I am a permanent lurker here. First of all, thanks to all you, guys, for all goodies that you are bringing here. Such a joyful and happy place! Izod was my second concert. The first one was MSG and my DH was with me. It would probably be appropriate here to describe our endless arguments about Adam Lambert, his voice, music and playing with Queen but I won't because it's different story for another time. But to make the story short I'd like to mention how my DH was happy at the concert and cheering and singing and having such a great time! Only this fact made me very happy, because he is not an Adam fan. Even though he liked him a lot in Idol, after American Idol has finished, he became very cool. His words "Lambert's music is not my cop of tee." I am the only person in the family who is total cuckoo about Adam and would buy everything, even if Adam decides to release a phone book.  My 2 sons politely refused to go with us and that was some kind of disappointment . But some day they will understand - I know.... And the reason for this assurance that their mother has extraordinary taste in music and in singers  . From the very beginning I thought that MSG would be tough to top. I was definitely wrong. Also I thought it will be enough. O, how I was wrong! It is never enough! EVER!!! So, I got the occasion: my mom's birthday. The decision was made I got the tickets and now I am so happy that I did it. Seeing my mom having literally a time of her life, she is 81, was absolutely priceless! And you know she totally got it. She told me that Adam's vocals are Opera worthy for her it's the highest complement. She is classical music freak. And also she made a very good point: because of Adam, timeless Queen music got the new young fresh vibe! Mom I love you - you totally, totally got it! My impression of the concert - the best that I witnessed. He was FIERCE! "Somebody To Love" - I couldn't breeze! And unexpectedly "Tie My Mother Down" became the favorite. The moment when Brian and Adam started challenge each other - Adam vocally and Brian with his guitar - This moment, o, this moment!! "Is this a real life, or is this just FANTASY?" The only complain - the concert is too short! Some girls behind us were shouting "We want more!" Can not agree more! WE NEED MORE! PS. It was such a pleasure to meet Hoppers and Happycat at MSG. Also saw Michael Slezak in Izod Center. He was with his mom and nephew. He told me for him it was the first concert and he was expecting a lot. But I did not see any comments coming from him yet. O, well, we are patient..... So awesome to meet you too bb !! Glad that your husband had a great time. I remember before the show he was still rather dubious! So glad everything went wonderfully with your mom, and how cool that you talked with Slezak!! Such fun. Hope to run into you again soon.  |

You got a great idea about our husbands! Only one little teeny tiny thing: we have to persuade Adam, Brian and Roger to prolong their tour! Any objections?!  |

Bringing over from main thread. Some of the pics already been posted. Link to Thilo Rahn's pictures from the last six shows on his facebook page. This is the German fellow that some of you met in London. Lots of good shots. www.facebook.com/thilo.rahn.9/photosHis review of last night's show: www.facebook.com/thilo.rahn.9?hc_location=timelineThilo RahnQuick notes on tonights QAL gig: The curtain did not go up, but stucked hanging in the middle of the stage. Had to be brought off stage manually. Took a long time. Roger missed the beginning of Another one bites the dust. Some seconds sth. like silence, only Rufus did some clicking... There was a very low fuzzy noise on the sound system first half of show. Was gone after Pete changed an AC30 (or so) during Brians solo... Rufus again left out breaks in TYMD-chorus. But in the last chorus he tried to play it with the consequence that the band played confusing things and the longest guitar solo, I have ever heard. Crowd was poor, in some moments almost sleeping. Band was great and in a good mood. Sound was nearly perfect, where we stand. Voices sounded much better, less harshness, more bass and bass drum. Today no strange effects on Brians solo voice. I like it much better, when its natural and not through a flanger/chorus effect...thanks mixing guy! I cannot say anything negative about Adam Lambert. He rocks, He has a great voice. He hits every note. He is absolutely over the top. He can handle the audiences very easy. He gives the energy to the shows. Sorry Gavin Ross, but that is what I definitely learnt the last 6 gigs... Again: Brians guitar sound is the best sound on earth...I want to hear more of that! To me it was one of the best shows of the 6 I attended. Perhaps I will write a review of my tour tommorrow...will see what I can remember and what will be in my head after a (short) sleep and drive to the airport... Thank you to all participators! |
