Their regal 指名する aside, the 激しく揺する legends have previous form, with Brian May having memorably played God Save The Queen from the roof of Buckingham Palace for 2002’s Golden Jubilee.

On the 証拠 of this exhilarating Manchester gig, part of the 禁止(する)d’s mammoth Rhapsody 小旅行する, whatever he 配達するs should be みごたえのある. The 現在進行中の 共同 between Queen 創立者 members May and Roger Taylor and American singer Lambert honours the group’s 非常に高い 目録 of songs without lapsing into pastiche.

‘I’m pinching myself that we’re 現実に here,’ said May to a packed 円形競技場. 初めは scheduled for 2020 but twice 延期するd because of the pandemic, these are Queen’s first UK dates since 2018’s Bohemian Rhapsody biopic.?

‘Most of you bought tickets for this show two-and-a-half years ago, so this is an emotional moment,’ he went on.

He wasn’t wrong. The 150-minute, 28-song 業績/成果 連合させるd the raw energy of a classic 激しく揺する concert with the 数字表示式の bells and whistles of a modern pop 生産/産物.?

The audience, which 含むd a number of folk dressed as the late Freddie 水銀柱,温度計, 構成するd fans of all ages, 繰り返し言うing the 禁止(する)d’s cross-- generational 控訴,上告.

May teasingly introduced Lambert as ‘the new boy’. The 40-year-old former American Idol 走者-up wasn’t even born when Queen 解放(する)d their 早期に 1980s 攻撃する,衝突するs Under 圧力 and Another One Bites The Dust, but he has been capably filling the boots of 水銀柱,温度計, who died in 1991, for a 10年間 now. He’s more an old 手渡す than a young pretender.

To his credit, the Californian didn’t mimic Freddie’s moves. That would have been a mistake. Blessed with astonishing 声の 範囲 and ロケット/急騰する-propelled 力/強力にする, he has his own style. Cutting an 課すing 人物/姿/数字 in padded shoulders, an oversized 最高の,を越す hat and 壇・綱領・公約 boots, he held a 素晴らしい, high-pitched 公式文書,認める in a show-stopping finale to Somebody To Love ― a supersonic man in his own 権利.

But the 現在の incarnation of Queen really has two frontmen, and this was May’s show as much as Lambert’s.?

Wearing 黒人/ボイコット ジーンズs, trainers and a shirt with rolled-up sleeves (he later switched to a long, flowing jacket), the guitarist, 74, reeled off a string of scintillating 単独のs while patrolling a walkway. The 核心 trio, augmented by three 付加 musicians, began by 繰り返し言うing their 信任状 as 1970s hard-激しく揺する stalwarts. With drummer Taylor, 72, 錨,総合司会者ing the ensemble with panache and stamina, they raced through Now I’m Here, Seven Seas Of Rhye and 殺し屋 Queen.

If Lambert, at 十分な throttle, 欠如(する)d the more delicate touches Freddie occasionally brought to the 行う/開催する/段階, there was no 不足 of intimacy when May moved on to a smaller, acoustic 壇・綱領・公約 in the middle of the 円形競技場 to 成し遂げる Love Of My Life, a ‘単独の’ ballad that was …を伴ってd by thousands of fans singing with him while 持つ/拘留するing illuminated smartphones in the 空気/公表する.

With May 結局 joined by Taylor and Lambert, the trio sang the vintage album 削減(する) ’39. As he introduced the number, a sci-fi folk song about a time-travelling 宇宙飛行士, May, who has a 博士号 in astrophysics, gave fans a science lesson on the 速度(を上げる) of light and its 影響 on the passing of time. I got the gist of his 推論する/理由ing . . . or at least I think I did.

The latter part of the show placed more of an onus on singalongs from the classic pop group Queen became in the 1980s. I Want To Break 解放する/自由な was a 最高潮の場面. Plumes of 解雇する/砲火/射撃 発射 上向きs from May’s guitar in A 肉親,親類d Of 魔法.

With May standing on a 巨大(な) asteroid, surrounded by 軌道ing 惑星s, he also played an improvised 単独の based on the second movement of Dvorak’s New World Symphony. In truth, it went on a bit, but nobody 現在の was in the mood to begrudge one of 激しく揺する’s 広大な/多数の/重要な virtuosos a little indulgence.

As the show sped past the two-hour 示す, the thought occurred that Queen had yet to play some of their bigg est (人が)群がる-pleasers.?

They duly 強いるd by reeling off 無線で通信する Ga Ga, Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will 激しく揺する You and We Are The 支持する/優勝者s in succession.

Of course, Queen with Adam Lambert will never be Queen with Freddie 水銀柱,温度計, and that is 定評のある. ‘Just like all of you, I’m a fan,’ Lambert said.?

‘I’m lucky to have been 株ing a 行う/開催する/段階 with these two 激しく揺する’n’roll legends for ten years. I’m lucky to 支払う/賃金 尊敬の印 to their music . . . and the incomparable 激しく揺する god Freddie 水銀柱,温度計.’

It’s 平易な to see why May and Taylor wouldn’t want to give up on something as good as this. Any way the 勝利,勝つd blows, this was a magnificent return to the UK 行う/開催する/段階.

The Rhapsody 小旅行する continues tonight at SSE Hydro, Glasgow (ticketmaster.co.uk).
