I want more Grandma June.....think I'll send her a tweet. I have a feeling she's rather busy or maybe someone got bored with it. [....] Snapchat changes its filters regularly, and the Grandma June one is gone now.

DISCLAIMER: a post on a Russian Queen fan board ( vk.com/queenrocks ) and obviously can be based on fan's imagination or it could be true - I have no idea...makes for a nice rumor though Vladimir Anisimov Друзья, я был на концерте в Кёльне и мне удалось перекинутся парой фраз с Джимом Бичем. К сожалению, концерта в России в 2016 не запланировано. После фестивальных концертов, в октябре запланирован второй этап концертов 2016 в Азии.
Translation: Friends, I was at a concert in Cologne and I was able to exchange a few words with Jim Beach. Unfortunately, there is no plan for a concert in Russia in 2016. After the festival concerts, the second phase of 2016 concerts is planned in October in Asia.
HUGE grain of salt, etc...why would Jim share any unpublished info... wouldn't it be announced by now...Adam talked about album writing plans in the fall...on the other hand - anything is possible - the new expensive production - why not use it for more than just 16 shows - right? Adam could possibly take a couple of weeks off writing and go on the road again... So invaluable to have someone who understands Russian around here!! And yay! For rumors like this. Every bit of news that could mean QAL is going on is so very welcome!

Do we have this from Cologne? KQ thru STL.....REALLY CLOSE UP! You can really see the rain coming down when he picks up the umbrella. Oh cassie ! Worth listening to this STL! Towards the end he does this operatic thing that I think I've only heard him do in My Conviction. (Shamelessly showing my cluelessness in that field here). But I like it, more please!!!

At only 8 minutes isn't that a bit short for Brian? I guess the reviewer is lucky he didn't get one of the 15 minute solos. LOL It is unbelievably short -- it was around 15 minutes at many concerts in 2014, and much longer at many Queen and Q+PR concerts. Clearly the reviewer is not very knowledgeable about Queen live. As I keep on telling everyone, it is way too short. Even 15 minutes is. For me the solo feels structured like an Indian raga, with an alaap (opening) and building up and flowing down from that. The really good performances I've seen take around 30-45 minutes per raga. That is the time you need to really build a story and get lost in the music. So... Somebody should tell Brian that he needs to play at least 15-30 minutes more.

I put my Cologne recap in the Cologne concert thread. Warning: it is a bit long, that is why I didn't want to post it in the current thread. That should be about today's show. And judging from the stream... what an awesome show it was! Again! This should be a direct link to my recap: adamtopia.com/post/757097Thank you for the wonderful RECAP, Nic.... I hope you have fully recovered by now Thank you for your compliment! And I'm getting better every day. Adam and Queen helped a lot!

Oh look, nic , he's copying you... Yeah, I saw! That is my snapchat filter by filter. I forgot to save mine though. also... The insomnia snapchat: 4: 42 (seems that is a magic number) And that is why you should quote me as nic42 since I won't listen to any other name Edit: shit! I hope he is not secretly following me on snapchat.

What a night in Cologne!! I want to write a book on just the show, so I can keep every little detail in my memorie. But feelings and memories change when you put them into words. So while getting a little melancholic already about the fact that I can never fully relive that night, gratitude is the most overwhelming feeling I have right now. Everything about this journey started out a bit shaky. I've been pretty ill in the last weeks and I was unsure whether I could even go until the last moment. The travelling was too much for me and when I got in Cologne I was absolutely exhausted, all I wanted to do was lie down on a bed and cry. I couldn't meet anybody that night and knew I had to give up my standing place near the stage with pre entry (which means a guaranteed front row spot). I was very lucky somebody had a seated ticket that didn't sell and that I could use (thank you again skaschep!). That meant I could go to the show after all. When I got to the stadium I took my seat next to the lovely mireille. I hadn't been able to sell my own ticket, which meant I could still go to the floor if I wanted. And with that in mind I relaxed. It started to rain quite badly and I really felt for the cold and wet people at the front. I was very very grateful to be seated and dry and insanely jealous at the same time because I wanted to be close enough to see Roger drum, to stare at Rufus, to watch every detail of Brian's fingers on the guitar and to sink into Adam's eyes. Of course the energy of being in a stadium at the start of a QAL show got to me, the excitement and when track 13 started and then I couldn't stay in my seat. I walked to the people on the floor and found a place way to the side and several rows to the back. I didn't expect anything and then suddenly the curtain opened a bit and Adam walked out, all the way to the left stairs and stood directly in front of me! After all the preparation, and changing of plans and worry about whether I could go this miracle happened and he was there. Singing, laughing, performing! Brian was there, and I never loved that man more than in Cologne. Roger and Rufus and the others were there but I couldn't really see them. Which was fine, for that night. I was with Queen and the world was allright again. After a couple of songs I had to sit down again, but it was absolutely okay. I had time to watch the audience a bit and I enjoyed them so much. Many little stories coming together in one big crowd. The woman who was jumping up and down and singing in an area where everybody else was just standing and enjoying and everybody smiled. The couple who were there loving it together, swaying in eachothers arms. A tall man with a hat and a beer standing back a bit so he could dance better. The two friends who were there side by side for the whole show and who turned out to be a gay couple in the end when one of them shrugged something off, finally kissed his boyfriend intensely and sang the first few lines of WATC to him together with Adam '... sand kicked in our face, but we've come through'. The wet people. My friends from all over Europe in different places in the crowd. The new friend from Germany I made just before the show, who was carefully telling me that she thought Freddie had sent Adam to revive Queen. The whole stadium doing Radio Gaga. The people in their sixties doing a proper jive during CLTCL on the wet floor. The burly Queen fans with a grin from ear to ear watching Adam do Killer Queen. It was amazing. And Adam was amazing. His voice, his confidence, his body (feathers and tight pants unffff), his presence. The way in which he lives those epic songs. The crowd responding. I was so insanely grateful during the show that Queen is here to show us this side of Adam too. Somewhere during Brian's solo I went down to the floor again and stood in the rain. Closed my eyes, raised my face to the sky and became one with that very moment. Such a magic night!

http://instagr.am/p/BGAUeidyd2q Translated from Danish by GoogleCome on, it 's been a good Jelling Music Festival. Queen and Adam Lambert closed the party on the big stage - and what a show. We have many , many pictures from the concert and the festival . Find them in galleries on vafo.dk ???? : Mads Hansen Well, well that does look like a handcuff attached to that choker. I have keys... Good! Could you get my hand in and throw them away please?
