Any doubts you may have are blown firmly out of the window by the sheer energy and electrifying sounds of all the classic Queen hits with the showmanship of Adam Lambert a superb choice of frontman.
From Brian May's touching tribute to a wonderful duet between Lambert and the late great Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody, this is a great gig.
A triumphant encore of We Will Rock You and We are the Champions sends everyone into the night on a high.

Wow this was so good! Had my doubts, having seen Queen live at Western Springs when they were last out here, but crikey that boy could sing. Loved the way the remaining members of Queen did their own solos, loved the battle of the drums between father and son, loved the fact that Adam Lambert didn't try to be Freddy and made the songs his own. They all looked like they were having such good fun. The laser light shows were fantastic. It was just AMAZING.

Disappointed with the seats however. I made an effort to buy the early bird tickets, not wanting to miss out. The seats were high enough up to cause altitude sickness and the view was obscured by the equipment hanging from the ceiling directly above the stage. What do you have to do to get good seats?

Wow, wow, wow!! What an amazing show. From beginning to end, all Queen at their superb best. Adam Lambert did a wonderful job of singing and would be a credit to any group, but for me it was all about Brian May and Roger Taylor. And we got plenty of them. I absolutely loved it.

Wow what an awesome concert, would be the best concert I have ever been to. Loved Brian and roger, loved Adam he can not only sing but engages the audience with his stage performance. Loved seeing Freddie on the big screen no one in this world can or will ever sing like he did. The other band members also were great. Cant say enough about it. Wish I could have got tickets for the 2nd concert...

Brian May WOW you are a legend i could listen to you and your guitar forever ....... Roger Taylor magnificent - thank you for the next generation, he did you proud. Brian and Roger very cleaver, you nailed it with Adam. Great mix. I had a fantastic time and would go and see them again.

What a fantastic integration of the past and future "Queen" experience. We all loved Freddie but we loved the band too. This concert showed a superb mix of old and new style and sound.
A truly new generation of "Queen". YES we love Adam, he is dynamic, entertaining and has a super powerful voice he oozes charm and personality.

The display screen made the whole performance visible to those of us further away.
This was also my 20yr old son's first concert. He knows it will be very hard to beat.

THANKS GUYS FOR A TRULY ONCE IN A LIFETIME MEMORY, PLEASE COME BACK TO
NEW ZEALAND, AND KEEP MAKING MUSIC!

If I couldn't have Freddie, Adam was the next best thing. Unbelievable!!! His talent is supreme and I loved the fact he didn't try to impersonate Freddie, he put his own twist to the songs. Brian May and Roger Taylor were everything I expected - like a fine wine, they have matured brilliantly. Adored Rufus too. It was a magnetic show and I loved the fact each had their own spotlight. Loved every moment and didn't want it to end.

The best concert I've been to. Adam Lambert was great as Adam Lambert and very pleased that he didn't pretend to be Freddie Mercury. It was great to have solo performances by the other band members too and to also incorporate Freddie into the show. Absolutely Awesome and the lighting was amazing. They were on stage from 8.15 to 10.30 pm with no intermission, so felt we really got out money's worth.

Although the concert was late starting it was an absolutely amazing night and one that wont be forgotten in a hurry.

I took my parents and my 11 year old daughter to see Queen and Adam Lambert. It was
amazing and unforgettable. I wondered how my parents would fine Adam being in their 70's and only really knowing Freddie. They loved it and were really impressed about what great vocals Adam has. Adam is a beautiful sexy man and he made the experience very memorable with the right amount of grace to give time to the band and the memory of Freddie.
