That was a great article by Billboard...but I don't remember Adam and his group singing STL on AI? I thought I had seen all his AI performances, did I miss that one?
I, too, was wondering what caused Rami's grouchy face in that pic that was posted...not sure it was the concert though. He had an equally grouchy face in a pic that was posted on the twitter feed below, with Lucy not looking too happy either. Maybe they had an argument/fight?
Aw, love that pic of Javi and his family. Is that his Mom and brother he's hugging from behind? I wonder what they thought of the concert?

I wouldn't read too much into Rami's expression. It's just a moment in time. I'm sure he had a good time. He's seen QAL before. MSG is just such an iconic place. That show looked incredible. Another one tonight! Adam is one lean, mean, singin' machine.

I think Rami has resting pensive face.

Going to try and put down some impressions about last night.
1) It was f**ing amazing! the atmosphere was electrifying! People were screaming laughing singing yelling jumping up and down ( my DD and I were in the ninth row on Adams side close to the thrust but my boys who were in section 108 reported the same)
2) Adam Was in top notch form vocally! He was giving it all and he sounded “better than ever”. So did Dr. Bri, his guitar was singing for a whole orchestra, I never stop being amazed at both of them! I am sure Roger was awesome, I just have no opinion re drums...
3) I think Adam keeps trying to make Roger laugh all the time, there is some constant connection between them. We always see the interaction between Adam and Bri, but there is no less or even more between Adam and Roger. Roger was so happy on that B stage - easy to see. But the same happens when Roger is at his main stage spot.
4) Boy those outfits are sparkly! Between the internal light and energy Adam emanates and the external sparkle it’s such a joy to be on the receiving end!
5) Dr Bri was visibly HAPPY to be performing there, at the MSG! I could sense his “connection” to the place, the words were coming from his heart for sure!
6) I have to say that the sound and the MSG was not the best, Adam’s voice was sometimes a bit muffled. And of course there were some technical difficulties;
the first one was with Adam’s controller box, the one that sits on his waist. They had to replace it right before Killer Queen: He Took his jacket off his right arm so it was hanging on his left arm and as the tech was replacing the equipment Adam tried to save the moment and kinda danced with his upper body. Hope someone caught that moment on video.
The second one was on the B stage when the drum set was not ready and Adam said “idk what to say”
The third obvious one was during WWTLF when Adam had to pull his ear monitor out.
7) Neil grew beard so his dimples are not prominent any more :(
8) Spike had a sparkly jacket on!
9) Adam waved or winked to several people around the thrust. I didn’t “recognize” anyone on my side but there were at least 3 groups that were “his people”. Now I know that Rami and Javi’s family were at the thrust center.
10) There were several photographers coming and going during the beginning set, so I’m sure reporters were there in force.
11) my kid’s reaction was interesting: DD - this was her 3rd QAL (one each tour): Adam’s voice changed from what she remembered, now stronger ..,lol... she loved Brian singing, especially LOML! And the little planets swirling around. All the outfits were a hit, except for the long grey jacket during the B stage set “should’ve been black” - lol again
DD’s BF - his second QAL: loved all the outfits! Had to put his fancy techno earphones on to have Adam’s voice more prominent, he didn’t think the sound system was good enough for the quality of sound QAL needs. He is in awe of the VOICE.
DS - his first QAL, I put a real effort into convincing him to go. I think the movie made the difference this time, plus 2 mins walk from his work. He THANKED me after the show! He said he hadn’t realized how elaborate and sensory overwhelming the whole thing was! He was happy he knew about half the songs.
we also had a very interesting discussion re “success” in the world of pop, Adam’s and Queen’s popularity, astrophysics and many adjacent matters...
ok, I need to reset for tonight! I expect Adam to be more playful and relaxed! I’ll be far from the stage, as I want to see the overall effect, this will be my first time ever this far, hope the stream works well.

Aw, love that pic of Javi and his family. Is that his Mom and brother he's hugging from behind? I wonder what they thought of the concert? I am not sure of this, but I think Javi is taking the photo and the man in white is his dad hugging his mother and brother. This is a complete guess because I can't think of anyone who would take a candid photo from behind of Javi/mother/brother and then share it with Javi ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

True... I think most are like some of us here, just checking.... btw all those around the thrust tickets are gone, but there is one lonely ticket for “only” $601. So they cut the price from yesterday’s $1256!
