It was made from the 6.6 GB video and converted to a 1 GB mp4 video that has chapter selection when played in iTunes or on an iPhone or iPad! And the 150 ms out-of-sync between audio and video were corrected. And there is no watermark on this video. A very big thanks to mmyy9 for doing this and to Terra for her help with the sync!!
mmyy9@mmyy9 (Kiev) I converted the 6GB MPEG from QueenZone bit.ly/N5qpX4 to an iTunes-compatible mp4 w chapters for DL (1GB) bit.ly/LvQRa2
I had problems downloading this using IE - it kept pausing and then finally told me that it could not download it. But it downloaded perfectly the 1st time with FireFox.
"While a movie or video is playing, move the pointer to bring up onscreen controls. You can play, pause, scan backward or forward, and adjust volume. iTunes lets you navigate through chapters if this option is included in the video or movie."
When I clicked on "download", I got a box that said I've chosen to open the 6GB MPEG from Queenzone w chapters.mp4, and asked me if I would like to "save this file". Do you have to save the file before downloading? Technically challenged here.. appreciate any advise. Thanks!
Yes, when you click on "Save this file" that is what starts the download.
OMG I would LOVE a DVD. RL is kind of crazy busy and distracting lately and I have so little free time for stanning. Bad timing! I couldn't watch the live stream on Saturday and I have only been able to watch a few of the Kiev videos -- WWTLF, BR, and STL (Somebody to Love was EXCITING!). If there is any way for a lazy, time-challenged fan like me to obtain a DVD, I would be so happy to pay for it! I would love to be able to watch the whole show when things slow down a little for me. So count me in if anything like this is happening! PLEASE!
The crowds for the Kiev and Moscow shows are incredible. And Adam's confidence, which was evident at the Wilkes-Barre show, has blossomed. He belongs in front of crowds like this. It struck me while watching one of the vids that he was - even in Kiev - incredibly relaxed, and his energy exchange with the audience felt almost conspiratorial. It's just amazing to me that he can look out into a crowd of hundreds of thousands of people and interact as though he's talking to old friends. But it felt that way. Really amazing. The combination of his vocal talent and his incredible emotional intelligence is just mind-boggling, and it's what makes him a star.
May I completely piggyback post and say I'd buy a DVD/audio cd too? I know no one here would sell for profit, but I'd like to compensate for your time, energy, shipping costs, etc. Please pm me if you have a cd and a DVD dl! Thanks.
I'm too incoherent to be articulate about the Kiev and Moscow concerts except that I'm sleep deprived. I guess I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed some of the songs that I didn't even think about before, like Crazy Little Thing Called Love or I Want to Break Free.
There should totally be a Madison Square Garden or Staples Center or Red Rocks, one-off HBO special with Queenbert down the road.
Adam's eyes look beautiful, hair is stunning. Blonds outfit is not too flattering, weirdly. Where's that giant rock LOL. His leather belt in Moscow is bunching up his waist, because his waist is wider than his hips, so it looks like he's got a spare tire when I don't think he does? In any case, he looks great no matter what, but perhaps a cropped jacket over a tucked in shirt is not the best long/short balance. It cuts off one's torso twice.
OK, noticed in one of the Show Must Go On vids, are people sitting down in the Moscow Stadium? What?! Don't sit at the concert yikes. You can see they're sitting because some stand up at the end of the song.
I'm totally enjoying the musicianship of everyone. Am not normally a giant guitar/drums person, but could listen to Brian/Roger all day (not their singing as much) but their playing, definitely!
OK, back to more of no sleep. Happy Fourth everyone, and thanks to all those who generously bring over tweets, pics, links, recaps etc. It's much, much appreciated.
I don't want to seem crass, but does anyone know how much money Adam might make from a show like this. I've always loved his total honesty that part of the reason he auditioned for AI was to make a little more money. I love the idea that Adam now has enough money to pay for nice things because I think he is the type of person that would really appreciate nice things.
You know that the Kiev show was for free, as they all donated their fee to the AIDS charity ?
To Adam this wasn't a random crotch grab though. It didn't just come out of thin air. He is very literal with his visuals at times and the grab came while he sang, " I got stiffness in my bones" from FBG. You can't really accept all the other theatrical literalizations and not accept this..... JMHO.
Geezlouise, I agree. And I don't think the crotch grab is about Adam trying to appear sexier or needing to 'go there', I think it's just part of what he does. When so inspired, lol.

Repeating myself and double piggybacking (hmm, sounds a bit lewd, haha) but me too!

Yes save the file.
Thanks! Downloading now. Will it automatically load onto iTunes or do I have to do something? And once on iTunes I can burn a DVD, right?
You do not have to shout but if you want to chat....

ayleim: Just checking - so there were NO Adam-sightings in the performance show right? Then I don't have to worry about being near the TV later tonight, I can just listen from the kitchen. :D

blueberry: A tech question. When I post, I'm stuck in BB Code, can't get back to Preview. Any ideas? I have Preview as default in my profile, but that doesn't help.

Q3: blueberry. there should be a two labels on tabs at the bottom of the REPLY box -- one labeled Preview and one labeled BBCode. Can you see these or are they gone?
May 19, 2013 2:08:40 GMT -5
blueberry: Q3, I can still see the labels, but when I click on the Preview label, nothing happens. And every time I start a new post, it automatically takes me to BB Code. Otherwise it doesn't matter, but posting pictures would be easier in Preview (copy+paste).
