I saw them on Saturday and loved it! Brian & Roger were amazing. Paul got the job done, but obviously was no Freddie. They did a different version of "We are the Champions" that made the song sound more like a Bad Company tune than Queen - I thought that was odd. One of the best parts was when they did "Bohemian Rhapsody". The way they played footage & audio of Freddie singing the intro brought alot of people literally to tears. Then when the rock part of the song kicks in, Paul & Freddie shared vocals. I thought it was a cool way of doing it. I also liked when Roger stepped out from behind the drums and sang "These Are The Days Of Our Lives" while they showed footage of a very young Queen in Japan. Beisdes all the footage of Freddie, there was also stuff with John as if to say, "we wish you were here on stage with us as well". Overall, I enjoyed the show. Needless to say I liked it better when I saw them back in 1980.
