This is my review of the last night. I was in Edmonton on the 3rd row floor and it was PHENOMENAL, but Calgary was BLOODY PHENOMENAL (is that even an expression???). The two nights comprised two very different experiences. First one – surrounded by some loud hard-core male Queen fans and some of us Glamberts, a mixture that can gives you pretty biased impressions. The guy right beside me on the fourth row informed his friends that he was going to fly to Vegas to see the show again. Adam Lambert was fine. But he was there for the music. At least he did not completely ignore him. By the end of the show he was cheering so loud for Adam that I had to cover my ears. Haha...... Last night I was in a 200ish section filled with casual Queen fans and as it turned out closeted Adam fans . I had a very good friend of mine from Holland, who happened to visit Calgary this week. He bought a ticket to see them the second I told him about the show. He knows about my Adam-addiction, has seen the EMA video and “has approved” it! Queen was his childhood love! To be honest I felt so much more comfortable with him close to the rafters than on the 3rd row.... Before the show, the lady with her husband next to us, both in their late 30, asked my friend who we were there for. My friend answered Queen and she said Queen in response. Them my friend proceeded to tell her that he was there with a huge Adam fan and pointed at me. And then the lady told us she liked him on idol. Then the show started so we did not converse more. After the first song I decided to sit next to her and I and my fiend change our seats. And then the lady suddenly told me with a huge smile that she LOVED Adam on idol, but never seen him live and she thought he was the only one who could sing Queen. I told her she would not be disappointed! Ha! After AOBTD, she joined me screaming madly for him!!! So there you go, I believe this would be the typical example of a closeted Adam fan last night. And there were tons of them in the arena. Many teenage girls, too!!! One really needs to see the show from above to appreciate the grandiose Q, lighting, and of course to hear Adam’s voice in all its glory. Saddledome is notorious for its bad sound. While it is was not perfect, it was good enough to cause a massive jaw drop during STL. It was astounding!!! Many people in our section and adjacent sections jumped on their feet and cheered wildly for Adam!!!! And I could clearly see everybody in the first level was giving him a standing ovation!!! BTW, the floor people sat only during Love of my live! My friend was astounded by his voice. Adam spitting the “champagne”, as well as his shoe display on the couch and comments, cracked my friend up and many others. Maybe this is the moment I should say that Adam and the band were very loose in Edmonton, but last night they were even more! So a day-off is really important for them. You could tell band’s energy reached a new high last night. Upon hearing the excellent audio recording of Edmontons show, I thought that I could hear a bit of tiredness in Adams voice. But in Calgary his voice was glorious!!! At least, this is how I heard it. I hope we will get again the audio from the Queen fan, which I will burn on a CD and treasure forever. I need to stop at this moment because my toddler is screaming and running around. (End of part one) Ha! Adam fans coming out of their fandom closet, Queen fans & friends that approve, an astounding, bloody phenomenal, glorious show with a massive jaw drop, I think you had a great time! Please don't keep us waiting too long for part 2  |

Part 2... After I bought Calgary Sun and locked it in my treasure Adam box I am all set to continue with more impressions of the audience. There was a noticeable difference in the crowd. Edmonton audience was dominated by working class people in their 40s and 50s while Calgary audience was more diverse both socially and age wise. Many 20 and 30-year old people. Calgary was more restrained than Edmonton before the concert. But with the first accords of Now I Am Here, the crowd cheers were deafening and steadily increased throughout the night to reach sky high levels during BR and the Encore! You noticed that Canadians are careful, especially in upper sections, to not obstruct others line of sight. But let me tell you there was a lot of chair dancing around me and head bopping during Stone Cold Crazy!! And the floobert happened first time last night, ahhhh!!! The first time I and vast majority of the audience jumped on their feet was AOBTD! It was that moment when I realized people are welcoming Adam with open arms! Then FBG caused roar, sing along, and a lot of dancing! This is when many people in my section jumped when recognized the opening accords and did not sit until the last Brian’s note. So much fun live!!!! Then a small break with one of my favs since Chicago “Now I am here” so I sat and sang along. It was so magnificent from my seat! I could sense many people gasped when Adam appeared in all his golden fringe glory under the giant screen! KQ was a killer as always and very, very entertaining. And the champagne fountain is so freaking hilarious live! I already mentioned STL caused a massive jaw drop and lead to a huge response!!! Less people knew “I Want It All”, but I love it. I really, really loved it back in 2012. It is so grandiose live!
2/3 of the arena were on their feet for Dr. May welcoming him with long ovations! Same for Roger! Big cheers for each band member, too. It was a beautiful thing.... Love of My Life was so emotional. I cried during Freddie’s cameo and I am all teary now. I noticed my friend got very emotional, too. This has been his fav song together with STL and TSMGO since his childhood. The mid section was just wonderful. I enjoyed it much more than in Edmonton. Maybe it helped also that Brian, Roger and Rufus wore their cowboy hats and it felt a very special moment for everybody in the venue. The guys seemed really touched and appreciative of all the love they were getting! But I hope I never see Adam in one of those ugly hats, Lol! Then everything exploded! Underpressure was marvelous. Both I and my friend do not like too much the original version. He preferred much more Adam+Roger! YAY! I noticed the sound guys also increased the decibels so it was LOUD, especially closer to the giant speakers where I was!!!!! Stunning Love Kills and beyond belief WWTLF. Both very emotional to me; wiped some tears secretly. Huge cheers for Adam. Oh I forgot. When Dr. May told everybody that Adam is the best rock singer I jumped madly and screamed so piercing that I was afraid I caused some ear damage to the people in front of me. (Yes, that’s quite possible. I used to sing soprano and I still have some lungs although I have not sung for years). I believe with all my heart that Adam got the biggest crowd love tonight. But I also believe this love will only grow and grow until it reaches Dr. May’s cosmos! Next highlight for me and everybody else was TYMD. I do not particularly like the original song, but it is so much FUN live. So heavy! And everybody joined. Adam was soooooo happy that we got a new call-response. You could totally see the joy in his eyes on the big screens. The tits moment was so amusing!!! Only ADAM! DSMN and CLTCL were crazy good and gradually lead to the PANDEMONIUM that happened during and after BR and the encore. BR had absolutely everybody on their feet in the upper level and I believe in the first level too. I have seen some big rock acts in that arena. Nothing, absolutely nothing, compares to Queenbert and the love they got in Saddledome!!
Today I feel strangely satisfied. After Edmonton I seriously considered going to a third show, perhaps the closing night in Toronto. But since Calgary added to my QAL experience so much, I feel somehow contented and totally happy with the two shows. Maybe I am a bit afraid my perfect Calgary night may be ruined if I happen to sit with other type of crowd. I don’t know. The only thing I know for sure is that Adam has managed to do the magic again. My 40ish old blood is boiling again. And now I can return back to my boring academic routines, which I have completely abandoned since Chicago.
EPILOGUE: I asked my friend after the show “Do you get it now?” His reply was “Yes, I finally get it.” He is so great! A new born Adam fan!
