Just because certain songs we want to hear were'nt played tonight does'nt mean they won't ever be this tour! There was a point in the QOL thread where some serious throat grabbing was taking place. Rare to see this on there....but folks i think have very high expectations for these shows.

OMG- Brian must have been pissed as hell..stupid people..it's not a base ball game!! Thanks for the early report. Have fun in JAX. OOh this is not good--Brian stomping off the stage..the crowd must have really been bad. Well part of me wondered why Miami? I picture Latin, salsa, hiphop, dance music...not classic rock as the preference..hence the reaction. I hope Brian does not get too discouraged..I still think his guitar bit--with both the solo and last horizon is too long and takes people out of the show as a majority of the average joes do not know last horizon...It now becomes the beer and potty break. Very sad.

He did seem a little disturbed at the end, it seemed Paul and Roger were getting ready to be joined by Brian for a trio bow but Brian just kind of walked by with his hand in the air and went off stage. Stupid people is right, I overheard some moron say that Queen didn't have enough material for a concert without Paul, I was already pissed so I let it go, I just think this time we will see more non "as dedicated" Queen fans as we saw in NY, some of the sign-alongs were not the same and the Radio Gaga hand clapping was pityful.

It just seems they put no new effort in the setlist.It looks to me more like a money tour then a fan friendly tour. Im one of those who doesnt like to hear just the hits. I like obscure songs or more then a few new older songs that werent played last tour.They could have easily switched the setlist up instead of just moving songs around.And dont tell me some songs are hard to play now that there older. They are musicians who get paid well.Get into shape and they will be fine.And finally I can not believe they didnt play I WANT IT ALL Listening to ROC It is the best song on the cd and the best one Paul sings.Hopefully it will be back by the Buffalo date.Just my 2 cents worth

Going Back wrote: lol, it's quite funny... really! i mean roger sed that there will be more 1970's stuff and as we know now more means one song!!!! if they don't want to burn out they have to change the setlist. if paul can't learn how to sing new songs or don't know the words then c'mon roger and brian both can sing lets add now i'm here, keep dragon attack, keep yourself alive, don't stop me now, sheer heart attack and some late songs like A Winters Tale, Innuendo and Headlong!

I can't believe all the disappointmet. They all screw up lyrics...we know brian can sing however he's better playing guitar for the most part... Brian singing I want it all in the UK was in my opinion not very good. You could tell he was uncomfortable. Brian srews up guitar cues/intros too-- but no one slags him for that-why should we. They are not going to do any old obscure seventies songs- period- get over it. Have you ever thought it might be too painful emotionally and in some cases physically to play some of those songs? Brian May and Roger Taylor are sensitive men believe it or not and they think about those things! Take what they are willing to share with you, where they feel most comfortable--and not be disappointed. If they don't play your favorite song -get over it or go to bar with an internet jukebox and play what you want. I will be content to accept whatever Rog, Paul and Brian want to share. I am sorry for the rant- I have waited 24 years to seem them on US soil-and it means a lot to me that they are here to entertain us.

I never thought I would get to see even part of the band live, and I'm thrilled just to see Brian and Roger, no matter what songs they sing. Given that the majority of US concertgoers are probably only familiar with the hits, I think they did a pretty good job of mixing them with less well-known songs that will get people interested in hearing the rest of the albums, and incorporating some of Paul's stuff as well. You can't expect them to do a bunch of obscure stuff that the crowd won't be able to sing along to. And really, would it be as much fun if only the hardcore fans were singing along? I think it's a pretty easy tradeoff to not hear older/more obscure songs but get a much higher-energy crowd. I'm still having a hard time believeing I am actually going to see them live. Tomorrow. I can't think of a single thing to complain about.

I am a huge Rush fan as well. ---------------- Concerning the setlist, I wish they would play more from pre ANATO. I was hoping for more Roger songs ... and brian songs. But I realize they are not as popular and they are including mainly the hits. At least they are doing 39. But I am excited anyway ... will be there Tuesday in Atlanta. More of a Rush fanatic couldnt get 2112 in the screename somebody has it all the time. Like I said I even get pissed when Rush sticks close to there setlist tour after tour. But Queen I think has to shake it up

"oh queen is touring again, thats good but they better do this and that or im not goin to be happy, iv not seen queen before but im not goin to be happy" anyone who says things like that should fuck off and not see them then. be thankful they are playing ANY original Queen all together, they could of went on tour doing nothing but there own solo work, it could of been enitrely Free/bad company work. GET A GRIP AND GET A LIFE!!! and in terms of hammer to fall, it will probably still be slow/fast! now GROW UP!

An album track, obscure? Any actual Queen fan would know every track Queen put out. People aren't expecting them to play some obscure b-side (what with them not usually even bothering recording any) or unreleased song - they're hoping they will play some of their CLASSIC tracks. A Queen fan not knowing Ogre Battle, Keep Yourself Alive, Liar, Now I'm Here, Seven Seas Of Rhye etc? Don't think so. They are playing to Queen fans, not the general public. I don't see how Radio Gaga or I Want To Break Free would go down too well in the States either.

Yea ... I caught them 5 times on the R30 tour including opening night in Nashville, then the next two shows at Charlotte and Va Beach ... I was dissapointed with no set list changes. But, I can't complain, 3+ hours of all RUSH!
