Foster The People Fairfax Concert reviews
Queen with Adam Lambert
"The legends Brian and Roger sounded great! The vocals were perfect, he wasn't too theatrical or over the top. I was blown away. Foster The People, the incredible, perfectly sung all the hits. I loved the set, the lasers were so cool. It was a love fest with the audience, thoroughly entertained for the two hours. Tasteful and sweet, homage to Freddie. I had a tear in my eye, one of the best concerts ever. Wow! What a show! You forget that Freddie wasn't the only singer in the band!"
