I couldn't care any less about a messed up line here and there in a 2+ hour set, especially when it doesn't interfere with the flow of the song. If anything, it gives me an appreciation of the fact that it's all 100% live and how well Adam is able to cover it up and move on.
And let's be honest, Queen songs have lots of words in them and very often every chorus has little differences in it.

I am not sad QAL is on break --- because it is now time for solo Adam! Plus, we don't have long to wait for GCF concert.

I enjoyed the tour very much but I'm glad Adam's solo stuff and promo are just around the corner, and then there's the Global Citizen Festival. I'm actually very tempted to try and make it to that since it's so close to Toronto. I'm just a bit scared of general admission crowds and I missed out on getting a ticket anyway.

LOL! My thought exactly. I don't think I could enjoy an artist if I needed to look for a missed lyric or wonder about any change of delivery of some kind. But I guess we all view performances and listen to music differently and find enjoyment in our own ways. I loved my QAL show so much that I could not tell you if he missed a lyric or not. The place was rocking. It is all YouTube's fault I couldn't tell you if he messed up any lyrics in Vancouver, as I was there in the middle of it and did not care. But if I am in the middle of watching a YouTube video recording on a QAL concert and he messes up the lyrics, I experience a second hand embarrassment (as if *I* just made a mistake in front of 15K people), and I have to stop the video and skip it. OCD? I don't know, I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist... Definitely YouTube’s fault! Something similar to your vicarious ‘lyric flub embarrassment’.... i have seen loads of live QALs and I never really notice Adam’s skippy little dance in AnotherOneBitesTheDust. It’s just part of the show I love and am totally engrossed in...and the audience clearly loves it. Great BUT when I watch the videos, I can’t look at that bit....just have to turn away. Feel embarrassed somehow...uncomfortable... but live, it’s just Adam being gloriously Adam.

I guess there is something for everyone. I love that part of AOBTD the most, lol. In concert or on video. Not sure where the embarrassment comes in but Adam looks fun and sexy and like he is having a good time to me. I love it. Did not enjoy the fat ass bi***** that much (not a big deal tho as I don't have one) so glad he took that out of FBG. Tho I have to admit the Freddie speech bothers me, more than it does others, so I rarely listen to it. That I do cringe on as I don't see that it helps him much or adds to the enjoyment of the show. Thankfully, he did tone it down for my show. However, it was a great tour so no real complaints.

@ lurleene. It’s always good to know that others like things I don’t...puts it in perspective. And I can tell by the audience reaction too, how much that little dance is loved. Agree with you - re. The Fat Ass B.....s and the Speech. The first has gone already....and let’s hope the second is on its way out... edit: have noticed before, that your name can’t be tagged for some reason....
