Cologne
Royal: Queen in Cologne
Cologne. The BAND also without Freddie Mercury Köln lived up to their huge name
From Oliver Burwig
When Brian May with his grey-curly perm steps on the stage and plays the first chords of "One of vision", an acoustic board flies to the fans in the Rhine energy stadium in the face. Mays usually throaty guitar and the excellent voice Adam Lamberts roar into each other, no word, no tone is to be distinguished from the other. Queen begin her concert above all loudly. However, when the sound penetrates after some songs more differentiated from the loudspeakers, the spectator draws a deep breath - and experiences a show which does all credit to the Freddie late his in 1991 as a result of AIDS illness Mercury.
Since although 34-year-old Lambert avoids imitating this, and as a Mercurys place holder presents himself ("Thank you for letting me sing for you tonight!" ), he steps as a fluorescent, eccentric stage figure in his footprint. Lambert who got via "American Idol" to bigger fame first in 2009 by the casting show stands out between more than 30 year older May and the bearded drummer Roger Taylor. In highheeled shoes he minces the stage footbridge in the direction of audience, hits in a black-pinnate costume with the arms and pulls down gigantic sunglasses, only to reveal under it a smaller one. He swaggers in a leather jacket, dances with an umbrella, wobbles with the bottom and lolls about after several costume changes with "Killer queen" in a glittering throne. Besides, he masters the deep and gurgling Elvis tones in "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and the falsetto at the end of "Somebody To Love". And the audience joins in the singing in spite of the downpours in "Radio Gaga" or "I want it all" 1000-voices.
While real flashes about the sky twitch sits down Brian May for the acoustic ballad "Love Of My Life" in the rain to make shortly after room for his drummer Roger Taylor. He sings the slow piece "These are The Days Of Our Lives" and plays in addition the guitar, proceeds shortly after again to the Drumset to fight a duel with his son Rufus Taylor who plays on the second percussion. Then again Brian May whom a small stage drives with Guitar-solo upwards, until he comes before the gigantic orange-beaming sun to the standing position and the fans only his silhouette recognise. Whale songs and overlapping echoes stamp the psychedelic play Mays, until he starts the rock'n'roll piece "Tie Your Mother Down".
Optically impressively the roof from light with dozens of lasers. Nearly handy the laburnum (goldenrain) seems to come down after the additions "We will rock you" and "We are the champions" about the soaked spectators in the first rows. May has whipped on a sort of silver magic coat for the last songs still fast, Adam Lambert says goodbye with a silver crown on his head.
