I was on the fence about this show. It's not something I would have thought to buy tickets for. Not that I have anything against Adam Lambert. I think he is incredibly talented... but this is Queen we are talking about. And I guess I felt too stingy with my money to consider buying tickets for this particular collaboration. But free tickets? That's another story... so when my friend, Stephani told me that she wanted to go to this show and knowing that KLOS was giving away tickets, I had to at least try to win. And win is what I did. 

I appreciate that Queen markets these shows as "Queen featuring Adam Lambert"... everyone knows that Freddie Mercury can never be replaced. But the music lives on and whether its Queen featuring Paul Rodgers or Queen featuring whoever...I was happy to have the opportunity to hear the music that shaped my childhood live and in person. And the fact that they paid tribute to Freddie with video footage really made it come to life.
An amazing night with a good friend. I couldn't ask for more.
