I never had the opportunity to see Queen when Freddie was alive, but I have been a big fan since I was old enough to hear my dad's copy of "Day at the Races" and "A Night at the Opera" (on vinyl, of course!) - and so an opportunity to see them was not to be missed!
I heard some people saying "Oh, Lambert's no Freddie, is he?" - well, I agree - but that is what I want. There is only one Freddie, and no one can replace him... so someone trying would seem wrong.
Although I enjoyed Lambert, all the bits I loved were where Brian and Roger were singing/playing without him - Brian's acoustic bit was great!
I loved the whole gig - and will be trying my hardest to get tickets for their next tour, whoever goes after the "+"... it may be Queen "+ Adam Lambert", but for my money, Lambert was not required, nice though he was.... Queen may be getting on, but they still ROCK!!
