Another fan's review..... (also posted on the IZOD concert thread) discorodeo.wordpress.com/2014/07/24/concert-review-2-queen-adam-lambert-izod-center-72314/Concert Review 2 – Queen + Adam Lambert Izod Center 7/23/14Posted on July 24, 2014Excerpt: At MSG, I sat on the side on the second tier. At Izod, I sat on the first tier, only a few rows up from the floor and faced the stage. We got the full effect of the light show, plus a clear view of the giant Q. And a straight-on shot of the couch. This changed everything. I felt almost as though I was at a different show. I’ve never had such good tickets before. It also helped that the energy of the people around me was so different. Not just the ladies on one side of me, but also the Queen fan on the other side, who sang along with every song. Plus they STOOD and they danced and they shouted. I’m still hoarse. Which makes me very happy. ..... The sing-a-long after “Tie Your Mother Down” is Adam’s chance to play with his voice, as well as the audience. He plays around during Killer Queen and Crazy Little Thing Called Love, he performs some amazing acrobatics during “Somebody to Love”, and gets in some riffs at the end of “We Are the Champions,” but the sing-a-long is pure fun for him, as he jokes around with the audience about “advanced class” and gets us to try to follow him. It’s the one place he can do whatever he wants to do, and it’s something he needs, I think. It’s also silly and funny, and fun for the audience, but that’s part of it. Because even with perfect control, such that his voice does what he wants to do, he has something of that chaos in him, the chaos that IS rock and roll. He’s not a theater kid acting the part of a rock star on a competition show anymore. He IS a rock star now and it’s as much part of him as playing Fiyero ever was. Read more... |

 I'm putting the review in last nights concert thread, also. EM.ES @sroczka79 5mJai Rodriguez @jairodriguez eddietrunk.com/724-ted-nugent-queen-night-ranger-podcast-sacramento-this-weekend-more/ … NOT BAD TBH7/24: TED NUGENT, QUEEN, NIGHT RANGER PODCAST, SACRAMENTO THIS WEEKEND, MOREby Eddie TrunkCaught Queen with Adam Lambert last night in NJ. Pretty remarkable that for the most part Queen are filling arenas (sold out MSG and The Forum in LA) with no opening act against all the competition out there this Summer. Speaks to the power and timelessness of their music. I have seen the band with Freddie, Paul Rodgers and now Adam Lambert. Stating the obvious, nobody is Freddie. But I liked Paul very much in the gig and Lambert was totally different, but also very strong. Lambert is way more flamboyant and really gets into the Freddie pageantry of the frontman role. His voice is pretty remarkable and he was clearly moved to be able to sing Freddie’s songs (as he stated) and play in a band that was important to him and so many around the globe. Queen are MASSIVE outside of the US. Here they are an arena act, everywhere else stadiums. As a matter of fact they recently did a gig in front of 500,000! Queen in 2014 is more a celebration of the music and a tribute to Freddie. L ambert is very much his own guy in the role, careful not to impersonate (no half mic stand or similar clothes, etc), but also very much about doing the material as close to Mercury as possible. Different from Rodgers who put more of a bluesy spin on it. I interviewed Brian May before the show and he told me they wanted to get back to being a little heavier and more classic Queen. The show had a little bit of a too long middle of ballads and solos, but with the two key guys being in their mid 60′s, and playing over two hours, it gave others a break. Highlights for me were “Now I’m Here”, “Stone Cold Crazy”, “Fat Bottom Girls”, and many others. Just amazing songs! Brian is one of a kind in his playing and sound and Roger sings and plays very well, especially for his age. He had an assist from his son at a few points in the show as well. Brian told me he is unsure how long he and Roger can keep doing it and where it goes from here, but loves Adam and said he thinks Freddie would have also. The demand is there for more shows and maybe even an album but seems nothing is set yet. Had a great hang after with Roger and Brian and they are just class gentlemen as well as rock icons. You will hear the complete Brian May interview in my podcast very soon as well as clips of it in both radio shows. In the short time I had with him we got into some great stuff. Considering the heavy metal background of Eddie Truck, I would put this one in the High Praise category. |

Terribly behind on all the threads, so forgive me, if this has made it here already, but I did not see it today - yup, one of the very few manageable thread, Thank You! - and sorry, if I missed it in one of the much longer ones, but this is 'mandatory' watching for all guitar geeks and at least a major schooling for those of us (like me), who consider themselves guitar beginners. Major geek speak going on there, so fair warning. I don't understand half of it, especially all the electronic stuff.
