Interesting that very few people recorded or posted Save Me. Not many more did WWTLF. Guess most Queen fans are more interested in the upbeat and hard rock songs? Save Me and WWTLF are more about Adam's voice than Brian's and Rodger's instrumentals. I know. That's why I look for them first!

And then another one! Do you know that expression that your body can travel by plane or train, but your soul always travels by horse? That's how I have been feeling these days. Somehow a bit of my soul is still in Cologne and will take some time to catch up. This is going to be a long one I think (sorry) because I am still figuring out how I am feeling while writing this. I arrived into Amsterdam in the early afternoon, with the content feeling that I was in the same city as Adam again. I dropped my luggage off at work (I work close to Central Station), which was very weird. Two words colliding in my head. I tried to find some fellow Atopians, but everybody was delayed, so I had a nice cup of tea on my own, with virtual Atop as my company. And headed off to the Ziggo Dome early. Then the concert jitters began again. I took some photographs of the people waiting in the snow, half of me very envious of them and half very relieved that I didn't have to be in that line. I got in right when doors opened, 6.30 PM sharp, and immediately walked up to see the curtain. Surreal! The same stage that I had been at just a day ago, but now in my home town. That's the moment my brain went into full Adam mode. I finally found Lilly and I was so very happy, but I couldn't concentrate on anything but the fact that YES Adam was in the same building as I was (sorry Lilly! we really need to get a shot at that party another time!!). The overload just continued when my real life friend (who got my spare ticket) called that she had arrived and we both went to our seats. Another world again. And this was all in the Ziggo Dome, where I have been quite a few times, my own ground, but now with Queen & Adam. More clashes in my head. And then it started! Adam on the curtain again! I had a great great seat, with a perfect view of the venue. Adam came out and killed it. And I watched the crowd respond and I was so proud. My (initially sceptic) friend was giggling, singing and enjoying the heck out of the show. I felt really content. But I didn't get swept up and lost. Yesterday, I wasn't a participant, I was a spectator. It did give me the opportunity to remember to film Save Me and WWLTF (yes! you will get it, but I have to figure out how to upload it. The quality isn't the best, because I wanted to watch Adam so I just put the camera on my knee, but you can see the effect from the glitter ball from above). I switched on a stream at a random moment, I knew I didn't have enough battery to do the whole show, but wanted to catch the end. Couldn't really see what was happening, whether there was another stream or whether it was even working, because twitter wouldn't load and the view count on my starting screen stayed at 0. But I just kept it on, put my phone down and stared jealously down to the people who got to touch Adam during Radio Gaga and who had the freedom to dance. This is most definitely the last time that I am not going to be on the floor for a show. During CLTCL a man fell down from the row above us, an elderly gentleman. He seemed to be allright (as he said himself) but it took a while before security got him up again and he seemed to be a bit groggy so they escorted him out. So I missed CLTCL and the 'new boy' applause. The people around me finally stood up for the encore. Adam was a glittery king again, he did some magical things to WATC and then all of a sudden it was over. I found myself with my friend, and Lilly suddenly appeared too. I tried my best to have a coherent conversation, but there were too many other things in my head. Trying to save the stream (failed...), finding some of my twitter friends. And failed at everything. Decided to just head home, after one more drink. And then in that random cafe I suddenly found the Cologne Queen clan and the world started to get whole again. I got amazingly drunk with them, charged my phone and was inundated with tweets and thank yous, so to my surprise the stream had worked. And I learned that it was a good moment too, as another stream had cut off just before. I literally had no idea. After a rough journey home on the train I found myself walking home in the dark in the middle of the night, Save Me and WWLTF on my headphones. Then finally something in me let go. I felt the magic for the first time that day, hours after the concert. Tears, and shivers, and the realisation that thankfully I am going to do this again. Once more. nic42 thank you for you recap, love it! It's so good for those of us who have no opportunity to go to be able to read real experiences of what it's like to be there!

Thanks. Cassie, especially for you: My First Video. Of course SM and WWTLF. I wanted to watch Adam and not my screen, so I just put the camera on my knee. So the visuals could be better, but I like the second half from around 6:50, where you can see the glitter ball coming down very nicely.

I never get tired of hearing the audience "oo's" & "aw's" when the mirror ball drops.

WWTLF is beautiful from that perspective. And you got a great sound without any talking or sing-alongs close to the camera. It is going in my QAL favorites list.

Not sure if these were posted.. GOOGLE TRANSLATE bit.ly/1vpFqfIoor.nl/#!/articles/adam_lambert_maakt_queen_weer_de_moeite_waard/concert ADAM LAMBERT IS QUEEN AGAIN WORTHFreddie Mercury is irreplaceable, because we are all agreed on that. Nevertheless, Brian May and Roger Taylor, the two surviving members of the legendary Queen, 24 years after his death are still not going to release the tape. Their dairy has all the necessary negative written. Let's just say that the shamelessness of the duo now finally not only financially but also artistically fruitful. Queen namely touring again, this time with former American Idol finalist Adam Lambert on vocals. A sold out show at the Ziggo Dome is both the culmination of his career, as the highlight in the life of Queen without Freddie. It takes some getting used to the new frontman. Lambert comes both in appearance and voice close late Mercury, but has hitherto best known as creator of fascinating little glam doll. His first and last hit in the Netherlands - What Do You Want From Me - you might know yet, but he scored again years ago. With his 33 years is a short Lambert pikkie who tonight constituent in the first numbers of the twenty plus songs, greatest hits setlist must prove obvious. A tall order, because during opener One Vision is the sound too hard and go singing and drama lost in the noise. Another One Bites The Dust follows, but is quiet and bare to make something loose. Although Lambert from the beginning, as a Mercury-approved entertainer, leaves little minutes in which he did not play the audience, the spark strikes only about just before he had to leave the stage again. After a brilliant performance of I Want To Break Free and mighty pretty massive singalong moment numero uno, Somebody To Love, the singer makes namely place for Brian May. It is the first in a series of excessively long, dull old farts sessions. Of course now earns gray gehaarde guitarist - with still an impressive head full of curls - respect for his work, but only his acoustic version of Love Of My Life is beautiful, because the audience everything oh so predictable sing along. Also predictable that a video of Mercury on the huge screen above the stage appears to complete the song. Roger Taylor and the rest of the band minus singer join after this sugar sweet scene in May for orderly implementation of '39. Then Taylor also allowed for a moment in the spotlight with a by him (moderate) sung version of A Kind Of Magic and a greatly exaggerated drum battle arising from a bass solo that precedes it. So gobbles Queen without Adam Lambert, Queen where nobody is waiting, a Queen that even comes short for the nostalgia, thirty minutes of the two hour show on. Later in the evening will follow such a moment. Then May plays the most boring guitar solo in the history of the Ziggo Dome. Well, solo? He strings together several mostly on power chords based riffs together while he hops to all corners of the stage and admires herself on the big screen. This spacious quarters was better spent on more hits with Lambert, who shine halfway this concert only really begins. Three times in succession he sings you the chickens on the web, at successively Under Pressure (with Taylor as a drummer Bowie), Save Me and Who Wants To Live Forever. Lambert twerkt, yes, twerkt across the stage during Tie Your Mother Down and starts later in a suit with leopard print, with a crown on his head to We Are The Champions. After the show suggests the woman of your reviewer that Freddie Mercury, he had lived in 2015, probably as outgoing and would have been quite as Queens new singer. We will never know, but Lambert live in a time when homosexuality (at least in our country) has long and widely accepted. He gives the band indeed a clearer glitter border. But above makes Adam Lambert, without real help of May and Taylor, Queen again worthwhile. He does numerous hits of the band not only honor, he puts them both in singing and performance entirely at his own hand, makes the gray twisted, flat-played songs even at times exciting. What is also striking is that Lambert exaggerated sentimentality actually completely omit. Only with Bohemian Rhapsody, we see him swallow, but much tastier than that number are odes to Mercury either. Lambert sings one verse, Mercury on the screen to another. At the end of the song they sing together. A heavenly blend of old's voice with the voice of new. Suddenly it does not really matter how long May and Taylor continue to utilize their band. Nothing really matters, as long as Adam Lambert just a big part of remains. By Randy Timmers / Photography: Bert Treep Seen: January 30, 2015, Ziggo Dome, Amsterdam
