Between Adam's songs & the covers he chooses, he covers all of the genres you mentioned. I will reiterate again, Adam's concerts on the GNT were 100% him. No duets, no long guitar or drum interludes, no solos by anyone else on that stage. All Adam! And as far as moving around & covering the stage, from what I've seen of the 7 Queen shows from 2012, there is a lot more dancing and moving in Adam's own shows solo tour. Just my opinion.  GNT was generally only an hour set. This will be closer to 2. I do think Adam can do it. He is physically more fit than he was during GNT. His voice is also stronger (who would have thought?). His lower register is sounding richer and the upper more controlled. The ting seems right now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If you're talking about "a tough gig for the vocal chords" I think all the songs from FYE that Adam sang during GNT are right up there with Queen songs. They're challenging songs for the vocal cord. That's why they have to lower the notes a bit.. but Adam being Adam.. he was still belting it out quite often during GNT. Let me ask you have QPR performed in front of 350,000 or even 20,0000 people on their tour?
Yes I agree that some of the FYE stuff is up there as far as vocally challenging, but I feel Queen's hopping from genre to genre from soft power ballad to near heavy metal is more strenuous. Not just the notes, but the sliding from style to style. Just my opinion. and for the second question, Yes, QPR actually did Kiev a few years before QAL did. QPR did it in 2008 in the exact same square and was released on DVD/CD in 2009 And that was 350,000 as well and that was without the added benefit of having Elton John on the bill as well! And yes they did tours of Japan (some gigs @ 25,000) , South America (Buenos Aires was 45,000) and other venues. So while many venues were at the 10-15,000 range some regularly popped over those numbers. Queen Concertsis a great place to learn about audience, etc. from any Queen or related gig Q+PR -- Played Kharkiv Ukraine Freedom Square, not Kiev. *** I understood the skepticism about Adam singing lead on Queen songs before the 2012 concerts but not sure what question remains at this point. He has now proved he can easily slide from genre to genre -- even on Queen songs. If we are going to get into numbers, the Q+PR tour played arena that could hold 20,000 people but used the small configuration. They are using the full arenas for this tour. There are boxscores for 15 of the North American concerts from the Q+PR tour. The average paid attendance was 6,970 and the average number of seats available for sale was 9,857. Here are three of the highest selling concert that there were Box Score for. Q+PR: The Palace Auburn Hills 10,296 / 10,296 Q+AL: The Palace Auburn Hills configured for 24,000 Q+PR: Air Canada Centre Toronto 11,279 / 11,279 Q+AL: Air Canada Centre Toronto configured for 19,800 Q+PR: Allstate Arena Rosemont. IL 7,441 / 9,500 Q+AL: United Center Chicago, IL configured for 20,500 The Q+PR tour did not have a big set, the used risers and lights and video. It was more like how they toured the use in 1974 then it was like 1978 or 1980. This tour will apparently involve a massive set, a 20 row long catwalk with spotlight performance area in the crowd. And it will have real special effect. Rumor is that it will have full environmental effect and lots of fire like the grand Queen arena tours. So while Queen + Paul Rodger played a lot of venues that had 15,000 to 20,000 seats there was not 15,000 to 20,000 people in those seats. |

He was much more active at iHR 2013 than the past shows, not quite Trespassing Level but closer. *** I wonder what would happen if he did a floor-bert with Queen. He did it twice on Idol. Also, the only had a mini-catwalk in London. This looks like it is about 4 times the length and it is angled. The only reason to do that is for Adam and Brian to use it -- an expanded version of Vegas. |

Does anyone have any ideas why they put this video out now (published today), and why the song has been reduced to 1:33 minutes? It sounds incomplete and just peters off at the end.. :| www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9V-vh3qCMgand again no mention of Nile or Adam on VEVO...or am I missing it somehow? I really looked: published on Mar 13, 2014
Buy the album on iTunes: smarturl.it/TrueAVICII
Listen to the album on Spotify: TRUE
Music video by Avicii performing Lay Me Down. (C) 2013 Avicii Music AB, under exclusive license to Universal Music ABFrankly, Tim is on my s**t list for a while now, and he ain't getting off of it any time soon it seems... Poor Nica. Have you had a bad day?  I believe that all the performers on Avicii's album signed an agreement up front that their names would not be listed as featured artists. They all knew what they were getting into. When his songs are played on the radio, just Avicii's name is announced. Is there something else that keeps him on you s**t list? |

ETA: Adam and Nile are credited as songwriters. That is how AVICII does it. But on the good side every time you play that on YT, Adam gets a small piece of a small royalty because he is a songwriter not a performer. |

The Thrust (still LOLing at that one) looks very much like the catwalk that was used during their set at the EMAs. |

Just for what it is worth. The then unheard of and non-credited Aloe Blacc has the #5 song and #4 album on itunes right now. Every time Wake Me Up is played on an radio with ID tracking his name shows up, I frequently hear the DJ's give him credit as well. He was no where near as uncredited as it would appear at first glance. His high profile right now is totally due to being on that song - credited or not he is benefiting in a major way.

How does the length of this catwalk vary? I expect Adam to fly during this tour. He has said repeatedly he wants to. I think Brian and Roger would give that to him if he wanted.

I was noticing this phenomena as well! So glad you pointed this out, graciejane. Is there any chance of this song ever being released as a single? I know it's not the same style as the songs released featuring Blacc, but it sure is a catchy tune of "disco deliciousness," as Adam called it. |
