From a recent show: link
Brian has always been the type to incorporate something into the set to accommodate the different cultures of each country he plays in, and this time in the Czech Republic it was a piece of Dvorak's New World symphony. Just gorgeous stuff.

Great. One of my favourite classical pieces of all time.
Oh yes, the doctor loves to do this sort of spontaneous thing. He must do it all the time, right? RIGHT??!
Can someone explain to me then why after seeing him live 11 times -5 with Rodgers and 6 with Lambert- all I got was the Blue Danube in my first show (Vienna '05) and pretty much the same guitar solo every single time after that?
He's a perfectionist and he rarely takes risks live.
And that's Ok.
This is more than gorgeous!
It's probably now my favourite Brian May live moment from the last 12 years (including the Q+PR and Q+AL tours).
This is soooooooooo beautiful.
Crazy how he played this just a few days before Keith Emerson died, whom he eulogized with eloquence - he mentioned The Nice's showstopping piece, their cover of America from West Side Story, which also included a piece of this very Dvorak symphony.
The wonders of this world go on.
For all the naysayers over the years and criticism of the good Dr. you have to say that he still has that candy in his fingers... Not a difficult piece to play by any means but nobody else could make it sound that good.
We still love you Brian
