Hi all!
Back in Chicagoland, tired but happy. It is totally out of character for me to just drop everything and fly off to a concert. (Much more typical for me is to watch everyone else's stuff while THEY go on the rollercoaster.) But I like the top! For all you quiet lions out there, do not let seeing Adam and Queen live pass you by. Just go, you won't be sorry. Being with Adam fans makes everything betterer, especially the Adamtopians I met on this trip.
I was very fortunate that Q3 was able to be my "plus one". She's so knowledgeable, friendly and talks to everyone! I think the car rental guy may actually go to a Queen concert on her recommendation. She drew such interesting stories out of the fans in line at iHeart. And Sam Sparrow is very handsome in person...
The live stream was good, but truthfully, not even close to the live experience. I was on the floor, and the sound mix was excellent!
While I never took my eyes off Adam, (come on, it's Adam Lambert), I let my ear wander. Adam's voice was confident, expressive, nuanced. (Is it unusual for a big voice to be nuanced?) I loved hearing Adam's voice and Brian's guitar responding to each other. One moment I noticed Roger's high harmony...next a keyboard countermelody...then some classic rocking out.
Every time Brian did a guitar solo, the twenty-something guy behind me would gush, "Did you HEAR that? Did you SEE that?" Hear? Yes! See? No! I only had eyes for Adam.
There was one moment in the concert that Adam looked right at me, and I felt connected. There were several A-tops near me, and they felt the same way. Unfortunately, it was during "Fat-Bottomed Girls". And since I've seen these lovely ladies in real life...this song title just doesn't apply to them. Therefore, he really was looking at me! 
Anyway, I've always enjoyed other people's recaps. Here are my ramblings to add to the mix.
