Ohh I just realized that most of the cities in UK that QAL had their concerts are Football/Soccer cities. Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester, and Nottingham, these cities have big and famous soccer teams. I bet they audience are soccer fans as well, that's why they're so loud and . I'm slow .. I know 
PS: I missed Liverpool another soccer city and hometown of the Beatles

 markgilroymusic.wordpress.com/2015/01/21/live-review-queen-adam-lambert-leeds-arena-20115/Live Review: Queen & Adam Lambert – Leeds Arena 20/1/15 There was a point in the first half hour of last night’s two-hour show where I realised my face was hurting. It was then I realised that I’d been grinning non-stop since Brian May started thrashing out the opening chords of “One Vision”. Two and a half years have passed since the inaugural London run- since then, Queen and frontman Adam Lambert have embarked on a huge US and Australasia tour before landing in Europe. And this show has grown in every way- the size/scope of the stage, the length of the set list…plus the incredible light displays. All of that extra time together has paid dividends- the band sound tighter than ever, while frontman Adam has grown as a performer, commanding the stage whenever he appeared, with all the cheek, charm charisma of a world-class entertainer. It was very much a show of two halves, the first relentlessly riding through classics like crowd singalong “Fat Bottomed Girls”, playful “Killer Queen” (with Adam draped himself on a chaise longue drinking champagne) and culminating in a jaw-dropping “Somebody To Love”. Then came the ‘interval’- a chance for Roger, Brian, and the band to show off their skills (and the first appearance of Freddie alongside Brian May in “Love Of My Life”). This presented one of the only lulls in the evening, but you have to hand it to a pair of guys in their mid/late sixties for their efforts, and undeniable musicality. The second half introduced Adam back to the stage, flawlessly serenading the crowd a capela with “Save Me”, before the BIGGEST glitter ball descended to accompany “Who Wants To Live Forever”- easily my favourite song of the night. Atmospheric, powerful stuff.  “Bohemian Rhapsody” was a other highlight, Freddie returning onscreen and duetting with Adam. Right at the end of the show, Brian May turned the spotlight on Adam, asking “What do you think of the new member?” At least a full minute of rapturous applause rained down. It was great to see, yet again, a stage full of world-class musicians with nothing but respect for one another, selflessly pushing each other forward to take a bow. Sheer class. Returning for an encore of “We Will Rock You” and “We Are The Champions” (not sure anyone can own a finale quite like that). Come back to Yorkshire soon guys. A night out with Queen & Mr Lambert is (to borrow a few words) “dynamite with a laser beam, guaranteed to blow your mind.”  |

I got a great question from abriton about how Adam maintains his voice throughout this long, grueling tour. I replied in the vocal masterclass thread. If you are interested, check it out. Thanks for the question, abriton. adamtopia.com/post/575329/threadThanks for your enlightening and thorough explanation. When I used to teach, I'd be voice challenged about the 2nd week of school. To go from summer regular talking to talking 5 hrs a day while being "present" and "projecting" was laryngitis-inducing for me. In school, no time for breaks to hydrate or even go to the bathroom--hall duty you know. Teachers were not allowed beverages in classrooms then--70's-early 90's. I still can go 8hrs without drinking or the loo, much to the detriment of my body, let alone voice. Who knew I needed voice lessons! Thx again. AMEN! I'm a music teacher--try singing and talking. Double whammy! We do get to drink nowadays, but I'm often so busy I forget to. |
