Sorry I didn't mean to repost that. I don't know how to reply to a specific post. I want to comment on the fact that no one moved after seeing Queen and AL in concert. I work at MTS Centre in Winnipeg where they performed on night 2 of their tour. Of course I was in the front row that night so I wasn't working the show. But everyone is still talking about how that was the best concert they ever worked at because the music was outstanding!! They were a little annoyed that they weren't too busy selling beer and food during the whole 3 hours of their shift. They said no one left the concert to buy anything and when they did they commented on how they didn't want to leave but they needed to use the washroom or buy something quickly. Lol By working different genres of concerts we see a lot of fans loitering around during the show. They chill in a corner talking to each other and some even watch on the tv screens. Not during QAL. Everyone stayed in their seats for the whole concert making it truly a ghost town for those poor workers who had nothing to do or serve anyone for a full 2.5 hours. Almost a year later and tons of concerts later they are the show everyone is still talking about. Thanks for that inside story. Makes it even more special for us fans. To reply to a specific post, use the QUOTE button at the top right corner of the post. Very cool to hear, I just tried to post to this & it went at the end of this thread. Hopefully works now. I'm Not sure how to post on someone's post either, we'll see if this works. Thanks for the tips guys. KAT111 this is really neat to here. We all love ADAM but seeing how much others loved him in that concert was really validating. AT MSG my husband & I tried to move closer & when we would go out in the areas by the vendors yes, there was no one to be found. Except the security who watched our every move & didn't let us move closer, there weren't any empty seats anyway. But we stuck our heads in different sections & people were just transfixed on them. I want Adam to do his music but I really hope he does an album w/ Brian & Roger & then they tour the following year & sell the albums at the concert as well as all the normal avenues. I also hope that at all the concerts they do this year that Adam will be able to sell his TOH CD there as well, I think that will help spread the love for him & his music. However, it is quite a different sound to Queen so maybe that wouldn't wk.

Forgive me for this post since it's kind of in the wrong place, but I really wanted to mention this. I was lucky enough to go to 4 of the Queen & AL concerts, Philly, Atlantic City, Madison Sq. Garden, & Merriweather Post (MD). The one thing I loved was at the end people just stood there, not able to move, it was like people just couldn't believe what they had heard. I've been to some concerts, not that many, but enough, we went to Katy Perry a few months earlier & people were leaving before the last song. No one left early for Q&AL, but not only did they not leave early, they took a few minutes to leave or even move for that matter, even 5 min's after they all walked off the stage. I've never seen that before ever. People were truly astounded by what they heard & almost in a shock & awe kind of a thing. It was very cool to see. It was at every place as well, I think people also didn't want to believe it was over either. I just wanted to add that, it was my observation, not sure if other people noticed that as well.

GMA concert series is free & open to the public correct?? Anyone go right after Idol when he was on, how does it work? How do you get tickets, do they limit it to only a certain amount of people? My husband & I are going to try to go not sure how it works though.

I finally was able to get Underground in my ITunes, my hubby figured it out for me finally or maybe it was just working in the am when he tried. I wanted to point out anyone in the Balt./DC area they have been playing Ghost Town 2x's a day on 106.5 Balt. It's been on around 2:30-3pm & later in the evening around 6-7pm. I have requested it both days as well. Didn't get a chance to see or request it today so not sure if they played it today. It doesn't appear 104.3 is playing it, I requested it twice & still didn't play it. I had heard it on their station though the first few days it was released. April 28-30th timeframe. I haven't heard it again though. I asked my girls 4 & 8 yrs old which song they liked better they both said they liked "Ghost Town" better. My 4 yr. old loves it a lot. In the car she always wants me to put it on. It's funny because she also loves "Show Must Go On" I play the New Yrs. Eve concert in London & she likes that one & "We are the Champions".

Help-I know I haven't posted in forever or much, but I lurk almost everyday. I pre-ordered the whole album in ITunes but it won't let me play "Underground" how are you getting the song??? It won't let me buy it either says I pre-ordered it, no button to press play like with Ghost town. How are you all getting it???

I was on the lower right side for AC, Section 122 in the middle but on the aisle close to section 123 which is the section directly behind the sound booth. This is the side where the catwalk extends to the back where Adam comes & goes from a lot. I actually saw Adam as he was walking off at one point, don't remember after which song however, right as he past the sound tech booth he made a motion like where he cupped his hands over both his ears & waved them over his ears & I could see him say (I read mouths really well) "I CAN'T HEAR!!" with kind of a pissed look on his face aimed toward the sound booth. So I guess in a way he yelled at the sound tech guys--- he definitely appeared annoyed.
