Well okay, the 2014 set lists apparently are NOT going to change from show to show (doesn't really surprise me).....and I wouldn't expect this song to be done in concert in a million years anyway........
But I was listening to Innuendo the other day, and I started thinking...Adam could probably do a hell of job on Don't Try So Hard! It seems like it would be just right for his voice......and it's an underrated song, too......
And I think I posted it somewhere else, but Brighton Rock would work, too.................
Another one that just came to me.............Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy..........would fit perfect alongside Killer Queen in concert! And give all the people that say Adam's too 'gay' or 'camp' or whatever a heart attack.....hah........
Any thoughts?
Aaah... which OTHER Queen songs... I was at the iHeart Radio gig in Burbank and when the fist chords of "Love Kills" started, I screamed to the point of loosing my voice. You see, that's one song on constant rotation in my car. I'd go with "Living on my own", "Don't try so Hard", "INNUENDO" (a big dream of mine), "The Miracle" and I would love to hear Adam's take on "Mustapha", "I want to break free".. yep, I'd say half the catalog :) But my single pick would be Innuendo. I have never ever heard that song live and I love it very much. Oh, and "Scandal". How did I forget?

There: link
As for the setlist, I have the feeling they will change it for Korea and Japan. We all know that they usually do Teo Toriate.
Im not sure if Adam can do a nice version of Innuendo, listening to his vocal style and the way he sings, I think it wont work properly (but I think it will be better than the Robert Plant version!)
I think You Dont Fool Me or I was Born to Love You would work.
Now, if I could think of a song that could work, Adam does a better job with ballads so I think The Night Comes Down or Doin' Alright, which could blow my mind away given the fact that Doin' is not so heavy and Adam could deliver a better performance.
But you know, since the death of Freddie I always wanted a Smile tour, or at least their songs played live. I know they already played them in the 90s but it would be amazing to hear Earth live once again or Polar Bear (the Staffel version, of course! ITs the one I love the most!)
Save Me,No One But You should be in there mayby Let me live too,Always thought they should do solo songs Driven by you and a Roger song .Brian has said he fav Queen track is Made in Heaven at the moment give it a play then

He may be able to sing all Queen songs but in my opinion, this is not a matter of vocal range/skills/whatever but a matter of styles.
When I listen to Adam singing I Want it All or Stone Cold Crazy I hear someone who is singing something he doesnt "feel" compared to other songs like Show Must Go On, Love Kills, Killer Queen, Who Wants to Live Forever or Under Pressure in which you can hear Adam doing a better job because its closer to his own style.
I think Adam can handle any song. And if he couldn't, he could just change up the arrangement. If I were to make changes, I would remove I Want it All, and Stone Cold Crazy, and add more melodic songs, such as any of the following: White Queen, Nevermore, Brighton Rock, Liar, Lily of the Valley, It's a Hard Life, It's A Beautiful Day, One Vision, You're My Best Friend, The Millionaire Waltz, It's Late. Of those, "It's Late" would be the best showcase for Adam, I think.
always curious why Innuendo isnt done, it was a no1 here in the uk and is a typically layered Queen song that goes from one extreme to the other always one of my favourites
It's a Hard Life or It's Late would be great.
Can you imagine Adam doing the Pagliacci intro? That would be a showcase of his vocal chops.
I've always loved I Want it All but I would prefer Brian singing it. Adam doesn't shine on this one. I have never cared much for AOBTD or CLTCL but there is no way they'll ever cut those #1 hits.
Brighton Rock could be fun. Shortened version in the style of their 77 tour.
