Rock Concert Review: Queen + Adam Lambert — Close to the Real Thing

Now more than ever, “the people,” of all ages, want Queen. How lucky we are that Lambert, May, and Taylor are willing and able to deliver.

By: Adam Ellsworth Filed Under: Featured, Music, Review, Rock Tagged: Brian May, Queen, Queen + Adam Lambert, Roger Taylor

Film Review: “Bohemian Rhapsody” — Pure Pleasure

The film captures everything I love about Queen — the outrageousness, the audacity, the bigness of it all.

By: Adam Ellsworth Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Bohemian Rhapsody, Bryan Singer, Freddie Mercury, Queen, Rami Malek

Rock CD Review: Queen, “Live at the Rainbow ‘74” — Before They Were Massive
