Legend slot contenders when the options run out.

 

I think they'd put on a stellar set. Shame it's only half of Queen now.

Adam Lambert doesn't try to be Freddie, he does it his own way. He's also very humble when talking about it, he said every time they play he thinks how lucky he is to share the stage with such legends. He's a showman and they do put on a stellar set.

Maybe after Michael steps down and hands over officially to Emily.

That being said, I'm not sure about Brian May, he can't move about the stage like he used to.

Only 7 months back he was still running around the place like a Dave Grohl.

And for his solo songs he pulls up a stool and talks about how he's getting too old for this. To be fair he could have been not feeling too well the couple of times I've seen him.

[CaledonianGonzo]

The stool's an old prop.  Freddie and him always used to do it for the acoustic numbers.

Ha ha! Now I can follow CalGon on the Twitter.

Queen would be immense, Adam Lambert in a pink tux singing Killer Queen whilst sat on top of a giant robot head is something that’ll live with me forever.

I dont get queen. I never have. The odd tune, but on the whole they feel completely souless to me.

[Madyaker]

Who thought theyd have a stage curated by earache records? I wouldn't be ruling anything out, bar bands that are never touring again.

Elton John

Prince?

Joni Mitchell

Madonna

Love of my Life live is up there with THE greatest singalongs ever.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Fuck yeah. An all time jam.  Still a highlight of the current Queen and Adam Lambert incarnation.

Agreed, although I always preferred the piano arrangement of the studio version.

Nah, it's all about the Live Killers version.

The Strokes

Getting emosh 'ere.

I was in the crowd at this one ?

[Gnomicide]

Even just Brian...

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

I never saw Queen Queen, but I've seen the Adam Lambert version twice and it's the dope shit. Last year they came on playing The 7 Seas of Goddamn Rhye and it was one of the most glorious things I've ever heard.

This should be on the farm. During the 80’s you’d go to Glasto and watch the likes of Working Week or Lloyd Cole or whoever, and go to arenas or stadiums to see the likes of Queen and it seemed that never the twain should meet. Now they seem an obvious choice, and one glaring  omission from the farm, but it doesn’t seem any more likely. Such a shame.

The show with AL I saw at Hammersmith felt like a much more authentic live Queen experience than those I saw with Paul Rodgers singing. They came on with an updated version of the ‘pizza oven’ lighting rig from the Live Killers era and launched into a number of early Queen rockers, fab stuff.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Paul Rodgers can do one, the tank top wearing old gammon.

I was stood thinking "They'll never play it cos it's a bit niche but it'd be fucken rad if they rolled out Play The Game"  - and then they only went and did an ALMIGHTY rendition of it.

I see they've dropped Stone Cold Crazy from their sets for the time being. That sort of nonsense needs to stop if they're to grace the pyramid. Brighton Rock needs a full rendition too.

Man alive. I've gone off down a Queen live YouTube rabbit hole thanks to you two. It would be one for the ages. Currently on the 82 set from Milton Keynes, I saw them on the same tour at Elland Road and it was amazing, same set list on the farm would be stunning.

Neutral Milk Hotel.

Guns n Roses.

NWA.

No mention of R.E.M. or Tool though, so it's all good.
