The Queen and Adam Lambert tour just finished its Brisbane Entertainment Centre concert and they left the audience in absolute awe.
The Sunday Morning Herald's review calls the legendary performance a "reunion, tribute and baton-passing" rock and roll show with Queen and Lambert delivering "just over two hours of pure sensation straight into the nerves and bones of anyone fortunate enough to witness it."
The review notes that there was still some reluctance from fans when the group's new frontman first appeared on stage. Lambert's "brash delivery and flamboyant stage persona," however, won the crowd over.
By the time the Grammy nominated singer belted out his own cheeky version of 'Killer Queen'-complete with a chaise lounge and a fan-he had already made the crowd "eat out of his hand."
The 'For Your Entertainment' singer further solidified the crowd's approval by thanking them "for suspending their disbelief to let him sing the music, and paying tribute to the late, great Freddie Mercury."
The review continued, "It cements the audience's approval: this man is not trying to be Freddie. He loves him as much as we do, he just sings better than we do at 2am karaoke."
Brian May, on the other hand, didn't just sit back and let their "new man" take centerstage the whole time. He also stepped up and showed off his legendary guitar skills.
He even used a monopod to take a video of the crowd after singing a highly emotional rendition of "Love Of My Life" dedicated to Mercury.
Drummer Roger Taylor had his moment as well. He impressed the audience with his version of "A Kind Of Magic" and had a duet with his son, Rufus Tiger Taylor, reportedly prompting one concert-goer to shout "You've still got it, old man!"
The SMH review continued to praise the group's synergy, writing as conclusion, "It's rare to find a band that everyone likes, with such a musically strong and well-known repertoire."
Adding, "It's also rare to find a talent like Lambert, able to channel his vocal power into a respectful but not slavish interpretation of Mercury's works. Freddie may be gone, but he would surely approve."
The group has been impressing the crowds in almost every concert of the Queen and Adam Lambert tour. They even had another singer who has a flare for the dramatics join them for one song during the group's Sydney stop.
Lady Gaga went on stage to join Lambert in singing "Another One Bites The Dust," delighting the audience attending the Queen and Adam Lambert tour in the Allphones Arena.
Lambert uploaded a photo of him and Gaga on Instagram later on that night with the caption, "So much fun tonight." It looks like he's been having so much fun all the nights of the tour.
