Queen + Paul Rodgers, Brixton Academy, London (GB) - Mar 28, 2005

Rock band Queen, or at least half of them, returned to touring after 19 years with this gig at Brixton Academy, just to warm up, like. It was a great night, but the intro music must have been half an hour if it was a minute, and there were a few rough edges to the show which would be ironed out with greater familiarity from Paul Rodgers. BUT: Rodgers is a class singer, a cut above anyone else in his genre. And Queen are one of the greatest bands in the history of rock. x
