The band’s original guitarist carried the whole 130-minute concert, with singer Lambert knowing when to cede the spotlight.

Whatever percentage Sir Brian May is being paid on the current Queen + Adam Lambert tour, the amount should be doubled. Monday at the first of a two-night stand at a sold-out United Center, the band’s original guitarist carried the 130-minute concert, commanding the stage with a combination of virtuosic musicianship and nonchalant presence at odds with the surrounding spectacle. To his credit, lead singer Lambert understood May’s significance in the moment.

Darren Smith, left, dressed as Freddie Mercury, cheers during the first night of two performances by Queen and Adam Lambert at the United Center on Oct. 30, 2023. Pyrotechnic explosions, confetti cannons, pulsing strobes, ceiling-scraping lasers, mobile screens, film-studio lights, dry-ice fog, falling leaves, a disco ball, a wraparound projection curtain — no device was too extravagant. And it all paled in comparison to Lambert’s ostentatious outfits.
