The Anthem band

Radio Ga, Ga and Bohemian Rhapsody and We Are the Champions brought the house down, literally.
As I walked away from the show, my heart pounding and head buzzing the thing that struck me the most, beyond May’s brilliant guitar playing and Taylor’s amazing drumming was that Queen did not write songs. They wrote anthems. Anthems to go with possibly every stage of life for every kind of person. I mean there is scarcely a song of their’s that cannot get a small crowd or a packed stadium clapping and singing in unison. And that is just, just brilliant.
