So, last night I saw One Night of Queen at the Long Center. So freaking good. Basically, this show is a two hour set of The Works covering Queen music. How wonderful, yes?
After the show, I was thinking about what I thought made the show so great…aside from the obvious answer of “the music”, one element of the experience I found so appealing was the crowd. Why? Well, because there were people there of all ages…equally enjoying the evening. Queen just seems to be a timeless classic that appeals to people of all ages. I had a row of older people on my right, a handful of middle aged people behind me and high school aged kids in front…all loving it!
I also said this about the Wilco show I saw a few months back, but last night, the performers and their stage presence were pretty darn phenomenal. The lead singer was wonderful and engaging, interacting with and including the audience, which from a branding perspective I think is pretty big. I might even say it’s HUGE.
Anyway, all in all, amazing wonderful night. Enjoy this clip I put together from last nights show (=
One more quick side note. Please look at the lower right corner of this picture and observe which seat number I had. 111!!!!! And no, I did not pick my tickets. The 111 saga ensues…
I am so jealous, you don’t even know how much I would have wanted to go to this.
Get on your bikes and ride!
I know – wish you could have been there! Reminded me a bit of when we saw Rock of Ages last year!
