I love reading all the great reviews from ljsmack and others!!! I am really terrible at writing reviews. But I did get great high quality audio!!! I was 1st row in the stands, middle of the arena with a great view of the front of the b-stage! I am hoping our Queenzone friend has enough time to process the audio this week as I am really busy with work for next 2 weeks. I was not even sure I could go to Clebeland untill a couple of days before. So glad I could!! I was listening to my audio on the walk back to the hotel. Was so into the music that I wasn't watching the sidewalk closely enough. I tripped on an uneven area of sidewalk and fell. Skinned up my left knee and forearm and sprained my right foot. I had to get wheelchair assistance at the airport as I am barely able to hobble around. Fortunately I can flex my foot enough for the drive home from airport. Oh no! Take care! ❤️

Some comments from the Michigan review - www.mlive.com/music/index.ssf/2017/07/queen_and_adam_lambert_pay_tri.htmlPinocha34 I have love Freddie since I can remember. I had the pleasure to be at the concert here in Chicago on July 13th, the only thing that I can say is that Adam Lambert did a excellent job. Of course Queen is out of this world as always. I have NEVER listen to Adam Lambert before, I kind of remember that he was in one of this singing shows that also never watched. He knows how to make people enjoy the show and he is very humble, something that is FANTASTIC. The way his knowledge the honor of playing with one of the greatest band ever and of course the GREATEST Freddie Mercury. I loveeeeee the concert. MusicIsO2 I'm a long-time fan of Queen's music and left The Palace last night joyously speechless over the 360-degree excellence and entertainment value of this show. This is top-notch musicianship. The staging is current and colorful and cheeky-fun at times, so fitting for a Queen show. And, omg, Adam Lambert's voice ... that guy can SING and is a natural-born showman, ever-respectful of the legacy of this band and Freddie's imprint on music. I disagree with the author of this review only in that I heard a number of points during the show at which the crowd reaction for Adam's performance was just as loud as for the Freddie clips. Special mentions are warranted for the gorgeous arrangement of Somebody to Love for this tour, Adam's stratospheric vocals on Who Wants To Live Forever, and the backing vocals throughout the show led by Roger Taylor. I like how Brian May has emerged as a co-frontman. The interplay and mutual respect between Brian and Adam feels natural despite the age difference. These songs have stood the test of time and I'm overjoyed to hear them performed in a way that feels like they could have been released this year, which is a real tribute to all four members of Queen. Thank you Brian, Roger, and Adam, along with Spike, Neil, and Tyler, for bringing this fantastic entertainment to our cities and for delivering excellence in every aspect of the show. (You can tell I got over my speechlessness, right? Haha) Rokrobin The show was fantastic! The band is phenomenal and Brian May is a genius. To get was great too. Adam sung his heart out...can't ask for more than that, but he was astounding! And you're not too fat, Adam. You look great! Brendan Savage Not a big fan of Queen but it was a very good show. My wife thought it was the best she's ever seen but she's a huge fan of the band (and Freddie Mercury)

If you are fortunate enough to attend at least two shows make sure that one show is close up and the other in the stands in order to fully appreciate this amazing concert.
For the Toronto show I had third row tickets so literally saw the buckets of sweat poring off Adam's face. I went to the show with my daughter who is neither a Queen nor an Adam fan but I'm happy to share that she was totally won over. I drove down because the VIP package included free parking .....big mistake. The traffic was horrendous and we couldn't find the VIP parking after circling around twice. We had four young gay guys in front of us who couldn't get enough of Adam and four older gay guys behind us who were all about Brian and Roger. I was glad they couldn't see my face at times because their racy comments put me to blush. I love watching people having fun and everyone around us was in full dance mode........it was a joy to see. For me this was a night of wonderful entertainment and pure joy.......especially because I could share it with my precious daughter.
To get to Detroit, I had to drive about 41/2 hours there and the same back home, but it was definitely worth it. I went to this show with a friend of 50 plus years and she like my daughter thought the show was a fantabulous extravaganza......her words. For this show we had seat in the 100 level in the 8th row and we were surrounded mostly by couples of all ages. We got there early so had an interesting conversation with a couple from Lovett Texas and another couple from Detroit. It seemed to me that most of the people near me were Adam's fans.....a number of them dressed in full red regalia. I was so glad that our seats were in the stands this time because I did not get to appreciate the wonderful visual effects in the first show we were just too close. I thought perhaps that the Detroit crowd was not quite as loud as the Toronto people but it could just have been my vantage point.
I danced, clapped and song through both shows ........these concerts made me smile and and filled me with happiness. They will now be put away in my memory bank. Thank you Adam, Brian, Roger and the rest of the gang.
