....it was our 3rd time over the course of years to go to this event and I must say this time I was very disappointed, it was good but not as FANTASTIC as in the past!
The title It's a Kinda Magic says it all. You will be transformed in time to the 70's or early 80's. The artists are amazing, working really hard to entertain the public. Personally, it is the first time, when I see Rock'n'Roll performers really trying their best. After the show they came out to meet the public in the lobby and to sign autographs. Highly recommended.
the show was fantastick! I would recommend this to anyone! Very entertaining. It was a s close as you can get to the real thing!
I was not sure about going to the show. My girlfriend talked me into it and I'm glad she did. It was awesome! Surprised the hell out of me.
It felt like we were watching Freddie himself. The band was great-talented! Performers included the audience and created a wonderful atmosphere! The show was longer than I expected- worth every moment.
I went to this concert expecting a mere shadow of the terrific music and stage performances of Queen. Instead, I saw an action-packed show full of wild stage antics, impressive light-work, and Queenerific musical performances. I never wanted this show to end and I would be happy to go and see it again 20 more times.
We really like the concert it should have been at the saddle dome.
I had such a sore throad the next day- because I was singing and dancing and and laughing the night before at the concert. I felt like a kid again- brining back the songs and memories of my youth- it was just a fantastic concenrt- I would recomend it to anyone- as a matter of fact I have to many of my friends!
The band was awesome!!!!! The lead singer was creepy.... a 50 year old lead with a group of young men, he was all over them. The lead singer was very high on himself.... but could not even carry a note. We left at the intermission for we were quite put off.
This concert was awesome. I unfortunately never got the chance to see Freddie Mercury, but this was the next best thing. I was a little apprehensive at first, thinking no one can replace Freddie (and no one can) but the lead singer of this band was really good and his mannerisms were so close to Freddie!
Its was as if we were blessed with a Freddie resurrection...thought the band was great too. Queen was my generational band and we took our 19 year old son who absolutely loved it as well. Good music and performance have no generational gap !!
Great energy. Great voice. Brings back memories! Fun for everyone
First time we go to the Red Robinson. Never having the chance to see the real Queen this was the best next thing I could do. We were amazed at the venue, great theater, good sound and you could probably have a great view in every single seat of the theater. Queen - It's a kind of magic, was amazing too. And I was incredibly please when they played 5 of my all time favorite Queen songs. Including Don't Stop me now, Spread your wings and I want to break free. Overall great experience, great show and great venue. We would go again without thinking about it twice.
Overall thought the show was very professional and well done. Performance was high energy and they played all the hits I was hoping to hear. I was expecting a bit more out of the stage show but really went to hear the music so was ok with the show that was presented. I also thought the band would sound a little bit more like Freddie but I guess that was expecting too much. The songs were well played and covered off the hits. Enjoyed the show and would recommend but would not go to see it again.
Let's face it, there was only one Freddie Mercury and his stage presence, flambouyance and talent can not and should not attempt to be duplicated. I have been to various productions where the acts attempt to capture the essence of the original performance, and even though in most cases they are as faithful to the original as can be expected they lose credibility when you are familiar with the original. It's like watching a movie based on a book, it's designed to be entertaining but in the long run, unless it's exceptional, it's just a copy designed to entertain those unfamiliar with the original. All that being said the performance was entertaining, well played and reproduced but at times strained the performer / original boundary. I would have been equally if not more entertained just listening to the group perform, they were excellent in that respect giving all credit due, but trying to copy the personalities and essence of the original performers, especially in the case of a group as well known as Queen, does not do them justice. I could use the plethora of Elvis impersonators as a perfect example, those performers who sing his well known songs as themselves and do them well are far more appreciated and recognised than the made up lounge singers that try to pass themselves off as the "king". Bottom line, for those unfamiliar with Queen as a group it's a great introduction but give the archived footage of the original a look see for the real deal. For those who "know" and love Freddie and the group it's a great trip down memory lane taken with a grain of salt. PS: This city is sadly lacking a quality facility for anything other than classical music type performances or stage plays. We NEED a facility that does rock, country, pop or any of the other strong musical styles justice, when the music is loud it overpowers with distortion and in the case of the older "classic" performers it's a shame to ruin what may be the only chance to see these people live.
After waiting patiently for the "Magic" night...finally they appeared on stage! It was unbelievable. It was like Freddie reappeared for a final performance. The music, lights and performance was like watching the "Real" thing. The first song "It's a Kinda Magic" was perfectly co-ordinated to a video of the real Queen performing the song live in concert and was displayed on 2 large screens behind the band. Having been lucky enough to see Queen live in Vancouver many years ago, I was NOT disappointed. In fact I was so impressed with how well Craig Pesco performed as Freddie Mercury that at several moments, I almost beleived it was really him. A must see for everyone who loves Queen. I will definately be going back when they come to town again!
Over the past few years I've attended 3 Queen concerts and I have never been disappointed. The audiences consisted of a wide age range with grandparents now bringing their grandchildren along to experience the music of Queen. Amazingly, at the last concert I attended it was like "deja vu" with the new generation standing and singing along . It brought back memories of the seventies.
Queen is my husbands favorite band of all time. Since Freddie Mercury is no longer with us, and the rest of the original Queen group tours sparsely, this event was our chance to experience a little of the 'magic' that once was. I surprised my husband with the show for our first year anniversary....he was totally in his element and we both enjoyed the show very much. Afterward, we were able to meet the band and my husband had the opportunity to meet and take photos with Queen's original publicist and Freddie Mercury's closest friend. That meant more to him than anything!!! A great performance and wonderful evening out!!!
Went to see theses guys a few months ago thought they were great Lead singer had all the moves of Freddy he was great and the rest of the band were brill too really enjoyed it. The venue was alright a bit clean for me as I couldn't even bring a drink nut overall a great nite was had by both of us def go see them again and have a few drinks before the show LOL.
They did pretty good job. My hubby and I both enjoyed it. Just really hard to compare to Freddie as he was so brilliant. It was a fun night out and the ticket price was reasonable.
