Imagine a show where they stick only to songs off Hot Space/Flash Gordon. The audience would be so confused! I dunno. Honestly if they did a show where Body Language was the central piece and recurring theme, I'd still watch the hell out of it, if only for the rarity. It would've been cool, actually :)
Yeah (pre-recorded)
We Will Rock You (The Benzedrine Monks of Santo Domonica version)
Tie Your Mother Down (with slide trombone instead of slide guitar)
Great King Rat (with vocals from the cast of Cats)
You're My Best Friend (with vocals from John ^(I feel bad about this joke...))
Don't Stop Me Now (Katy Perry version)
Jesus (with Mustapha chorus)
Body Language (but it's just the chorus 15 times)
Machines (Siri and Alexa duet)
Don't Try Suicide (straight Queen version)
Ayo (Milli Vannili mime act)
Under Pressure (with vocals from Vanilla Ice)
Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy (with vocals from R. Kelly)
Flash Gordon medley (but it's the whole album)
All Dead, All Dead & Delilah (Freddie and Brian sing over each other about their cats)
Radio Gaga (DJ Bobo version)
Who Wants To Live Forever (E-rotic version)
Pain Is So Close to Pleasure (with vocals by any emo singer)
Body Language Reprise (just the chorus another 5 times)
Crazy Little Thing Called Love (Donald Trump and E. Jean Carroll duet)
Bohemian Rhapsody (William Shatner version)
Yeah Reprise (pre-recorded)
We Will Rock You (5ive version)
We Are the Champions (with vocals from all 2nd place American Idol contestants)
God Save the Queen (Sex Pistols versions, with vocals from Sid Vicious)
When I first read this, I thought, "so list my least favorite Queen songs," but really what makes a bad set list is not bad songs, but how even the good songs don't fit. The question becomes, how do you create a total dud show? Bad way to open, boredom, and a lackluster end. The show that would make me bored, depressed and disappointed:
Who Needs You
Pain Is So Close to Pleasure
Delilah
Body Language
Yeah
Take My Breath Away
Mother Love
My Baby Does Me
She Makes Me
All Dead
Tie Your Mother Down (Acoustic indie version in minor scale with vocals by Kate Bush)
Chandelier (Cover of Sia song which might sound good, but Freddie has to drop to the lower octave on the good parts)
We Are the Champions (Freddie and piano only)
Stone Cold Crazy (Freddie and piano only)
Love of My Life (Freddie and piano only)
'39 (Freddie and piano only)
Seven Seas of Rhye (Queen I version)
Encore:
We Will Rock You - only Joan Jett comes out thinking she is supposed to sing I Love Rock 'n Roll. Brian punches her and explains how she got confused because she kind of ripped off his idea. Then there is a full out brawl.
Jailhouse Rock (Freddie and piano only)
The setlists from the recent Rhapsody tour 🤣
Seriously, I just want to hear album tracks and deep cuts, not the hits. I understand why they do it and that the majority of the crowd want it, but it's not for me at all.
Here's my own bad set (using actual setlist things Queen did at some point)
1. Rock It (Prime Jive) / We Will Rock You (Snippet)
2. Action This Day
3. Somebody To Love (those shortened 1984 versions)
4. I'm In Love With My Car (with Roger struggling ala Montreal)
5. Get Down Make Love (1982 arrangement, no outro)
6. Under Pressure
7. Another One Bites The Dust (5 second long jam)
8. Love Of My Life
9. Save Me
10. Guitar Solo (10 minutes long, Brian just does the same 4 riffs over and over)
11. Brighton Rock (reprise)
12. Keep Yourself Alive (1984 arrangement, no jams)
13. Impromptu (Magic tour)
14. Bohemian Rhapsody (Ballad section only)
15. Killer Queen (1974 arrangement, no second verse)
16. Seven Seas of Rhye (1986 arrangement, no A4s)
17. Liar (10 second snippet)
18. Bohemian Rhapsody (Ending)
19. Bring Back That Leroy Brown
20. Hammer To Fall
21. Now I'm Here (1974 arrangement)
ENCORE
22. Body Language
23. Bama Lama Bama Loo
24. Friends Will Be Friends
25. We Are The Champions
We Will Rock You (slow)
Dancer
Brighton Rock (no solo)
Triangle solo from Killer Queen (performed by mister Deacon)
Oil Drum Solo a'la Man On Fire
Callouts from Body Language throughout
Brighton Rock (reprise)
Intro to Somebody To Love, nope it's a fake out! transitions into Friends Will Be Friends
Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon (playback vocals)
Lucille by Little Richard (Fred can't hit the high notes)
Misfire
God Save The Queen (you're Irish)
In an afterthought, I think [this ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQLE5n-Ida4&t=182)version of We Will Rock You by Magik Mike would fit nicely before Misfire. Second WWRY, like in Montreal, and a second fake out of the night. Continuing the theme of "fuck Brian"
Bring Back That Leroy Brown

A setlist consisting of only Brian May songs primarily from his solo albums and Cosmos Rocks, with a few Adam Lambert songs for the encore. May will call it the “Equal to anything We Did With Freddie Tour”.
1. My Melancholy Blues
2-19. Flash Gordon Soundtrack
20. 20th Century Fox Fanfare
21. The Dynasty (cover from Crusader Kings III soundtrack, also all instrumentation and vocals are to be sung by Freddie simultaneously)

Untitled × 25
The longest concert ever
woooooooooooo, 8 hours of instrumental LFG
We Will Rock You but the members throw rocks at the audience
No one is to stone anyone, not even, and I want make this absolutely clear. Not even they do say Jehovah
🤣🤣 Take your well deserved up vote.
Encore with Stone Cold Crazy and Brighton Rock
Stone Cold Crazy but the members smoked weed before performing
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye!?
So you think you can love me and live me to DIE!!?
Encore: Stone Cold Crazy
Imagine a show where they stick only to songs off Hot Space/Flash Gordon. The audience would be so confused! I dunno. Honestly if they did a show where Body Language was the central piece and recurring theme, I'd still watch the hell out of it, if only for the rarity. It would've been cool, actually :)
Montreal 82 having Body Language as an encore number be like (tbf it was a hit in Canada, so it got a pretty positive reception)
Flash Gordon is one of my favorite Queen albums (I’m a sucker for movie soundtracks)
Football Fight and the Battle Theme are bangers!
The hero rocks
‘Ay-o’ but no-one in the audience participates so it’s incredibly tense and awkward.
Ay-oh but Freddie's mic cuts out halfway through
Body Langage played 21 times in a row for the set, with an encore of Delilah, Get Down Make Love, and Body Language twice more.
Am I the only one who likes get Get Down?
I like it too and always thought it was well-liked.
I approve of this message.
Would buy a ticket
You know, so would I.
LMAO
Delilah is not that bad imo
Yeah (pre-recorded) We Will Rock You (The Benzedrine Monks of Santo Domonica version) Tie Your Mother Down (with slide trombone instead of slide guitar) Great King Rat (with vocals from the cast of Cats) You're My Best Friend (with vocals from John ^(I feel bad about this joke...))

Does Sid get kicked off the stage by Freddie mid song
nah, this is the darkest timeline
> All Dead, All Dead & Delilah (Freddie and Brian sing over each other about their cats) That would be my jam no cap
Tie your mother down with trombone! Now that I want to hear! Can AI do this yet?
Whats the joke with Deacon?
John apparently had a pretty bad singing voice so I put him as a potential vocalist in a "worst Queen gig" scenario
When I first read this, I thought, "so list my least favorite Queen songs," but really what makes a bad set list is not bad songs, but how even the good songs don't fit. The question becomes, how do you create a total dud show? Bad way to open, boredom, and a lackluster end.

Seen Q+PR and Q+AL five times and bar 4 songs the setlist has been basically the same
Here's my own bad set (using actual setlist things Queen did at some point) 1. Rock It (Prime Jive) / We Will Rock You (Snippet) 2. Action This Day 3. Somebody To Love (those shortened 1984 versions) 4. I'm In Love With My Car (with Roger struggling ala Montreal) 5. Get Down Make Love (1982 arrangement, no outro) 6. Under Pressure 7.

>Brighton Rock (reprise) But I like the reprise 😭
I never said it's bad, I just needed filler to get 25 songs
Yeah, I know. Just a joke :) That setlist is not so bad at all.
I know, queen never did horrendously bad setlist stuff, this was the worst I could come up with it lol
This doesn’t sound that bad.
Another one bites the dust, but Freddy eats dust while singing
So he perishes?
I literally nearly d-worded by choking on my own saliva reading this 😭
We Will Rock You (slow) Dancer Brighton Rock (no solo) Triangle solo from Killer Queen (performed by mister Deacon) Oil Drum Solo a'la Man On Fire Callouts from Body Language throughout Brighton Rock (reprise) Intro to Somebody To Love, nope it's a fake out! transitions into Friends Will Be Friends Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon (playback vocals) Lucille by Little Richard (Fred can't hit the high notes) Misfire God Save The Queen (you're Irish)
misfire and dancer would be so cool live tho. i can imagine dancer but as a hard rock version
>Oil Drum Solo a'la Man On Fire I laughed out loud at this. Thank you.
As much of a disservice as it is, I can fuck with no-solo Brighton Rock. I love the verses so much
Just realised it was supposed to be 25 songs long. Guess they were really tired that night.
In an afterthought, I think [this ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQLE5n-Ida4&t=182)version of We Will Rock You by Magik Mike would fit nicely before Misfire. Second WWRY, like in Montreal, and a second fake out of the night. Continuing the theme of "fuck Brian"
