Review: Queen and Adam Lambert created a rock ‘n’ roll force of nature at AAC That the band who sings “We Are the Champions” acknowledged the Texas Rangers the day after winning the World Series in its first of two Dallas performances was supremely serendipitous. If only I hadn’t missed that, but that’s later. The Rhapsody Tour stopped in at American Airlines Center for two nights and brought with it a tsunami of hits that exploded with energy thanks to the dynamic duo of Queen and Adam Lambert.
The primarily baby boomer audience was rowdy before the band took the stage ready, so when the lights went down, the stadium roared. Animated mechanical projections hid the band but teased what was behind and as the main screen lifted, Lambert, Brian May and Roger Taylor launched with an earthquake opening medley of “Machines (Or ‘Back to Humans’),” “Radio Ga Ga” and “Hammer to Fall.” They brought it so hard at the opening that it felt like a finale number and was a true indication of things to come.
All the familiar songs were there like a greatest hits compilation. “Another One Bites the Dust” followed the opening which led to even more enthusiasm. Mixed with dazzling visuals and the extended stage, Queen/AL whipped up the audience into a frenzy in minutes.
Declaring 10 years with the band, Adam Lambert’s skills at handling these classic rock tunes was a kind of magic while also breathing a new light into them. His voice was strong and clear and certainly a worthy heir to the Freddie Mercury spot. He told the audience he felt the spirit of Mercury but his own performance style and presence was entertaining to watch. With fabulous costumes, platform boots and a whole lotta glitter, Lambert was as much his own artist as he was “filling in.”

twitter.com/Loud_HailerMag/status/1720302526774288531 The Rhapsody Tour started back in 2019, shortly after the release of the movie, Bohemian Rhapsody. It is impressively currently on its fifth leg, and Chicago was lucky enough for it to come to town for a second time, for two nights. The audience included lifelong fans, newcomers excited to finally get to see the iconic rock royalty for the first time, and people who had travelled all of the way from the UK since there are no local dates scheduled. It’s startling to realize that Adam Lambert has now been collaborating with Queen for over a decade. He has well and truly been welcomed into the fold and accepted by the Queen fans as part of the band. Obviously, he will never replace Freddie Mercury, and he’s not trying to. Freddie is still very much a part of the live shows, and Lambert is clearly very respectful of his place within the band. He is also respectful of the music and the band’s legacy while adding his own personality and flourishes to the performance. It’s difficult to imagine anyone else filling this role. Throughout the show, he would step back from the spotlight, passing the chalice to either Brian May, Roger Taylor, or even the late great Freddie Mercury. This was best demonstrated during the performance of “Bohemian Rhapsody” which featured the original recordings and video. Lambert would come in to add additional vocals alongside the original version without overpowering it.
