7.23.14 Q+AL CONCERT THREAD -- East Rutherford, NJ USA

You can see the twirling in the video I just posted @1:47.

Listening to the videos from Jersey, Adam's voice very possibly sounded the best I have ever heard it in concert. It is more than a few flashy, high glory notes (which were jaw-dropping as usual). His voice had such richness, warmth, grounded-ness, and confidence. He was in such total control of his instrument. He oozed total mastery.

Several days ago we had a discussion about whether Adam's voice cracked during WWTLF. It was on the first night he did not sing TSMGO. We never did determine what that bobble was: sound system, voice, or distortion. I realized that it stood out to me because Adam's singing is generally so flawless that any tiny thing is noticeable to me. I thought about Brian's playing, and had to admit that in just about every show I would hear a bum note or two. Fingers placed at the wrong fret, or fumbling for a note. It didn't detract at all. That is part of a live performance. ANY player will have those occasional misses. They are humans not machines.

The same is true for any singer. Except, sometimes Adam Lambert. He DOES sometimes go thru an entire concert without one note off pitch, bobbled, missed or lacking quality. That level of quality, consistency and control is astounding.

It was all there in the videos I have seen from Jersey. And the man is not just standing at the mic, singing. He is dancing, interacting with the band, playing with the audience, interpreting the song, being a sexy gawd or a nerdy little kid. Watching those videos today, I am in complete awe, all over again.

Well if that was before the show, it worked!  Maybe that is his secret?  Every little niggle and hot spot taken care of before he goes on?

Want to add this:

cannot even begin to tell you (embarrassed, really, to tally them) the number of hours of pure unadulterated pleasure all the videos and pictures have given me. I would have missed so much if not for all you who so generously provide them for us all.

SOOOO much appreciated. Words fail, just know there is a really grateful audience out here for all your work and sharing. I know you know what it means to get to see these shows. Thank you.
