Is taylor really playing better than ever as once quoted by Mr May? does he still have that bit of fire in his playing these days? I personally think he has been playing around with several "New" Techniques not usually assosiated wiv our Rog.

What kind of 'new' things are you talking about? Building a kit around him while playing, yes, I'll give you that.
I agree this tour is the best I've heard him drumming. Check out AKOM from Chile for a great ad-lib fill during the guitar solo. Genius. The sound from the drums is absolutely perfect as well.
I only have my doubts during the old Brighton Rock solo... He has never played that one like he used to do back in 78 or 79. But in general, he seems to be playing really well! Someone mentioned Roger's ad libing on AKOM, and I'll mention Brian's on the same song! :) He was really on fire this year!
Both Brian and Roger are playing much better then on the last Queen tour, and even much better then on the 2005 tour. The only problem is that they get tired too early on every concert, they're really getting old

In Rio they didn't seem tired at all! After watching the Kharkov gig, I assumed Roger would be pretty much dead after doing the solo and singing I'm In Love With My Car, so SINT and AKOM would suck... But hell, he did a wonderful job with them all, and when he sang Under Pressure later on, he was still okay. His drumming was great until the end. Same about Brian - I loved his playing on Cosmos Rockin'! Great, fun solo! :)
