Live proud and meet Adam Lambert
By Brian Teets, Legal Intern
June 12, 2014

AT&T launched its second annual “Live Proud” campaign in honor of Pride Month, and you can be apart of it."Live Proud" encourages LGBT people and allies to post to submit a meme that expresses awareness, empowerment and pride.

If you submit, you'll be in good company. 2013 GLAAD honoree, Adam Lambert joined the campaign last year and does so again this year. The person with most unique photo that demonstrates how you live proud will win a V.I.P. experience with Adam Lambert. You can find out more about the contest here. (apps.facebook.com/attlgbt/?source=ECae000000000000U&wtExtndSource=liveproud&GUID=1EB255D5-75D3-45D5-839C-A4F86FBE5A0B)

Additionally, AT&T is presenting a live Google Hangout with singer, songwriter and actor, Adam Lambert on Saturday, June 14 at 1:00 PM PDT. The Hangout will consist of questions – asked by you and Adam’s fans – about the AT&T Live Proud campaign, his highly-anticipated summer tour with Queen and other hot topics.

AT&T is joining a number of other corporations who are getting into the Pride spirit with an LGBT-focused marketing campaign. AT&T hopes the campaign and contest will send a message through social media that being proud is something to be celebrated.

Queen + Adam Lambert Tour Preview

iHeartRadio Theater Los Angeles

Monday, June 16 at 6pm PT/9pm ET


Queen + Adam Lambert to perform at iHeartRadio's Los Angeles theater!
Posted Monday, June 9th 2014 @ 9am


Queen + Adam Lambert are getting ready to head out on an epic summer tour, but first they are making a stop at iHeartRadio's theater in Los Angeles on Monday, June 16 at 6pm PT/9pm ET.

This will be Queen's first full-scale tour in six years, and the intimate show at the iHeartRadio Theater Los Angeles is sure to be one fans won't ever forget. The exclusive performance will not only feature many of the legendary rockers' biggest songs, but will be accompanied by a Q&A discussing their monumental tour, which kicks off later that week.

The best part is fans across the country will be able to catch all the action. The event will be broadcast live on-air as a 60-minute audio special on Clear Channel Classic Rock stations, and the video will be streamed online on Yahoo! Screen.

Queen + Adam Lambert rocked the crowd at the most recent iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas last September, which generated excellent reviews. In case you missed it, check out their performance below!

Talon vs. Q3! or should that be Q3 vs. Talon! 
June 14, 2014 by Q3

I have challenged Talon to a Queen + Adam Lambert North American Tour setlist face off.

Yes, Gauntlets have been thrown! Dueling pistols are polished!! The battle is upon us!

And he has foolishly accepted.

Who will reign supreme? Stay tuned and find out!!

I will post our setlists on Monday June 16, 2014. We will score points just like for the Setlist Contest. We will keep a running tally during the tour. Now I am going to pick some pre-Idol Adam song not on the list because if he sings it, I will get 100 points. (Read the scoring rules and you'll seen it. Just don't tell Talon! Ummm maybe they will cover "Brigadoon".)

(I am not even sure why Talon even bothered to submit a list, he is so going to lose!!)



Yes, I am WHITE and WHITE will prevail!! (pssssst, if you have any tips, PM me 'cause I really, really want to win this one!!, Q3)

The winner will not receive a fabulous prize, like you could (details below), but the winner will be granted an special Adamtopia Title, "The Great Prognosticator". The loser could also be given a less grand title but something worthy of a setlist warrior!

2014 Queen + Adam Lambert Tour Dates

2 days to the concert preview!!!




2014 Queen + Adam Lambert Tour countdown….
6.14.14 by Q3

OMG!!! --- there are only 5 days to go!!

#5 “The Show Must Go On” (1991)
Written primarily by Brian May, credited to Queen.
Released and as the twelfth and final track on Innuendo February 4, 1991, and as a single October 14, 1991 (UK)


"The Show Must Go On" was written primarily by Brian but all four band members contributed. The initial idea was a chord sequence Roger and John were working on. The rhythm of the refrain is similar to the Queen's 1989 song, "I Want It All". Brian decided to use the sequence, and both he and Freddie decided the theme of the lyrics and wrote the first verse together. From then on Brian finished the lyrics, completed the vocal melody and wrote the bridge, inspired by Pachelbel's Canon. Some keys and ideas were suggested by David Richards, the track and Innuendo (album) producer.


The song has a literal meaning – but it has come to mean much and be generalized beyond the sad moment it memorialized in song.

There seem to be no question that this song will be performed in the upcoming concert tour

The song chronicles the effort of Freddie to perform despite approaching the end of his life. Freddie was so ill, and could barely walk, when the band recorded the song in 1990, that Brian had concerns as to whether he was physically capable of singing it. Recalling Freddie's performance, Brian said; "he went in and killed it, completely lacerated that vocal".


Personnel

Musicians:
Freddie Mercury - lead vocals
Brian May - guitars, keyboards, backing vocals

Releases

It was released as a single in the United Kingdom on October 14, 1991 in promotion for the Greatest Hits II album, just six weeks before Freddie died. Following Mercury's death on November 24, 1991, the song re-entered the British charts and spent as many weeks in the top 75 (five) as it did upon its original release, initially reaching a peak of 16. A live version with Elton John on vocals appeared on Queen's Greatest Hits III album.

Freddie never performed this song in concert.

“The Show Must Go On” Lyrics

youtu.be/fBOvOatPqnY

The Show Must Go On

Empty spaces, what are we waiting for
Abandoned places, I guess we know the score
On and on
Does anybody know what we are looking for

Another hero another mindless crime
Behind the curtain in the pantomime
Hold the line
Does anybody want to take it anymore

The show must go on
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on

Whatever happens I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache another failed romance
On and on
Does anybody know what we are living for
I guess I'm learning
I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free

The show must go on
The show must go on, yeah
Oooh inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
Yeah oh oh oh

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly, my friends

The show must go on, yeah
The show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On with the show

I'll top the bill
I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the
On with the show

The show must go on
