Queen w/Paul Rodgers

[progdirjim(Admin)]

Saw Queen with Paul Rodgers on lead vocals Saturday night. I don't have time to do a full on concert review, but I will say that I enjoyed it, and they're worth seeing if you like Queen. What was well done is that Paul recognizes that he's not Freddie Mercury, and doesn't try to be him - he just sings in his own style. Roger Taylor and Brian May add a fair amount of vocals, and I guess playing in the same band as Freddie wore off - they both sound a bit like him. Song selection was mostly what you'd guess, but a few old Queen and Bad Company songs thrown in mixed it up nicely. They had 3 supporting musicians (bass, guitar, keys) which filled out the sound. Brian May and Roger Taylor (two of the most underrated musicians in rock, IMHO) were in fine form, and obviously were enjoying the show, and not just going through the motions.

Worth attending if you're a fan...
