Queen + Paul Rodgers Concertography

The figure for the Strat Pack concert only refers to 'All Right Now'. The figures for the 2005/6 tours exclude those played from tape at the start and end of the concert; also, 'Reaching Out' is included as a cover version; although Paul sang lead vocals on the track, it was credited to 'Rock Therapy', and wasn't written by him, so technically would be a cover version. Brian's collaboration with Def Leppard on 20th Century Boy at the 2006 VH1 Rock Honours is ignored from the stats.

The Band: (for '46664' onwards)
Paul Rodgers (lead vocals, acoustic guitar)
Brian May (electric guitar, acoustic guitar, lead/backing vocals)
Roger Taylor (drums, bongos/timpani, lead/backing vocals)
Jamie Moses (electric guitar, acoustic guitar, backing vocals)
Danny Miranda (bass, backing vocals)
Spike Edney (keyboards, backing vocals)

Abbreviations for vocalists: PR: Paul Rodgers, BM: Brian May, RT: Roger Taylor, FM: Freddie Mercury (vocals from Wembley 1986)

This was the second 46664 concert and was broadcast live throughout Africa. The set-list included the same tracks as the tour (with the addition of 'Too Much Love Will Kill You'), but was much reduced and adjusted to appeal to a wider audience. Highlights of the concert were also broadcast over the internet.

The above setlist was the most common, but at some concerts 'Can't Get Enough' was performed after 'Tie Your Mother Down'. 'Feel Like Makin' Love' was performed at many concerts, but the set position varied. Other common tracks included 'Track 13' (as the opening backing tape instead of 'It's A Beautiful Day'), 'Little Bit Of Love' (PR), 'Seagull' (PR), 'Wishing Well' (PR), 'Under Pressure' (RT) and 'Another One Bites The Dust (PR).

During the tour Paul Rodgers suffered from a throat infection so at a number of concerts a few tracks were not played (most commonly 'Feel Like Makin' Love' and 'The Show Must Go On') whilst some had alternative vocalists (eg 'These Are The Days Of Our Lives', 'Hammer To Fall' and 'I Want It All').
