sizzling63 thanks for the info I'm thinking about getting seats to the side, just of the floor a little as well... at the first TOH concert in Berlin I really felt my bones as well at the end of the night even though I'm just 25 but the bigger problem was my weak cardiovascular system...so I got a little dizzy with all the standing...second time around in Munic I sat alot more outside waiting in line and then inside I sat until Adam came on stage... and about that jeans-mood-thing...I was thinking about "wild"^^..who knows!...at least my excitement is running wild

GA with no seats is called Festival seating in the US and one of the reasons it is not often done indoors in the US anymore is explained in this paragraph from Wiki:
Festival seating
Festival seating typically refers to the form of general admission in which there is a large open area (generally outdoors) and all spectators must stand (unless they are permitted to bring their own portable seating). Many music acts use festival seating because it allows the most enthusiastic fans to get near the stage and generate excitement for the rest of the crowd. Some performers and bands insist on a festival seating area near the stage.[citation needed]
On December 3, 1979, the Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati, Ohio, was the site of one of the worst rock concert tragedies in United States history. Eleven fans were killed and several dozen others injured in the rush for seating at the opening of a sold-out concert by The Who. The concert was using festival seating. When the crowds waiting outside heard the band performing a soundcheck, they thought the concert was beginning and tried to rush into the still-closed doors, trampling those at the front of the crowd.
The tragedy was blamed on poor crowd control, mainly the failure of arena management to open enough doors to deal with the crowd outside. As a result, concert venues across North America switched to assigned seating or changed their rules about festival seating. Cincinnati immediately outlawed festival seating at concerts, although it overturned the ban on August 4, 2004,[1] since the ban was making it difficult for Cincinnati to book concerts. (In 2002, the city had made a one-time exception to the ban, allowing festival seating for a Bruce Springsteen concert; no problems were experienced.) Cincinnati was the only city in the U.S. to outlaw festival seating altogether.
I know that when U2 wanted to do Festival style for the Elevation tour in 2000-2001 they had to fight for it with the venues because of this incident. It's also one of the reasons you will sections marked off with barriers to keep crowd pressure minimized.

So, what does this mean? Adam feels torn? Adam feels blue? Adam feels washed out? Adam feels ????? Hope he is doing alright and is just bored and looking at his jeans or something.... "Worn out" That was a quick trip to SF, Sonoma, and back

The popular sitcom at the time, "WKRP In Cincinnati," did an episode about the event. It was very powerful and respectful. As you described, there have been compromises made for certain shows. I think there are ways to control crowd entry to big venues that make it safer.

"Worn out" That was a quick trip to SF, Sonoma, and back I think "worn out" is probably right. Adam was on a whirlwind trip full of both work and fun. He's probably tired. I don't want to read any more into it. I like how he plays with words and pictures to communicate.

I don't want to read any more into it. I like how he plays with words and pictures to communicate. Adam is a very good communicator....and he sure knows how to spark discussions here and there haha. Funny, just when I thought that he may have a lot of time on his hands, he hints at being "worn out". Then again, a very active weekend with lots of traveling can probably make you more tired than a few days of scheduled "work commitments". Looks like he combined both just recently.

Julia @sunny_julllia Apr 1 💗🌓 #adamlambert #blackandwhite
Speaking of black and white. The other day I saved an Adam photo, hadn't done that for a couple of months. And that night I wondered if I'd downloaded a virus with it. It was a nice virus if it was one. I don't have a screen saver usually going on my machine although I have had in the past so if I want to start it up it knows what pictures i want. Well that night, I get up in the middle of the night and my computer, laptop which is running but usually powered down by that time, is having a merry ol' time playing Adam pictures. And the really weird part was that it wasn't just the folder I have of him, it was somehow find in there or on the web just Black and White photos of him.
so two things weird - screen saver going for no reason, and only black and white.
So I'm thinking maybe it's a sign. After all his first big Idol song where everyone (not talking about glamberts here) picked up their ears was jackson's black or white. It would fit with a throwback vibe for the next album.
