Fan stories
Written by Comments from a fan forum (translated by Alison Sesi)
'Cedrico' remarked that Paul Rodgers was really more at ease than at the Paris gig.
'Mitch' remarked that Brian's speeding up on 'Last Horizon' was stunning, and praised Roger's technique - intensity and speed of drumming - which is the best he's heard from him. Super 'slap bass solo' from Danny on 'Radio Ga Ga'...
More than one of the forum members noted that the atmosphere had been better in general at Paris, but on certain songs it improved at Antwerp, eg, as 'Franck' points out, on 'All Right Now', when he could see that Paul enjoyed the audience participation. 'Franck' was also really impressed by Roger, and he could see Brian, back right of stage while Roger was doing the drum solo, looking on with a smile as if to say "that's superb!", the same smile that he had for the audience during 'We Will Rock You' - Brian was really happy! Jamie and Danny were more in evidence during this concert as well...
Quoting 'Fredmercury': Personally I was really dazzled by their performance - the concert was almost without a genuinely wrong note - the sound quality was superb. There was a real chemistry among the musicians - the performance of Brian, Roger and Paul was superb - they really released a wonderful energy together. You had the feeling that they had made a deep commitment to this. Roger excelled himself in drumming and singing - Brian provided an emotional moment with 'Love of my Life'. There was no dull moment - the Queen machine is really on the rails! The audience was mainly warm but calm up to 'Bohemian Rhapsody', when they went mad, and when they joined in 'All Right Now', Paul was over the moon - he had deserved it because he had really extended himself. Of course he's not Mercury but he really moved up in people's estimation during the evening.
