From Queen + Adam Lambert latest tour, Kiev and Moscow followed by Poland, July 7th Poland recorded Wrocław ‘s performance for 2 hours and 7 minutes with high – quality audience recording. Although the festival took place at a huge stadium venue, the diffusion of sound is felt, although the focus of the sound is not as matched as Moscow is ahead (sound is somewhat distant, there is an echo feeling), but still too high enough sound quality Therefore, fans are definitely listening. Because of the short tour, the set is the same, there is no surprise like Moscow performance “Life Is Real”, but this day we are showing the most gathering performance at the opening 3 performances. However, the big mistone that can destroy Brian’s songs in the second half (4:24) following the end of Bohemian Rhapsody’s first long guitar solo (2: 03) has a run away (spike’s piano is also drawn to make a mistone. It is an important exciting part, I have never heard of such a thing like this!). Adam’s vocals are stable and the best, let’s hear a strong ad-lib everywhere, and admire the listener. The set of the latest tour filled with colorful listening place is wonderful, especially Seven Seas Of Rye ~ Keep Yourself Alive at the beginning which is reminiscent of the Works tour is excited even if hearing it many times. For some reason, We Will Rock You (Fast), whose members all of us have forgotten their composition in the latter half of the show, and has become a memorable performance over the course of the day, is playing with Kichin this day. In Love Of My Life, Bohemian Rhapsody, Freddie’s singing voice flows with the screen, and the place where the crowd sends anger waves is moving. The Show Must Go On makes listening to vocals with large scale listening place in the second half. After the last part ‘s Tie Your Mother Down, it seems that the venue has grown up or somewhat unclear sound (Is not it Bryan’ s lead vocal being heard well by Tie Your Mother Down because of recording? PA It is unknown whether it is due to the fact that it is unknown.), Since the main set until that time is sufficiently well recorded, you can enjoy plenty. God Save The Queen after the performance has started flowing after 1 minute 30 seconds after the We Are The Champions show (technical trouble?). The concert itself is very wonderful, as the tour of Queen + Adam Lambert has ended with the London Hammersmith 3 performances on the 14th July the first time, for the fans the best The record will become important. One must-have piece is a limited release decision than the popular Uxbridge label.

★ It is a review summary of beatleg magazine vol.147 (October 2012 issue). For your information.

In the closing ceremony of London Olympic Games, Brian May and Roger Taylor who had Jesse Jay as a vocal and showed off “We Will Rock You”, this is a short comed in July with Adam Lambert as a vocalist · Those who caught Poland’s Wrocław performances, which corresponds to 3 performances, from the tour by audience recording. Regarding the performance of this Queen + Adam Lambert, referring to the review of “Life Is Real: Moscow 2012 (Uxbridge 451)” mentioned in the previous issue, the biggest topic of this performance will be Brian’s solo stage and “Last Horizon” was added to “Guitar Solo” before. This song from Brian’s solo album “Back To The Light” is Brian’s favorite number, and it was always played on a tour with Paul Rodgers. Although the set list was solidified with only pure queen numbers in the two previous performances, Brian ‘s desire to play this song after the performances again is strengthened. Besides, unlike past performance style, Brian’s feeling is deeper than simple spiritual performance by only two people with Spike · Edny. Throughout the tone quality itself is good, but there are audiences raising a yellow cheer around the recorder, so you might be misunderstood as if it is a Japanese performance. However, after recording “Tie Your Mother Down”, it is interesting that the recording person moved the seat, that sound is caught in Sakai and the sound image becomes distant, but the annoying cheers can not be heard. God Save The Queen “which did not flow in Kiev and Moscow, but here it is strange that it has flowed after about a minute and a half since the performance of” We Are The Champions “.

★ In 2011 it was released for 20 sets only, and the name sound source title that gained popularity from fans and media has been re-released for the first time in 7 years.

クイーン+アダム・ランバート最新ツアーより、キエフ、モスクワに続いて行われた、7月7日のポーランドはヴロツワフ公演を高音質オーディエンス録音で2時間7分完全収録。巨大なスタジアム会場で行われたフェスティバル故、音の拡散は感じられ、先のモスクワほど音の焦点は合っていないものの(やや音が遠く、エコー感がある)、それでも、十分過ぎるほどの高音質故に、ファンは間違いなく必聴です。ショートツアーゆえ、セットは同じで、モスクワ公演の「Life Is Real」のような驚きはありませんが、この日は冒頭3公演では、最もまとまりのある演奏を披露しています。ただしBohemian Rhapsodyの最初のロングギターソロの終わり(2:03)に続く、後半(4:24)でのブライアンの楽曲をぶち壊しかねない大ミストーンは失点(スパイクのピアノもつられてミストーンを出しています。重要な盛り上がりパートで、こんなのかつて聴いたことありません!)。アダムのボーカルは安定しており最高で、各所で強烈なアドリブを聞かせ、聴き手を感嘆させます。カラフルな聴き所に満ちた最新ツアーのセットは素晴らしく、特にWorksツアーを彷彿とさせる冒頭のSeven Seas Of Rye~Keep Yourself Aliveは何回聞いても興奮させられます。なぜか、ロンドン公演では、メンバー全員が後半、構成を失念し、連日に渡ってメチャクチャな演奏になっているWe Will Rock You (Fast)も、この日はキチンと演奏されています。Love Of My Life、Bohemian Rhapsodyではフレディの歌声がスクリーンと共に流れ、観客が怒涛の声援を送るところは感動的。スケールの大きなボーカルを聴かせるThe Show Must Go Onは後半の聴き所。ラストパートのTie Your Mother Down以降は、会場が総立ちになったのか、やや音が不鮮明になる感じですが(Tie Your Mother Downでブライアンのリードボーカルが良く聴こえないのは録音のせいなのか、PAのせいなのか不明。)、その前はまでのメインセットは十分に良く録れていますので、たっぷりと楽しむことができます。終演後のGod Save The Queenが、We Are The Champions終演後、1分30秒近く経ってから流れ始めたりしています(テクニカルトラブル?)。コンサート自体は非常に素晴らしい上、そもそも、先の7月14日のロンドン・ハマースミス3公演で、クイーン+アダム・ランバートのツアーは終了しているので、ファンにとっては、その一公演毎の最良の記録が大切になっていくことでしょう。ファン必携の一枚が、好評Uxbridge レーベルより限定リリース決定です。

★beatleg誌 vol.147(2012年10月号)のレビュー要約です。ご参考まで。

ロンドン・オリンピックの閉会式ではジェシー・ジェイをヴォーカルに迎えて「We Will Rock You」を披露したブライアン・メイとロジャー・テイラーだが、これはアダム・ランバートをヴォーカルに立てて7月に行われたショート・ツアーの中から、3公演目にあたるポーランドのヴロツワフ公演をオーディエンス録音にて捕らえたもの。このクイーン+アダム・ランバートの演奏については前号で取り上げた『Life Is Real : Moscow 2012 (Uxbridge 451)』のレビューを参照いただくとして、この公演の最大のトピックとなるのは、ブライアンの独り舞台となる「Guitar Solo」の前に「Last Horizon」が追加されたことだ。ブライアンのソロ・アルバム『Back To The Light』からのこの曲はブライアンのお気に入りのナンバーであり、ポール・ロジャースとのツアーでも必ず演奏されたくらいだ。先の2公演では純然たるクイーン・ナンバーばかりでセットリストは固められたが、やはり公演を重ねるに連れ、この曲を演奏したいというブライアンの欲求は強まったのだろう。しかも、これまでの演奏スタイルとは違い、スパイク・エドニーとの2人だけによるシンプルな演奏なので、よりブライアンの情緒が深い感じだ。全体を通して音質自体は良好だが、録音機周辺に黄色い歓声を上げている観客が居るため、まるで日本公演かと勘違いさせられてしまうかもしれない。しかし、「Tie Your Mother Down」以降に録音者は席を移動したのか、それを堺に音はこもり、音像は遠くなるものの、その煩い歓声も聴こえなくなるのが面白い。キエフとモスクワでは流れなかった「God Save The Queen」だが、ここでは「We Are The Champions」の演奏後に1分半近く経ってから流れていることも不思議である。
