Thrilled for all of the Queen and Adam coverage. Fantastic performances. Brian, Adam and Roger look so happy to be back on stage performing and fans are loving them. Rock on QAL for as long as you like!!

Adam is always charming and his voice always superb - but I think last night was perhaps his greatest night ever as FRONTMAN.
From the videos it seems he took it up several notches and the constant interplay with the audience paid dividends in their response.

CONCERT REVIEW: Queen, with Adam Lambert in fold, stay relevant in Toronto
The group played to a packed house at Scotiabank Arena
 Queen and Adam Lambert
Scotiabank Arena
Sunday night
RATING: ***1/2 (3 and a half out of four )
The show must go on.
And so it has for Queen, who lost their exceptional lead singer Freddie Mercury back in 1991 after forming in 1970.
Most recently, the veteran British rockers — still going strong with founding guitarist Brian May, 76, and drummer Roger Taylor, 74, in the lineup — have found success again with powerhouse singer Adam Lambert lending his massive pipes to the group.
In fact, Lambert, 41, reminded the Toronto crowd at Scotiabank Arena on Sunday night that he’d been with the group for 10 years now and thanked them and the audience for giving him “a shot.”
He needn’t have thanked anyone.
The two-hour-and-15-minute concert, which came to glorious life courtesy of a large, multi-screen stage with two opera boxes filled with lucky fans on either side, opened with Radio Ga Ga — which would be revived again during the encore — and Lambert was in exceptional voice from the get-go.
The American Idol runner-up also looked pretty amazing as he’s clearly never met a sequined suit and platform boot he didn’t like with his ever-changing hair currently bleached blonde and short with a tuft of black at the front.
Lambert proved pretty good at hamming it up too, whether it was lying back seductively on a rotating motorcycle that rose out of the front of the catwalk during Bicycle Race or pretending to drink champagne and put on makeup while singing Killer Queen.

Ok, I guess I will state what everyone must be thinking - where did the last half star go? What would they have to do to get a **** out of ****? Was it because Jesus was not on the microphone and his mother was not playing bass? :D |

Lol, Kryptoman, either it was the absence of Jesus, or the writer of the review had to make sure to deduct that half star because Freddie wasn't there...
Probably could go either way

Yup, I think we all wondered about that half star. I always just blame it on the fact that Freddie wasn't there!
