Hi all. Had to come out of lurking to say I GOT TICKETS FOR QAL MELBOURNE!!!!  Sat at work at 12pm today shut the office and as soon as the clock ticked over to 12 was in! So excited! As I have no idea how to do it could someone do me a row of can can smilies? Such great timing on 13th sept go overseas for a month so obviously meant to be.  So happy for all our aussie Atoppers!  Thank you!! I am now one of the lucky ones. Two of my friends, who are mega Queen fans are going with me - they are mild Adam fans, but I bet they will be blown away by the end of the night. What a drama. I was at work and couldn't get into the fan club presale because of a loop of doom with the password reset. So I had to call my friend at work and he got the tickets with the visa presale. I think my heart rate is just coming down. We got tickets together on the floor in C Section for Sydney. I can't believe it. OMFG. Congrats to everyone going  |

Awwww Nikki! Great news! Do you think that Adam, Brian and Roger really get what they are doing to us? Better - what they are giving to us? Can someone really believe that being on stage and performing music can mean SO MUCH to other people? I know that in a few years I'll look back to the QAL-concerts in Las Vegas and then I will feel like crying. It's the same when I look at videos from Hammersmith. Still gives me goosebumps and I get so emotional...   |

Guys, polish media are writing about list that states how much it costs to hire your favourite artist - link As you can see Adam is there as well - $85-125 k. Has someone heard about it? |

They must be using rather old numbers as we know that he has been getting $250 K in US dollars for some events. Or maybe the numbers they are using are not in US dollars? |

Don't know how 'official' this is (crappy internet access right now), but all I see is an Avicii show with happy dancing people. Nice, but not one of the interesting storytelling videos that Avicii normally makes. Edit: oh, now I see it is on the VEVO channel, so must be official. Hope he will make a 'proper' vid as well. I get the impression this single isn't pushed very hard, we'll just have to see whether it will get anywhere on its own. |

Just generic shot of Avici backstage walking, shots of him...doing whatever it is he does (not much), crowd shots of dancing audience. Really could be any song that they're bopping to. No talking, no Adam mention, just LMD playing. |

Augenpoesie - I can see the video on YouTube with no trouble - just click YouTube on the top here and it will transfer. ( sorry if you know this and have already tried it!)  Germany has special rules for watching music on youtube. We have an organization called "GEMA" (they are a legally authorized collecting society for musicians). For those interested - here's an explanation: Blocking of YouTube videos in GermanyThe blocking of YouTube videos in Germany is part of an ongoing dispute between the video sharing platform YouTube and the Gesellschaft für musikalische Aufführungs- und mechanische Vervielfältigungsrechte, or GEMA, a performance rights organisation in Germany. According to a German court in Hamburg, Google's subsidiary YouTube can be held liable for damages when it hosts copyrighted videos without the copyright holder's permission.[1] As a result, music videos for major label artists on YouTube, as well as many videos containing background music, have been unavailable in Germany since the end of March 2009 after the previous agreement had expired and negotiations for a new license agreement were stopped. So all I can do is wait for other's to upload it in a format which I can download then... 4Msrmyn and nic - so if Adam isn't in that video, what's the point watching   |
