Brian May talks about performing with Adam

Brian May doesn't like folks to copy from his blog, so I won't clip anything.  But go here to read Brian's glowing comments about the band switching into a higher gear in their performances with Adam.  I'm a little verklempt.

Wherein Adam sings the bejeebers out of I Want To Break Free . . .

Inspired by the lyrics, his tuchus makes the same declaration and his pants comply:

This was at the Hammersmith Apollo theater in London, July 12, 2012 in their fifth concert together.  Queen and Adam have only one more scheduled concert on Saturday.  My fingers remain crossed that they will do shows in the U.S. though nothing has been announced yet.  Reviews have been stellar; Brian, Roger and Adam all seem to be having a blast; Queen fans seem satisfied; and Adam's fans are thrilled.

And here's how they've been doing Bohemian Rhapsody, including a non-holographic contribution from Freddie:



If your leather laced-crotch pants give out mid-show, what do you wear?  Sparkly zebra pants, of course.

But I think my favorite song of these shows has been consistently Who Wants To Live Forever.

And my second favorite is the opening medley, including The Seven Seas of Rhye and Keep Yourself Alive.  Skip ahead to 1:45 in this video:
