Back To Humans Tee available at Queen + Adam Lambert Rhapsody Official Tour Store: rhapsodytoursh...
A thrilling collision of sound and vision dubbed “a masterclass” by USA Today, the Queen and Adam Lambert ‘Rhapsody' show opens with the juddering industrial beat and vocal harmonies of Machines (or Back To Humans) - a new reworking of the cult favourite track that opened the second side of The Works album in 1984.
While immersive staging pulls the audience into a dystopian world of spinning cogs and hissing pistons, a battalion of CGI robots march across the giant video screens to the sound of “Machines” and look down on the crowd with unforgiving brimstone eyes - only to be vanquished with the assistance of a virtual Freddie vocal, the band then launching into a techo-infused but highly human Radio Ga Ga, which kicks off a two-hours-plus roller coaster of the band’s legacy catalogue.
In the opening of the new ‘Rhapsody' production, the audience hears Freddie Mercury and Brian May’s duetting lead vocals from behind, raising the alarm (originally in 1984!) that The Machines are about to take over. Set against this, the robotic voices are provided by Roger Taylor’s vocoded vocals advocating the Machines’ point of view. The theme of this conflict bursts back in at various points later in the set.
Reintroduced to the Queen setlist for the band’s current US tour, the feverish live reaction to Machines (Or Back To Humans) has now prompted the band to release the original track as a digital single becoming available November 10.
Originally written by Brian and Roger almost 40 years ago and today holding a core position in the band’s current spectacular live production, “Machines” is undisputedly now even more of its time than ever.
