Who could resist when Adam wants to come out and play?  |

Who else would have at least two exes in the audience? Here's Brad; still waiting for someone to post a picture of Sauli. ![]()  |

Talon, do you see any recaps/fan reviews/impressions from Queen fans who attended somewhere? I don't see anything on QOL and QZ, but there may be other places, or may be I didn't look in the right thread.... (I did see a few words from inu, but that's it). Nothing notewhile to bring over here. Queen fans are...less verbose about concert impressions  From the more neutral, open minded fans I've interacted with most are pleased overall. They feel that Bri and Rog are playing better than they did in 2012. They are split on Rufus being along. They think that Adam did an admirable job in an unenviable position with a general #FLD They love the overall production Overall they are glad they went  |

Before going to see a Broadway musical, an opera at the Met or a top tier symphony orchestra or chorus I may wonder if I will like their particular interpretations, stagings, costumes, tempos, etc. I NEVER worry whether the soloist will be able to hit the notes, whether the musicians will be tired, or whether the audience will respond. Those things are a GIVEN at that level of performance. I EXPECT consistent excellence on the stage and an audience that will recognize that and be drawn in.
Not true with watching many pop and rock shows. In fact, almost the opposite. I almost expect to be DISAPPOINTED with something. I expect to think, "Pretty good considering ......" or even "Ouch! How can I unhear that?"
With Adam and Queen I expect only the very best. They have never given anything but. So the mic didn't work at the beginning of the song. So the curtain fell instead of swooping up. So Adam omitted a glory note he sometimes adds there. So they did not do my favorite number. So the audience wasn't into the call and response. Eh! Trivial, minor glitches.
I am reminded of several times when I commented to Angelina about something outstanding that Adam had just done, and she would reply nonchalantly, "But, that's what we do!" I was coming from the perspective that what Adam was doing was so beyond what I heard other pop stars doing, it was remarkable. She was coming from the perspective that Adam is the best singer she has ever heard across any genre. She considers him a peer of the highest degree. Of course he can do that. Of course he does that. Yes, it is genius, but why would one expect anything less?
Watching Adam with Queen is simultaneously a rush, a thrill and also a deep comfort and peace. It will never be anything less than phenomenal. There will be just enough little glitches or bobbles to prove it is live and they are all most probably human. Just enough to have that edge of danger and anticipation of what just might happen that Brian relishes. It will never be "meh" or "ho-hum" or "I can take it or leave it." Certainly never "OMG! What a train wreck." How refreshing to get back to performances of that level. Why do I bother with anything else?

WOW, overwhelmed! What would it take for them to get excited!? He needs to die, maybe!:( think its time to let them expire in their own tepid juices while they eagerly anticipate an afterlife...a fun bunch

Why aren't some Queen fans happy that Rufus is there? Drumming is physically taxing, and what's wrong with a proud dad wanting to show off his son's considerable skills (and lend his energy to the show)?
Off topic, but it would be fun to see a drum-off between famous drummers' sons - Rufus vs. Jason Bonham and Zak Starkey, for example.
