Queen + Adam Lambert, Live Around The World. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

The cries of targeted derision are heard, the whispers will continue, that it’s just not Freddie up there on stage, pushing the crowd on, cajoling, entertaining, enticing, flirting at every opportunity, and in fairness they are right, it isn’t Freddie Mercury, the symbolic frontman who wowed Wembley in 1985, it isn’t the vocalist who brough tracks such as Bohemian Rhapsody and We Will Rock You to life as crowds gathered in Budapest, Maine Road or The Rainbow, but nobody ever will be, and that is the point, Queen lives on and despite everything that could have gone against them, all the publications and those who decided they were finished, the truth is Roger Taylor and Brian May, along with the exuberant and funny, the dashing and the playful Adam Lambert have created an energy, that may not be quite what you want to hear, but is certainly what you need to experience.

Liverpool Sound And Vision Review Of 2017.

The year has perhaps been one of diverse feelings across the board in Liverpool, one in which reflection, triumphant returns, masterpieces and some sadness has been experienced. The Playhouse Theatre has undergone work for a while and yet held inside its doors one of the most magnificent scenes caught on camera as Annette Bening and Jamie Bell recreated one of the last days of the film star Gloria Graham for the cinematic love letter, Film Stars Don’t Die In Liverpool. The much loved Unity Theatre closed its doors for a time and reopened with a flourish as it too underwent a change in its decor and look and yet still retains the welcome that makes it one of the places to visit in the city.

The entrance tickets would have been smouldering away in the pockets of the audience for months, they would have been hidden in secret draws and in the realms of closets, opened every so often just to make sure they were still there, not squirreled away by jealous borrowers or fanatical fans who had not been able to secure a ticket of their own. On a night which temptation was possible, in which the heat of the performance would have burst into raptures of flames; Queen and Adam Lambert made good on a long standing unspoken promise and came to Liverpool to raise the roof.
