Winter Concert Series - Queen on the Bay

Caught the last of the Winter Concert Series at the Darling Harbour Aquashell. I missed Leonard Bernstein & George Gershwin on July 2 and Opera on the Bay on July 9. It's a good thing I was in the city for Queen on the Bay.

The tribute concert is based on the 1986 Queen world tour Queen - It's a Kinda Magic. "Freddie Mercury" opened the show with One Vision. He tried to pump up the crowd, but I figured everybody was too cold to care. The audience started to warm up after a few more numbers. By the time Freddie changed to his red pants and white shirt, people were clapping and singing along to Radio Ga-Ga, We Are the Champions, and the finale We Are the Champions (complete with fireworks). The encore was Bohemian Rhapsody if I remember correctly.
