***This review made me tear up a bit at the end... Such a beautifully stated review from Tonedeaf.com:
"Spoiler Alert: Does Adam Lambert Live Up To Freddie Mercury's Legacy?"
[***Another "spoiler alert": YES!]
EXCERPTS FROM THE ARTICLE:
"With anticipation at fever pitch, Queen opened the night, and the first leg of their Australian tour, with 1974 smash hit ‘Now I’m Here’. The backdrop of the stage an enormous Q, Adam Lambert sporting a fabulous golden microphone, and the rest of the band going full speed from note one."
"They are a testament to artists who don’t rest on their laurels: they’re not ageing superstars out for another buck, they’re doing it for the love of the art and for the memory of their late friend."
"Ever since the passing of Freddie Mercury, the band have never sought to replace him, only to pay tribute to him, and Lambert immediately blew the crowd away with his homage. He’s got the head tosses, the hip thrusts, the model’s stalk and the outfits – and does he ever have the voice. It’s impossible to try to compare anybody to the great – the greatest, even – Mercury, but if anybody can, Lambert is the man."
"After playing through some of their most well known numbers, the time of the night finally came: The best sing-along song in the history of music; ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’."
"This was one of the most touching numbers of the night, as Lambert stepped aside to let Freddie Mercury himself (tragically, in video form only) perform the verses. The back and forth between them was the last proof any doubters needed that Lambert is every bit the performer Mercury was, and the end of the number proved Lambert’s great respect and admiration for the man he has been privileged to represent. Few singers have ever had both the stamina and range of Mercury, but Lambert showed he has both."

Great Review!
Brian looks like he is having the time of his life!
Such an excellent review! Overjoyed with how much positive exposure and feedback Adam & Queen are receiving. Please Lord let that translate into to an explosive Era 3!!!
PRS, Yes couldn't agree more. Please, Please let this be the beginning of an explosive Era 3.
LOVE IT~
Something strange is happening to Brian....I believe he is growing younger!
Good one JAK!
@JAK
It's the "Adam Lambert Effect"...
He does that to me too!!!!
Among other things.......
:)))
Brian and Roger have been "drinking daily of Adam's blood" per Roger in a previous interview!!! That would explain them growing younger :)))
Adam's energy and playfulness on stage is simply infectious to the other band members, especially Brian who shares so much of the stage with Adam. It's beautiful to watch.
This is a fabulous review and my heart is full.....again.
Have to agree that being an Adam fan is like taking a youth pill every day. Besides the excitement itself, there's all the awareness of so many great things I wouldn't pay much attention to: new music, social issues, etc. It's a real journey, and I'm glad I'm on it!
