His interaction with the band is just priceless! He has to be so much fun to work with! (Confession, I have a small crush on Neil! His dimples are so damn cute!) |

I have returned!!! I'm going to start recapping Chicago, I have not read a thread since Thursday so I bet it will take awhile to get through all the threads. The internet at my hotel was pitiful so I haven't seen ONE video yet O-O
Nica THANKS for the post with the pic link. Those look fabulous

If this was already posted, I missed it. Worth watching for the view of the crowd, IMO. Well that, and that little singing/guitar thing going on.

There was a point the other night when I came to understand a little more deeply what Talon meant when he said that he was saddened during (or after) Chicago's show – when he realized that he would never see Freddie and Queen perform together again. I didn't understand it when I first read his remarks but I did think about them. I’ve never felt that empathetic as I'm all about Adam and the great job he is doing as he performs with Queen. But, I've always listened to Queen and I've always been enthralled with Freddie -- just didn’t need to know everything about him -- loved him as a front man and LOVED HIS VOICE.
Now, let me interject a disclaimer here – as this post is going to go to the dogs. I relate EVERYTHING in my life to my understanding of dogs. When I was so overly stressed caring for my mother, I equated it to caring for a broken rescue and everything became “right” and I was able to carry on. So, please, understand my next thoughts are meant in a respectful tone.
I’ve been “into” dogs since ’73 and am fully involved in all aspects of having them around. They are a part of who I am. I love them dearly. Recently, I lost my boy Jameson to bone cancer. He was taken away from me suddenly and he was too young to go. I loved that boy and he was a huge part of my “pack”. The prankster, the instigator, the clown, and also the most beautiful boy I have ever shown. He was a performer. People waited for him to run around the ring. He LOVED it and would prance and pant all the way up to ringside.
Now, I don’t have him around. I love the boy I show now but he’s not Jameson. He has a spark and he loves being in the ring and he’s correct and beautiful but it’s not the same. So, each time I go to a show, I always have a moment where I sigh a little and wish a little that it could be me and Jameson again – just for a moment- let me relive that time just for a moment.
So, yesterday I was missing Jameson and I thought of Talon missing Freddie -- the thought of never seeing him perform again and the sadness and the blunt reality of it. And, I understood it in my own way. If I am lucky enough to have a great dog again, like Jameson, I will love the excitement of taking him in the ring and watching him strut his stuff and I will know that he’s a great performer as well -- just not Jameson -- and, I’ll sigh and be sad in that moment.
So, Talon, I do understand what you said the other night and I appreciate that you felt like you could share that with us.
What a perfect and beautiful analogy! |

Would be great if more people were to join at that specific moment! I wonder if we can organize, spread the word and perhaps by the Forum date - many would do it. What would be the best concert moment aside from the WATC? |

@queenwillrock: .@queenwillrock + @adamlambert ".. put on a brilliant show on their opening night of their US tour" camelclutchblog.com/queen-adam-lambert-chicago/ …I can’t praise this show enough. I have been many concerts. I have seen Aerosmith several times. I have seen KISS a ton of times. I have seen the David Lee Roth band, and G3 (Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd). I have seen RATT, Dokken, and Cinderella. I have also seen Bon Jovi three times, AC/DC, and even Tina Turner. However, I think this concert really ranks as one of the best rock concerts I have ever attended, if not the best.much more... with #LDF of course

I did get verklempt reading the RS article about Mercury. Sounds like Freddie had lots of demons. I can't imagine what it must be like for Adam, to be paying tribute to his vocal hero. Adam's voice live right now is so powerful. Maybe he just needed arenas to show it off properly. It is so elastic and he'a always revving it seems so you can't figure out its limits. I live his (rather faithful) take on the new old songs from Sheer Heart Attack.
This may be the wrong thread to ask, but is there a soundcloud, mp3 or sendspace of the Winnipeg livestream? That audio was so good. Thx.
Yikes what will we do with back to back concerts?

Didn't you love the old school guy in the beginning who had a regular lighter? Made me chuckle about the advance of technology.
