Nope. Kind of a big deal!

Also, they scrubbed Song for the Dead in favor of Paper Machete. Apparently, the drum tech ran into some trouble, so they didn't have enough time. No idea how accurate the last part is though.

Seems like it had a rest for a while, but it's opened six of the last eight shows.

Always glad to hear songs from the best Queens record!

I bought a ticket to see them next year but I'm still kind of on the fence.

I thought Regular John was rare before this tour. Guess I don't know shit.

I was going to buy tickets to see them when they come here, and maybe I just haven't been to a show in a while, and that's why the price shocked me some - but I'm not spending $170 on a single concert ticket

Just saw them last Friday in San Diego.
We know these guys are as tight as can be playing live, yet every time I see them, I get to re-learn that bit.
Many moments from this show will stick with me, but the very start of this show will be above the rest for me:
House lights out, pretty dark in the arena as Peggy Lee's version of "Smile" is fading out over the PA, then boom! We get to kick the night off with "No One Knows". Not a lot of bands today can start start a show like that. And those who can, struggle to maintain that energy level and engagement. Not these guys.

Thats a wonderful setlist!

Monsters in the Parasol damn!

Wedging "The Way You Used to Do" between "Carnavoyeur" and "Battery Acid" is a crime. Talk about a speedbump.

yeah awful song but maybe if you needed to take a leak or buy a coke is a good moment

I’d love to see these guys live. They’re at the top of my concert bucket list.

Vitalogist · Post by **Vitalogist** » Tue January 30, 2024 4:07 pm

I have to correct myself on Like Clockwork. I’ve been listening more, and it might be in my top spot now.

I don't get why "Villains" scores so low among fans.
I love it.

I really hate it

Never come back to it really. Its the production and the songs themselves.
