Looks like there is a lot of fun stuff to do in Cleveland and a good transportation system, so worth a couple of extra days. Need to check out hotels and flights. It's so soon, but does anyone know if there are any kind of VIP tickets? Don't know but if you find out, let me know! I might want to stay an extra day. Right now I am booked to fly out to Boston but it is Southwest and I can change it. Are you going to go? Want to play on Tuesday? I am very seriously thinking of going. I love going places I have never been ... AFL, my travel beacon! I would love to play on Tuesday. I will probably buy a ticket to the concert and then plan from there. I will let you know, don't change any flights yet. |

Right now I am booked to fly out to Boston but it is Southwest and I can change it. Are you going to go? Want to play on Tuesday? There are not VIP tickets but there are priorities on the presale.....and donor and season ticket holders get preferential treatment. My experience in this venue is there are many good and great seats. And the acoustics are great. Have a Promo Code? (this will be the radio station pre-sale code) >> On Sale Wed, Sep 30, 10:00 am Donor Circle Pre-Sale >> On Sale Wed, Sep 30, 10:00 am Friends Pre-Sale >> On Sale Wed, Sep 30, 10:00 am Partners Pre-Sale >> On Sale Wed, Sep 30, 10:00 am Season Ticket Holder Pre-Sale >> On Sale Wed, Sep 30, 10:00 am There is indeed a ton to do in Cleveland -- if you like snow and cold. It will be December on the edge of the snow belt. We have a world class FREE art museum, the Rock Hall of Fame, over 30 other major museums, a world class symphony, a very active theater and concert schedule etc. BUT IT WILL BE COLD AND PROBABLY SNOWY. The venue is awesome: Connor Palace at PlayhouseSquare The last of the four principal PlayhouseSquare theaters (and the most expensive to build at $3,500,000), the Palace Theatre, renamed Connor Palace in 2014, opened Nov. 6, 1922 as the flagship of B.F. Keith’s vaudeville chain. The sign atop its building advertising the Connor Palace was “the world’s largest electrical sign” circa 1921. The Connor Palace’s elegant lobby was highlighted by a million-dollar art collection and another “world’s largest”…the largest woven-in-one-piece carpet. The venue showcased the likes of Fanny Brice, Bing Crosby, Houdini, Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra and The Three Stooges before changing over to films. In its current role as a “legit theater,” the Connor Palace seats 2,800. Link to seating plan: playhousesquare.s3.amazonaws.com/doc/ConnorPalace-Map2014.pdfThere will be no lack of good seats here.

Q3, I love cold and snow. So different from Austin. Do you know if the box seats are spoken for by donors, etc.?

You might want to consider Southwest so if you don't go, the money goes in a travel to fund to be used anytime within the year. |

Anyway -- I do not recommend the box seats for a concert -- the floor is best -- and it is sloped up. I have been back in row R and row T and it was great. Hope I get closer but I do not care that much. I am just so happy to have a drive to concert.  |

Argentina Billboard
Queen + Adam Lambert: a night in Buenos Aires
The band left a very good impression on their way through Argentina. The honor of the Queen was safe.
By Gabriel Pérez google translation Adam Lambert is the best artist selfie generation to interpret the classics of a band like Queen. The singer has plenty of histrionics, has a great stage presence and a touching vocal. It is a star with his own light, which does not attempt to emulate wisely Freddie Mercury. It had all the chips to be the big loser in the cold night of September 26, but passed the test with flying colors. After a slight delay (there were people queuing to enter the field), sounded the chords of One Vision, which marked the beginning of a show that had tremendous moments as exaggerated interpretation "queer" that made Lambert Killer Queen, which lick included a microphone, and use eye revoleos fan; and moments to forget, as the duel between Roger Taylor batteries and son Rufus. Time lost that could have been occupied by Queen classics that were left out of GEBA, as Innuendo, You're my best friend or It's a hard life, just to mention some examples. Taylor redeemed himself with a flawless interpretation of A Kind of Magic, and if he were to sing I'm in love with my car, the classic album A Night At The Opera (b side of Bohemian Rhapsody, no less), more than a fan I had touched the sky with your hands. The nod to fans around the catalog of the Queen was the words of love and if there was anyone in GEBA who was more interested in Lambert Queen, had his prize with Ghost Town, the single from the latest album of the singer released half of this year. Brian May was asked to speak to the public. Her hair looks gray, giving it an even more peaceful aura to her figure. He recalled the visit of Queen to Argentina in 1981 and took over one of the two biggest hits of the night: Love of my life. The other issue that were waiting all, Bohemian Rhapsody, blew devastating. Two songs in a video of Freddie singing live projected. Because at the end, after all, he is the only queen.
At the end we came We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions, two classic stadiums that were chanted by everyone. Papers in the air, hands up, Brian May with the shirt of the Argentina team, gestures of thanks from Lambert, Taylor and May and the pleasant feeling that the two active members of Queen learned to honor the legend of the band and the memory of Freddie Mercury. |
