So if I wanted to send a video of QAL to a new fan, any ideas? I'm not watching the videos until my concert next Saturday so I have no idea. My opinion - the STL toramenor suggested is the best overall performance of that song. Great banter, call and response w/the audience and a note he holds forever. Great fun! The acoustics in Vegas were great, and the videos by Talc Vids and cos2mwiz are all verrrry good. If you don't want to peek yourself, tell your friend to go to YouTube and just type in 1st las vegas or 2nd las vegas and cos' videos will pop up. And you may not hear from her for awhile...  |

Thanks, Bama. Nice to be part of the "thrustees" club. Grat seeing you, Ann, Dianne-aka-the Bama girls in Vegas.

I'm going to have lunch with an Atopper who can't go to a concert, and she'd love to see it. done and done. someone else wanted the photo and posted it on the Vegas thread, but the thread is gone! now! and I don't remember who it was.

I think looks matter quite a bit for Adam's band. Thus, Ashley, Tommy and others. Not to say they aren't good but why else would he make Tommy change to bass? Looks was part of it. But, as Tommy has stated in an interview, it was also that Tommy had a very bluesy, funky type of style which Adam really wanted. There is so much more that I could say on this topic because I think there are a number of things that are not being considered in the equation. But right now it is a choice between spending time writing and spending time working on the QAL audio recordings. So, maybe I'll write something in a few days, but right now, it is audio processing time. |

Just spent 15 hours on this little project  I have made an mp4 of my video from Las Vegas #1. It's the complete show, shot from front row of the balcony. I decided to just frame the stage, so you won't see up close zooming. There are 2 minor glitches. During STL, the recording time ran out so there is a stop/start and in WWTLF I missed the beginning changing to a new battery. All I did was run a conversion to make the size more managable, down to 2.9 GB's from 11GB's. DancyGeorgia has all my raw files so eventually we may see a really nice edit but in the meantime if you are interested you can watch this. www.mediafire.com/?kzdbuvg1zzz0qsoLet me know what you think. Hopefully this is the correct link ETA, I have watched it on my computer but haven't moved it to my iPad yet |

I posted this one on facebook because it has Adam interaction with the whole band plus Adam banter so I figure they get everything. |

Added the Curtain up/down on the concerts I could remember, hoping you all fill in on others and make notes on Houston if we get a live stream or twitter comments. Calgary "have some soul" comment during call and response Boob flasher Dr. Bri head on Adam shoulder during bow Brian May quote “Ladies and Gentlemen….seriously…one of the best rock and roll singers in the world!” Just remembered something unique re Calgary. Brian and Roger ( and maybe the other band members)...were "White Hatted" and Brian/Roger wore the white cowboy hats while performing (start of the band's introductions on the thrust 42:00) and got the crowd Yahoo'in.... in cowboy country. www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3TtdRce9WA#t=2535A little history: "The White Hat Ceremony is a long-standing tradition in Calgary, a symbol of the Western hospitality and good cheer we like to share with visiting guests."
"It is a tradition in Calgary to honor dignitaries and special guests with a special White Hat Ceremony. The honoree is presented with a white hat, asked to raise their right hand, and make the following pledge:
"I, (speaker inserts his or her name), havin' visited the only genuine Western city in Canada, namely Calgary, and havin' been duly treated to exceptional amounts of heart-warmin', hand-shakin', tongue-loosenin', back-slappin', neighbor-lovin' Western spirit, do solemnly promise to spread this here brand of hospitality to all folks and critters who cross my trail hereafter. On the count of three, we will all raise our hats and give a loud 'Yahoo!'"
The white Smithbilt hat has been bestowed on numerous celebrities and dignitaries on their visits to our city since the 1950s, when Calgary's Mayor, Don MacKay, started the tradition.
MacKay was inspired by the white hat after traveling to Toronto with 250 excited Calgary fans to see the Stampeders compete in the 1948 Grey Cup (the Canadian Football League championship game). The exuberant group sported white cowboy hats, which soon became a hit with easterners, and presented a hat to Toronto's mayor as a way of saying 'thanks' for the city's hospitality. Years later, when he was mayor of Calgary, MacKay began distributing them to visiting dignitaries."
