It's kind of sad to come on here this morning, after experiencing that wonderful show last night and read many comments.
Really, the sound was perfect AT the venue! I could hear everyone! It may be the best sound mix I've seen at an Adam concert, besides Foxwoods! The Vajays are awesome and do nothing but add to the show. Adam loves them, he loves interacting with them. It is obvious this band loves each other and the audience! Their joy of working together carries over to the audience and the audience was NUTSO for them!!
I'm going to go watch coz2mwiz's videos now and relive the wonderful night I had. BTW, her's seem to have the best sound so far.
Oh, one more thing, lynne and I both commented that Adam was "different." There was a level of confidence I have never seen before. Hard to describe, but this post on one of the videos says it well.
I'm noticing a sophistication in Adam's delivery now that was perhaps mere eagerness before. These three opening numbers showcase not only his talent, but also his personality / showmanship . . . confidence without cockiness. He has always been great, but Adam's upping the bar even for himself. [/size] Sorry to spam. But I haven't been posting much lately so I'm making up for it. I wanted to bring over mys*&@^#r's wonderfully joyful post that describes what it was like to actually BE there!
Btw - I saw that confidence without cockiness at Wilkes Barre too, so I think this was emerging even before Queen. It will continue to build! |

You read my mind -- I was about to post the same thing!  I was at the concert last night, and the sound was actually really good. I realize that the quality of the sound can vary a bit depending on where you are sitting in a venue, but from my vantage point, it was good. The sound mix also worked -- Adam's voice was in the forefront, not drowned out by the band or the back-up singers. So, I have to agree with Hoppers -- at the end of the day, the best way to capture sound at a concert is with professional recording equipment, not with the crappy little audio recorders in a camera or a phone. A few more concert observations: - Adam was his usual happy, bouncy self. Really seemed to feed off the energy of the crowd, who loved him. (And yes, there was a lot of bouncing and jumping, with Adam leading the charge.  - My partner, who loves Adam (but is not a stan), thought the concert, and especially Adam, was great. We last saw Adam during the GNT, and his comment was: "Wow, Adam is even better than the last time we saw him!" We were both gobsmacked. I've got to say that recordings don't capture the full beauty and power of Adam's voice. - I saw Lee Cherry prowling around the stage, camera in hand, so we should (I hope!) see some great concert photos at some point. Finally, my partner and I had a great time chatting with the folks sitting around us. However, because we were so busy talking (mainly about Adam), I didn't get their names. : Just wanted to say Adam fans are a lovely bunch, and I hope I get to meet more peeps tomorrow at FS. Thanks for the recap. So glad to read the part I bolded cause on video, the performance sure didn't look tired or phoned in to me. He looked happy and energetic and sexy and gorgeous as usual. ahh.

I simply like watching the videos to see the dance moves, what he and the band are wearing, check out the crowd, watch the antics, catch the banter, see if he's singing anything new....... I would never think to critique any performance on their quality. I'm glad we have them and I FULLY appreciate anyone sacrificing their own concert experience to bring us joy but we all know the sound and overall quality is sub par. All of our favorite video gifters do a GREAT job and, of course, most are very good for what they are but to judge Adam's performance based on the videos is unfair. JMO. just got in from the stables and what is going on today?? I need that huggy cat/post gif for this post. |

Do you think Riffy would be able to watch the whole concert? He is so tiny. Make sure they nap ahead of time, and verify they have good hearing protection.  Doesn't work for a super late-night GA standing only show, but when there's seats and a family-friendly fair audience...go for it!! BTW, if anyone is looking to purchase concert hearing protection for their kids, this is a pretty good site: site.earplugstore.com/child-ear-muff-comparison-chart.htmlMost little kids I've dealt with don't like the disposable foam plugs as it takes a while for them to expand properly in the ear and they "tickle". I've also just used industrial-grade ear muffs for my daughter (in fact, the pair with the ribbons she wore at Freshtival I just grabbed from my lab on the way to the concert), but they tend to be heavy-ish and usually designed for men's head sizes. A "kids" pair can be a good investment, particularly since they can be worn even at the grade-school level. (Admittedly, the "cool-ness" factor then kicks in, but kids that age can then switch to plugs). Call me over safety-conscious, but I wouldn't let a child go to a pop/rock concert without insisting on some form of hearing protection. They're just too damn loud, and ears have to last for a lifetime. |
