what a gig. it was really coool!


did anyone see the guy up in the stands who got the whole crowd cheerin for his dancing and then he started a mexican wave all on his own! that guy was a legend!

Yeah, we were sitting right behind him! It was classic when the Security guy told him to sit down and the whole place erupted in boos. Magic evenings entertainment!! And just showed how some (bigger) bands rip us off by only playing one/one and a half hour sets... 2 hrs and 30 mins was impressive! I'll go again when they come back.
Wasn't the same without Freddie though

I was in the balcony at the back. Unfortunately there was a bit of trouble with people in the wrong seats who refused to move (people who IMO were of an age that should have known better) so that spoiled the start a bit for us beside them - but once that was sorted it was all good.

It was never going to be the same without Freddie, but having BM and RT there together and them being so into it made it really special for me. In one sense I was really happy to see them there and in another really sad about Freddie not being there (I'm not forgetting about deacy but he made his choice).

i thought it was one of the best gigs ever .....but, because obiously freddie can't be replaced it would have been a shame to go there with that mental block not to enjoy it too much because its not freddie........paul rodgers is probably one of the finest rock vocalists in the world, and last night he showed hes better than ever..........for what it was...queen + paul rodgers.....not queen......it was fantastic.

Best gig i have ever been to. It was just brilliant. Brian May was.......cant even describle how good he was on the giutler. its never going to be the same without freddie but if you go expecting Paul Rodgers to be like Feddie then you will be disappointed. I'm not saying paul was disappointing, he wasnt. i thought he was brilliant and has one hell of a voice.

I was disappointed they didnt sing Dont stop me now. You see so called "super-stars" like Madonna charging €100-130 for tickets where she will lip sink for an hour and go home. i paid €65 for my ticket and it was worth every penny. value for money and extremly entertaining.


The guy on the stand was brilliant. he was just pretending to do the solo but then everyone started cheering him and he couldnt stop....brilliant. just want the crowd need. since there wasnt a support group.

Brian May hinted they might do another tour......****ing hope so.

I thought Radio Ga Ga and Under Pressure were the best songs preformed last night.

was sitting on the far side of the balcony, and was wondering what happened there when the gards came in ... but yeah .. great gig ... radio gaga was amazing, especially during the clapping parts, the lights came up and you could see everyone standing clapping! and the light techs at the back doing the robot!

What a bloody amazing show!!

Being sceptic about *anyone* replacing Freddie, I have to say that Rodgers did an outstanding job. The tone was set for the night by the guy doing the air guitar in the balcony to the pre-gig music and then the spontaneous Mexican wave around the venue. It seemed then like it might be a special night and it certainly was!!

Queen know how to rock and playing for almost 2 1/2 hours showed it. The band were relaxed and in great form and the atmosphere in The Point was excellent.

What a night!

The Mexican wave was great, I was sitting up on the Balcony quite near the Guy doing the air-guitar.

They couldn't have gotten anyone better to sing with them imho- Paul Rodgers did an outstanding Job. There was real energy between him and Brian May.

I found it really sentimental in the middle of the concert where May did that long solo and a video of Queen was showed on the stage.

The lighting in 'It's a kinda magic' was amazing- the rainbow effect really brought out the song.

I was hoping they wouldn't try and do Bohemian Rhapsody at the end but they did and in fairness they didn't make a bollox of it as I thought they would without Freddie.
