I thought so! Just a bit of the stomp stomp clap. My wish is the same as yours. I worry a bit about that. There's a bit of history there with Brian being a little crotchety..I worried about it when I saw that tweet today. He is someone who is hard to get out of a routine. I would bet he feels much more comfortable with WWRY/WATC than WWRY opening. He once famously said that when they stuck Friends Will Be Friends in the middle of the two in 86 that it was a mistake. Combine that with SYW having a few sloppy moments from Adam and from the band, I hope Brian didn't vote to scrap it for the familiar. Case in point. During QPR they were opening The Cosmos Rocks tour with a song from TCR, Surf's Up...School's Out and then it got shorter, and shorter, and then it went to Hammer To Fall which honestly I'm not keen on as an opener... I can deal with it overall just as long as SYW remains.... What tweet????

Someone tweeted to him a vid of the opening and he replied with something like: Interesting...and that may be the only time that ever happens! As in they were changing the opening....So I thought it might be a bit different tonight and it is...

Well, though the Vegas show is about to begin, here's my "recap" of last night. As I've already said "WOW!!!!". Can't remember who said it, but you just can't get the whole experience from the videos. This production reaches into the depths of your being, and it so overwhelming - so hard to put it into words. So much better than the shows three years ago, and that's saying a lot. I saw two shows at the Joint in Las Vegas, and only saw one arena show in Dallas back then, and I thought those shows were beyond words. I'm so happy that I have the chance to see two more of these shows (Denver and KC) so I can take it all in (quoting Paula Abdul on Idol) all over again! And so happy for those of you who will have the chance to see this extravaganza!
And yes, at the heart of it all is our dear Adam, singing his heart out, dressed in a fabulous wardrobe (loving the tight pants again), and looking like he was having the time of his life on that stage (as were Brian and Roger too). I can't stay on my feet for over two hours, so I have to pass on the floor seats. I was in section 110. the first large section on Brian's side, third row from the floor, fifth seat in from the left. Excellent seat!! For me the sound was most excellent through most of the show (much better than what I heard in Dallas). I agree that "Two Fux" was a little understated soundwise, but they were showing the lyrics on the screen so you could tell what Adam was singing. I disagree with what that stupid reviewer said about the crowd's reaction to "Two Fux" - people around me were hooting and hollering as he was singing it, and that also seemed to be the case around the arena. And the place was just about packed, and it was a most enthusiastic crowd throughout the whole show. Lots of gasps at these incredible special effects and lighting. As I said, you have to see this live to believe the impact of it all! So wonderful to see all the different types of folks, from hardcore Queen fans, to Glamberts, and people of all ages, including many families.
One thing I loved was the round screen above, instead of the two screens on either side - made it so much easier to watch the parts you couldn't see well (for me, for instance, when Adam (or Brian) was down at the end of the thrust - yes, Adam did seem to spend quite a bit of time there. They kept switching images quickly, which took a little getting used to, but the resolution was MUCH improved over the past shows. My favorite song, as always, was WWTLF - just spectacular.
One glitch that was rather frustrating - they didn't have the VIP check-in well organized, as they were letting in non-VIPs at the same gate, but fortunately there were a few people directing traffic to guide you to the tables where you needed to check in and get your ticket. Also, the VIP goodies are not near as good as three years ago - no T-shirt, no date on the tote, no glitter - oh well. And, it was so damn hot!!! I split my time between Albuquerque and southwest Colorado, and am definitely not used to 116 degrees!! Fortunately the arena was cool.
Well, that's what I can recall at the moment - still feeling very discombobulated and in a daze - Adam's live shows will do that to you! Thanks to all who are bringing pictures and videos - makes it feel real all over again!!
