How sad is it that I am on a beach in Aruba reading every review I can get my hands on. Wifi is my best friend here, lol, I spent my evening watching streamed videos of the concert and I have to say I'm not a fan of Vision, I bet they bring back Now I'm here. Or I hope they do as It has more impact for a show opener. And Adam needs to have that 'One, Two POW effect for these Queen fans. Nothing is as sweet as watching their incredulous looks as they realize Adam is not the "karaoke' singer that the Classic Queen comment sections would have them believe. I also think there will be a smattering of glamberts at every concert, we have our ways. hahah. Ok and now back to the beach!!!! By the way I love this site! On the beach watching Adam......very jealous!!! I agree...Vision does not have that instant impact, nor do the next few songs that follow. Popular but not roof blasting like SCC! come on Queen give that audience a kick under their seat...and get them off their duffs. Concert 2 ---was Roger just blowing smoke.... regarding changes??? ***my first choice change is Here I Am versus Vision. ***second choice ...well Adam sporting a Sporran, would be a crowd pleaser. ***options on second choice ...Adam and Sporran and fringes....with twirls ....hmmmm maybe, maybe not ...Adam and Sporran and fringes and lounge chair.... cough couch... NO!!!

I was just thinking about Leila and Eber. Do you think they look at Atop? How else will they get all the info. They must be so full of pride and emotion! Eber might. Not Leila. Eber was a PlanetFierce member for a while although he only posted 2 times. He never revealed his identity but I do not see any harm in confirming it now, years later. And a lot of members guessed it was him. It was. He is a very nice man. I know he does look at bit at what people post about Adam. We know that Adam sees all kinds of things -- and he does look at more than Twitter.

Although I like Now I'm Here better then Vision, Vision does showcase Brian, Roger and Adam. Now I'm Here was appropriate for North America but maybe not so much for EU because Adam is better known here. I did like Adam standing inside the Q and then the one two punches of him up on the side screens. And, I agree with Procession - great build-up but maybe only because for me it's recognizable.

Well, Eber lurked at TWoP and even answered a few questions back in the day so I wouldn't be surprised if he had an account here. How often he looks in is another thing- Twitter probably tells him more than enough Eber was a member of the original Planet Fierce. It took a while for some folks to find us here, after PF went POOF. I wouldn't be surprised if he was here, too.

Oh, Melliemom, you are so right! Some moms are the same way, lol. For example I went to see Queen this summer and I just left out the AL part. Back in 2009 when I mentioned him she wanted me to watch Susan Boyle. My son is just as bad but he is at least impressed with the astrophysicist Dr. Brian May and that he's into Minecraft. I bought an eye of horus necklace and don't ask me how he remembers but he knew that was an Adam symbol. He gives me grief about it. Heh heh heh. My kid is still at the age where almost everything that I do is awesome. Yeah, yeah. I know that time is very rapidly running out on that, but I'm desperately holding onto it while I can. As she's been raised both on Adam and Queen, she'll happily listen to any vid that I play and wants to know where the latest tour is going. She was actually in tears earlier this year when I said we weren't going to London in January. (I would have actually bought tickets if in spring or summertime as we're way overdue for visiting British relatives - some who haven't ever met her yet - and as they're older we're going to have to visit soon while they're in good enough health, so two birds with the proverbial stone). However, I did take her to our local U.S. QAL show and we had an awesome time. If she stands on the seats she's the same height as everyone else, and her Radio Gaga claps are well practiced. She gets taken to other concerts too, but we definitely had the most fun at QAL. I hope that she'll keep on loving Adam and Queen even when I suddenly turn embarrassing and idiotic.

What a find flowerpot! Roger: " We ARE CHANGING THE SET A BIT FOR GLASGOW" !!!!"BRILLIANT SINGER ADAM LAMBERT"and it was funny how the host said "the sold out tour so it doesn;t matter any more" - i guess relating to promotion of the tour This does not surprise! I felt like the sequence of songs was a vocal Olympics for Adam! I am interested in what they change. Since it is Roger saying it, maybe we could get "Drowse"? Brian most likely not do "Fog on the Tyne". Something for Scotland tonight maybe? I think they might do something a bit different for the encore costume change break -- did not seem to have enough time for Adam to make that change there. I am expecting TSMGO and DA to appear at some point. The change I would like to see is for them to move IWIA somewhere else..... One Vision DSMN AOBTD etc. I am not a huge fan of IWIA. So many Queen songs I prefer. *** I looked to see what Queen has done for Scotland shows in the past and came across a stunner...the last Queen concerts in Glasgow were.... 01.12.1979 Queen Apollo Theatre Glasgow UK 11.10.2008 Queen + Paul Rodgers SECC Glasgow UK Excluding the Q+PR show -- they have not played Glasgow for a shocking 35 years! The played two shows in Edinburgh last in June 1982!! 01.06.1982 Queen Ingliston Showground Edinburgh UK 02.06.1982 Queen Ingliston Showground Edinburgh UK

I really wanted to give One Vision a chance, but I can't seem to catch hold of the melody.
I thought it made the beginning feel very messy.
I agree with those of you who prefer Now I'm Here, as the intro.
Meanwhile, Save Me is stuck in my head and I'm enjoying it.

Yeah Bri won't be doing Fog again...I like though that he appears to be very open to doing a pre LOML number which will change I bet a lot depending on the venue...and in london maybe we'll get rare Queen song :D
As far as changes though...hmmm...
I actually like One Vision as an opener but I will admit it doesn't work as well for QAL and QPR as it did for Queen at Wembley and I'm not sure why. The middle section is a bit sloppy. I also think the music levels weren't right and ROg's mic was down and the keys were down...a bit muddy. They fixed it by I Want It All but One Vision suffered from that also I think....And QPR tried it only a handful of times before switching so perhaps they weren't as happy with it and are going to revert to a different opener..we'll have to see. Either way I'm glad they did it though for the chance to hear something different.
Much clearer as an opener with great sound...
Unlike Q3 (and I sense a lot of you) I LOVE I Want It All...it's such a great live number...and I love the interaction with Brian (and Rog) on vocals and it contains one of Bri's best solos....I am not sure it goes good at #2 though...it's a good #3 or #4 to be honest. BUT I wouldn't put DSMN there either. I like DSMN where it was...I was not fan of it being opener...it's just not dramatic enough to open and I think it's not quite right as a #2. I've ALWAYS thought TYMD worked well there...but that's just me.
As far as Drowse goes...I've come to the conclusion that we only had one report of it being heard at soundcheck...it's quite possible it was the roadies testing out the equipment and it was never actually Queen soundchecking it so I doubt it's that.
Roger admitted to cocking up SCC yesterday at the end...so maybe they'll put Show Must Go On there...who knows. Whatever it is it'll be a small change and I'd be shocked if it was anything over exciting.
Although with that being said, I feel quite positive that Hammer To Fall will make an appearance at some point....

Hey guys! Waiting for my ride to the airport and it's off to London I go! Hopefully I'll be able to surf the web a bit while I'm waiting. See you all on the flip side! I'll check back in tomorrow when I get there! So excited to meet the ATOPers who will also be there!
