    Another journalist who was told “Write a piece for the concert” and he thought “Let’s get it done quickly and go home” AND poor writing

    (These Yahoo “writers” are not very good – did this one attend the concert?)

    Never got to see the great Freddie in concert, but this Lambert guy was brilliant – and Brian May and Roger Taylor as as good as ever!

    What is it about the reviewers of the shows in the biggest cities (LA, New York, Sidney) that they think that they have to be above everyone else and look down their snooty noses and write bad reviews Question

    Tryin’ to be clever for their city friends, no doubt, rs – all these “arts” writers and “music” journalists – like that flute player/critic from the NYT – best review was written at Perth by that rock musician.

    I don’t mind if Gaga goes and watches, but I don’t want her up on stage with them…..for selfish reasons, all the press will be about her not Adam…..

    my FB friend said ‘he was fantastic, a great stand in for Freddy’….

    And the Killer Queen you post earlier, ultimathule…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30eXS9ttvNg&feature=youtu.be..I love watching the people in the audience. They are excited, smiling, having fun. A great view we haven’t seen that much of.

  43. luval says:

    Still waiting for who Wants to Live Forever before the next show!

    Just love audience shots, luval – like the roar of applause at the end of a performance, add so much fun and enjoyment to the vids.

    James Wynn @JWIAdvisory

    #Queen last night in Sydney were simply magnificent. Adam Lambert was dynamic, wonderful tribute to Freddie. Brian and Roger, great!

  46. luval says:
    08/26/2014 at 8:44 pm

    Yup. At the end of all this I can list several things I love. The audience shots and like you said, ulti the roar of the crowd!!! (oh and the amazing tweets too).

  47. luval says:
    08/26/2014 at 8:48 pm

    And I say no GaGa too but if it happens, it’s because they all want her there. Can’t imagine what she/they would sing.

    I listened to Queen w/Freddie A Kind of Magic. Didn’t care for it too much.

  48. adamized says:
    08/26/2014 at 8:54 pm

    Just watched the Killer Queen vid and I am totally flummoxed how folks with an up close view of BB can be turned away from him. There is one young woman who only glances up at him a couple of times. Maybe she is afraid she will turn to stone looking at all that beauty.

  49. luval says:
    08/26/2014 at 9:02 pm

    adamized, do you think they are just looking at the screen or actually turning the other way? Will have to look again.
