19th September 2015
QueenOnline on Tour: Notes From The Road South America Part 5


It's been a few days, so I guess I owe you a long one, so go grab a caipirinha, this might be a bit of a ramble…

Sao Paulo, Show Day. The first show of the tour then, having been semi -permanent residents at the Ibirapuera Arena for the past several days it was nice to actually get going and use this space for what it

On arrival at the arena, despite our early start we had clearly be beaten to it by at least 20 fans already sat down and queuing outside the general admission gate…over 12 HOURS BEFORE show time.

During the afternoon I temporarily became the most popular man in the building, when I was tasked with handing out the 'per diems' to crew members, anyone essentially giving out pocket money to a 30 man strong beer drinking machine is always going to be greeted with the utmost respect and affection.

My day also included sorting the evening's guest list, as part of the most complicated ticket and seat distribution equation ever, that even had the venue promoter stumped - the fun of this frustrating chore indirectly then led another little job; remembering to keep back an unused ticket for each show we do for the Queen archive and it's guardian Greg Brooks.

At dinner, I had the pleasure of catching up with Queen's long standing PR man Phil Symes. He is now based out of this region and I had not seen in him person since the Stormtroopers In Stilettos exhibition in 2011. Phil has a wonderful calming influence and always sees things from a different angle; I guess this comes from dealing with the press all this years.

Following the sound check, a set list change was mooted, and was duly confirmed at around 8pm when Spike came in to confirm that Roger was singing ‘These Are The Days Of Our Lives’ and ‘Save Me’ had moved up a spot - reprinting and redistribution was therefore required. I then topped up the water and towel supplies for the backline guys, who will be looking after the band from the side of the stage during the show.

At 9.43pm I was suddenly thrust into the world of Wardrobe when Neil asked if he should go with a black cap or a grey one, I wished Rufus all the best in the corridor and then took a quick walk around the top flight of the arena to take in the atmosphere. With the Made In Heaven Track 13 drone intro tape well underway, I perched myself for the start of the show on stage left, behind Spike, and started to look around cheerfully at the expectant faces in the crowd. Just then, I was called over the radio to urgently acquire some honey for Neil from catering - this was, I kid you not, 4 minutes before show time. How rude, I was just getting settled for the gig!

I made it back to my position just in time to see the hugs and high fives amongst the back line guys, Pete and I exchanged the devil horns and a childishly flick of the tongue for good luck.

Lights down...and sheer thunder descended on top of me, it was hair raising; it still is as I type this a few days later. If noise carried weight, I was feeling it. Brazil you are LOUD and I am thanking you for it.

The band cracked into a revved up version of ‘One Vision’ and in a blur it was over - the whole song was an assault on the senses. Then came ‘Stone Cold Crazy’; the place was literally shaking with the power of the crowd and band united as one, and the smiles, yes, the smiles on the these Brazilian faces was so heartwarming, THIS was Rock n' Soul. And so it went on; Adam working the crowd like the consumet front man he has now become, the chant of "Brian May! Brian May!" and the B-stage introduction of Roger that nearly took the roof off. Where were these extra levels of energy coming from? I am not going to apologise for getting carried away, I have not experienced such a gig of this intensity.

As the gig went on I continued to post a picture for each song on in the set list. I know some of the images that go up on Facebook, twitter and instagram are not award winning, but what I try to do it take pictures from my view, and seeing as I do have a different one from many out front, I think should try and let you in. One of my favourite places to grab photos is in the truck where our video director Steve Price is calling shots to his cameramen; it is his choices that give you what you see out front on the screen. It's great to watch and hear some of the funny things he comes out with to get the angles he wants.

Highlights for me included the debut of Adam's ‘Ghost Town', that has been given a Queen makeover and makes for a decidedly wicked 'Disco Metal' anthem; the online buzz surrounding the surprise set list inclusion has been immense. 'Fat Bottomed Girls' is always a great groover for me, and the way Brian now directs his on-guitar camera around the band just adds to the fun. 'Under Pressure' never fails. Of course, it will come as no surprise to report that 'Love Of My Life' was the standout moment of the show, if not as a song, but as an emotional marker for Queen and Brazil's love affair.

"You made this song what it is...this is your song Brazil." You can just imagine the reaction. The next four minutes or so was pure hair raising romance. And then Freddie popped up the screen. I can confirm at least 3 teary eyed fans from where I was watching near the barrier.

Before long, Neil was saluting me from the stage during 'We Are The Champions' and it was done. It really is quite amazing how fast the show can fly by. It was all rather draining, but is a great way.

Back to business and so to load out. It was 12:30am and the first breakdown of the tour in a very tight venue, so time was taken in and it was a late or early finish for many. The last return to our hotel I heard was 5.40am, I was one of the lucky ones, I got to bed just after 4.00am. Back to the load in and for me it's easy compared to the 'proper crew'; grab the signage, break down the wi-fi, tidy the office, pack and load the Production Office flight cases, ordering beer and food in and ripping down any sign of our existence in the venue i.e. set lists, stage times, wi-fi passwords etc. This can take a little time depending on the size of the venue, but is nothing compared the guys out front who were literally dripping with sweat as they passed our door - Road Warriors.

Post show and the band stayed back for a change of clothes, chatted over some dinner and discussed how the show went. Brian was the last to leave as he was overseeing his selfie stick video upload. On his exit he made a point of shaking hands with all those he came across as he headed to his car, I got a nice little smile as he went on his way.

As mentioned above, it was a long night for most, but we still had a plane to catch at 10am that morning, which meant a 7am lobby call and convoy of crew buses to the airport. We all sat together on the plane, but it was the quietist I have ever heard this lot! It was a short flight, but we all took maximum advantage and grabbed a bit of shuteye.

I was pretty excited about coming to Rio, hell, its Rio baby! I've seen the Duran Duran video. I was not disappointed either, the view coming in on the plane was spectacular. I was soon in a bus taking the luggage to the hotel as some of there crew headed straight to the Rock in Rio site. Stupid this to say, but looking out of the window…it felt like Rio should; slightly chaotic, buzzy, yellow and greens, shouting, low hanging tropical trees, helicopters flying overhead, big blue skies and huge birds swooping around in the distance. It all then clicked perfectly; a great view of Sugar Loaf mountain, there was Christ The Redeemer looking over us, signs to Ipenema and the mecca of Brazilian football the Marana Stadium and last but not least, suddenly there it was...Cococabaña Beach complete with spectacularly worn swimwear of all shapes, sizes and tightness included, all very proudly displayed too.

Several of the crew has worked Rock In Rio before with Rhianna, so I pestered them a bit on what it was like, but not too much, as I wanted to soak it in myself on gig day. We set up in the port cabins provided that afternoon and as the crew grabbled with the challenge of working our rig into the main stage. The band arrived at about 8pm and Roger led them through sound check at about 9pm with a noise curfew bringing it to a close an hour later.

So here we are ‘Rock In Rio 2015 Day’ was here. I woke up at 10am and covered off some outstanding work, including posting news on the reaction to 'Ghost Town', I spoke to the wife, ordered room service and then made my way down to the pool and beach area. I popped down to the sandy shores of Leblon beach, which was just below our hotel, and succeed it being battered senseless by the waves and exfoliated by the sand. It was one way to warm up for a gig, I guess

It's 11.08 pm and here I am backstage at Rock In Rio finishing off these notes, 30 years on since Freddie, John, Brian and Roger were here. The porta cabin office is shaking to the bass throb of One Republic and the air conditioning is chilling us all to the bone. I have passed out all the set lists - and yes, it is different to Sao Paulo - and I now have to pop down to grab some towels and water for show time. We are nearly ready for you Rio and I know for sure that you guys are ready for us, because the huge, thick wall of sound you are creating is quite astonishing, heavens knows what is going to go off when we hit the stage.

I think this might be quite a night.

Thanks for having us Rio; the pleasure will be all ours. Over to you Brian, Roger and Adam…

Note: Sorry, I got side tracked uploading this, there are 100,000 people going crazy for Queen + Adam Lambert and felt it was my duty to make it 100,001. It’s pretty special out there Rio, it’s an honour to be your guest…

I am back off to the side of stage…see ya!
