DancyGeorgia---This is the song that pierced my heart---left it on the floor, aching and lost-----the first time I heard Adam singing it 7 years ago. Don't know why, it just DID. And I listened to it over and over again. Thank you for posting it. So sorry I double posted this video but I didn't see it and this is so special, it deserves to be seen again, and again, and again.
Well, time to go back to the store and get me some Oreos. Thanks, Adam!

So far the list is NY, Charlotte, Atlanta, Orlando, Chicago and Las Vegas. Nashville may be GA on the floor and seats in the balcony The Riverside in Milwaukee is a beautiful theatre and all seated. Saw the GNT there. The videos from the Milwaukee GNT showed Adam having a GREAT TIME (synonymous with H-O-T) and the audience sang his songs outside the theatre after the concert, if I remember correctly. Check out the videos for a less subdued Adam.
The Riverside is a magnificent theatre built in the late '20s. My mother saw movies there as a child and told stories of someone playing this grand organ to accompany the silent films. And then several of my high school friends worked there on weekends in the early '60s. Wonderful memories.

I'm really loving LUCY as well. Love the audience screaming hey, hey, hey...with the fist pumps. And Holly does a wonderful, sexy Lucy. OAL should do this tune at the festivals this summer. YES, YES, YES!!!! Hot as hell!!!!!!!

Am I the only one who needs an Adam Thesaurus? Running out of superlatives.
The lighting is Fantastic - really showcased Adam and his fabulous wardrobe, regardless of the size of the stage. Exciting and dramatic and moved the music along. The costumes are spectacular - the colors, design, the fit - on Adam and Holly and Terrance. The rose-colored suit is ELEGANT and the color and tailoring are striking on Adam. The band is top-notch in every way - cohesive, ability to improvise, musicianship, etc. with Peter and Adam Ross stars individually. Love Adam's showmanship and amazed his hat stays on, too. TOH and Runnin' were out of this world. Cassie and our music experts spoke to this already. The proximity to the audience just seemed to bring out Adam's playfulness and flirtation and joy. Thank you for streaming and giving us wonderful videos because it felt like I was one foot away from Adam and he was looking at and singing to me. It reminded me of the Celebrity Theater in Phoenix when we were so close to Adam. The audience could not have been better - Adam was impressed with their vocal ability and was so excited during the call and response. (I think he should bring them to all of his concerts.) So happy I stayed up til 3 am for this one!

Dancy, so sorry for your loss. Life can be so fleeting for some of us but just remember how important your caring and involvement was to your friend's daughter. You played a key role in her short life. How lucky she was to have you! Big hugs.

I downloaded the Shanghai concert from deven, and it is beautiful! Thanks for the link. Watching the first three songs - EITN, FYE and GT - Adam looks very hot and sensual to me. All smoldering looks and striking poses. He doesn't just walk across the stage, he struts like a peacock, prowls like a black panther, knowing he is alluring. He doesn't have to grab his crotch or thrust his pelvis to look very provocative to me. Add to that, I can read the interpretation of the song on his face and in his gestures. There is so much emotion in his rendition of whatever song he sings. He inhabits the songs. That with the stellar vocals, draws me in and turns me on. Other male pop stars don't do that, do they? Out of curiosity, I watched a bit of Sam Smith performing live at Rock in Rio. NOTHING sexy, sensual or hot about him. Ignoring the less than stellar vocals (he just doesn't have great control of his voice), I saw two expressions on his face: sadness and a happy smile. No emotional storyline in his rendition. OKay, you say, but that is Sam Smith. He is basically asexual onstage. And full of angst. Point taken. I then checked out Bruno Mars' set at Rio. Much more energy, a touch more sensual than Sam, but the adjectives "smoldering", "sexy" and "hot" didn't come to mind. As for facial expressions conveying the emotions of the song, he scrunches up his face and closes his eyes, but is that emotion or straining for the notes? Hard to tell. How about Ed Sheeran? WGWG and bed head hair. Enough said. Justin Bieber? Yes. He has the raunchy moves, for sure. And the gangsta dance moves. They don't look genuine to me. I don't see any passion in his performances, just choreography and posturing. Justin puts on a big, powerhouse dance performance. Depth and emotional delivery? Not so much. Singing? Don't even go there. I don't mean to slam other well respected, beloved pop singers. Obviously they are doing something that audiences are crazy about. I am just thinking of the concern that Adam is, what? Too restrained? Doesn't do enough in performance? From what I am watching in Shanghai, that man is the master of the slow burn. Every movement and expression intentional and meaningful. He builds an atmosphere on the stage. He is theatrical. A showman weaving a spell. I love it! Adam is the expert of the slow burn and then the smoldering look and gradual smile, which he so aptly applied at FS1 during WLL. Subtlety is more appealing IMO than overtly gross actions. He generates more excitement turning his back to the audience and swaying his hips than grabbing his crotch.

yup, that was! it felt somewhat genuine actually... but out of ALL those heavy breathing provoking moments, the one that's never been outdone yet is the FS1 WWL - at least not for me... going to post, may be some one hasn't seen it yet www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ljb_JsvUEcwill always be my favorite. So glad I decided to go. I believe I listened to my audio of that song on constant repeat all the way home Like many of you, FS1 was also my first concert (excluding taking my daughter to see Shawn Cassidy) and there is nothing comparable. My DH and I were walking around the venue and a black Mustang convertible pulls into a driveway right in front of us. The next thing I see is Adam getting out of the car with his knit beanie pulled down on his head with wisps of blue hair sticking out from the bottom. There were about 10 of us standing there and he graciously came over to greet us and sign autographs. My first impression was ... He is SO TALL! Being the honest, sweetie he is, he crossed his legs and said he really had to pee so he couldn't stay and talk but he told us we were in for a fun time and a big surprise. AND WHAT A SURPRISE HE GAVE US...the entire audience had this LONG, DRAWN OUT, UNBELIEVABLE AUDITORY and VISUAL ORGASM during WLL. When he smiled shyly/coyly during the performance, he reminded me so much of Elvis. I will never forget this as long as I live. Thank you, Adam, for energizing my zest for life and love of music and allowing me to fan-girl over you now and forever.
