Despite being only half the orginal line-up this was a night to remember. Adam filled the late great Freddie Mercury's shoes admirably while not making it feel like celebrity kareoke.
The audience was caught up in the theatricality and the atmosphere was elecric through out.
A great mixture of ages and there was something for everyone, from their epic rock anthems, perfectly pitched ballads and amazing individual brilliance from Brian May and Roger Taylor.
There was a real camaraderie amongst all those on stage - after all this was the second to last show of their fantastic tour.

Having been a fan of Queens for many years and supporting Adam Lambert throughout Idols, it was the best show ever. Absolutely LOVED it. Will definitely buy tickets for the floor area next time.

Fantastic professional show. Awesome venue. I admired the band and Adams acknowedglment of each others professionalism. Adam wasn't trying to be Freddy and was fantastic in his own right.

We were so looking forward to the concert. We have loved Queen for years and when we saw Adam Lambert come 2nd (he definitely deserved 1st) in American Idol, we knew we would be in for a great night. We were not disappointed! It was very moving to see Freddie being brought back in throughout the night. It was done with the greatest respect to him. Adam's voice was equally strong, but he did not try to imitate Freddie. It was a great night with great staging and would have to be one of the best concerts that we have been to.

Great concert. Adam Lambert was fantastic. Downside was that it was too loud and the strobe lights were blinding. Roger Taylor's drum battle was fantastic but Brian May's guitar solo went on a little too long. Started 30 mins late too. Still enjoyed the concert but volume should have been turned down just a fraction.

The concert was amazing, I am a huge fan of Adam Lambert. What an awesome performer. I thought they should have had intermission as when all band members left stage at one point to costume change, they left the lead guitarist to do a solo performance and I found this to lag on for quite some time and was boring.

Probably the most professionally executed concert I have attended. Perfect from the first song to the last. Adam Lambert is a very special performer. He has an amazing voice and I was surprised that at no point in the concert did I think it would have been better with Freddy. There was only one Freddy Mercury but there is also only one Adam Lambert . The rapport he has with Brian May and Roger Taylor was obvious and the two remaining members of Queen seemed to really enjoy the opportunity to play their back catalogue.

No doubt the show was great. Enjoyed all the songs and light show - sound really good.
Only down part was where we were sitting, one of the largest of the speakers completely wiped out me being able to see when the middle screen was being used. Tried moving either way, but that did not help.

Great show and Queen were as good as they were back in the 80's. I was not familiar with Adam Lambert prior to the show but was most impressed with his vocal range and personality. It was also good that he did not attempt to impersonate Freddy. The variety also added to the show with the band showing their versatility. Long live the Queen.

An absolutely amazing experience. Adam Lambert excelled, he showed such amazing showmanship & played the part perfectly, to the point that one could imagine that thats how Freddie would have been. Vocals were incredible, Freddie would be so proud.
Brian May is a truely amazing musician & has incredible stamina to do the whole show with such passion & love for his craft.
Would love to see it all over again was definately worth it.

A fantastic concert! The music was amazing, Adam Lambert was an excellent choice to replace Freddie, as front man, given the strength and scale of his voice.

It was great to see Brian May and Roger Taylor take center stage, and fantastic that they are still as talented as they were when Queen was at its highest.
