I can’t seem to get to this article without subscribing to the newspaper. Odd because I was able to access without subscribing, but I'll go back and post the whole article in my original post so you can read it. I changed the link to a different one, and I'd be curious if you can see the article now using that link. Nope, I get the same subscription page telling me I don’t have access.

WOW, crazy rain. Hope no one gets sick. I haven't heard anyone say it was cold, so apparently it was a warm rain ... much like Saint Agathe en Feux when we all stood in the rain and watched Adam get soaked ... but it wasn't cold, I don't think anyone got sick.

Yeah, a tweet said it was 30 degrees - Celsius. So very warm!

Brisbane review: a few parts shared below. This author wrote of some good vibes coming from the concert and yet was quite critical in other parts ...especially writing about the 5 min "boring" solo of May in the pouring rain. (Maybe the rain was drizzling down his neck. I guess a 2 hr 15 production in the rain was not his cup of tea.) "It takes quite a spectacle to cut through two hours of unrelenting rain, but for the most part, this singularly spectacular British rock band handled the task with aplomb. .....Taylor is a fine drummer, and what he lacks in flair he more than makes up for in dependency. Backed by a percussionist, bassist and keyboardist, this quartet was in the pocket for the entire show, leaving May to noodle high up the fretboard to his heart’s content while Lambert’s remarkable instrument effortlessly delivered melody after classic melody. It’s still a tricky, layered creation that could just as easily collapse under the weight of pomp and excess, but the band did exactly what was needed while the stadium turned into the Southern Hemisphere’s largest karaoke bar for six or so minutes. The encore bracket consisted yet more massive singalongs in We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions, and it became hard to imagine a casual fan of the band — or a viewer of the 2018 film — walking away less than impressed.
At two hours and 15 minutes, it was a bloated show that could have easily cut some fat. But minimalism has never been Queen’s forte, and such complaints are churlish given that this could well be the last go-around for the two surviving members: May is 72 and Taylor is 70, yet commendably, neither man seems capable of phoning it in.
The Rhapsody Tour, then, highlights what Queen has always been: a good band with a handful of truly great songs." www.theaustralian.com.au/arts/music/review-queens-rhapsody-tour-in-brisbane-with-new-frontman-adam-lambert/news-story/d0cac323f89a8e3170a121baebea09f7

Is that from the guy that tweeted about his review? I can't remember his name now, and I can't open the link. Will have to go back in the thread to see if I can find it. He seemed impressed with the show, at least per his tweet.
ETA: found it...@brownypaul

Wonderful to see Velvet promotion gearing up for March and maybe more in April Four events in March so far, right? Newsweek GMA GLAAD Kelly Clarkson YEAH! I was thrilled to see all these things line up! Opening act for GLAAD, GMA, and then Kelly Clarkson! Adam's promo plate is filling up. GMA is smack between the GLAAD show and the Velvet official release. The stars are definitely in alignment. (I was hoping he'd get on Kelly's show at some point. She gets big names. I don't think Adam and Kelly are close buddies, but I'm sure they've crossed paths over the years. Both good people.) Wonder if he'll just perform? Or if he'll do a sit-down, too? Hope so. He's a damn good guest, as we all know. Any rumors re AI appearance? The album drop date puts it mid-AI season, not the best time I guess, although I have no idea when the season finale is... is it still in May?
