Queen + Adam Lambert on Tour
In 2018, the legend of Queen — the larger-than-life band that's been making grandiose, orchestrally inspired rock songs since 1970 — came to the big screen with Bohemian Rhapsody, a film about the life of original lead singer Freddie Mercury.
Led by Mercury and charged by the pyrotechnic guitars of Brian May, the commanding drums of Roger Taylor, and the rumbling yet melodic basslines of John Deacon, Queen blazed a bright trail through the rock world in the 1970s and '80s. They showcased their stunning vocal harmonies on tracks like the mini-epic "Bohemian Rhapsody" and the peppy "Don't Stop Me Now." They showed off their wide range on sonically disparate tracks like the disco-tinged "Another One Bites the Dust," the sweetly longing "Somebody to Love," and the arena staple "We Will Rock You."
Mercury passed away in 1991, but his legacy loomed large, and Queen's presence on classic rock radio and in pop culture resulted in the band commanding the imaginations of younger listeners. One of those fans was Adam Lambert, a San Diego singer who sang "Bohemian Rhapsody" when he tried out for the eighth season of American Idol.
Powered by his inventive reworkings of songs, towering voice, and overwhelming charisma, Lambert finished second in the show's 2009 balloting. May and Taylor — who appeared on that season's finale and performed with Lambert and eventual winner Kris Allen — were keenly aware of Lambert's range and innovation.
Lambert, May, and Taylor first performed as a unit at the MTV Europe Awards in November 2011, and a year later they played their first concert as Queen + Adam Lambert. Since then, they've toured the world, honoring Mercury's memory while bringing Queen's electrifying catalog to life on a nightly basis. In 2019, Queen + Adam Lambert will embark on the Rhapsody Tour, a 23-date North American tour that, in the words of May, will "rip it apart and get even more ambitious" than their previous jaunts.
It was AWESOME!!!!!!! Adam's vocals were fantastic. His presence and showmanship was magnificent. Brian was masterful on the guitar. I loved his tribute to Freddie and the incorporation of video into the show.
Great concert, 45 minutes late getting started, doors were 30 minutes late letting everyone in.
Couldn't have been any better - Lambert perfect person to be the lead for queen!!!! great time..
Have always loved Queen, super fan of Adam Lambert, have seen all their performances before on line, but this LIVE show blew me away!! My seats were excellent, the visuals were impressive, the catwalks and lights and lasers were so grand, but---Adam's stage presence is like no others, his vocals blew me away, the drum solos and May's guitar skills were everything I expected them to be, this was by far the single best concert I have ever seen. There will never be another Freddie, but, dayam, Adam Lambert is a true superstar. Best voice on the planet.
This show is a must see, such a tribute to Freddy Mercury. I loved every moment of it.
Excellent opening night concert. Adam Lambert is not Freddy Mercury but after awhile you won't care. A few technical glitches but those were easily overlooked. Spectacular special effects. Lambert's vocals soared when he let them. Once he gets Freddy's confidence there will be no stopping this Queen!
Words cannot express how emotionally moved I was by this performance! Adam Lambert wasn't good, he was INDESCRIBABLY AWESOME! I wanted to attend this event for Brian and Roger who were beyond words in description of the energy and love for what they do; but ended up also falling in love with Adam Lambert's respect, humble nature and overall endearing attitude. He is a true artist and performer and the relationship with Brian and Roger could be felt in utmost respect. I was left in tears many moments in the show and have utmost admiration for Adam, Brian and Roger. Long live Queen!
Queen + Adam Lambert was a great show! Adam Lambert looked amazing, he really knows how to work the stage and and he has the vocals to back it up. He doesn't have charisma, he IS charisma. Brian and Roger were also fantastic as expected. You could tell they were all having a great time on the stage together. Queen's music is timeless. Pure rock at its best.
Amazing! A once in a life-time experience! Even though Adam's no Freddie, he still did a fantastic job. Of course, Brian and Roger would have made it worth the trip all by themselves. Amazing set list, lighting, and stage performance. Only worthy of a five star rating.
