THE REVIEW

Based on the story that we all know by now, we can’t help but review this entirely live Queen album with Paul Rodgers. Let’s start with the most incredible fact: many disheartened fans have given up hope over the past twenty years of seeing Queen live on stage again, or at least in concert. Many have dreamt of a memorable moment of this kind "like me." They didn’t think they’d see them back in action "perhaps a bit mischievously" ready to play as in the glory days. This brings to mind the Wembley concert in 1986, nineteen years ago. Since then, many new curious admirers have discovered Queen, and it took this effort from Mr. Brian Harold May and Roger Meddows Taylor to return and honor themselves once again.

I invite you to enjoy this exceptional album with pure Rock'n'Roll fun, featuring real dinosaurs, an explosive mix from the Hard Rock of "Tie Your Mother Down" to a rock classic that taught us to the roots, namely "All Right Now" by Mr. Paul Rodgers. It truly lacks nothing.

01   Reaching Out (01:08)

I've been too long on my own
Everybody has a private world
Where they can be alone

Are you calling me?
Are you trying to get through?
Are you reaching out for me
Like I'm reaching out for you?

One way conversations
Going on inside my head
Everybody has a secret world
Where too much is unsaid

Are you calling me?
Are you trying to get through?
Are you reaching out for me
Like I'm reaching out for you?

Give me your hand
One touch is all that it takes
Ain't it funny how just one touch
Can make up for all of our mistakes

Lately, I've been hard to reach
I've been too long on my own
Everybody has a private world
Where they can be alone

Are you calling me?
Are you trying to get through?
Are you reaching out for me
Like I'm reaching out for you?
