My professional musician sister always has interesting perspectives on the QAL concerts we have attended. She does not follow Adam or Queen, so she views the show from a performer's eyes and ears. One thing she noticed that I have taken for granted. Adam's movements were so perfectly coordinated to the music. Almost like they were choreographed. They enhanced and punctuated the phrases and the instrumental rhythms. They indicated a thorough and comfortable knowledge of the exact arrangements. They added visual energy to the sound. Another characteristic that makes Adam a great frontman for Queen. Love your sister's take on the shows! I first started noticing "new movements" from Adam back when they did the i-heart concert, and it's only gotten better and more polished since then! Punctuating the phrases and rhythms is exactly what he's doing, and I love it! Like Adam has said... he's internalized all the Queen music now... it's kind of in his bone marrow, so it really frees him to get creative with that "visual energy".

Like Adam has said... he's internalized all the Queen music now... it's kind of in his bone marrow, so it really frees him to get creative with that "visual energy". Something interesting I noticed in the last show(s). As you probably know, I am as vicious as Simon Cowell when it comes to forgetting lyrics, so I pay close attention to all the mistakes Adam makes, e.g. "In The Lap Of The Gods (Revisited)", he cannot get the "believe me/forgive me" part right 50% of the time. He had some recent issues with IWIA, too; couldn't keep Peter Pan, Frankenstein and Superman in order on a few occasions; butchered Dragon Attack at least twice during this tour, etc. When singing WWRY, I noticed that he would use his body to illustrate (and keep track of) the first two ages - kicking a can, waving a banner... And then last night he did kick the can, but then in the second verse he sung "young man ... somebody better put you back into your place" and did not do the banner waving arm motion. Then he came to "old man" and sung the banner line, to which Brian raised his arm and waved, smiling at the audience! I got the impression Adam did it intentionally to celebrate the 70+ years olds on stage with him, putting down the rebellious youth and pointing at the "old men" still kicking ass up there! youtu.be/K3NidhA5IeY?t=104He made the same mistake in Atlanta on the second verse, and ended up repeating the "somebody better put you back into your place" line for the third verse. I totally expected him to "fix it" in Charlotte. If he made the mistake accidentally again, at least the recovery made a lot more sense in the context of the tour. If it was intentional, it totally worked for me.
