OK, question, again (sorry.) What is Adam yelling as the curtain goes up in QAL. Someone the other day said "I'm a new man" but that is the next lyric. It is not what he yells. Is it "Curtain up?" or something like that? In 24 shows, I have never gotten it!  As the curtain rises he sings "I'm just a....." pause and continues after the curtain is up.... "just a new man" |

Don't miss the latest from chunkeymonkey!TheHomePlanet @thehomeplanet THE QAL TOUR: A TO Z: wp.me/p1d1wi-k88THE QAL TOUR: A TO ZThe US leg of the Queen + Adam Lambert tour has now come to a close, and even though it is all still pretty fresh in our minds, let’s take a short walk down memory lane with a brief A to Z recap of this leg of the “Once in A Lifetime” tour. Thanks to @melirose89 who assisted me with this post and all the lovely photogs, videographers and gif makers out in fandom and beyond (credited pics if I knew the source) More: www.thehomeplanet.org/2014/08/the-qal-tour-a-to-z/

Is it "Curtain up?" or something like that? In 24 shows, I have never gotten it! I spoke to the lead production person about the kabuki curtain cue and was told the cue is the word THERE.... Here I stand (echo)
Look around around around (echo)
But you won't see me (echo)
Now I'm here, (echo)
Now I'm there, (echo) The word there is the cue for the production team to pull the curtain
I'm just a... (echo) The curtain flies away during this line
Just a new man The curtain should be gone
Yes you made me live again
This did not always happen like this...LA was right. MSG, IZOD and a few others were not. (IZOD is the concert where the curtain did not release properly and had to be rolled up and dragged off the stage. MSG Adam sang the lyrics wrong and confused the crew -- I do not think the audience had a clue there was an issue. Here is IZOD which was kind of funny but Adam, Brian and the band just kept going....check it out around 1:00. Also, the audio is very clear on this one. youtu.be/KZN4Bi9sg_8 |

I loved the major curtain screw up at IZOD! It made me giggle how they had to just keep going. Made me wonder what they would do if they couldn't get the last 2 attachments off! TALC moved away from the curtain problem(which is nice for the vid,) but it lasted a bit & we could see it on the stream (or maybe it was an IG!) i WAS feeling sorry for the guys trying to get the damn thing down though!  |

I was at IZOD and it was a little scary because someone could have been seriously hurt. Thankfully the crew guys were able to save the moment. No one anticipates mistakes like this, and thankfully it was the only major mishap of the tour. |

But he is such a performance pro, handled it perfectly! Must have been a "moment" for them all though and not in a good way! |

Full Finale Concert - July 28 - Air Canada Centre, Toronto This was posted a few hours ago on YouTube. The full finale concert on July 28 at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. This is a link to the entire playlist. The videographer had some problems with security asking him to put down his camera, but he managed to capture it all! The footage is from the floor and the sound is great. I was at this show and was videoing throughout, so it's nice to relive the concert experience again (and again). I'll post this link in the Toronto concert thread too. www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNmiqSOAzcqtQylzzxPXtG4DCKJC6bhig |

MSG Adam sang the lyrics wrong and confused the crew -- I do not think the audience had a clue there was an issue. Q3--I don't want to linger on the negative, and I really don't care about the occasional fuck-up (rock'n'roll, baby), but you've mentioned this last bit a number of times. I've watched video of the MSG opening repeatedly and I have no clue what you're talking about! I'm no expert, but as far as I can tell, Adam sings the lyrics exactly as you've written them above. The echo-effect was maybe a bit aggressive in NYC, but otherwise...what am I missing? Here's the MSG opening cued to where the lyrics begin: www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=N3MrV_eGEmg#t=74 |
