Did they play The Beatles medley in the middle of Rock & Roll Fantasy?

No. Were they supposed to?

I wasn't sure. Both times I saw Bad Company they played a Beatles medley of "I Feel Fine," "Ticket To Ride," and "Day Tripper" in the middle of Fantasy.

No, nothing like that at all. I assume they decided incoporating the catalog of 3 bands was enough without adding a 4th band that none of them were ever members of? lol Seriously, Rock & Roll Fantasy as they performed it last night killed. The audience ate it up.

Bad Company and Rock & Roll Fantasy ripped it up. The crowd loved every second of it. Let them play what they like. It was fucking brilliant. A joyous experience. People were there for the band and the music. Queen fans galore. And for whoever asked, the whole population of the island is 100,000 people. The venue capacity was 5000 at the VERY most and it was packed to overflow capacity. They even had a celeb. One of the actresses from That 70s Show was there, along with people from the US, Canada, England, Austria, Germany, Brazil, Venezuala, Holland and who knows where else. Truly an international audience. The heat and humidity were astonishing but the band was absolutely on fire. Terrific, stupendous, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Can't say enough superlatives.

Ray D O'Gaga wrote: I'm not trying to be argumentative with anybody. I just want people to have realistic expectations. If people go in thinking they're going to hear "Long Away" and "Its Late" and "Dragon Attack" and "Innuendo", they're going to be disappointed because they expected something that almost certainly isn't going to happen.

another one diets the bust wrote: LONG AWAY already had been in the set, even if it was only in Budapest or so, and DRAGON ATTACK at least was rehearsed during some soundchecks, as was ONE VISION. Most realistic would be some further drop of THESE ARE THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES, maybe even RADIO GA-GA, and i'm pretty sure they'll at least try KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE or NOW I'M HERE.

And BAD COMPANY is a really big one. I'm very happy with that. Let's wait for more good news ;)

I'm not saying its beyond all possibility (although I don't think there's one chance in a million they will take TATDOOL or Radio Ga Ga out of the set). I just know the tedency of some on this message board to indulge their most outrageous paranoid hyperbole, and so if I can head off someone going to the NJ or LA shows and coming out convinced that the band has betrayed them or sold them out because they didn't play "Sweet Lady" or "Hang on in There", I want to do so. I honestly think the set I saw in Aruba is the set for North America, with room for some minor alterations. I'm not rooting for no changes; I'm just trying to put the bar of expectation at something reasonable so that as few people go completely off their gourd apeshit as possible if they don't play "March of the Black Queen".

And BAD COMPANY is a really big one. I'm very happy with that. Let's wait for more good news ;)

That was a terrific addition. It killed. And the band played it beautifully.

I think for the US it's a nice change--Can't wait to hear BC and RNRF..wanted those all along...I knew it work well.

Mr. Scully wrote: Crazy LittleThing - would you be so kind to email me a scan of the setlist and ticket (webmaster@queenconcerts.com)? Also, were both It's A Beautiful Day remix and Eminem's Lose Yourself used as the intro? And where exactly in the setlist was Rock'n'Roll Fantasy? Thanks

My recollection is that they did play it, but the whole weekend was a whirlwind, to say nothing of the actual show, that its hard to remember precisely. I'm almost certain they did and never thought otherwise til I saw that setlist posted without it. I'll be happy to stand corrected if anyone else who attended remembers differently.
