This chart is not accurate but based on this about 90% of NA concert tickets are sold out. *** Essentially sold out 8 shows: Chicago, San Jose, 2 Las Vegas, New York (1 ticket on map), Mohegan Sun #1, Toronto #1, Montreal Over 95% sold, would be reported as sold out 2 shows: LA Forum (99% sold), Auburn Hills (excluding the new blocks of side tickets just added, some Diamond VIPs here) <so that is 10 shows sold out so far>Limited to singles, Diamond VIP, Fan Pack upper lever: Mohegan Sun #2 Sold deeply, mostly upper level: Dallas Sold deeply, no way to estimate how many sold: Philadelphia (finally!! singles and upper level), Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton <looks like Dallas, Philadelphia and Vancouver will be sold out, not sure about MS #2, Calgary and Edmonton>Selling well, some VIP, limited 1st level, lots of upper level: Toronto #2. Lots of seats available, no way to estimate how many: Houston, Boston, Winnipeg, Saskatoon Lost of seats available: Atlantic City (it is 1 hour and 10 minutes from Philadelphia, so now that the good seats are all gone in Philadelphia, this is selling. I think this venue will sell out.), IZOD (lots available, this will eventually sell out, between MSG and Philly) In the end this will be a "sold out tour".I am going to Montreal and I keep checking for better seats. I am always able to pull up tickets to buy so I am curious as to why it is considered sold out. Because I messed up and should have put it with The Forum. |

Oh, The Forum is way more sold out than Montreal. I just checked. Montreal seems to have quite a few tickets left. The Forum has about only 250 tickets left.

I do not believe Adam is doing Queen for "the money" but I am sure that makes it betterer. I believe Queen + Adam is an incredible opportunity for Adam. One he could never and should never have turned down. I believe A3 will be released this year. And I agree with SophieB it will either be a hit or not. I believe Adam has a long, long career ahead of him and that QAL and A3 will not be the end or even the peak. I believe Adam will do some things we cannot even imagine yet. Cassie, correct me if I am wrong, but I believe Adam's voice is likely to get better over the next 3 to 5 years and, with the care he takes with his voice and his vocal training, I expect him to be like Perry Como he will be singing when he is 70. You are correct. Male voices tend to continue to develop until about age 35 or so. And they get better with practice and use, provided they are being used with correct technique. As long as Adam is smart about his voice, he should continue to grow vocally with age and experience. The singer in me looks at the dates for the tour and worries a bit when I see 4 days in a row of concerts. I know that Adam did a 120 concert tour without missing one date with GNT. However, Queen music is more demanding to sing, and the concerts will be longer. I am hoping that Adam, Brian and Roger will be cautious in designing the set list to give Adam's voice rests throughout the concert. I would love it if Adam brought a voice coach along with him to keep an eye on everything and make sure he warms up well and avoids overuse. But, of course, Adam knows better than anyone what his voice needs and how to take care of it. I tell myself he is a 32 year old man, a seasoned performer, and I shouldn't worry. But, we all worry about something with our BB, right? |

Will have to drag out my fan club membership I guess. Either that or wait til they go on sale for General Public. Will be a hot ticket I think.... Nah, don't wait. The presales gave good seats and it was *much* less stressful once I had tix in hand (knowing even if it hadn't worked out I could use general sale as backup). Ah good tip also have potential connection who might be able to reserve some tix for me in general sale so one way or another... |

Perry Como? You bet! Or Danny Kaye. My dad's name was Perry. Brother's name is Perry. Grandfather's middle name was Perry. So, I'm addicted to Perry!
I honestly can't hear any difference in Adam's voice from Idol to now; except for a richer lower range. Can someone tell me what I'm missing? Breath control? Notes higher than those in Zodiac? A clearer voice than 'Come to Me Bend to Me'? I find myself preferring some of the 'first renditions' of many performances. I've been a vocalist all my life; and I understand the value in caring for the instrument in your throat. Adam is so aware of this. Without any knowledge of whether Adam still is receiving vocal instruction, I feel sure he is exercising and experimenting; but also caring for his voice. For a tenor or soprano, head voice is freeing; uninhibited and effortless. Keep that voice in chest or throat and you can feel the exertion and strain. You can hear it in Adele, and others. IMO, Julie Andrews ruined her instrument; abandoning her free, lyrical head voice for the straining throaty notes in 'Victor/Victoria". A head voice will fail when pushed in lower registers. Adam knows this. He feels his voice; he knows when to stop.
The voice is all I care about. It is what captured me. I don't worry about A3. I don't worry about fame.
Adam is beyond all who have come before. He will be the signpost, the lexicon, for all who will follow.
I just know it. I believe it.
There is nothing but joy! We should all be wearing cherry trees! Our celebration must be for this man, this sexy beast, who lives so honestly, so plainly - revealing himself to be nothing more than the rest of us. Have you ever seen such beauty? He explains it away; righty. He genuinely looks at you and me. We are so much more than we imagine ourselves to be.
When I'm in Chicago, and he comes on the stage, once again I'll be ready to fly away. You see - he becomes so amazing in my mind, that when he walks and talks, and, oh Lord, sings - the mere mortal of him gives me wings and I am gone . . .

But, we all worry about something with our BB, right? There whole tour has no 4 days in a row -- all 2 day of concert and at least 1 day off. The confusing dates are Korea because it is a two day festival and QAL is not list on the lineup yet. www.facebook.com/SuperSonicKorea/app_321922377880728I expect they will perform on 8/14 Korea, then 8/16 and 8/17 Japan. So no 4 days in a row. |

You see - he becomes so amazing in my mind, that when he walks and talks, and, oh Lord, sings - the mere mortal of him gives me wings and I am gone . . . I said Perry because he could still sing when he was 70 and he took care of his voice. I think Adam is better vocally than in 2009 -- partly he has learned so much more, partly he is in better shape, partly he is maturing and his lower register has more support. But he was so much in command at iHR -- he had more stature, confidence. >> WWTLF in Vegas was the best vocal I ever heard live. You heard it. All the high notes are there. No sign of anything but the smooth clear tone I love in Biloxi in December. |
