Today is April 13th.
One year ago tonight, Queen and Paul Rodgers Rocked in Vancouver, the last show of thier 2006 tour.
Share your thoughts.
I was there,front row on Brian's side. the show was amazing.
Its sad to see so many of the Queen+PR shows in amazing bootlegs yet the final show which was sold out, only a couple of tracks have surface.
I think that even if a whole recording does not exist, perhaps we could all gather the material we DO have, and put together as full of a show as possible.
It is also the two year aniversary of the first time I saw Queen and Paul Rodgers live. It was in Vienna. I had visited Budapest a couple of days before and traveled with some nice people from the Hungarian Fan Club.
Then I got there and didn't have a place to stay, I lost Martin's phone number and had to:
a) find and ATM to withdraw money
b) find a phone booth to call Thorsten in Germany to get Martin's phone
c) Call Martin and tell him to wait in the line for me
d) See a Queen show
e) Find a place to stay in Vienna AFTER the show because I didn't have time to do so before. Hauptbanhoff was not an option since someone had been stabbed the previous night.
Did I mention that I had to do this without knowing a word in German? :)
In the end, everything went well, but I wasn't really sure of how the story would end at that moment, hehe :)
