So here is my recap of Vienna... Since I have nothing else to do on the bus home I'll painfully type everything on my phone...brace yourself to reaaaad
Pre concert:
On Tuesday I met with the lovely
betty and her husband, who were a joy to meet. We spent hours in a Cafe and later went to dinner. Thank you for everything and taking care of me, so I was less alone.
yesterday morning I checked atop and read we have a newbie in here who has been lurking for years. It was wired to think I was only a few minutes away. I did stop by the venue and talked to the girls there who of course were the sweet
metislight and her sister. They were the nicest girls and we ended up spending the rest of the day together. We actually stayed at the same hotel along with other fans. In the afternoon we spent two hours outside by a side entrance in the hope Adam would come in that way, but no :(
We had to give up all hope when we heard the soundcheck start inside.
I then went to the Pre show meet-up with Betty, her husband,
clematis and @queenal (thanks for organizing
) we shared stories of Adam and family. It was so much fun. Walking to the venue in the store across the street they played a queen song.
The concert:o
I was only a few rows away from Betty and Ralf. The two guys next to me (one about 55, the other 35) enjoyed the show very much, they had pleased faces throughout. The junger one on my right sang along every word (like me) and the other was living. They both just had this child's pure enjoyment, excitement which I adore to no ends in people. I want to thank these to guys for this. During the bicycle skid the junger had to laugh and put his hands to his face, shaking his head.
As for me and the show. I Looooved it!!! I enjoyed it so very much. Adam was on fire. It started with the high note in htf and went through that why in up. Those close up videos are very nice, what I saw of them, but in dsmn (I think) Adam did this INSANE dance on his high platforms. I was SHOCKED how he just doesn't break an angle. We have GOT TO get a video of that!
I digg gdml although I still claim that Munich got the dirtiest version of the tour so far. (metislight suggested it has to to with the top ama performances being posted that day and Adam ranking 12th)
After show:
The two girls and I went to our hotel bar and swooned. They were also so happy. Apparently there were sound issues which I did not have in my section. Growing up they spent a lot of time in Opera houses so they know good singing and sound. I heard it later on their videos too. They blamed the old speakers not being up for the high notes. Leaving for bed other fans walked in who were totally flashed by the show.
The next morning I met a queen fan. Except for the fld once she was all about Adam. She was so hot for him (who isn't?) she found out about Adam a month ago (and thought he WAS GREAT) and through him found out that queen was still touring. I took the liberty to (politely) ask her where she had been the last years.
She asked me when Adam would be touring again. And she said it's only been a month "and she's already crazy about him". Well, we know how that goes.
I'm just beyond thankful that I got to experience the two concerts and the people with it.
