2012 WWRY London 10th Anniversary Show

Bohemian Rhapsody, The Show Must Go On

Brian and Roger appeared at this show to mark the 10th anniversary of the musical. Brian appeared as normal for the guitar solo of 'Bohemian Rhapsody', which apparently featured a hologram of Freddie. Roger's drumkit failed to appear in time so he only played for a minute on 'The Show Must Go On'. The show also featured a speech by Ben Elton, and appearances by Robert De Niro and Queen's manager Jim Beach.

2012 Queen + Adam Lambert Tour

Flash's Theme (tape), The Hero (instrumental ending), Seven Seas Of Rhye, Keep Yourself Alive, We Will Rock You (fast), Fat Bottomed Girls, Don't Stop Me Now, Under Pressure (Adam + Roger), I Want It All, Who Wants To Live Forever, A Kind Of Magic (Roger), These Are The Days Of Our Lives (Roger), Love Of My Life (Brian with some vocals from Freddie at Budapest, 1986), '39 (Brian), Dragon Attack / Bass Solo, Drum Solo (duet between Roger and Rufus), Last Horizon, Guitar Solo, I Want To Break Free, Another One Bites The Dust, Radio Ga Ga, Somebody To Love, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, The Show Must Go On, Bohemian Rhapsody (Freddie + Adam)
Encore: Tie Your Mother Down (Brian), We Will Rock You (slow), We Are The Champions, God Save The Queen (tape, London shows only)

The above setlist was the most common, although 'Somebody To Love' and 'The Show Must Go On' moved to different positions for a few shows. The two shows in Moscow and Kiev dropped 'Last Horizon', while the Moscow show added 'Life Is Real' before 'Love Of My Life', with guests Zemfira on vocals and Dmitry Shurov on piano, and the Kiev show featured Victor Romanchenko on vocals alongside Adam for 'We Will Rock You'. The three Hammersmith shows each featured Brian performing a different song on acoustic guitar before 'Love Of My Life', namely 'The Show Must Go On', 'Somebody To Love', and 'You're My Best Friend'. 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and the final verse of 'Love Of My Life' featured Freddie's vocals from Budapest, 1986, via videoscreen.

This setlist featured a number of surprises, most notably the 'Flash', 'Seven Seas Of Rhye', 'Keep Yourself Alive' and 'We Will Rock You' opening tracks, 'Don't Stop Me Now', 'Who Wants To Live Forever' and 'Somebody To Love', all of which had hardly been performed in 25 years. Queen and Adam Lambert were originally planned to perform at the Sonisphere Festival, which was subsequently cancelled, and as a result the Moscow show was moved from 30 June to 3 July. Alongside Brian and Roger, the band comprised Adam Lambert (lead vocals), Neil Fairclough (bass guitar and backing vocals), Spike Edney (keyboards and backing vocals) and Roger's son Rufus Taylor (percussion, and drums when Roger sang).

2012 London Olympics Closing Ceremony

Bohemian Rhapsody (taped, no new Queen involvement), Freddie Singalong (via videoscreens, from Wembley 1986), Guitar Solo, We Will Rock You (Jessie J on vocals)

This performance was at the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics, and was broadcast worldwide. 'Bohemian Rhapsody' was played from tape much earlier in the ceremony, and was a short excerpt only, with added effects. An edited version of Freddie's singalong from Wembley 1986 was shown on four giant videoscreens in the centre of the stadium, before a typical Brian solo, followed by 'We Will Rock You' with Jessie J on vocals, and Roger on drums and timpani. The full performance was released on the 'London 2012 Olympic Games' DVD and Blu-ray, while edited versions of each track were released on the 'A Symphony Of British Music' album and download. The album has a number of vocal overdubs, I am unsure whether the DVD has the same.
