Let's be very clear here: The last Queen show was performed 28 years ago at Knebworth House in England. It was the last show because that was the last time band leader, vocalist and rock icon Freddie Mercury shared a stage with bandmates Roger Taylor and Brian May. Since then Taylor and May have occasionally played Queen's music live with replacement singers who range from Elton John and Paul Rodgers to, well, Wyclef Jean. Musicians have the right to play their music however they wish, so the teaming of Queen with American Idol standout Adam Lambert has been met with little skepticism. Lambert is an exciting artist, May and Taylor are legends and people love Queen's songs. So when the nostalgia tour rolls through the AAC tonight, enjoy yourself. It's the closest you can get to the real thing. Jaime-Paul Falcon
