This whole review is worth reading. Here are the Adam bits:theprogressiveaspect.net/blog/2018/07/06/queen-adam-lambert/Concert Review: Queen @queenwillrock + @adamlambert O2 Arena, London Queen + Adam Lambert Article by: Rob Fisher O2 Arena, London Monday, 2nd July 2018 "That we can finally see this is in no small part down to Adam Lambert’s utterly magnificent and intoxicating performance. The times have changed and Lambert is not afraid to openly parade his sexuality in ways which perhaps Freddie never could. Glorious costumes, high heeled boots, a golden spangly cloak and crown, leather skirt and eye-liner are superb adornments to a stage style which enhances the songs being sung in ways which are fresh and illuminating. At one point he rises through the walkway stage, perched on top of a model of the robot’s head, cracking jokes about its location in relation to his arse. Bicycle Race sees him mount a flower adorned pink tricycle and ride it around the stage. And what let’s him pull all of this off with such aplomb is the fact that his singing is absolutely riveting, a towering voice with a greater register than Freddie’s but also packed with huge subtlety and deep reserves of nuance. His range is amply demonstrated with I Want It All, packed with bombastic, anthemic bluster, the heartbreaking Who Wants To Live Forever and the measured defiance of The Show Must Go On. He is, in every way, the perfect complement to and fit with the Queen ensemble. Living with the legacy of Queen and the ever present reminders of Freddie isn’t easy, but Lambert is a superb singer and I think it is a pity he seems almost forced to be (voluntarily) self-effacing at points in the set about his place and role in the band. He’s not Freddie; we all know he’s not Freddie. Nor is he trying to be. But whilst he handles the deferment to his predecessor so graciously, nevertheless he deserves recognition in his own right for what he brings to the possible future of Queen. He is his own man. He brings his own distinctive style, identity and nuances to the songs which is new, vibrant and exciting. Queen need this infusion of life, vitality and novelty if they are to carry on. Lambert fully deserves his rightful place at the front of the stage. ... I am not ashamed to confess that I cried. Thirty years on I finally lived a dream I never thought would happen. It was magical; it was dramatic; it took your breath away. The show does go on: this really is Queen and one day I sincerely hope there will be a confidence on the part of everyone concerned, fans included, not to need the “+ Adam Lambert” as part of the show."

twitter.com/HelloGlasgowist/status/1015554457319374849Glasgowist @helloglasgowist Spectacular show as Queen + Adam Lambert rock TRNSMT in the sunshine www.glasgowist.com/spectacular-show-as-queen-adam-lambert-rock-trnsmt-in-the-sunshine/ … SPECTACULAR SHOW AS QUEEN + ADAM LAMBERT ROCK TRNSMT IN THE SUNSHINE www.glasgowist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Queen_Hero_RyanBuchanan_001-1050x700.jpgQueen + Adam Lambert shook up the Main Stage alongside local heroes Texas and The Temperance Movement, as Scottish acts were the hot topic on day four of TRNSMT. .... Meanwhile backstage, Paolo Nutini basked in the summer sunshine catching some rays and some good times ahead of headliners Queen + Adam Lambert taking to the stage. And what a stage it was. Created by STUFISH, the stage is based on Brian May’s custom-made guitar which was designed and made with his father in the 1960s. Black gloss with a red chrome edge, it was incredible, measuring 21m wide and 34m long. .... Whether those in the crowd had followed tonight’s headliners throughout their musical career, or it was their first time witnessing the sheer power of that back catalogue, as Queen + Adam Lambert took to the TRNSMT stage there was a certain kind of magic in the air tonight. Their setlist included everything the crowd were anticipating from their headline set: showmanship, back to back Queen classics and a truly explosive, once in a lifetime show. Providing the crowd with a truly unforgettable moment, Brian May expertly guided the Glasgow crowd through a rendition of the Scottish anthem ‘The Bonnie Bonnie Banks o’ Loch Lomond’, paying tribute to his own Scottish mother. ‘I Want to Break Free’, ‘Radio Ga Ga’, ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, ‘We Will Rock You’…just some of the EPIC tunes on offer as the sun set on a glorious Friday night in Glasgow. The TRNSMT crowd needed Somebody to Love and boy, did the band deliver. From Brian May taking a selfie with the expansive TRNSMT crowd, to a poignant tribute to Freddie Mercury from fellow frontman Adam Lambert, mass singalongs to ‘Under Pressure’ and the promise by Adam Lambert to spend a night truly celebrating the biggest rock band in the world – TRNSMT’s Friday night was one for the history books.

Wow, this is wonderful read. This author has both the eloquence and the astute observation to describe the complexities of Queen in today's time, Adam as the new front man, and the need to present this music with flair, bravado, as well as humor, like Adam does.
Best review I have read, this tour and past!
