Just wanted to pop in and say thanks for having this Queen fan around for the last few weeks
It was quite an experience.
Overall impressions:
I was cautiously optimistic when I first heard of the tour having known and liked Adam's voice while not being sure if it would work.
Kiev came and there were some hiccups but overall was pleased and again stayed cautiously optimistic that the shows would improve. In some ways I had perhaps some disappointment in the rockier numbers (WWRY fast, KYA, FBG) but in other ways he blew away my expectations (in the ballads like WWTLF, TSMGO (after Kiev:P), WATC) and yet in other ways my expectations were right on the money (the poppier & funkier side like AOBTD, Dragon Attack, Break Free)
The shows did get better with time and by the end I find that it was a great experience overall.
Adam did well, and more importantly to me - Brian and Roger not only did well but really appeared to have an absolute blast like i haven't seen them have in a long time. (the first couple of PR gigs were fun for them as well...but they really seemed to cut loose here). That fun was infectious.
And despite some OTT fans on both sides, it was great to see two fandoms come together and enjoy the music
I wish Adam the best of luck in the future and I'll stick around during the afterglow although probably not as large a presence.....and hopefully I'll get a chance to come back around more full time during the US tour
I'll still try to come around and check the Queen thread or if people wanted to PM me...but I don't see myself getting caught up in the Adam news threads too often (...I probably will read them now and again though
)
