Tribute/Cover Bands

[tele7]

<p>Tonight I got comp tickets to see a tribute band to <em>Queen </em>called <em>Almost Queen.&nbsp; </em>Queen fan from day one, by the way.&nbsp; I was expecting the <em>Another on bites the dust </em>etc. kind of set-list.&nbsp; Wrong!&nbsp; They were great!&nbsp; They played songs from <em>Queen 2 </em>as well as many older obscure great Queen songs, and did them justice.&nbsp; Freddie was balls on fabulous!&nbsp; About half way into the show they had a 20 piece chorus come up and do <em>Flash,</em> it was amazing!&nbsp; Overall a great show.&nbsp; Are there any other cover/tribute bands worthy of mention?&nbsp;<strike>Garden </strike>State or&nbsp;Cover Band State?&nbsp;</p>

<p>HA! This is so strange.&nbsp; </p><p>I saw a Queen tribute band once and they were quite good.&nbsp; I think they were called IT'S A KIND OF MAGIC or something like that.&nbsp; They were the only GOOD tribute band that I've ever seen.&nbsp; </p><p>A few weeks ago, my friend back on Long Island saw ALMOST QUEEN (thinking they were the same band I saw) and said that THEY were the best tribute band that he'd ever seen.&nbsp; </p><p>I guess the kind of musician that wants to be in a Queen tribute band is the kind of musician that really wants to get it right.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>NOTE:</p><p>I used to be in a band with Tom &quot;Brian May&quot; Cavanaugh from ALMOST QUEEN many many years ago and, I was friendly with Danny (Queens new bass player) back in the day as well.&nbsp; It seems Queen and cover cats and Long Island kinda go together.</p>
