(Adam part)
On Saturday, October 10th, 2015 took place in the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam the radio event "Radio 538 Live XXL" instead. More than 15,000 listeners of the eponymous radio station attended the show at which also broadcast live on the radio. In collaboration with a retailer they brought a significant line-up at the Ziggo Dome, with the unofficial headline: Adam Lambert!
The total climax of the evening was also (rightly) in the hands of the American singer Adam Lambart. He suggested the visitors (and his fans) did not disappoint. With only three songs he recorded the whole Ziggo Dome on its head when he was allowed to give the baton to Party DJ Ruud who closed the evening.

m.playbill.com/news/article/youll-never-hear-over-the-rainbow-the-same-way-again-the-song-breakdown-everyone-should-watch-366091This is sorta OT and sorta not. For serious music geeks, this is a very interesting analysis of melody line and harmonies in "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". Not a serious music geek? Well, the one bit that relates to Adam is a statement about the opening notes of the song. The expert says, ""We start off with this big leap. This is a full octave leap. That's a big leap for a popular song. In fact, producers were worried that nobody would buy the song because it would be too hard to sing this opening leap." Hmmmm. Listen to the opening notes of the chorus of Another Lonely Night. Aha! The same full octave leap. In fact, the melody line for "Somewhere over the rainbow, way....." and "Another day, another lonely night" are very similar. ALN leaps up and down in full octaves thruout the chorus. And, as the expert says, vocally, that is quite difficult to sing. But, of course, Adam bounces up and down effortlessly. Adam actually does a lot of these octave jumps in his songs. "My heart is a ghost town" is sung in a lower octave, and then repeated an octave up. In TOH, he sings the melody "chasing the original high" in both the lower and upper octave on the studio recording. Live, he alternates between singing the melody down and up the octave. In AOBTD, the first verse is sung in a lower octave, while the second verse, at least when Adam sings it live, repeats the melody an octave above the first verse, building the power and impact. Just one of the many examples of Adam's technically proficient, flexible, well controlled voice. And don't forget Evil in the Night. He starts singing in his lower range and the takes it up an octave within the span of one beat. Very easy for him but not most popular singers. Thanks for that link. It's a beautiful and non-technical analysis of Over the Rainbow. It's a good illustration of why some popular music isn't very interesting to me. Composers back in those days were very accomplished musicians and understood music theory. They could write those amazing chords towards the end of Rainbow that the interviewee talked about. These chords add such color and interest to the music, and meaning of the song. Yes, there were plenty of trite songs back in my parents' hey day, but, in my opinion, there was a deeper understanding of music and composition (think big band, Cohan, Gershwin, musical theater composers). Plus, these composers knew there were accomplished singers to write for (everyone from Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Doris Day, on and on) who had great vocal control (including a range of more than an octave) and expressiveness. There was more range and variety in the music. Sometimes when I listen to HAC I just get tired of the same few chords. I mean "Renegade" has the same, tired chord progression as so many other songs that repeats for the entire song (like WWFM). I guess when rock and roll hit the scene in the '50s, it became the norm to have only 3 or 4 chords in a song. (I am really not a fan of that old rock music.) And that is a major reason why I enjoy Adam singing with Queen. They did not stick to the bland chords structure or small melodic range. It's incredibly interesting to here Adam with that more "complex" music. I enjoy it a lot.

Listening to soundcheck. Stopping and starting ALN quite a lot of times. Want to have x ray eyes, why is there a door between me and the studio.
Immensely enjoying the feeling that Adam is so close, even if I can't see him
Ghost Town just starting now!
