvious piece of the repertoire.
At the reminder, Freddie Mercury reappears on the screen to make the crowd sing. Before letting his accomplices end the evening with the eternal “We wil rock you” and “We are the Champions”. The magic of an extraordinary repertoire, the grain of madness of youth and the experience of patrons that allow Queen and Adam Lambert to keep the crown for another hell of a lot of years. What did John Deacon – the original bassist of the band I retire from public life after 1997 – think of this long reign? We dream of him asking the question...
