Welcome to a little time travel! Please follow the advice not to visit the merchandise and catering corners, so your travel in time will be as pleasant as it can be! Ladys and Gentlemen, please welcome Queen!

Yeah, they are back, and the rock as if they would've never been gone! What a great band! Paul Rodgers is fitting in the line up very well. He is doing vocals for about half of the show, and he is doing a really great job, Freddie would be proud!
The other half of the show Brian May and Roger Taylor are sharing vocals, sometimes they sing duetts with each other or Paul Rodgers!
The sound, the clothes, everything is like in the 70's / 80's, I guess most of the audience is feeling quite young again after the first chords!

The arena is sold out, and the fans are appreciating the show very much! I was a bit late, so I got a place only in the very end of the venue, which wasn't bad at all, because I had a brilliant overview about the stage. Though I prefer concerts at smaller venues I have to say that this show was really great, the sound was simply perfect and they offered a brilliant light show as well!

The stage was very large with a walkway infront of it deviding the audience. Once in a while they left the main stage and played an acoustic song at the end of that walkway. Brian May took "the liberty to sing some Freddie songs for Freddie", only accompanied by his 12-string guitar, he played for example "Love of my life".

Roger Taylor played an incredible drum solo, spiced with some riffs of guitar or bass guitar, especially the bass player did some awesome solos.
The stage went dark, only one spotlight left, lighting up Mr. May who is doing a guitar solo now, which is a bit special. In the back of the stage they have kind of stand with stairs and railings, where Brian May is climbing onto, behind him is a large video screen, covered until now by curtains. They display some scenes of a city on the video screen, it looks like Brian May is playing on the road, later they are displaying clouds and stars, the whole solo looks like a little theater play with Brian May as leading man. One time he is climbing down the stairs and getting hisself a new guitar, the roadie is handing it to him, and while he is carrying the first guitar back stage, it is still crying! Really amazing!

The setlist contains all the classics like "I want it all", "Mamamia", "Radio Gaga" or "Kind of Magic", some songs got a modern touch, but they didn't loose anything by that!
The last song was "Mamamia", the curtains open and Freddie Mercury appears on the video screen. First it is just a video, but soon the music is live, with Freddie singing from the video screen, that is a magic moment, it curses goosebumps!

They start the encores with "We will rock you, and the animation of the audience works well, even the technicians that moved the large spots on stage moved next to their spot and joined everybody in clapping their hands to the song!
"There she stood in the street ....", the audience celebrated "Alright Now" as enthusiastic as they celebrated the Queen songs, and I think that "Free"-song fits in the set very well!
The final of the show was "We Are The Champions", which ended after two hours an almost perfect concert. Yeah it was an incredible show with great musicians, Freddie would have liked it!
It wasn't a cheap concert, but it was definitively worth it, highly recommended!

On the way out you have to pass the catering and merchandise corners, no chance to avoid them! Suddenly the dream is over, welcome back to reality!
