Queen - I

So there I was, among 5,000 fans, as Paul Rodgers warmed us up belting out Fat Bottomed Girls and Tie Your Mother Down. Just as the crowd was getting over the euphoria of hearing these songs played live, and beginning to cotton on to Paul’s lack of intensity and suitability, the stage went dark.
Brian May then came onto the edge of the ramp, sat on a stool and sang an acoustic love song. To appreciate the risk of this (and the confidence of May), you have to keep in mind a huge crowd, a massive stage, et al.
