And...one more! This one was actually found by none other than our dear friend, Dr. Brian May, who posted it on his blog — and it's excellent. Yes, some bits & pieces did not translate well, but in general it does read fairly smoothly, and you will no doubt catch on to it pretty quickly. This is a nice long review and the writer's praise for Adam is just brilliant. Throughout all these Krakow reviews there has been an exuberance for Adam which I, for one, feel is completely charming and wonderful. Loving our friends in Poland!

"Thank you all for giving me a wonderful opportunity to sing with this great team" - said to Krakow audiences Adam Lambert, singer, plays out with the Queen. Adam - you did not have to thank us for nothing. Do you think you just earned 100 percent.
It was an amazing evening. The fulfillment of the most secret dreams. For my eyes dreams come true for more than 15 thousand people gathered in Krakow Arena. During the two-hour show, all we saw one of the most legendary rock bands in history. Fact - without Freddie Mercury - Unforgeable icon that looks at the entire route, I hope, from the blue pedestal. Fact - without John Deacon - bass, not wanting to pursue a career without his mustache colleague. But it's still Queen Brian May and Roger Taylor - members of the original, amazing and unique composition. A support their young and pretty damn talented guy who - despite all the voices hejterów - lifted the burden of being the lead singer of one of the greatest creations of British music. And that's without any shortness of breath. For totally relaxed.Show started almost 20 minutes intro, played from speakers placed next to a large, white sheets with the logo of the band, the stage of the shutter. Space sounds turned into the beginning of One Vision - concert firecrackers that Queen began most of his show since 1986. When the curtain finally rose up, saw dressed like Elvis Presley in the second half of the 60s Adam, gray-haired Brian and Roger and associated with them great musicians, among whom was Rufus - son Taylor. It supports during the current tour of his father, who is not physically withstand the hardships of playing the drums the whole show. As much as I do not want to believe, but thank you all for giving me a wonderful opportunity to sing with this great team - said to Krakow audiences Adam Lambert, singer, plays out with the Queen. Adam - you did not have to thank us for nothing. Do you think you just earned 100 percent.
After performing One Vision, in the early part of the concert we heard yet Another One Bites m.in To Dust, Fat Bottomed Girls, during which Brian May made a round around the platform, attached at the neck of the guitar webcam, filming filled almost to the brim arena, whether I Want To Break Free.
Then it was time for a more intimate stage performance. At drunk platform with an acoustic guitar swells, Brian sat down, and announced the execution of beautiful ballads - Love Of My Life. He asked all present to supported him in singing this song in memory of his great friend - Freddie Mercury. When he spoke these words, it was not difficult to note a few tears flowing from his slightly wrinkled eyelids. When playing this composition show off all gathered audience, pulling out their phones and turned on flashlights, created a wonderful setting. Brian did not hide his admiration for the situation. The Love Of My Life also appeared Freddie Mercury - on a huge outdoor screen, for several seconds, showing the performance of this work of Wembley in 1986. It was a beautiful and very moving moment that is difficult to forget.
The second part of the show opened thrilling drum battle between the older and younger Taylor. It was difficult to determine the winner of this battle, but my personal victory was, of course, Roger, who with her a little more than 30 years ago belly, looked simply lovely.
Next we heard m.in It's A Kind Of Magic, the drummer for the microphone, Somebody To Love, Who Wants To Live Forever, during which the ceiling slipped disco ball, reflecting light lasers fired from the stage. There was also I Want It All, with pompous odśpiewywanym chorus by all gathered at the Krakow Arena. In the remainder of Brian May made a monumental space and mesmerizing guitar solo that lasted more than 10 minutes. Then they played a little slower Queen Radio Gaga version, and during the chorus, the whole hall wyklaskiwała characteristic rhythm just as it did in 1985, seventy-two thousand people in London's Live Aid, when the British spread the wembley'owską scene.
At the end I got two wonderful compositions, without which performance did not have the right to terminate. It was not ever sung live by Freddie, The Show Must Go On and Bohemian Rhapsody - track legend, as a milestone in the work of not only the Queen, but also the whole rock music. After a while, the musicians left the stage ...... To the thunderous applause for her to come back and play another two songs - We Will Rock You, where the level of ecstasy audience reached a critical level, and We Are The Champions, ideally suited to end such a wonderful concert.It's hard to record Krakow left the arena. Would willingly have remained there for the next couple of days and over watched show ended a while ago. This concert was just amazing and certainly do not mean just for a high quality, which I think no one collected at the scene did not fear: a huge stage with a capital Q, which is an outdoor screen, lights, lasers, smoke, confetti - all created the greatest show I have ever been. Sam now I wonder who will be able to break it in the future. Perhaps the only Queen.
An integral part of this epic show was undoubtedly Adam Lambert. As for his vocal abilities unless no one had the right to have doubts - on his solo recordings, or even during the past Queen concerts with musicians he has demonstrated above-average, high-pitched voice, perfectly matching the songs of the British. Once the big problem, however, was the attitude on stage. Two years ago, performing with his new colleagues, looked like a frightened school graduate entering the examination room, and yesterday presented like an old stager world scenes. Exuded confidence, easily caught with the audience. Five times changed its creation, like a real diva! Freddie replaced great, but did not come into his shoes. He did it in his own way, which is to the liking unless all viewers yesterday's concert. At this point, I can not imagine anyone else who could be with the Queen. After a very successful adventure with Paul Rodgers, May and Taylor finally found the right person for this very elite place. I also have to give a great respect for the Brian and Roger for the fact that in spite of so many summers on the neck, can with such joy and vigor to play for their fans all the great hits. Their slightly wrinkled faces and gray hair does not take away their rock energy with which there are more than 40 years.Audience was also fantastic. Beside me, steel and teenagers and people who first youth are far behind. The future of the family with children, and sometimes grandparents with grandchildren. Despite these differences in age, everyone played like twenties. It's probably best illustrates how a great team is the Queen and the fact that music - especially rock legends - actually able to connect generations.

Thanks broddybounce.
Fabulous review.
I can see why Brian picked this one. It's written by someone who really gets the whole thing. And really loves Adam.
"despite all the voices hejterów" - despite all the hate voices
