So far, I have uploaded individual song audio in M4A and FLAC for Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, & Nottingham. I posted the links near the end of each concerts thread. Thanks dancygeorgia. Can I make a CD with the M4A file because I have just made CD's with mp3's before? I don't know about M4A's. Thanks for your help. Yes, you can make CDs with M4A. If you are using iTunes, M4A is the default format for iTunes. You will need 2 CDs for each concert. Everything before Under Pressure should fit on CD 1 and Under Pressure and everything after should fit on CD 2.

The wording that Shirley uses to describe the calendar are: which I interpret to mean the WBR contract not until after M&S agree to EP. And I'll lay odds that while Adam may have discussed contacting M&S with UMG that this was too important to not make the first overature personally. If I was contacted by his management I'd think they might be shopping it around multiple places. He communicates directly with his fans I'd think he'd do it for this too. The order IS very, very important. And this whole thing has been brilliant. Think about how much more attractive A is versus B: A: Adam Lambert November 2014: Great vocalist, songwriter, large-passionate-loyal fanbase, charismatic celebrity + current Queen frontman getting great reviews and currently partway through a world tour filling arenas + Max Martin and Shellback on board and Max Martin EP of album (he was EP of the biggest album in ages, 1989). B. Adam Lambert July 2013: Great vocalist, songwriter, large-passionate-loyal fanbase, charismatic celebrity And think how much better a contract A got vs. B would have gotten. Sure Warners would have signed B, but A is worth a lot more. >> Plus, Max is working with an artist he wants to work with vs. working for a label A&R exec like he did no FYE/WWFM and IIHY on his one day in the studio with Adam. I would bet a lot of real money that DMG contacted Max Martin and set up the meeting. (I am not saying it was their idea, but just how the process would work.) In addition, DMG has the relationship. Adam worked with Max Martin for 1 day, and met him at one event. DMG's executives have worked closely with Max Martin for years including for Katy Perry's albums. Adam would not have talked directly to any labels until very late in the process. None. DMG is run by pros and pros do not work like that. Also Adam is a very smart business person and he knows how to get things done and how to let his management do their job. Note: on Jan 15, 2015 Adam said, "The next day, Warner Bros. contacted us....."
The parallel between Adam's situation and Katy Perry's history are uncanny. When talking about Katy Perry in 2012, DMG's Marti Kirkup said... **** Note: Somewhere there is an interview from 2011 when Adam talked about working with Max Martin on WWFM and IIHY. it was around Apr 27, 2011 when Max and Dr. Luke got their 2011 ASCAP Awards from Adam and Ke$ha. It may be a matter of semantics and timing but I think those of us who said Max wouldn't work with him without a label and those of us who said Adam was well enough known that he could before any label deal, were both right.

It may be a matter of semantics and timing but I think those of us who said Max wouldn't work with him without a label and those of us who said Adam was well enough known that he could before any label deal, were both right. I was one who said that Max Martin would not work on an indie album (he does not do that) and we now know that Adam was signed to Warners before he started to work with Max Martin, Shellback and Co on music. (Source Billboard article). 1. Max offered to be EP on the album. 2. WMG signed Adam. 3. They started to work on the songs -- writing camp. 4. March 20, 2014 Billboard article Adam working with Max Martin -- speculation about label starts. Adam was signed to a major label just not announced. I think that Max agreed to EP Adam's album when he got his label deal. Probably seems like I am splitting hairs but I am very excited that Max Martin agreed to be EP for Adam and agreed PRIOR to contracts being signed. It is a bit like having a huge director on board for a movie project when you pitch for the $1 billion to make and promote the movie. If you don't raise the money (or in this case, get a great label deal with a big budget), the project does not happen. What idiot label would not sign Adam + Max Martin and Shellback on the heals of Adam's successful North American-Asia Pacific arena tour with Queen? I just hope when the album comes out the suits at RCA say "oh, fuck!! how did we let him go!" ETA: They said what happened..... From Billboard: Enter: hitmakers Max Martin and Shellback, with whom Lambert first worked in 2009. The three reconnected, vibed and decided to work together again, with the Swedish songwriter-producers offering to executive produce his next album, due out in summer. By that point, signing the singer, who also fronts Queen on their current tour, was a no-brainer for Strang.
.....
Warner Bros. Records CEO Cameron Strang "We've all been big fans of Adam's, and we're also big fans of DMG's Steve Jensen, Martin Kirkup and Bradford Cobb. We reached out to them [Adam and DMG I think = them] and then this interesting partnership started to form with Max Martin and Shellback, who we do quite a lot of business with. So we all got together and discussed it and thought this would be such an incredible team creatively. It has all the ingredients to succeed if we aligned."www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/legal-and-management/6443483/warner-bros-ceo-cameron-strang-on-why-he-signed-adam

Rolling Stone Review of Q+AL Vienna (From Croatia) www.rollingstone.hr/vijesti/glazba/queen-i-adam-lambert-u-be%C4%8Du-najvjernija-oda-kralju-freddiejuGOOGLE TRANSLATION Queen and Adam Lambert in Vienna: the most faithful ode to Freddie KingBy Igor Jurilj 04.02.2015 12:13 Twenty-four years since the death of Freddie Mercury and forty-five years since the foundation of Queen, Brian May and Roger Taylor, as the only two members of the original lineup to keep going, and giving people a quarter century after what seemed at the end of the experience of one of the largest rock bands. After Paul Rodgers Microphone decide to set up and so far najdostojniju exchange for the recollection of Freddie - 33-three-year Adam Lambert, pop-rock vocals of whom were in Vienna the first day of February quiver with fear and prejudice all fell into the water. When in 2009 stood before the jury and cameras American Idol audition, and then sang the opening lines of Bohemian Rhapsody, Adam Lambert certainly did not realize that six years later be vocalist of the legendary b (r) enda, or help them win the prize of the best band years. In the final talent show, which is due to his homosexuality lost to Khris Allen, the first time the times shared the stage with Queen, singing "We Are The Champions", not knowing that so itself predicts the future. Three years later appearances in front of millions in Moscow, Kiev and London, to the end of 2014 the band without Freddie and John Deacon ventured into glam tour with lead vocal today on a world tour reminders, but not imitation. Although it did not seek, Adam appeared as a dignified and worthy replacement for Freddie no tendency copy Freddie's extravagance or flambojantnosti that, as well as his innate character possesses natural entertainers. As a manager experience, the young singer confidently gliding stage from the opening "One Vision" and projected all his dramatic shaped Broadway swagger through songs like "Killer Queen" or "Break Free" in their appropriate Baroque production. Royal band requirements, but also provides the royal treatment which is the crowning proof rugged stage with its three platforms and oversized hydraulic screen to sentimental and not at all harmless audience aesthetic meet. Here laurels to natural behavior for the stage, but the audience for the inherent sense of mass leaving Lambert as a showman par excellence. Sorry, royal entertainer! In his somewhat theatrically-a comedy, but by no means ridiculous speech and communication suggests knowledge of the pulse of the audience, but also the pulse hardened fans of the character Freddie just waiting on the wrong move to make him crucified, as is the case on the Internet where it those who did not see quick to condemn. But the Viennese case, as well as the previous station, the current tour, confirm sincere immediacy young vocalists cheerful approach to life. The singer finally Viennese audience blessing after thanksgiving for acceptance, giving a green light and two thumbs up for no acknowledgments role. Lambert himself under pressure fetishization of legend and myth totemizacije, under the pressure of mass delusion about replacing Mercury, but you should know that he is not a new frontman of Queen, but the voice that recalls the band's legacy still lives. Moreover, Queen 2015, many will blame, reveals its neglected side, particularly those names Brian May who is for the time of the original team was in Freddiejevoj shadow, while still gets the opportunity to show the full tone and voice. Therefore, the Queen is not Adam Lambert, but are Brian May and Roger Taylor. In the middle of the concert, guitarist modest intimate and acoustically reveals private individuals astro-physicists, storytellers and singers, as well as an introduction to Einstein's twin paradox bare sits in the middle of the audience to deeply conducted runway where after the story, like a shaman or benign grandpa surrounded by grandchildren, singing Love of My Life. Quite unexpectedly, the back of his points colossal projection Freddie, whose voice completes the pathos of the moment and, instead of collective euphoria, provoking tears sliding down the face of two generations of audiences. Two generations have found themselves on stage for two sets of drums. Roger Taylor and his son Rufus same, according to Brian's acoustic set and playing string instruments, entering into an unexpected clash of drums. Sljubivši so past with the present Queen, Taylor announces young blood in the band, and she rounds from the same biological and sonick family. Young Rufus, except as outrageous image of his father, equally masterfully takes the baton and compete with the legend that after bubnjarskog of Performance ascends to the throne before the colossal circle of light and transmits the lyrics It's a Kind of Magic. Reactions are expected approvingly because of sentimentality and nostalgia mediated, although Taylor did not even knee curly guitarist, let alone who had been as vocal and three octaves. But that is all a good show and that show must go on, confirms Lambert. After lascivious movement in the first two sets in leather jacket and a little steampunk release, the third part begins with Tie Your Mother Down in pure punk outfit and flirts with the audience in the form of collective singing, and then the famous bouncing and clapping "Radio Ga Ga". The two-hour time machine ends monumental Bohemian Rhapsody with Lambert-opening introductory verses, to be donated and moved confuse giant on the very movable, light portal in retro-utopia, that thirteen thousand souls from across the former Empire enthusiastically and unanimously supported. The young glam-rocker returns to the finals where verses alternating with unparalleled his example and shows you exactly side by Freddie that does not pretend to be him. Vocal and stylistically different, Adam reigns supreme stage cultivating all the qualities of Freddie Mercury, with no intention of imitation, no matter how the sincerest form of flattery. Own mannerisms camp, Lambert is set as the perfect choice for Mercury`s work, and in his style and vocal presentation does not possess that quality of what masculinity is, despite his flamboyance and excess, Freddie radiated. Moreover, Glambert, as he is called fan base, not adorned with rough texture resulting from the chest, but softer and gentler vocal, should not shrink from the fact, at times moving and Freddie's borders, as confirmed by the Brian May. In a suit leotard with a well-deserved crown on her head, Adam Lambert comes out for an encore driven by a three-beat rhythmic blows the audience to We Will Rock You. Shows of the 25 stations through queenovsku past rounds off with stadium bestseller We Are The Champions, acknowledging so as playboy glam rock grandiose voice worthy of invocation mustache king.*** I love that bolded part.
