As the first notes ring out, a dazzling flash of light occurs. This is the moment chosen by the singer from Queens to make his entrance. Wearing tight white pants, a matching jacket, and a finely groomed mustache, the man is a sight to behold. The resemblance to Freddie Mercury is uncanny. For once, one might almost prefer the copy to the original. The show can finally begin.
The band’s leader, disregarding conventions, took the opportunity to get the audience on their feet after a few songs. Indeed, what could be sadder than a concert spent seated! The audience, made up of all ages and predominantly family-oriented, then vigorously sang along to the well-known Queen hits (without the “s”). A real success.
With strength and talent, the Queens performed hit after hit from one of the flagship bands of rock, once again proving that good music does not age. Pure sound, powerful drums, electrifying guitar riffs, all the ingredients were there for a successful evening. The singer’s truly infectious energy did the rest. Darting from one end of the stage to the other, he managed to impose his personal touch on the concert. A tough challenge when singing someone else’s songs, but he succeeded. Thus, the mischievous Brit proved that he was as adept with humor as he was with the microphone. Speaking in halting French, but whose charming accent made one forgive the inaccuracies, he did not hesitate to jokingly call out certain spectators. But with phlegm, as English tradition demands.
After two hours of intense effort, interrupted by an intermission, the evening culminated in an apogee with the anthem “We Will Rock You.” The five members of the band, exhausted from their performances, made sure to express their hope to return next year. An appointment is set for the fans.
