Good morning, and here we go. Another tour, another chance to see people recognize Adam's insane talent. I want to add my thanks to all of you who bring the goodies. I feel so fortunate to have this place to come to, where you all recognize how much we want to see the performances. From the streamers, to the videographers, to the in person reviews, to those who search and provide the wonderful content to share with us, I cannot say thank you enough. You provide so much enjoyment to so many, you are appreciated more than you know. All across the world, people are enjoying the fruits of your labors. I am not on twitter, but if anyone tweets a thank you to the lovely person who went all the way back to her hotel to get that cord she needed I would appreciate it. I can't help but feel how wonderful it is to share this appreciation of Adam with so many people who "get it." I feel that person last night just knew how many people could share her experience, and was willing to go that extra mile to provide it. Definitely gets it. SOOOO appreciate that.So, for all the QAL enjoyment you all will provide us over the next months, a hearty and heartfelt thank you! Done! Thanked her again, and send her your gif.

WOW is right! Amazing review, brings the Freddie fandom underbelly to light! (bolding is mine): "Channelling the common desire and trademark determination of Johnson, Hagar, Pineda and Hansen, Mercury’s successor is on a mission to prove, once and for all, that the show can – and must – go on. Adam Lambert must be sick of hearing that oh-so familiar ‘it’s just not Queen without Freddie’ refrain but he hides the frustration well. It is Queen. And, yes, it is without Freddie. Welcome to the real world.That world is a far, far better place for the assured Lambert and his refreshing take on a back catalogue brimful with brilliant rock anthems. The American Idol finalist has breathed new life into a staid act. And he’s done it in the face of a shit storm of wholly undeserved criticism, ill-judged scepticism, deep mistrust and staggering insensitivity (the backlash following Queen’s live New Year’s Eve set on the BBC was extraordinary). Lambert has never pretended to be anything other than the respectful custodian of Mercury’s sparkling legacy but his band mates have hardly helped douse the flames.
Brian May and Roger Taylor might have identified the one man capable of fusing past, present and (possibly) future where Queen is concerned but even the giant trailers transporting towering lighting rigs the length and breadth of Britain are tactlessly daubed with Queen + Adam Lambert. From day one the Indiana-born entertainer has never been allowed to be a part of the band – merely an extension of the brand. This tour – like the stories of those bands referenced above – will prove that’s sheer folly. Lambert dazzled in front of a full house on Tyneside, matching a series of outlandish outfits to his versatile vocal range. If the opening four numbers proved to be a forgivable false start (nerves may well have got the better of the eager-to-please singer) then his take on Killer Queen – while stretched across a chaise longue and supping Champagne – proved to be the turning point.Lambert nailed it and just about everything else that followed. Even a potentially challenging ‘duet’ with a virtual Mercury didn’t faze the 32-year-old as he traded choruses on the evocative Bohemian Rhapsody. May and Taylor looked on with pride as their protégé pulled out all of the stops and Lambert’s reward should be a more inclusive role moving forward.Fear of the frighteningly blunt pro-Mercury lobby might prevent that but the majority of a capacity crowd appeared to appreciate the driving force behind their favourite band’s glorious resurrection. Lambert is the right man, in the right place at the right time and without him there really would be no Queen."

ADAM LAMBERT retweeteteTelegraph Music @telemusicnews · 18 Std. Adam Lambert and Queen: ''Freddie is like a myth, how do you live up to that?' tgr.ph/1Isvowc Here you go....UK conquest begins: I have "spoken" (online) to several (six now!) Queen-fan friends who were at last night's concert. A couple I have know since I met them at a Queen concert in 1975 in Philly!! My takeaways: 1. It was great. It was all great. They loved Adam. 2. They were disappointed not to have a rare song surprise. 3. SM-WWFRM was amazing. 4. There were very, very few Adam fans (AKA Glamberts there). 5. They say the audience was LOUD and really into the show. 6. One friend met an Adam fan who flew into the concert from the US. He couldn't believe anyone would do that for a concert -- until he saw Adam. Now he is trying to get tickets to more Q+AL shows. Adam concerts should come with a caution label. It left me with a thought. The show and performances may be >>>>>> Q+AL Hammersmith. But the audience will be the same (actually 3-year older) UK Queen fans -- with a sprinkling of Adam fans. I am braced for shows with little to no "Glambert energy and youth" in the audience. I attended a lot of shows in the US and Canada but every show had a lot of Adam fans up front -- so I was surrounded by them -- and none of my concerts was without Glambert power. >> There is a difference between Q+AL fans, Adam fans (who love/like Queen) and Queen fans. I will be interested to see how it evolves over time.
