Highlights of the European Q&AL Tour



After a long time waiting for them, the European fans finally could make their dream come true. 
2015 started with “rock royalty Queen & the amazing "Gift from God"American frontman Adam Lambert touring most parts of the continent. 

25 concerts in 10 countries.

The first stop was in Newcastle (UK) on January 13th. 

There were a lot of memorable moments, so we decided to pick some of them and remember together this amazing part of their and our lives.

There we go!


One Vision

This gives us high levels of adrenaline maybe because it’s the opening song, the one that brings Queen & Adam Lambert on stage
It’s a high-energy beat and the lights, the sound and the stupendous gold and leather outfit simply take your breath away.

This one opens one of the most special gigs of the tour, definitely.

Kӧln, Germany (January 29th)





Talking about Kӧln, this was the nicest moment of the night. 
I’m sure it’s pretty amazing to have more than 15 000 people singing „Happy Birthday” for you. 
Adam’s face says everything.






Stone Cold Crazy

Energy, energy, energy.
Let’s get crazy!”...and so it goes!


Leeds, UK (January 20th)






Another One Bites The Dust

Favourite funky beats, for sure. And those moves...

Nottingham, UK (January 24th)






Fat Bottomed Girls

Mmm this one is really special. What a night!
I can see myself there in the first row...and still can't believe I took part of that show. 

"That's right, Vienna!"

Fierce!

Vienna, Austria (February 1st)






In The Lap Of The Gods
Amazing lights and effects!

Seven Seas of Rhye

"Are you ready?"

Killer Queen
Definitely one of the favourite moments of the audiences all over. He's got all the ingredients needed.
Pure joy!

*Speech*
Honesty, humbleness, love and full respect for Freddie. All coming from this amazing artist and human being. 
Audience's feedback says it all.

I Want To Break Free

Freddie's and also Adam's anthem for the need of being able to be who you wanna be in this world full of superficiality.
Lovely his way of interaction with fans.

London1, UK (January 17th)







Don't Stop Me Now


One of Queen's biggest hits.

Wembley was a great audience!

London3, UK (February 24th)






Somebody To Love


"Who is in love? I'm not... 

Yeah, sometimes being on tour is very lonely..but I have you guys tonight, yeah?
And I'm getting through a little cold, but you're the best medicine. So thank you!"

Remember when Adam was diagnosed with severe bronchitis? Well, this was his first show right after the one they unfortunately cancelled.

All I can say is...HOLY VOCALS!

Milan, Italy (February 10th)







Love Of My Life

This song is a symbol for Queen.

I still have in mind this moment. Brian's "Don't be shy!" was so cute!
He is simply adorable! Great example for all the artists!


Prague, Czech Republic (February 17th)









'39


Brian May gives a lesson of astrophysics and presents the "astronauts".

What a great team!


Frankfurt, Germany (February 7th)








These Are The Days Of Our Lives


This brings a lot of memories to everyone: Brian, Roger, Queen fans.

Roger's vocals are admirable.


Manchester, UK (January 21th)








A Kind Of Magic

Written and sung by Roger Taylor

Zürich, Switzerland (February 19th)







Bass Solo
Drum Battle

Neil Fairclough on the bass becomes the spotlight and right after the "battle" between Roger and Rufus gets full appreciation.

Under Pressure

What an amazing duet! Beautiful collaboration!

Personal favourite song.

The a cappella part is breathtaking.
Soulful, touching, meaningful.

Perfection in both Adam's voice and Brian's guitar.
The lasers and the crystal ball make this moment even more special.

Guitar God  Mr Brian May in all his glory.

Amsterdam, The Netherlands (January 30th)

Young Mr Taylor doing great job while the audience is being prepared for the upcoming part of the gig.

Some of my personal favourite minutes of the tour.

Adam loves playing with the audiences, but Hamburg was really impressive!
See the feedback? That's an audience! And a great entertainerLook at his happy face!


Hamburg, Germany (February 5th)





Dragon Attack

Sung only a few times through the European tour, the Polish had the opportunity to get funky with these beats.

First of all, I love the message of the song. It's universal...timeless.
The beginning was praised by everyone. Adam and Brian sound divine!


Herning, Denmark (February 15th)








Radio Gaga

Unforgettable. 

Vienna, Austria (February 1st)








Crazy Little Thing Called Love


"Fouuuuu!"
Haha, this is so funny!

Great response to Brian May's "Qu'est-ce que vous pensez...?". And finally the "trés chic" is the cherry on top.

It's pretty obvious that French people enjoyed the concert and loved Adam as well!


Paris, France (January 26th)









The Show Must Go On

Another majestic Queen song, unfortunately also played only a few times.

That end...!



Hamburg, Germany (February 5th)








Bohemian Rhapsody


Beautiful and complex song.
Freddie's appearance makes the audiences go crazy and the final "duet" of Adam and Freddie is touching.

Also, can't help thinking of Adam's audition on American Idol in 2009...this is the song that practically changed his entire life.


Newcastle, UK (January 13th)









We Will Rock You

We Are The Champions


The classic end of their shows with two of the most popular songs.

The final outfit with the crown on Adam's head presenting the King of Queen. 
The bows along with the roaring audience.

The end of an incredible night and tour.


Sheffield, UK (February 27th)

Adam in the crowd
