www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vq-NfOnFwBYAdam was in very fine voice last night. It may be just me, but I think that now that he has taken over the entire Bo Rhap, he has committed to it vocally at a different level. The beginning verses are close to classical: strong, dramatic, operatic. As if he had held back previously to fit better with Freddie's voice when trading verses, but is now free to let 'er rip. Then, the return to stage becomes much more rock n roll, to ultimately finish with a caressing delicacy. Masterful! So glad they made the change. My only tiny complaint is that I don't think the staging works now that Freddie is absent for the final lines. It looks good here, from the side, but from the front Adam is rather hidden from view way in the back. It might be touching to finish with just a spotlight on him for the final lines, like he started the song. Then, the final chord, light up the whole band completely with flashing lights and all. Just a thought. ETA: Oops, I see this is actually Lodz, not last night. But my observation about his rendition remains the same. Is there another singer in the universe who sings better than Adam? I don't think so. He has taken this epic song to new heights. The whole song has been given to him as a precious gift. And he is REALLY showing his appreciation. I especially love the intro verse that is being don in its entirety. That's not often the case. It's a really beautiful story that is told, tender and tragic from beginning to end.

Pssst - Don't tell those 'Dutch security specialists about the invention of the cell phone. It is a rather recent thing, lol, they may not know about it yet. There are such things as bicycle bell apps or ringtones on those devices.
Now in Freddie's days, they had to bring real bicycle bells, that is true. But today? Kind of hilarious that arena security doesn't know what a phone can do. Or concerning, depending which way you look at it.
=====================
And with regards to the picture:
I don't even have words to the gall it takes to behave in such a way. I am all for crediting to photographer if known, but if you take a picture of another person - a famous one at that - you should feel happy and honored to see the person tweet it and thereby giving it endless spread, that your picture would have never achieved otherwise. And sure you can kindly request to get your name added, no problem there.
But this kind of punitive behavior, when not only did you not have formal permission to take the photo (technically, it is forbidden in many venues), you got your picture marketed by the person, who is supposedly your idol. Well, now you got your name dissed in front of the world, and especially your friends. Unfortunately, Barbara Kremer is a pretty common name. Hope that nobody who coincidentally has that name, find themselves harassed. Anyhow, rather unfortunate, all the way around.

Didn't Freddie's fans ring bells when Freddie did this bit with the bike? I thought I heard that. I don't know what the big deal is with fans doing it. It's sounds like good clean fun to me. I expect there will be some fans who will somehow get a few ringy-dingys in there anyway. And maybe it's a matter of metal detectors at the entrance and people arriving with all kinds of metal bells.
