7 July 2023 Sunderland: A Queen Concert of a Sort

 


Queen was one of my favorite bands when I was back in high school.  It was the first live music I ever saw as a young adult, so who could pass up this trip down memory lane?  Radio GaGa is the name of the tribute band that we watched at the Tyne Theater and Opera House.  This theater reminded us of the Vaudeville theater in London where we saw "Six" as it was also an intimate house and the show is in concert format.  The crowd participation was at a 75 to 80 percent level.  The videos did not pick up on how many folds were singing the high parts for the singer.



They have let all the folks in


Right across from the old wall


The Gins selection was not sampled

We are first row balcony


We are almost sitting center to the stage


Lovely ceiling

Oh my women with mustaches.  They are dressed as Freddy Murcury was in the Queen Video for "I Got to Break Free"
