Questa domenica i Queen e Adam Lambert hanno partecipato al Fire Fight Australia di Sydney, il festival benefico i cui proventi saranno stati destinati a tutte le vittime degli incedi che hanno colpito il continente australiano.
Quando, alcune settimane fa, Brian May aveva iniziato a parlare del progetto l’aveva definito come “una sorta di Live Aid”. Il paragone del chitarrista non era casuale: ieri i Queen hanno eseguito la stessa scaletta portata sul palco del Wembley Stadium di Londra il 13 luglio 1985.
Ecco la scaletta del concerto dei Queen per Fire Fight Australia:
“Bohemian Rhapsody”
“Radio Ga Ga”
“Hammer to Fall”
“Crazy Little Thing Called Love”
“We Will Rock You”
“We Are the Champions”
