Rpeura........I was on the other side of the catwalk from you, close to where those guitar necks are sticking up. At one point during the show when Adam was singing at the end of the thrust and you were looking back towards it, Needacoke turned to me and said "I think that's Rpeura straight across the catwalk from us!" And it was! Sorry we didn't make it over afterward to say Hi. We were all a little dazed and confused as well. So glad you had such a glorious experience. And yes, it's been worth every penny I've spent as well. |

My Madison Square Garden recap (7/17)
I took a morning train from Philly to NYC and ended up sitting with ‘taumbu’, which turned out to be even more wonderful when we discovered that she and her spouse were in the row ahead of us at the show, and we (w/ spouses) went out for a bite to eat after the show. Let me say that my spouse tolerates my love of Adam and has gone to several shows with me, but usually one show is enough. It was good to see him offer glowing comments about the show (on his own), but more about that later.
Despite many trips to NYC I’d never been to MSG, so I had a sense of ‘refined excitement’ trying to control my obvious enthusiasm. My husband took the train up and met me in NYC. We checked in to a hotel very convenient to MSG, then headed over to MSG to take pics in front of the QAL trucks and the marquee. Finally it was time to head out to the show. Sat beside a lovely couple from Nova Scotia who came just to see Queen again (not too familiar with AL), and a woman in front of us who paid a fortune for her seat last minute, also there to see Queen. [The only downside to seats was a very drunk couple who stood to our right, yelled, and even made a phone call during WWTLF. Who does that? Choose to ignore them as best we could). They enjoyed the show, but disturbed a lot of people near them.]
My spouse (and kids) support my love of Adam. My husband has gone to a GNT show, Pittsburgh Pride, and Nile Rogers’ foundation dinner, and thinks Adam has a great voice, but not a big fan of pop. Anyway, we had fantastic seats, first tier mid-way back and you could see and feel everything. About 30 min into the show my husband says “What do Roger and Brian think about this being “the Adam show”? I took that as a sign he was enjoying it. I think he was totally awestruck at how Adam took charge and fronted such an iconic band. He was taking pics, movies, etc. I’ve NEVER seen him do this at a concert before. When the velvet couch came out, he asked ‘Have they done that before?” The production and overall show was fantastic as was the music of course. He thought Rufus was quite a good drummer. Post concert he started sending pics and ‘the show was great’ messages to friends at home, trying to get someone to take the extra ticket we had for Merriweather. (more about MPP in part 2).
Hearing Adam’s voice soar in MSG was spectacular. It was just a fantastic concert overall. The couple from Nova Scotia loved it, said it was well worth the trip. The woman in front of us also really loved the music and seeing Queen again; did not get to ask her about Adam as we lost her in the crowd. I heard only positive remarks from the audience on the way out. After the show, we met up with ‘taumbu’ and her husband for a chat/bite to eat and had a really nice time being with local New Yorkers and Adam fans. They were planning on going to IZOD a few days later, so good for my spouse to see that other fans also go to multiple shows. Not that he really cares how many shows I go to, but it is a big deal for him to be so agreeable that he was willing to see more than 1 QAL show and would happily go again. Fingers crossed for Europe….

I'm finally able to start loading some video that I took during the concert at Madison Square Garden. Life got in the way during the year and I had a backlog of video from past shows to upload. I'm a little OCD about doing that kind of thing in order, if possible. Yay for Dr. May, it's still possible to post them! Very happy for the memories.
I wanted to let rpeura know that she's visible in the videos for a few of the songs: "Killer Queen," "Under Pressure," "Love Kills" (a couple of times at the beginning for brief seconds), and "Who Wants to Live Forever." Be on the lookout for yourself! : ) I hope to have all of the videos loaded over the next couple of days and I'll post them here.
Here are the first two, "Stone Cold Crazy" and "In the Lap of the Gods/Seven Seas of Rhye/Killer Queen."
