But I’ve never seen a full-on Queen tribute show. Sure, I’ve heard assorted bands perform Queen covers over the years, and I ever saw Brian May and Roger Taylor doing a show with vocalist Paul Rodgers back in 2006. Despite my love of classic rock music, particularly that of Queen, I’ve never seen any of these acts before in concert. Perhaps equally unsurprisingly, Queen tribute bands have become a reality over the years. Is there a single human being in the civilized world who doesn’t know who Freddie Mercury is? Who hasn’t heard “Bohemian Rhapsody” and tried to sing along? Who can’t name a single song by the band? The influence Queen has had on the world of not only rock and roll, but music and popular culture on a broader scale, is undeniable. Bohemian Queen, a group called “The World’s Most Passionate Queen Tribute,” will be holding a three-night residency at the South Point Hotel/Casino here in Las Vegas on Friday July 15, Saturday July 16, and Sunday July 17.
