With their new singer guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor delight the fans and themselves.

" Look away her energy for Queen on ? Or are exhausted her of Seiler & Spear ? " In the middle of the set of his band Wanda Wednesday night at the Stadium of Linz , singer Marco had his audience to ask this question . For the 15,000 visitors to the " Steel City " festival wanted to after they had previously been good in mood at Seiler & Speer , can not be swept right from hits such as " My two sisters " or " Bussi Baby " . The band took it with humor . Because for most of the festival was a Queen concert - with many opening acts .

Sure, now it has indeed been widely spread : Singer Adam Lambert is the band that wrote the 1991 late singer Freddie Mercury music history , a fluke. Of course , Mercury , he can not be replaced , it does not even try . " Thank you can celebrate the great music of Queen with you myself ," he said at the beginning . And these are precisely the Queen concerts today : Unforgettable rock classics come to life again . " One Vision " , " Fat Bottomed Girl " , " Killer Queen " and , and , and .

For two hours lined up a hit to the other . Already alone would make for a fun evening . But Lambert , the Queen met during an appearance at the talent show " American Idol " is certainly the best possible approach to Mercury . Unlike its predecessor , the earthy , sober Paul Rodgers from the band Free , brings Lambert - as once Mercury - with stolzierendem gear , grand gestures and glitter or feathers outfits glamor , wit and winking pompous posturing on stage . But most of all he convinced with his voice : It is safe in every pitch , in the heights of strong and dynamic at the harder rock passages . He makes " Who Wants To Live Forever " and " Somebody To Love" highlights .

There is also a drum duel of Roger Taylor and his son Rufus , an acoustic set with guitarist Brian May , alone with the audience ( and, later, with the well-established on the video wall Freddie ) sings " Love Of My Life" , Granted , on electric guitar May this day, not all solos as desired. But he makes up for with his passion . It emits just because he stand on the stage and allowed to play his instrument . His famous long solo , in which he lays over it via its echo harmonies , retreaded and no longer follows the classical structure of Yesteryear . But the final with " Bohemian Rhapsody " , " We Will Rock You " and "We Are The Champions " is again quite traditional . And grin at the end and emit 15,000 happy " Steel City " -Visitors just like Brian May .
