The Phoenix show at the Celebrity, with a rotating stage making it difficult to shoot videos, was a home run for me. This was the "practice show" where he debuted his songs before his TOH tour. The excitement was palpable as soon as he walked onto the stage. "There I Said It" had everyone gasping but here is another goodie. Stick with the video to get to the end. Fantastic! This is for you grandduchess! www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfMBlSjTUhY That was a show and such an enthusiastic audience. I remember him looking so surprised and pleased at the end. I felt I had turned into a statue trying not to move while I did the periscope.

It is nice to have my suspicions confirmed about It's Late and SYW. Glamberts, of course, want to hear them because they are new, and we have heard all the "hits" dozens of times. Die-hard Queen fans, probably the same. But, I suspect that a majority of the attendees are not familiar with Queen's deeper album tracks. Anyone who watches sports, TV commercials, or listens to music aired anywhere knows the big hits. They are part of our collective culture. The audience gets energized when they hear the familiar strains start. And they get a bit restless with the unfamiliar songs. I think that is why some reviewers say the show starts slowly before hitting its stride with AOBTD and FBG. Before watching the QAL concerts I had never heard HTF or SCC, and I venture to say many other audience members had not either. But starting out with the less familiar cuts may be intentional, in order to give the audience a couple of numbers at first to take in the visual spectacle, and to ramp up the energy gradually to full force. Once the show is speeding along, losing the energy for It's Late and SYW, in addition to the selfie stick and the long guitar solo, probably was deemed too much. Certainly the pacing they decided on worked very well for them. They seem to know their full audience well. It will be interesting to see what they change for Europe. LOL! I am so glad you pointed that out. I had never heard HTF or SCC either before QAL. I really like HTF but I go crazy for SCC. Adam is so animated and rocking and a bit raunchy and I just love it. I could not figure out why some reviewers would say the show did not start until AOBTD and FBG. WTF, I wondered what more do they want. It all makes better sense now.

lol...I've always wondered...If you guys could show someone ONE single video (yes broad term and it's meant that way) what would it be? Someone says: "You keep talking about this Lambert-guy...show me ONE video of what the guy is about, so that I can get an impression of him" (do people get the gist?) Since you are asking... My cousin who is Bulgarian, married to an American and lives in Germany asked me something like this. So I made her a Google Presentation called "The Essential Adam Lambert". On the first page entitled "If you have time for just one song...", I put the WWTLF video from Isle Of Wight. The day after my Vancouver QAL concert, my parents, who were visiting us from Bulgaria and had no idea about my AFL addiction, asked me about how it was, and who the guy who sings in place of Freddie might be. So after 9 years I finally "came out" as a Glambert to them. This time I decided to start with the beginning of the Queen Rocks Big Ben concert, mainly because he looks very playful and cute in the opening DSMN. That worked well. The reaction of my mother blew me away (and she really likes Freddie!) First thing she said was "Oh my God, he is gorgeous!" Then came "What a voice". And what totally surprised me was "and he can not only hit the high notes, his voice is so nice in the lower range!" We spent most of the afternoon going through more historical videos. When I showed her the AI audition, she did not recognize him It was an amazing day... That is really great! It makes it really nice when family can appreciate Adam like we do.

bringing this post from Queenzone because it's new info and confirms my guess re the reason It's Late and SYW were dropped: www.queenzone.com/forums/1482711/deep-cuts-on-the-2017-tour.aspxredspecialusa
Posted: 10 Aug 17, 01:08 I ran into Pete Malandrone after the concert in Nashville, and that was the first thing I asked him after introducing myself. As to why "It's Late" & "Spread Your Wings" were out of the setlist, his answer was "They weren't going down well." As in the crowd was dead to them. Nice guy glad to have met him briefly. Too bad! They seemed to be going over quite well with the audiences I was in, especially SYW! It's Late was very long, maybe they could have just shortened it a bit. I still think it's weird to cut the 2 new set songs from the album they are celebrating. But, oh well, at least I got to hear them 3 times! I do feel badly for those who didn't. I am also glad I got to see IL and SYW live multiple times, but my observation was that most of the audience was sitting during both songs and seemed to be unfamiliar with them -- particularly noticeable in Phoenix and Las Vegas.

Trying to post the Morongo video of Wicked Game. Not sure I'm successful----? I know it's not one of his own songs---but OMG---Adam at his most sensual in his delivery, facial expressions, glances around the room---too gorgeous for words on that hot, rainy night in the desert. If I came across this video at random -on my way to who knows where---and didn't know who this was, I would have to stop in my tracks and frantically look him up---and that would be the beginning of the end for me! Uncle!

(even though I booked my hotel at the wrong location, farther away, and missed my chance to meet up with the group). I remember that the audience wouldn't stop applauding after Adam sang "There I Said It". It kept going, and going, and going....and Adam was so touched by it. The theater was so much fun and the rotating stage gave everybody a chance to be close. The energy was out of this world!
