Apologies for interrupting the flow of today's thread, but as there is no activity in the Vancouver Meet Up thread, I would like to post this info here: I still have a hotel room booked at the Sandman hotel across the road from the arena, but will not be needing it. Before I cancel the reservation I thought I'd put the information out in case someone still needs accommodation in Vancouver for the show. It's a room with 2 double beds. I need to cancel this room as I won't be using it, unless someone else might like to take it. Just jumping in here to add that my daughter's plans have changed a little and she needs a room to share as well. She had alternate plans that fell apart. SO if someone wants, either, to share the Sandman room....she is there to share....or, if someone already has a different room and would like a roomie, that would be great too. Because of all the excitement here today, I think I will post this again early tomorrow. It would be great if someone did want to share a room....cheers.... What a great day it has been...

A guy with a PhD. A grandfather. I think that he must be disconcerted with the language Adam sometimes uses, or the things Adam says and does. Then I remind myself that this man worked and lived with Freddie Mercury at his most outrageous. Hosted parties with dwarfs carrying trays of cocaine on their heads. Lived the wild life of a rock star before Adam was even born. I don't imagine there is much Brian hasn't seen. Adam may even seem a bit tame compared to Freddie.

You have to take into consideration where Adam was placed in the line-up and the rhetoric that had taken place beforehand. Not to mention the stakes for the protest/resist tone of the event. I was actually afraid that Adam would have played it too safe. Instead, he judged not only the immediate audience, but how it would play out on youtube. It's a rally cry, not a valedictorian address. I think he delivered a speech for the audience, at the high point and rally cry for the event.

One incident that I recall was in 2014 when the North American tour had done the first few concerts. A music critic tweeted out that the harmonies were pre-recorded on a backing track; they were too good be done by Brian and Roger live at their age. Brian tweeted back to the guy, "Fuck you! That's our job." Also, I think Brian often has a pained expression. I think it is his look when he is concentrating. Of course, he also could be genuinely pained at times. peace&love

Adam is looking very fit and deliciously thin in these photos and vids. He looks perfectly ready for the beginning of the QAL tour. And the speech was perfect.
No way is Dr. Bri shocked or disapproving of Adam's language. Good grief. As was just said in the above post, he has done it all, seen it all, said it all. He's lived the excesses of a rock star's life for decades. And I've heard Brian use the F word, too. He may be getting older, but that just means that he's been there, done that.

Watching Adam's speech on YT this popped up. How did I miss this video? Some of what Adam said sounded familiar, like talking about adopting Pharaoh, but I don't recall SEEING the video of this interview. Duh! So, for anyone else who may not have seen it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSkhplULj5U#t=716.653202
