7.22.12 Fantasy Springs #2, more news

No problem posting the link. And yes, we should vote in this one to represent Adam. But I believe the point was this is one poll that Adam has no chance of winning. There are too many people voting for Bieber, OD and Gaga.

talon wrote that Queen always videos their concerts, tho they often don't release the results. After watching the cos2mwiz vids from last night I understand why Queen does that. In live performance you never really know when some special magic will happen on stage or with the audience. FS2 was that kind of magic, never to be repeated. I am thrilled we have the fan vids that we have, but, what I would give to have that concert on DVD.

Do you agree?

Eeeeeeeee, I need to flail about this concert!!!!! This was TOTALLY different from anything I've seen before from Adam. The energy was so wild and silly and fun and ridiculous and just messy amazing goodness all around. Such a weird mix—parts of it felt polished and perfect, and other parts were just random and weird and unrehearsed, but all in a really good way. It was definitely more like a party than a concert, and he invited the whole audience to just let loose and fucking get downnnnn with him!

I feel like this was his first chance in a while to hang out with his own music and his own die-hard fans and just do his own thing. The Queen concerts were incredible and amazing of course, but he was singing other peoples' songs to crowds of mainly Queen fans. And then he had a fair concert and a radio concert, neither of which were places he could really just do whatever the fuck he wanted. Unlike last night! It felt like he put on his own comfy clothes and partied with his friends who really get him. I loved loved loved all the improv and the banter and the goofing around. I adored his audience interaction and the way he badgered the casino tribe people to get up off their asses. Total hearts in my eyes for all the love he sent out to Sauli. Loved how he wanted to wrap himself up in his fans, literally, and trotted right out into the throng to be out where we were partying.

I had a really great spot—on the Vajayjay's side, about 10 rows back on the inside aisle. There was an empty row on the other side of the aisle, but just before the concert Adam's family and friends came and sat there. Terrance and a friend of his were having the time of their lives, I swear. They were dancing and flailing as hard as any glambert and having a total ball. Sauli looked like he was having a blast and mesmerized by Adam and sending love back his way, and I must say he is amaaaaaazingly hot and good-looking up close, damn! (And also absolutely teensy tiny!)

Pretty sure the security guards would be happy to never see Adam again, lol. The ones I saw were at first bemused at the flailing audience, but once Adam started breaking all the rules, you could tell they were having a terrible time dealing with the outcome. And the crowd did become kind of out of control actually, which became a distraction, what with people jostling and pushing and refusing to back to their seats and arguing with security, etc. Personally I'd rather have just a straight-out GA crowd than something like this. So that was my only complaint from tonight. Actually, I'm quite sure Adam's favorite is to have a GA crowd, or at least a GA section. He seemed to genuinely crave the immediacy and touch and energy of fans last night, to the point where he couldn't get enough on stage and hopped down to get a bigger fix.

I've seen some speculation about whether Adam was drunk or high. LOL. I've been at shows where Adam has been under the influence of whatever (and I have no problem with that actually), and I am 100% convinced that he was sober last night, and everyone I was with agreed. His vocals were totally on the mark, and despite the loose vibe of the show, he was completely present and aware and in-tune with everything that was going on.

This concert was one of those epic, crazy, completely-unexpected, delights. Absolutely nothing like FS #1, yet I think it'll go down as legend in the same way. If the Queen concerts were high tea on fine china, this was a Roman feast reclining on silk cushions—messy and imperfect and fucking awesome!

I particularly love this part. "This concert was one of those epic, crazy, completely-unexpected, delights. Absolutely nothing like FS #1, yet I think it'll go down as legend in the same way.
