More PF fans?
I hear they got good reviews that night. Glad to hear Nick's back behind the kit again, and what a setlist indeed! Taking people back to the early psychedelic days with the pre-Dark Side stuff. I reckon some of these songs must've been their live debuts.
^ haha ! Genius.
I was so happy to hear about this series of shows. The band is rock solid, and what a setlist !
I hope he takes this show around the world. He could easily sell out theatres doing this.

I suppose it is better than him calling himself Pink Floyd+ and pretending to be something he isn't.
He is the drummer?! The luckiest drumming gig ever after the AC/DC drummer.

Nice jab at Brian and Roger.
Nick Mason didn't write the songs. Brian May wrote a solid chunk of Queen's material and started the band with Roger. One out of four members is a long way from half of a band.
But honestly - it's 2018, and plenty of bands are keeping their old names after a ton of membership changes. There are even two bands calling themselves Yes now, and of the eight guys in those two bands, there is one original member.
So maybe it's time that you whiners just moved on and let people who started bands do what they want to do with them.

I think you might've fallen and hit your head, posting an obvious truism like this and all. He's done what he's supposed to do - gone out under a different name with a different band to play some (relatively) deep cuts, in venues that are more or less appropriate to the level of public demand for such a gig.
He's not even playing Comfortably Numb!
Maybe I fell and hit MY head but I'm finding it difficult to imagine what the issue here is. Short of touring under a false name and wearing a wig and not telling anyone where he's playing, I can't see how he could make it any less of a cash grab.

Technically, Brian and Roger (and Tim) started Smile, not Queen. Queen (as a brand, name and logo) was Frederick's idea.
I personally wouldn't mind even either one of them calling himself Queen, and I wouldn't mind anyone calling him out on that and saying 'no, that's not Queen'. Both sides are acceptable.
Loads of people love the gigs with Adam, so I'm glad they're getting something they enjoy. Loads of people wouldn't attend said gigs, and I'm glad about that too.

Nick wrote Speak To Me ;)
He even provided lead vocals on some tracks (Corporal Clegg f.e.)
He was very important for their live sound. Especially the 1970-1972 shows are amazing. Their best live period, IMHO.
