I did it guys. I joined you all in seeing more than one show. I got another front row seat in the first section above the floor just like in Houston. My luck is getting even better. Haven't told my husband yet, but I'm sure he will just laugh at my craziness. He is going with me to the Houston show but we aren't sitting together. He said that was probably best since he will be tempted to mock Adam when he gets too dramatic for his tastes.  Now I gotta tell him we are driving up to Dallas the next day!  So happy for you, I'm going to be in Houston and I'm driving to Dallas that same night for the Dallas show the next night, I can't wait!!! |

This part of the Stephen Graves / Classic Rock Magazine blog ...
Lambert’s only performing the band’s hits, goes the complaint; he’s a karaoke act. And it’s true that AC/DC plunged straight into the studio with Brian Johnson – and came out with Back in Black, one of the greatest rock albums of all time. Queen’s more cautious approach is just as valid – but if they don’t get Lambert in the studio, they risk being seen as a tribute act to their own glory days.
... brings up a topic that has occurred to me now and then while this tour came together. Does the cautious approach taken by Brian and Roger - an approach intended to honor Freddie, their dear friend and bandmate, and also intended to honor the devotion of Queen fans (and those who are Freddie fans rather than more broadly Queen fans) - in reality hold them back, keep them chained to the past? Behind the scenes are they struggling to find a way to move forward creatively? How large is their need to break free?
And doesn't being chained to the past mean that the frontmen who work with them - Paul Rodgers or Adam, for example - will always need to move on, turn their focus to their own work, even though there are fans who would like more concerts filled with Queen's songs and large video images of Freddie singing. It is a blast to work with Brian and Roger on the one hand, but no one wants to "risk being seen as a tribute act" to Queen's past.
Can Brian and Roger balance occasionally doing a large Queen tour with being more creative in smaller projects. Is that satisfying enough? Does that allow enough creativity? Do the personal projects, since they allow for the creation of new music, have a greater pull on their talents. Will this actually turn out to be the last big Queen tour? (Even if it is the last big tour there would probably be some one offs here and there, special events...)
Whatever the answers turn out to be, I am soooo grateful to be able to go to some upcoming QAL concerts. I am also excited about A3 coming out in the not-too-distant future and seeing Adam perform his new music in concert.
Just some musings-
peace&love

Hi guys, I have a favor to ask, and I hope someone can help me. Who knows where to find a good audio file of WWTLF that's been edited to remove any crowd noise - does one exist? Or can somebody recommend software I can use to edit sound files from a QAL performance (though I'm not very good at that sort of thing)? Last night my dear brother-in-law lost his ongoing battle with heart/lung disease. We would love to include Adam's version of WWTLF in Mac's memorial service, but would like to weed out background cheers, people talking, etc. Thanks! Awwww, big hug for you and yours! On the subject of WWTLF, have you thought about iHeart Vegas version? Still my favorite! |

I have thought about this too! The way the concert is arranged, comparisons to Freddie are inevitable because Freddie is still there! |

I've also been a very good girl and have not watched the videos. I want to see it all for the very first time in Houston. I have seen some pictures but I'm basically unspoiled, so far.  |

How I envy your fortitude! I would have so many things crossed off my list if I didn't watch each and every video! I think, though, that y ou will be glad because the show will absolutely blow you, a show virgin, away!

Hopefully someone can help you with that. Reaching out to you with a hug and with light. Having just been through a loss last week, I know what the family is going through. Wishing you peace and happy memories. |
