I think the leopard suit was Givenchy. But what do I know. Gelly probably knows each item including jewelry and shoes! Oh, yes, I knew that!! I am still not coherent yet! (Edited my post to give proper credit to the suit designer.)The studded leather jacket that he wore for the opening was from Versace -- Adam thanked them on Twitter. So you were partially right. Other than the Givenchy Franco leopard suit, it looks like he re-purposed the other items from his closet (which is probably the size of a warehouse by now). On another note, I missed all the excitement last night, so I have been working my way through the concert thread. Thanks so much to everyone who posted videos, tweets, recaps, etc. Such a treat! And what a fantastic concert -- Queen and Adam really delivered. But I guess that really wasn't a surprise.

You know, another magic thing about Adam Fucking Lambert: In my five year post retirement career as an Adam Lambert devotee, I have seen so few pictures that capture him in an awkward moment that I could probably count them on one hand. This boy has an innate grace, an innate movement capability, a body that is so well put together, a physicality that defies the laws of the universe. Just look at all the pictures from the concert. He can pelvic thrust, head nod, lie upside down on a sofa, move to the music, emote to the music, stank face, sing into a non-functioning microphone, and it seems he is never caught in an unfortunate moment. I know there have been a few over the years, but the ratio of awkwardness for any other being's pictures and the pictures we see of him (and you know we see as many as humanly possible) is SO skewed. Unfair, is what it is. We are lucky fans indeed. Not to mention that he can walk down stairs without looking at them. Yeah, but there's always Col Sanders meets Grammy Red Carpet to remind us that everyone makes mistakes.... Lol

Yes, Adam definitely moves well on stage -- thanks to all that theater experience and the training in movement and dance that he got along the way. I think that's also why he looks so comfortable on stage and has such a tremendous presence. He's been performing since the age of 10, so he has lots of preparation and experience to draw upon.

It's NOT Givenchy! The pattern is different. Also from the stylist:
Jen Rade @stylistjenrade 14 t
Love it & the suit is @afrancodesigns! @alalwayz: @stylistjenrade Terrific job, Adam looked amazing tonight & glad you liked my crown pic!!
I assume 'crown pic' means leopard suit and I think it was the only outfit that she would call 'suit' worn yesterday. Anthony Franco, LA designer.
ETA Givenchy might've made several leopard-like suits with different patterns, of course - but the pic that was posted was not the same as Adam has. I should think the stylist would've mentioned it if A Franco only did the sparkles.

BIG thanks to @afrancodesigns for this gorgeous leopard suit on @adamlambert for @queenwillrock tour! pic.twitter.com/dtoGc9FAL7

So, where does the drum set for the thrust come from? I couldn't see the seams for an hydraulic platform. Did the crew lift it on stage while something was going on somewhere else?

They carried the drums down the catwalk. They also carried down the couch. On the stage right side, they had Brian's two acoustic guitars and Neil's bass guitar for the acoustic set.

Okay, one more post and then I HAVE to get something done. Adam, IMO, so richly deserves this level of production and this level of a band. He can rise to it so effortlessly. And make it look easy and natural and organic. Love him.
And Mr. Brian May, that smile you gave Adam when you put the crown back on him? Melted my heart. Doesn't our boy make you proud and happy? He does that to us too.
And how about our boy being aware enough to remove the crown for the anthem? Raised right, I tell ya.
