Radio GaGa is back and took Spread Your Wings out!!!
This is bad news for UK and EU part of the tour. If this is just the beginning of the process, we will end up with hits and It's Late + Bicycle Race as an additions.
Maybe they will add another track rehearsed by them but not introduced so far but this is just me being hopeful.
IMHO Adam seemed a little uncomfortable with Spread Your Wings' phrasing and lyrics. It's a pity. He could sing it beautifuly.
I hope they are just giving him some time to better adjust to it.
Cheers
Ogre-
It's like cosmos rocks tour. They started performing new songs from the album and they start to drop that songs and making again the typical setlist. So, the same will happen on this tour
Some posters at the QOL forum say Spread Your Wings was probably dropped due to time issues and the very sensitive neighborhood where the Hollywood Bowl is located. A shame, really.
Let's see what happens tonight, again at the Bowl, and most specially at San Jose next thursday.
Hope they bring it back !

I love this: BHM keeps his solo, the drum battle stays intact, but a genuinely interesting song is dropped.

yeah, I know what you mean. I'm sure we all think the same way here. BUT: if it's true that Adam isn't comfortable at all yet with the song, I guess the guys took the quickest and easiest decision "alright, let's skip SYW for tonight."
Of course I don't agree with that decision. The best way to make a song your own is by playing it non stop, and I was quite impressed with their rendition after the gigs in Phoenix and Vegas.
I thought Spread Your Wings worked wonderfully the other night, so I was bummed that it was dropped but the neighborhood where the Bowl is located is very sensitive, so I think it was a time issue. When they left the stage after BoRhap, the disco ball was dropped and the stool was at the end of the catwalk but then after a delay, both were pulled up and removed. We'll see what happens tomorrow!
This is a quote from someone on the QueenOnline message board who went to the gig.
It appears that they were all set to play it so I wouldn't worry too much.
It's only the 3rd gig come on guys!
yeah I've seen the setlist for last night an Spread your Wings was on it, but wasn't played due to a curfew in place, and the band was apparently 30 mins late on stage and people on twitter said locals could hear them nearly half an hour away from the Bowl
I will be in the minority, but I'm not sure if people took to SYW very well. Watched a clip and Adam tried to make the audience sing the chorus, but it was far from a success. Would be great if they replaced it with another obscure, yet better song. Adam did "Save Me" so well, bring this one back, for example.
Just the robot alone makes it worthwhile for me. Also caught Jimmy Kimmel 's taping Thursday (*need to get to somewhere to upload the little snips i took. ...i can never hold a camera right when i actually care about the act, I'd rather view with my own eyes)
...the taping won me over. They rocked again in person! Loved it
