7.14.12 TSMGO, For One Final Evening

Indeed! I'm so happy for Adam to have fulfilled one of his biggest dreams, and feel so privileged to have "witnessed" the epicness of Queen & Adam Lambert in concert, thanks to all our wonderful & generous Atopians and other Adam fans! Thank you!!

Now, it's back to Adam Lambert, the solo artist, and his music! I've got this thought in my head for a while now ever since Adam playing AZ State Fair news came out. Phoenix is the 6th largest city in the US and also a big radio Adam black-out since early Jan. The only song had ever been played here was WWFM, now with the upcoming State Fair, I'm thinking the radio is gonna pimp the fair and all the performing artists as well, generally. This is the opportunity to call in (or thru online) the stations to request them play Adam, to let them know he does have an audience here in this big desert! I know quite a few fellow Arizonians here on this board, maybe we can put our heads together to form some sort of "game plan", and I know there're lots of Adam fans out there that are not active on fan boards, if you're lurking right now please think about it too. The best stations to request are 98.6, 98.7 & 99.9.

Any Arizona resident Atopians interested, please PM me! Thanks!

ETA: gonna post this in the numbers thread too.

What does this mean? ???

Sounds like you guys got an excellent stream thanks to Catz!
Apologies - I have nothing of weight to report beyond what you know - it was greatness.

Truly Adam had his unbelievable vocals fully deployed. I thought he particularly adamized a couple with some fun runs - unless I imagined it - which is fully possible at this point.

At the end I started to think he wasn't going to let WATC end - and I understood why - he sounded glorious and the guys seemed to be feelng top notch as well. But all good things must come to an end to make room for other good things.

I'm glad you got to see Roger grab Adam by the scruff of his neck at the end to shove him out front on the catwalk - clearly a strategy Roger had devised ahead of time. Unfortunately, Adam is slippery and soon scrambled back behind them. Then Brian waving at Adam to get up from his kneeling 'i'm not worthy' position and offering him an elegant hand up like the gentleman he is - awww.

I spent some time explaining some things to the person I sat with who was a new-ish Adam fan. On his other side was a lady who spent a lot of time texting while Adam was singing then kept asking us if we knew how wonderful he was and tried to quiz us on our level of fandom. (I went with the 'no english' shrug and defense.) I am puzzled by this fan species:)

One note: I saw a comment earlier about the seated area and their sitting during Adam. I don't know if this has been mentioned but it was sometimes a bit of an issue - I don't know if people are technically supposed to sit but it is quickly enforced by the theater folks if anyone behind the stander complains. I was lucky the people behind me didn't want to sit - esp last half. Most people do sit most of the time but don't complain about those standing - but it caused some heartburn in a few places and a bit of drama in one spot in particular. (The hateful, sour faced old guy and his female companion who caused this big drama early on really irked me. And that doubly irked me because it distracted me from Adam for a short period. Special hell for causing a dust up while Adam is singing, people! Special. Hell.)

On another front, I was reminded again of why I like Tommy - he is such a good egg.
