Happy Sunday!!
7.7.13 by Q3

I started to put together today’s news – and discovered there was no big news. At first I was a bit disappointed and then I realized that it was the perfect day to stop and look back over the whirlwind of the past couple of weeks. (OK I'm done with that!)


I guess I could get ready for the next concert – Paso Robles, CA. California Mid State Fair on July 19th!  I am certain that Adam is busy working on A3, so I thought I would plan the Paso Robles concert for him.

For starters – just the band is needed. It works really well that way.

Attire and style – I will leave that to Adam but just one suggestion, perhaps, well I do not mean to push about something so personal, but well, perhaps, just perhaps you could lose that mustache?

Meet & Greets – there will be 2 minutes allocated for each fan. (The California legislature is working on the law right now!)

Security Policy – The event staff will occasionally ask fans to stop waving their arms in front of the videographers.

Sound and Lighting will be perfect.

Now for the most important item – the setlist.


Perhaps, I should dust off my crystal ball -- the ball of dreams and travel into the future to find out what he performed.



Here is the setlist from Paso Robles. It was all I was allowed to bring back!! We will have to wait a bit for photos and video.

1. If I Had You
2. Naked Love
3. Cuckoo
4. Never Close Our Eyes
5. Pop That Lock
6. Chokehold
7. Broken English
8. Shout (Tears for Fears cover)
9. Whataya Want From Me
10. Outlaws of Love
11. Is This Love (Bob Marley & The Wailers cover)
12. One Drop (Bob Marley & The Wailers cover)
13. Kickin' In
14. Fever
15. For Your Entertainment (Funky arrangement with even more funk that San Diego)
16. Dragon Attack/We Will Rock You (Queen covers)
17. Shady/Band Intro

The stage goes dark and the band quietly leave the stage. Fans are surprised to hear Adam singing.
18. The Show Must Go On (acapella, Queen cover)

Encore:
19. Trespassing
Adam: “How about some classic rock?”
20. Sunshine of My Love (Cream cover)
21. Purple Haze (jimi Hendrix cover)/Are You Gonna Go My Way (Lenny Kravitz cover)
22. Black Dog (led Zeppelin cover)

Encore #2:

Adam and the band stay late and take requests!!
23. Can’t Let You Go
24. Pick U Up
25. Runnin’
26. Nirvana

Moments later, the glambulances started to arrive and cart off several exhausted fans.
27. Enter Sandman (Metallica cover)
28. Music Again (a new hard rock version)

An unprecedented total of 28 songs!! Fans are happy, sweaty and completely danced out as everyone leaves the venue. Some fans are not sure what actually happened.


Adam performed a fairly obscure Bob Marley and the Wailers song, so in case you do not know it, here is "One Drop".



One Drop

Oo-oo-ooh, yea-ah. Wo-yoy! Wo-yoy! Wo-yoy! Wo-yoy-yoy-yoy!
Feel it in the one drop;
And we'll still find time to rap;
We're makin' the one stop,
The generation gap;
Now feel this drumbeat
As it beats within,
Playin' a riddim,
Resisting against the system, ooh-wee!

I know Jah's never let us down;
Pull your rights from wrong
(I know Jah would never let us down)
Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!
They made their world so hard (so hard):
Every day we got to keep on fighting (fighting);
They made their world so hard (so hard):
Every day the people are dyin' (dying), yeah!
(It dread, dread) For hunger (dread, dread) and starvation
(dread, dread, dread, dread),
Lamentation (dread dread),
But read it in Revelation (dread, dread, dread, dread):
You'll find your redemption
And then you give us the teachings of His Majesty,
For we no want no devil philosophy;
A you fe give us the teachings of His Majesty,
A we no want no devil philosophy:

Feel it in the one drop;
And we still find time to rap;
We're making the one stop,
And we filling the gap:
So feel this drumbeat
As it beats within
Playing a riddim, uh!
Fighting against ism and skism,

Singing: I know Jah's never let us down;
Pull your rights from wrong:
I know Jah's never let us down.
Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!
They made their world so hard
Every day (we got to keep on fighting), every day;
They made their world so hard
Every day (the people are dying), eh!
(dread, dread, it dread, dread) Oh, whoa! Make dem a-go on so:
(dread, dread, it dread on dread) Ah, whoa!
(dread, dread) I'll walk (it dread, dread)
Ah, whoa! Frighten dem, ah whoa!
(dread, dread) Ah, whoa! Frighten dem, eh!
Give us the teachings of His Majesty - with a stick-up!
We no want no devil philosophy. Can you hear?
Give us the teachings of His Majesty,
For we no want no devil philosophy.

We feel it in the one drop; you're lucky!
For we still got time to rap,
And we're making the one stop
Let me tell ya: this generation gap.
So feel this drumbeat;
I tell you what: it's beating within
Feel you heart playing a riddim - /fadeout/

[And you know it's resisting against ism and skism,
Singing: I know Jah would never let us down.]


This is also a good occasion to post this video…which features a short bit of Adam starting around 1:25. Just enough to make me really want to hear him sing this song!

Adam LambertKeine Hochzeit geplant


© CoverMedia

Sänger Adam Lambert hat nicht vor, in der nächsten Zeit vor den Traualtar zu treten.

Adam Lambert (31) ist Single und kann damit vom neuen Gesetz zur gleichgeschlechtlichen Ehe vorerst nicht profitieren.

Viele gleichgeschlechtliche Paare gaben sich in der letzten Woche das Ja-Wort, seit der Oberste Gerichtshof in Kalifornien die Homo-Ehe legalisierte. Doch der amerikanische Sänger ('If I Had You') habe nicht vor, in den nächsten Monaten vor den Traualtar zu schreiten. "Es ist fabelhaft!", erklärte er im Interview mit 'Radar Online' bezüglich des neuen Gesetzes. "Aber ich bin Single, deshalb werden in nächster Zukunft nicht die Hochzeitsglocken für mich läuten!"

Zu Beginn des Jahres trennte sich der Zweitplatzierte der 8. Staffel von 'American Idol' von seinem finnischen Unternehmerfreund Sauli Koskinen. Seit dem Liebesaus konzentriert sich Lambert auf die Unterstützung wohltätiger Organisationen. Unlängst gab er ein Konzert für das Trevor Project, eine Stiftung, die sich auf Krisenintervention und Selbstmordprävention für die lesbische, schwule und transgender Gemeinschaft konzentriert. "Ich glaube daran, den Promi-Status für wichtige Angelegenheiten einzusetzen."

Lambert soll zu den früheren Kandidaten zählen, die momentan mit American Idol verhandeln, um in der Talentshow als Jurymitglied aufzutreten. Mariah Carey (43, 'Without You'), Nicki Minaj (30, 'Starships') und Randy Jackson (57, 'Faithfully') kehren auch in der nächsten Staffel wieder zurück. Der Country-Sänger Keith Urban (45, 'For You') hingegen verlässt die Sendung.

Es ist bekannt, dass der Fernsehsender die Show, die bereits seit 2002 läuft, neu aufpolieren möchte. Neben Adam Lambert sind noch viele andere große Namen, wie Jennifer Hudson (31, 'Spotlight') und Kelly Clarkson (31, 'Stronger') im Gespräch für die Besetzung der Jury in der kommende Staffel.

Singer Adam Lambert doesn’t plan to get married in the next time!

Adam Lambert (31) is single and so he doesn’t profit from the new law to same-sex marriage at the moment.

Many same-sex couples got married in the last week after the Supreme Court legalized the same-sex marriage. But the American singer (“If I had you”) doesn’t plan to get married in the next months. “It’s fabulous!” he told “Radar Online” in an interview about the law. “But I’m single and so there will be no wedding bells ringing for me in the near future!”

At the beginning of the year the runner-up of the 8th season of American Idol split up with his Finnish boyfriend Sauli Koskinen. Since their divorce Lambert concentrates on supporting several charity organizations. He just gave a concert for the “Trevor Project”, a foundation for crisis intervention and suicide prevention for the lesbian, gay and transgender community.” I believe in using my celebrity status for important matters.”

Lambert is supposed to be one of the former candidates, who negotiates with American Idol at the moment to become one of the judges of the talent-show. Mariah Carey (43, “Without you”), Nicki Minaj (30, “Starships”) and Randy Jackson (57, “Faithfully”) will also return in the next season. Only the country singer Keith Urban (45, “For you”) is leaving the show.

It is known that the TV station wants to revamp the show, that is already on since 2002. Besides Adam Lambert there are several other big names being discussed for the cast for the jury of the coming season, like Jennifer Hudson (31, “Spotlight”) and Kelly Clarkson (31, “Stronger”).
