That was fun!

Enjoyed his erroneous drum crash during 'Who Wants To Live Forever', and then his 'got that one right' comment on the second one

Brian May becomes Sir Brian Harold May as he receives Knighthood in 2023 Honours List! 

“I'm happy and grateful to receive this honour. I will regard the knighthood not so much as a reward, but more as a charge – a commission - for me to continue to fight for justice - to be a voice for those who have no voice.  I will endeavour to be worthy - to be that Knight in Shining Armour.” - Sir Brian May

Just wanted to give you a very belated ‘thank you’ for posting this 

Never imagined that my wife and I could honestly say that we met a future Knight decades earlier

Any thoughts by anyone on any of the Queen tributes going around?  A guy name Gary Mullen is playing a local theater, and while seeing Fred is best, seeing someone pay decent tribute would be good, though for me, a bad tribute would not be worth it.  If that makes sense.

Just for the lighting during the BoRhap operatic part....     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul3M5wwrgog

a full show

We had a ball prepandemic seeing them at the same concert hall as DT for the I&W anniversary tour, and there were more people who saw The Works.  No idea how his voice is four years later.

They're playing in Baltimore....but my days of going downtown at night are in the past

I've seen 4 different tribute acts.
1. Mullen & the Works 2. Almost Queen 3. Queen Extravaganza 4. Classic Rock perform NATO.

They were all decent and fun, but nothing I'd ever remotely think about seeing again! What I'm dying to see  is a '70's Queen tribute band (glam, pre-mustache Freddie) playing ROCK ....not their pop stuff!

STILL wishing MP, Cherone, Nuno & Badger would do this!

Yeah, I think Extreme completely stole the show at the Freddie Tribute Concert. When everyone else, including both Metallica and G'N'Rs, was playing their biggest hits; Extreme went the distance and put together a medley featuring some of Queen's classics in their own style.

By the way, by MP did you mean Mike Portnoy? I don't think he ever jammed with Gary, Nuno and Pat... at least not that I know of.

[Kwyjibo]

Didn't MP play with Cherone on that Who tribute he did several years ago?

Other than that I don't think he's played with any Extreme members.

I just saw Extreme open for Aerosmith at Fenway, and they killed it.  I love MP, but Kevin Figueroa (is that his name?) has been doing a great job and fits in well.  I don't know if that would translate to "Queen"; the original Extreme with Paul Geary were huge fans of Queen (Nuno was up front about III being their "Queen" record); I don't know if Kevin shares that.

I really miss the Portnoy/Gilbert tributes; I'd love to see "Dragon Attack" or "One Vision", whatever Mike calls it, with him, Paul, anyone but Billy Sheehan on bass (I love Billy, but he's not John Deacon-eque), and maybe Gary on vocals (though I personally would love to see Tom Chaplin from Keane, though I can't imagine he's in Mike's circle).  Maybe Eric Gillette.  NOT Jeff Soto.
