I suspect we are since I brought mine to the Q&PR show in Vegas a few years ago and didn't get strip searched at the door. Thankfully the Jack Singer Concert Hall isn't that big so I should be able to get a few decent shots and do a blog entry on the Calgary show. <br /><br />I think I read somewhere that Roger is rumoured to be coming to Calgary, which would be cool, so we'll see I guess.Patrick Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05598733699972746754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900274368476921717.post-31037108164096894412012-07-01T13:21:50.488-06:002012-07-01T13:21:50.488-06:00Saw the show in Vancouver last night.

These folks simply are excellent musicians who put on a wicked, well-paced performance. Yes, they play most of the hits but, as Martel told us, "we know there's lots of Queen geeks here tonight, so we'll play some other stuff, too, like Lap of the Gods... one AND two..."<br /><br />All the members gave very good performances but Martel takes the show beyond a simple tribute; he truly does sound like Freddie. All in all, well worth the pittance the tix cost. Don't believe the local previews, there's no cheese in this show, just good musicianship, stellar material and a howling party atmosphere: Queen fans, aged seven to seventy, back in the moment again.<br /><br />- Married to a Queen Geek.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
