Queen: Rock the World (2017). 59m

“Iu0026#39;m generally not a fan of the rock documentary genre — watching how the sausage gets made doesnu0026#39;t appeal to me. nBut Queen come across as, I guess the phrase is true professionals. They absolutely care about the music in every detail, they are very self aware of what they are and what theyu0026#39;re doing, and they have a remarkably low sense of entitlement. Iu0026#39;m not much interested in u0026quot;musicians Iu0026#39;d like to party withu0026quot;, but Queen feels like u0026quot;musicians I could have a really interesting conversation withu0026quot;. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd, of course, lurking behind it all, there is mortality and the death of Freddie Mercury (at only 45 remember). The coda, the few minutes of 2017 tour with Adam Lambert, I gotta say they were touching in a way I didnu0026#39;t expect; the joy (once again no sense of entitlement…) at being able to perform again, and the respect paid to Adam Lambert as a great new front man, while not insisting on comparing him to Freddie. Theyu0026#39;re a class act all round!”
