ITA -- although I am interested in the business aspects only because they make the "making music" possible.
Adam has a great management team and is a pretty sharp business person. I never worry about him.

OAN I also love the 2 new jackets but am not so sure about those baggy, baggy black pants! Q3I know we don't know anything for sure yet. But do you mind explaining what you mean by Adam's management and a 360 deal? Would Philymack's other acts have that?

Lord help me! Just got home a while ago and am catching up on the show. OMG! Is he perfection or what! I love that jacket of many colors, and the hair and the eye stuff and the long red coat and the change in the set list and TSMGO! ETC! It's so late, I have to go to bed, but all I can say is, this tour is off to a VERY good start!

I adore Adam, but don't really give a crap who is management is, etc. As long as he keeps making music, I'm good. I don't understand the fretting and the nitpicking about this stuff, especially when we don't know all the stuff that goes on behind the scenes, and will probably never know. OAN, love the 2 new jackets, but not so sure about those baggy black things he's wearing....are those pants? I couldn't tell from the pic. But the jackets are awesome, especially that greenish one.

Love those outfits, all of them really, the striped jacket, wow! That outfit for the more burlesque sequence is fun, and crazy in a very good way imo, I also love it even more than I did the pink suit, maybe a different shirt under the jacket, but other than that, I think it is great. And all that red in the opening sequence lifts the mood and I think that the rock segment was always rather stark in those black outfits. Of course the fact that Brian now joins the colors and harmonizes with Adam just enough to make it look super cool, is a total win.
If anyone has this image where Brian is jumping around like he is 20 or something, as a savable image, I would really appreciate that (was about 2 pages back or so).
Regarding the title, I have to say that I am with those that would have preferred a different title and don't really like that we preemptively announce something that has not officially been announced. Who knows what timing Adam or Shoshanna had planned for that, I doubt it was the day of the opening of the EU leg of QAL, a day where we tend to have lots of guests or less regular readers here. I know, we cannot stop the speculation on the web, but we don't exactly need to add to it either. So that's just my two cents worth, there. I also want to hear how Adam contextualizes it, and even if I know that he has to pick his words carefully, for the most part, Adam is clear and open enough that we all can get a good read from what he has to say. Until then, it is ultimately just our ideas, and should be phrased as such, not as fact, imo. Ok, enough of that.
I have not had a lot of chance to listen to anything yet, and I am so sorry to hear that he is apparently in need of cough drops and such. Not good for the start of a tour, but probably better now than later when they have this very intense stretch where they do 3 countries with 1000 miles or whatever in between stops, and with just one layover day. Luckily he can fly those big stretches from Germany/Denmark to Oslo and back, but I have no idea how the crew will manage. That stretch will be grueling.
Meanwhile, I am looking forward to hearing those new little pieces here and there, and I tend to not mind when Adam goes down rather than up in a certain passage. I love his lower register, and while I certainly don't wish him any vocal problems, I sure hope he uses his lower register quite often. It has gotten so much stronger over the last few years too.

Finally watched the Facebook video that includes WWTLF. It appears that Adam had some ear monitor sound feed issues, I almost expected him to get off the stage and punch a sound engineer I think it explains a few choices to shorten or avoid some sustained high notes on that song. However, watching all other performances I could find, he appeared in a very good voice. I did not expect to like Tear It Up this much as an opener. When it was posted the other day as a possibility, I went to listen again to the original recording, and could not imagine it being as energetic as the short WWRY. As always, they proved me wrong

I only saw a 1min clip of Lucy...not sure about tempo, but I one that would say it's not as beating/punching as on his solo tours...
singing Lucy, WWTLF AND TSMGO?...DEAD!!!

Bless his heart. When did he say that? Spanish interview linked earlier - lots of people sitting around table talking, need interpreter, a few smatterings of the group interview back in the UK. Had to accept cookies in Spanish and click on a few other acceptos to access it. lol, maybe I should have gone incognito, but I try to trust news sites. Jablea , thanks for letting us know about the "secret weapon"! I will never tire of gushing about Adam, especially if it comes from Brian and Roger.
