Queen with Adam Lambert tickets now on sale half price and more through Groupon...
I guess I'm not the only person who didn't think this was a good idea.
You think seeing this is like seeing the closest you'll ever get to Queen. Well there was always a 5th member to the band called Queen and that was the audience. Freddie Mercury's charisma on stage was so amazing that the audience, no matter where the sat, was pulled into the concert.
Sure this is Live Aid 1985 but at that event Queen owned it with their set. But you can watch other DVDs and you'll feel the same pull to the stage.
Check out the camera angle towards the end of the song when they show from behind Freddie to the Audience and everyone comes alive chanting along with Freddie.
You cannot reproduce that - either the band has it or they don't.
