random thoughts from my concert experiences (Mohegan Sun & Boston)
the boston arena, ~twice the size of the more intimate MS, was pretty much filled. I could see only a small patch of empty seats way up in the back.
boston fans anticipated the encore by clapping out the WWRY drumbeat.
I have come to love thewhale calls guitar solo, and also have a little crush on Rufus. I'm so hoping he and adam are bonding, in a musical way!
both audiences were super LOUD, on their feet and loving it. I saw tons of very young fans mixed in with the middle agers. at boston, a group of girls chanted adam's name before the concert started. a dad was teasing his daughters about how he just ran into Adam out in the corridor. at MS, there was a row of very vocal boys behind me. and the train back from boston was filled with teens w/QAL merch.
I mention this in particular because Kiss108, the local top 40 station, has been giving away tix to the Boston concert, but always accompanied by disparaging and ignorant remarks. "why do we do this...no one wants to go to a queen show" "I met adam twice and he's a really nice guy but he's very ~odd" (forget the exact infuriating term used) and "his fans are older people who watch american idol" (this from the station music director). oddly, they kept saying how they themselves actually sort of wanted to go to the concert, but like it was somehow not cool enough.
anyhow, hope they saw the reviews.
