First, Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper delivered a performance for the ages (in terms of these shows) and if you still believe in movie stars and rock and roll, as I do, it’s worth watching. Second, Queen and Adam Lambert opened the show with a blistering performance of “We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwbCfVEB5EM&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=1d56d343a3-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_02_25_02_31&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-1d56d343a3-145367789) .” Queen’s underrated guitarist Brian May looks and sounds fantastic. Great smile.
