Queen returned to Philadelphia with The Rhapsody Tour this week, and it was a rock show fit for royalty. The brilliant tag-team of guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor honored the past, present and future with a multi-dimensional experience inside of the Wells Fargo Center. Adam Lambert, who rose to fame on American Idol and has been singing with the band since 2011, channeled the energy of Freddie Mercury with flair and finesse. Lambert is a vocal powerhouse, and he delivered the band's believed hits with an attitude that honored Mercury's legend rather than overtaking it.

The two-hour set was split into six acts total. The entire setlist is below, along with concert shots thanks to Bill Raymond at Digital Noise Mag.
