wow, now this is a classic standout track originally by bad company but queen covered it live with paul rodgers."feel like making love"..from "return of the champions" but the best track on that 2005 live set is the opening track with paul Rodgers all by himself, alone on stage before the rest of the band comes in...the song? "Reaching Out" which segues into "Tie Your Mother Down" anyone care to disagree/discuss? |
| GaryMcUK 31.10.2014 23:02 |
I agree, the standout tracks are the Paul Rodgers ones, the Intro, 2xBad Company songs and 2xFree songs. That's not to say the rest of the concert isn't good because it's very good, he's an excellent singer but he's obviously going to sound best singing his own songs. Having said that, Queen+PR's version of Runaway (Del Shannon cover - bonus track on the iTunes version of The Cosmos Rocks) is excellent. I remember playing a bit of Return of the Champions to some sceptical friends not long after it came out, as I pointed out to them at the time, if you walked in expecting Freddie Mercury, expect to walk out disappointed, if you are open minded, then you might get a surprise. |

forget paul Rodgers, don't stop believing open arms separate ways precious time when you love a woman, this guy is not busy at all but made himself public not too long ago after a long and private scenario he knows best, I'm writing of none other than former journey front man and currently free soprano steve perry. I'm busy but willing to read your artistic side, tha is ifya r creative writer, you do read? i did, but now an author critic at rollingstone.com earlier along with queen, steve perry, kiss and bruce springsteen twitter, facebook, alt.music.queen, alt.music.journey, rec.music.artists.kiss, rec.music.artists.springsteen via link acousticharmonies-subscribe@yahoogroups.com or link for more info about public discussion into a broader range of topics? perhaps windows 7 tech support, audio and video conversion, lyricism, poetry overload raw unedited published have you any idea what is life beyond a piece of paper pen into social media? its' where it's at for me for now, no one seems to respect much more than hip hop and candy pop i suppose since mtv video music awards of this year & ascap music publishing co circa 2003? that's me and what I'm currently doing other than landscaping or real estate or photography or generally, surely there's something to do with perry and queen? any other bright ideas? its a sure usa mass production on a Gillette stadium tour if and I think it's the only team that can really do Freddie mercury justice here in the united states. |

I was an advocate before they got together that Paul Rodgers should front Queen, tremendous voice, great front man, and I personally loved the live shows, I know it didn't please the purists, but I liked the bluesy spin he gave the Queen songs, its good to hear them performed differently to the albums. PR gets my vote over AL. |
| Arnaldo "Ogre-" Silveira 01.11.2014 08:19 |
I think the band was not so tight by the time they recorded Return of the Champions, as they were early into the tour. IMHO Super Live in Japan is their best live DVD, by far. Cheers, Ogre- |
| Vocal harmony 01.11.2014 10:51 |
^^^^ yes Super Live in Japan is a much better gig then the earlier Return of The Champions gig. The time spent touring certainly showed. I enjoyed the PR shows, after all they got BM and RT back out on the road together. But in don't think this shows had a Queen feel to them, Jamie Mosses' inclusion changed the musical dynamic to much IMO. BM is much more suited to being the only guitar player in Queen. Paul Rodgers is a great singer, a lot bad been made of his blues input into the live Queen show, but I think it was at it's best and most obvious at the UK hall of Fame gig during Champions. I think by the end of the Cosmos tour BM and RT were looking and sounding like a high profile Paul Rodgers backing band with PR having his own back stage area and being fairly non communicative with BM and RT. The added fact that Jeff Scott Soto was on call at a number of venues maybe shows how hard PR was to work with. I think the happier environment, touring with Lambert is obvious. |

it better than anything with lambert. its a real shame they fell out with pr. he didn't mince around trying to be Freddie in his leather period circa the game like lambert does. |

In 2005 the ratio of Queen to Rodgers tunes was about 2:1, but by 2008 there were only 3 Free/BadCo tunes per night. But was Paul really that hard to work with? Or was he just butting heads with Bri and Rog with no fault on either side? Paul likes a rotating setlist and generally doesn't like being too comfortable for too long, while Bri and Rog are creatures of habit and like a touring band to be a well-oiled machine that rigidly plans virtually every move with a goal of perfection every night, like theatre. With rare exceptions, it's been that way for them since 1973. The two differing philosophies were bound to explode. The JSS tidbit sure is interesting. Can you elaborate on that? |

Pearl Jam anyone? Eddie Vedder solo or with PJ has been big and viable and young to this day here in the USA, the crowd of intensity unlike Queen but as rowdy and happy to be with the band at the Gorge 2008, 3 show MP3 CD set downloaded over the last 72 hours and ready for sampling via williamkeithmahler@gmail.com Forget Lambert & Perry, it would be interesting to hear Vedder with May & Taylor for a live net gig no? Mid range originals that are a staple with no repeativeness despite the lack of Mercury's soprano and harmonies, just pure grit and blues with nothing more than Queen's form of 1974 or earlier, close to Smile with a better but equally as talented as Tim Staffel's "April Lady" only with Brian at lead?

Yes BM and RT do seem to function better in a well rehearsed situation. With regard to Paul Rodgers, he works better as a band leader rather than a band member. During the Q+PR tours there were two defined camps back stage. At the London shows, where traditionally the UK music business gather PR and his management and "guests" kept themselves separate from "Queen". There were tensions and it got to the point where it was thought that PR may walk, some say that he was suffering throat problems though it never seemed likely listening to him. Because of this JSS was lurking backstage just in case. BM actually briefly pointed towards these problems on his website when he said they decided to call it a day in South America to preserve their friendship. |

I think the highlights were Reaching Out/Tie Your Mother Down, 39, Hammer To Fall, All RIght Now, Bohemian Rhapsody; but I Want It All was the best of the album for me. I was very happy with their collaboration and enjoyed Cosmos Rocks album too much. I wish they hadn't parted ways and made another studio album. |
