Queen + Paul Rodgers

[Creole Lady Marmalade]

I want to thank Dave_Vancouver for the tickets. The seats were ideal and the concert was just great. At moments you could feel a presence greater than the venue packed with people and the monumentous show, you could actually feel Freddy Mercury watching.



And who knew Roger Taylor could sing.

And who knew Roger Taylor could sing.

He's been the lead singer for several Queen tunes since the early days. Most notably this one:

The machine of a dream
Such a clean machine
With the pistons a pumpin'
And the hub caps all gleam

When I'm holdin' your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When my hand's on your grease gun
Oh it's like a disease son

I'm in love with my car
Gotta feel for my automobile
Get a grip on my boy racer rollbar
Such a thrill when your radials squeal

Told my girl I'll have to forget her
Rather buy me a new carburetor
So she made tracks sayin'
This is the end now
Cars don't talk back
They're just four wheeled friends now

When I'm holdin your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When I'm cruisin' in overdrive
Don't have to listen to no run of the mill talk jive

I'm in love with my car
Gotta feel for my automobile
I'm in love with my car
String back gloves in my automolove

Queen & Paul Rodgers

The tix were pricey but these veterans of rock still deliver the goods. Paul is living in Whiterock according to the newspaper so we my see more of him in future. (Hope so!)

Next up...The Black Crowes here in Victoria in a couple of weeks.

about 4 Bad Company songs man.

Paul Rodgers did an excellent job.
VERY cool show....it was awesome ..(except for the fucking crackhead next to my wife that I had to punch out after repeated "asshole-like" behaviour)

I had NEVER seen Queen live and it was surreal to watch the curtain fall and have Brian May walk out on stage right in front of us.

Freddie WAS in the house (in spirit anyway)

Was very cool ....just too bad Aerosmith had to cancel..would have been an even better week!

How much Bad Company music did they play? Was it all Queen or a mix of both?

They did 4 (as I remember) Bad Company tunes and the rest was Queen songs. Freddie was most definately in attendence. Rodgers was very respectful of the little homages that were paid to Freddie during the concert. That man is real class.

It was a great night, one not soon to be forgotten.
