Did anyone mention that in the AC concert last night, Dr. Bri missed his entrance in WWTLF! He was exchanging guitars and missed the first part of his guitar entrance. Someone tell if I am wrong about this. I think that was the concert before, but I could have them mixed up. It was early in the song. I heard Brian hit a very sour note, then immediately take off his guitar and get another one, picking up his solo after only missing a couple of measures. I wondered what the issue was. Did a string break? Did a tuning peg give out? Anyone else know? |

Wow!! Good to see you, stormchaser! It's been a long time!! [waves at you...]  And you were almost kicked out the PTA for going to an Adam concert?? WTF?  ??? How is that possible? You have to come back and tell us the story!! I hope I can get this quote post to work - I am clueless on techie stuff - but yes a true story. I live in a very conservative town maybe the most conservative in America LOL but still...I was a board member of the PTA, treasurer I think, and I missed open house to go to GNT at Symphony Hall in the ATL. Another board member missed open house too that that was not the real reason. A couple of board members thought it was inappropriate to go to that concert and wanted me at least off the board. If they kicked me off the board I would just walk anyway from PTA so really just the same as kicking me out altogether. I thought "WTF is this...Footloose...will dancing be banned next? The concert was amazing. The funny part is some other board members supported me and when I came back they wanted details and to see my pics. And I have to say those were some awesome pics from that show. I think Adam got some new fans! Things calmed down after that until my next controversy (going trick or treating with my girls dressed in a Britney Spears school girl outfit). BBL with my Adam fan testimonial and my thoughts on QAL. Time for some tequila!! Wow that type of thinking still exist???Good for you for going along with your plan...if you din't mind me asking -which part of the US do you live? |

Thaks, so much cassie. You are more than patient with this neophyte. And this neophyte appreciates the kindness! Like I keep saying, you give me a whole new dimension of appreciation for our boy.  I totally get what you are saying about the concerts, they go by soooo fast. And the other thing is that because Adam is such a great performer, and such an organic performer, each show has it's own character, it's own unique dances, interactions, emphases. Given enough money, I would definitely see each and every show. If I'm imagining money, I am also going to imagine enough that I could fly first class, don't like flying much anyway, and first class would blunt the anguish, I'm sure. Also enough money for front row seats, maybe even a few times in the on stage seats. Imagination is a nice place to live for awhile, right? I think I love you too! I could not imagine a better response to Adamconcertgate than this! Perfect. |

Right where Adam sings OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH, when love must die. You hear a guitar chord at the beginning of OH that goes flat after being struck. Shortly after you see Brian swap out guitars. |

Ooooooooooooo, yes! And Adam stops and looks back, like "What just happened?!" What does the band call that? "Living dangerously!!"

Sorry Cassie if I haven't been paying attention, but have you been to any of the concerts? You are such a great teacher in explaining all the music techniques I hope you have been able to see Adam live. It is so nice of you to say that about my teaching. I love sharing my appreciation for Adam's voice and performance style. I didn't write a recap, but I did attend the first show in Chicago. Being the first show, I had no idea what to expect. The experience was overwhelming in many ways. Like many others, I felt that I was in a daze the whole time and could barely remember it. I wanted to go back and hit "replay" a dozen times. I am not a party/dance/whoop in my seats kinda concert attendee. I am so busy trying to take in everything at once. I don't want to complicate the sensory input with my movements or voice. Later, I kinda wished I had gone a little crazy, but, then again, no. I didn't even want my own body distracting me. I wish I were financially solvent enough to have attended more than one concert. Maybe more would have sunk into my conscious mind on repeated viewings. Or, maybe not. Live, Adam just blows out all the fuses in my brain. As to highlights, first hearing Adam's voice floating over the arena on the opening of "Now I'm Here" (WHERE? WHERE ARE YOU? WTF WAS THAT HEAVENLY NOTE?) was breathtaking, as were the pure, ethereal head voice notes at the beginning of LOTG. Surreal. Hearing WWTLF live? Divine. Seeing Adam sprawl on the purple divan for the first time and seeing him come out in a leopard print suit with a crown both elicited spontaneous laughter. So, I guess I would say that my overall experience was fantastic.... and unsatisfying. Fantastic because it was an amazing show and Adam was in great form. Unsatisfying because I needed more and more and more, like a junkie given just a sample of the best drug in the world. I'm with you Cassie, I was in Chicago and can't remember anything. When I think about it, nothing comes from my memory or experience. It's all from what I've seen in video since. It's quite mind boggling that I don't picture it in my head and that doesn't happen with anything else I do! Adam just does that to me!! lol |

It's why one needs to go to 2 shows, if at all possible! Or watch vids before your show so you are "prepared!" One show just pust you in a "Glamcoma!"

Oh, I do remember one thing. When Adam came to my side of the stage and walked up those steps, I jumped out of my seat and ran right up to them. He looked down for a second and I know I had the biggest smile on my face. He was sooooo beautiful! I was also surprised security didn't make me go back but they didn't. Funny to think of that now, maybe the rest will come back too!!

cassie, thanks for your little recap. Yes I know the "daze" that I get into in Adam's presence, that's why I could never do a recap, as I don't remember any details!
Thanks everyone who did recaps, and all the generous souls who video for us! I'm in Asia, but not in Seoul or Japan, so no chance at all to see QAL.
