WOW! WOW! WOW! They kicked F-ing Ass tonight. I went to the San Diego Show which I thought was the best of the 6 shows I saw this year, but this one was over the top. First off the crowd was on their feet from floor to rafters most of the night. They got Brian and Paul pumped from the very first minutes, and it showed in how Brian responded. Brian was laughing, smiling, joking, and extending leads and dancing around like no other night I have seen. Brian kept looking up to the top seats and was blown away that they all stood up and cheered with out end. WOW AGAIN is all I can say. Paul Rodgers really knew this was a special night, and kept looking back at Brian as if saying, "can you believe this tonight". Each song just got stronger, and you could see the confidence grow. And still the crowd would not stop pushing for more. I can not believe this was an American audience. The real shocker was seeing 60 to 70% of the audience claping in time to Radio Ga Ga. NO SHIT! These Americans must have taken their get off your ass pills. It was great!!!! The highlight again for me was Dragon Attack. Sorry to say to all the old die hards this song came off better then any of the times I saw Freddie do it, but Freddie would have been proud. Take Love was very good tonight, as was the best guitar solo so far. I could go until muy fingers are numb, but I will check in in Tuesday to give more thoughts. Lastly, if you have not gone to any of the shows, get off the old butt, charge up the cards, and go to any city that is left. Cheers and see you in LV at the MGM. |

Last thought! I can not believe how many women, as they walked out of the show said "Paul is Fricking Hot" CHEERS |
| All I Hear Is Radio Gaga 04.04.2006 03:04 |
All i can say is I'm absolutely speechless...that was amazing...i can't even describe it... I had a sign that said "I LOVE YOU ROGER!" and at the end I held it up and he pointed at me and said "I love you" I about died....lol it was great... Awesome show...I am still in awe...i can't believe that just happened... They sounded stronger than ever and my god were they loud! Oh yea Taylor Hawkins made an appearance on stage and gave Brian Red Special...I got a picture I'll upload them tomorrow... Cheers Heather |

how many people where there? I'll be in san jose on wed.... saw them in pittsburgh and in hollywood..... cant wait to see this... |
| goinback 04.04.2006 05:42 |
OMG OMG OMG I got in the front row (even though I had 5th row tix)! And I met Brian afterwards while he was leaving! And he gave me an autograph! And I told him I saw him back in '80 when I was 7 years old and he said "Put er' there!" and shook my hand! :) Then Paul's car drove by and I got his autograph too! OMG OMG OMG Oh yeah the show was great too :) Full version of Dragon Attack! Not even cut short like on the WWRY DVD. Brian even let the crowd sing a lot of "Love Of My Life". I got a couple bad cell phone pix of Brian by his car too. |
| Under Pressure 04.04.2006 05:53 |
I saw them in Paris and at the Hollywood Bowl ... they were absolutely at the top of their game tonight, hands down. When all those cell phones came out, I got chills. link |
| goinback 04.04.2006 05:54 |
I've never seen so many cell phones...and they were all waving around so happily :) It was a great moment. I like having The Show Must Go On *before* Bo Rhap...not sure why it took them so long to move it actually! Everyone's excited by the end of Bo Rhap so I didn't understand why they were playing a slow number after that before...they kept the momentum going through the rest of the show this way.... |
| Ms. Bea Haven 04.04.2006 09:25 |
There were tons of cell phones waving at the Philly show (seems like it was eons ago), too - but that's because nobody smokes any more. I remember the candlelight effect - now replaced by electronics... DAMN I wish I had made arrangements to catch the end of the tour somewhere. (I'm kicking myself harder and harder EVERY F*CKING DAY...) |

I saw the show in San Diego on Saturday night, which was fabulous. But I can be such a dumb ass. WHY DIDN'T I DRIVE UP TO ANAHEIM FOR LAST NIGHT'S GIG? I tried to justify it on the basis that I have seen Queen on five different occasions, but now I regret not going for a sixth. Anyway, I'm really glad to hear the show was a great success. Given the success of the two shows here in southern California, maybe Queen will finally start to gain a lot more attention in the U.S. Who knows, this may be the beginning of a tsunami of American affection and respect for Queen. |

I wouldn't be surprised. Lots of music industry people are centered in the LA area (is this not correct?) and so their exposure level was huge for these two shows. And wouldn't some Disney / Hollywood records executives have been at the concert? I'm also hoping that whoever is in charge of programming for radio and TV took note. I would like to see more media exposure for Queen in the USA. |
| PieterMC 04.04.2006 10:59 |
Well tune in to American Idol on the 11th. They are away to get big exposure :-) |
| rockyracoon 04.04.2006 11:11 |
Donna13, you're exactly right, and precisely for the reasons you mentioned. It also doesn't hurt when the Q+PR show gets great reviews from the local media, as it did in San Diego. The quality of Queen's MUSIC (in addition to performance) is now getting rave reviews, being described as majestic, complex, and anthemic. Even Freddie is finally being described as having been a great singer. The media are also warming up to Paul Rodgers, something they were never able to do 25 years ago with Freddie (for a variety of homophobic and other shallow reasons, such as excessive glitz, etc.). While I wish mainstream America had been able to recognize the magnificence of Queen in their prime, I'm really happy to see them coming around, even if belatedly. |

| PieterMC 04.04.2006 13:59 |
I guess whatever day the Anaheim concert was. My thinking is that they met with the contestants that day to go over the songs that they will be singing on the show. If the the band are actually going to perform on the show I would imagine it would be on the results show on the 12th. They don't have a concert that day so they could do it. |

| Erin 04.04.2006 14:03 |
I have a feeling that Brian would LOVE to perform with them..;-) Maybe they will do Bo Rhap as a group or something. |
| PieterMC 04.04.2006 14:05 |
I don't know whether they will perform or not. I have not heard anything. All I know is that the results show is a special 1 hour long edition. Quite often when they feature one particular artists songs they will turn up and perform. Stevie Wonder and Barry Manilow have both performed on the show this year. |
| johnroxx 04.04.2006 15:47 |
rockyracoon wrote: Pieter, do you know when that photo was taken with the American Idol contestants?Well, when we were backstage in San Diego Saturday night, the tour manager told us the band were leaving by limo immediately after the show to go to the airport, because they had to be in LA the next morning (Sunday) for some "TV thing." I'd guess that's your answer... ;^) |

Lately, the results shows have only been 1/2 hour, even WITH guest perfomances, so I'd guess that an hour-long show this week spells out a pretty good likelihood that the boys will indeed appear and, hopefully, perform! Set your TIVO, folks... ;^) |

| Atomic Dog 04.04.2006 21:54 |
Hi MSQUEENFAN I am from Burbank CA, and am glad to have your response. Great job to stand up and make the place rock. I feel the same way and always give it my all for the band if they are as good as QPR. I just get a bit bumbed when you go to a show like QPR at the Hollywood Bowl and the front third of the seats are industry people, and all the want to do is sit and be served. Those seats should go to the people like us that care, and make the night great for the band. I did not mean to dish on the real fans, just the state of So Cal shows because of all the freebies for the industry cats. Hope to see you all in Las Vages. |

I'm sooooooooooo tempted to go to Vancouver for the 13th... but I don't think my bank account will be happy with me. Is it worth it, to fly 3000 miles, to see perhaps the last Queen concert ever, even if I've already seem them three times??? |
