Not sure why QAL not being part of the streaming is suddenly a surprise to anyone. I asked a number of times here, more than a week ago, if there was confirmation they were included. The original video with Adam speaking at the beginning clearly showed the artists that were part of the stream... and the May 20th date only listed Mika and Fergie..... no QAL. So this is not something new and they likely requested no streaming early on. I remember you making that point. Now we just have to hope that they have something else up their sleeves as Pattihum(e) says.... whatever, can't wait! Edit: I wonder if there are lots of new elements to the show that QAL would prefer to ensure are perfect before streaming live....

The Apollo London numbers are really impressive. Not surprising given the amount of promo and press Adam has gotten in the UK + Queen. But still so nice to see. Open seating capacity for the Eventim Apollo is 5,039. At 5,087 it is almost 50 tickets over maximum capacity. This is one of the venues that opens up blocks of tickets for open seating concerts -- and the capacity is sort of liquid. In any case. that is sold out. Yes - I said in my Apollo TOH recap that the floor was definitely fuller for TOH than it was for QAL in 2012 though both were sell-outs.. I sat in the same balcony position both times and looked over (looking for my boys in 2012 - great Queen fans). The space at the back of the floor was noticeably greater in 2012 and I think the crowd was wider all the way back for TOH. And I don't think it's because Queen fans squashed up more - quite the opposite.....the TOH standers were super-squashed.... (My unscientific point being that I wondered if floor numbers were flexible depending on demand) Edit: and who wants to bet that Adam has a new hair colour tomorrow night? imo it was sold out and the 40 "available" tickets are probably the production allocated ones or some such... hair color (or colour for our EU freinds ) - I am expecting to see the same B&R matching hair BUT I don't think I'd bet on it ...#superimportantofcourse

Wonder if maybe a conflict with that new "toy" Brian is tickled about since they are going to be airing segments from each show. I'm hoping it's something more grand than that....but who knows. So guess we're back to mixlrs and fingers crossed that periscopes will pop up.
The weather in Lisbon looks delightful.
I'm expecting the grey hair to remain thruout this festival tour. It'll prob return to brown when back in LA...where we'll hardly ever get to see it. lol

Don't know. Something I meant to say before because I found it interesting. The Apollo Hammersmith have a system whereby if you have spare tickets, you can 'donate' them at the box office. They are then sold to latecomers at face value and the proceeds go to charity. The donated ticket bucket must have contained at least 20 tickets for TOH!!
Don't know if this is common practice but it seems it could be worth turning up (at the Apollo at least) without a ticket, however 'sold out' they are. And Nica #superimportant - hair colo ur......it's NOT going to be grey! I'll put a pizza in your little home town on it!....

Sad no live stream. The one from Rock in Rio was so good. Anyway, we have audio and like Bamafan said, hoping for Periscopes. Not sure what is planned with the GoPro but hope we get more than just bits and pieces of songs. I know - entitled fan but was looking forward to watching a full, professionally produced QAL concert and now not happening. twitter.com/mmadamimadamm/status/733330727153045505
