LOL! It distracted me at first too, but then I remembered this is Korea's first Queen concert ever, let alone QAL, so I cut 'em all some slack. Watched a few of them so far, kinda neat to hear 60s Beatle-screaming for our guys. I'm with murly here, but I know it is a lost cause. I was brought up in a different performance and music culture. I was taught from around 5 years old that when at a performance/concert you MUST be quiet, listen and not do anything that might interfere with the experience of the other audience members. Certainly you NEVER sang along. That would be the height of rudeness to the audience and disrespect to the performers you came to see. The rock concert culture is completely different. I cannot expect them to change their culture for me. Sigh. (But it does not stop me from wishing it were diffferent.) Boy, I remember my fear of coughing during a symphony performance; the sound of a cough drop being unwrapped disrupting everyone in the seated section; and, horror of horrors, starting to clap at the end of a movement when I should have remained silent. Give me this amazing sing-along. Joyous, inspired, enveloping love! I can understand the tears; I'm right there with them. I cannot imagine standing in GA and keeping quiet. A rock concert and a symphony; these are two entirely different musical experiences . . . the only similarity is the beauty of the performance itself, and the excellence of the performers.

The thing about this show & the next 2 in Japan is, they are like an all GA concert! For those of you who experienced a floor "seat" during the NA tour, imagine if your venue had 15k on the floor with no sitters in the other levels! It would be just like today was in Korea, or close to it!

Just had a chance to look at the vids. Adam looks and sounds great- no weird hair color or cut AND he didn't shave his eyebrows. LOL. I do appreciate the Seoul humidity that caused Adam to remove the jacket early and made his hair fall over his forehead. IMHO that is so cute.

ANYTIME that lock of hair is down on his forehead I am a very, very happy camper.

The hair falling due to humidity reminds me of Orlando June 29,2013 at Universal Studios when I saw Adam in person for the first time..so awesome.

"I Was Born to Love You" is very popular in Japan. Many "non-Queen fan" Japanese people recognize the melody. Both Freddie's original version and Queen's version have been used for TV commercials since 80s. About 10 years ago, Queen's version along with other Queen songs were used for a prime-time TV drama. The last time Queen was in Japan with Paul Rodgers, Brian and Roger did an acoustic version of "I Was Born to Love You".

I don't see Tie Your Mother Down in these vids. Did I miss it? Is there one out there. I love to see Adam interact with Rufus and always go to that as one the first vids I look at from a concert.
