I do not usually big posts over from other forums -- but the is a QueenZone.com thread about the Q+AL Tour end -- and it included these posts. I am not editing just the good ones, there are no negative posts.
And I particularly liked Marknow's opening post.

I find it hard to express in words, the positives from this tour. After a successful tour in North America in 2014 the pressure was on to deliver "at home" in the UK and Europe.
The two best words to describe it all would be "Critical Acclaim". Yes, I am a fan of the project, always have been, but the general conscientious here is that it all went rather well. Sold out venues, disgracefully excessive re-sale ticket prices, extra shows added, and as mentioned "Critical Acclaim" from the British press, a press that is more scathing than any other.
"We want more" is the message, bring on Rock In Rio.
To all the Queenberts, Glamberts, Adam fans & Queen fans on twitter, FB & QZ, Mixlr, it has been a pleasure meeting so many of you or speaking online. The force is strong here, it ain't over.
Well played by all.

Marknow -- I so appreciate your opening post.
This whole tour has been an amazing event for me. I was lucky to see the iHR Preview, most of the North American Tour and some of the UK concerts. It has been filled with pleasant surprises from the start to the finish and given me the opportunity to meet some of the most amazing people.
Before this collaboration I was a long-time Queen fan and a massive Adam fan. I was a bit skeptical of the whole Q+ concept. But this collaboration has made me a Queenbert, and it has increased my respect and love for Brian and Roger.
It has made me listen in a new way to some of my favorite songs -- and brought them back to life! Queen music needs to be LIVE!
Most of all -- and most surprisingly -- it has increased my appreciation of the supreme talent of both Freddie and Adam Lambert.
Now on to RIO! I am happy that Q+AL will return.

I was very sceptical to begin with, but having been to the Manchester show and seen clips on YouTube, I'm sold, let's have an album and a final big tour, bliss :-)

I wasn't all ears when the collaboration with Adam began, but even when I've first heard him with Queen I immediately thought that he still was better than PR singing those songs. Hearing them again at New Year's Eve BBC gig made me realise that Lambert is still learning but he makes progress. I started to being optimistic about this project and with curiosity I've followed nearly every stream of QAL gig which appeared on mixlr.
When I've heard that they're going to play in my country, I couldn't miss this one and possibly only chance to hear them live. Cracow gig was emotional for me and they really tried to appease audience and till the next day I didn't realise how much I've enjoyed the gig and what I've felt that night. With even greater will I followed those last streams and over the last two months I was making sure that I'm free at 8 or 9 pm. Guess what I've felt on this day, the day after the final gig when there was no stream to await... just sadness and regret that there isn't more [at least till Rock in Rio]. But as the saying goes: 'don't be sad because it's over smile because it happened'. Lambert did well and I thought that Cracow gig was the best (performance wise) but after listening to it again I must say that Liverpool rocks !

I think the best audio live stream is this one of the whole show in Wembley arena:

While we're discussing this year Q+AL gigs I'd like to ask you whether we should add the concert mix of track13th from MiH to the Ultimate Collection thread ??

When it doesn't happen and I bet it won't, twitter will never be the same. Stock up on popcorn and even buy shares in Orville Redenbacher and ACT II Popcorn and sit back and watch.
