Q3 I've been obsessed with Love Kills since the watch party lol. I wasn't that familiar with it since I wasn't paying strict attention then, plus I don't think I knew how to use YouTube! They did it in the tour in 2014. I've watched the one from LA. It's absolutely gorgeous I'm watching just about every day. As a few others have said I'm a bit surprised Killer Queen isn't there but if that's what got left off for Love Kills I'll take it! They said the 3 of them made the choices together so I'm good with that. That's my take! I said best week of the summer- mini concert on Sunday, album announced on Thursday. I'm swooning with delight! My suspicion about the lack of Killer Queen is that it has always been performed as just a fragment and never the whole song. So it would make little sense to include on an audio CD or BluRay. Note that there are no other medleys on the list. However, there are not many songs QAL never performed in full, so Killer Queen is in a special category. Even Seven Seas Of Rhye, which on most tours included only the first verse, had full performances with all verses and guitar solo around the time of the first Asian tour ( see here). Bicycle Race performances started with only the second verse at the time of the pink tricycle, but then turned to the full version on the Harley... So it could have been included, but was not. Maybe because it is a visual highlight, but wouldn't be as impressive on the audio CD? I am baffled by the lack of I Want It All though...

Playing it every day. I wonder if you start a video someplace after the beginning, does youtube count it? I am sure many people did/are doing this. And if Adam was alone on that video, the stats would be much higher. I didn't realize that it was going to be a mini concert and probably others didn't either. It was TERRIFIC!!!! For what it's worth, that's my rationale for the number. On a side note, the other performer reminded me of someone I encountered at my library when off their meds. A five minute performance, not 15, would have been sufficient to get the message across.

Re: Songs that are not on the Live Around the World album. I have decided to imagine that they saved a few songs for a future live release, along with other excellent versions of songs in this release. They are planners and I like thinking ahead.

180,000 Americans have died from Covid-19; devastating fires in CA are destroying homes, killing people, countless animals, and national treasures like sequoia forests; an unheard of two hurricanes are heading for Louisiana; people are hungry, unemployed, unable to pay their rent or mortgages and terrified to send their kids to school during a pandemic without safeguards; and, mr t is withholding funds to help this country and continues to spread lies and hate while he plays golf. The Governor of California is asking for assistance to fight the fires from Australia and Canada. The lunacy and devastation is beyond belief. Time to escape into the calming music of @adamlambert before I have a stroke. Hugs and sending positive vibes to all who are in the midst of these horrible fire storms and those bracing for the hurricanes. Objects can be replaced but please take care of yourselves.

Maybe because it is a visual highlight, but wouldn't be as impressive on the audio CD? I am baffled by the lack of I Want It All though... i think you're right about KQ. It's a totally visual song. It's one of my favorites regardless of the versions we've seen. Just funky and fun. I really do wish IWIA had been included, though. Those vocals of Adam's on that song are off the charts. And I love the call-and-response that he and Brian do to seque into the song. But anyway, I will treasure this CD and DVD. I have my doubts QAL ever recording original music. The QAL tours they've done are real standouts of the decade. Unsurpassed!

Hugs and sending positive vibes to all who are in the midst of these horrible fire storms and those bracing for the hurricanes. Objects can be replaced but please take care of yourselves. Thank gosh for some good news. This is an update from yesterday... www.yahoo.com/entertainment/california-governor-gavin-newsom-asks-221753192.htmlGovernor @gavinnewsom today announced that the White House has approved California’s request for a Presidential Major Disaster Declaration to bolster the state’s emergency response to wildfires burning in Northern California.
Better late than never, How this will action out remains to be seen. It seems was just informed/was not knowledgeable that California did align with national forestry or whatever gov agency, to try to mitigate the fire problem, therefore HeWhoCannot amed could not say CA was doing nothing to prevent the fires. Honestly ---in a disaster, the political party or trivia should not matter. Boots to the ground, should be immediate. That initiative seems to have "opened the gate". What does he need to move/budges, saving face is what is more important to him. Poor Puerto Rico has never been dealt the assistance it has required.
