Excellent, high-energy Queen cover band. This was a 2-for-1 with a true, throwback rock concert plus the enthralling theatrical performance of the diva frontman.
Because the audience was called out early to stand up, wake up and show some life, I think this event would have been better received by a Saturday night or Friday night audience. It was mentally challenging for some of us to switch instantly from comfortably seated Sunday-night spectators into raving, screaming, butt shakers with the prospect of having to get up for work Monday morning. But, hey, that's just my sober old age talking.
The musicians all had impressive skillz, and the singer poured his svelte body and soul into the dynamic prancing and voguing of the real Freddie at his most irreverent and frenetic. I think the sound engineers should have given the singer's mic more boost though, because there were times when the singer's voice was drowned out by the wall of sound from the rest of the band, and he does have a good voice.

Favorite moment: The best moment was when Freddie re-entered the stage, running, with his bare torso wrapped by a cape of the New Hampshire state flag. @
