Wonder why Adam stopped wearing the silver tail-coat? Too hot and heavy? Too many costume changes? I was wondering that, too..too heavy makes sense, although that red coat looks heavy also. I thought maybe I had missed the silver jacket because I hadn't caught up on all the vids yet. I just saw videos from yesterday (BoRhap and Another one bites the dust); where Adam was wearing that silver coat with the long fringes. If that’s the coat, that you mean.

Two "very good" reviews that are as complimentary of Adam's capabilities as they are about his humbleness in understanding his role and purpose with Queen. Adam letting go of all ego is probably what it takes to garner respect for what he does so well. One review states that last night's show felt like "one big tribute to the late musician" (Freddie) while the second review acknowledges, "...Yet, as great as he was, Lambert was only the co-star on this night." I was at the San Jose show and the controversial "tribute act" review the next day really hit home for me. And it sure didn't help that my DH mentioned, after a concert that he really enjoyed, how a Queen concert would be very different if Freddie still was around. In the end, it looks like a good time is had by a demographic more varied than ever before that is eagerly flocking to Queen concerts nowadays and selling out this tour, but I am wondering what may be going through Adam's head. I personally can not shake the feeling that Bohemian Rhapsody was a blessing and a curse, especially for Adam. I was thrilled how he modified the Freddie speech in Phoenix to less gushing, but for LA it looked like the true and proven lines were back. Hardcore Freddie fans may need it, but I as a super casual Queen fan and more of an Adam fan realized only recently that it is too much for me when Adam is putting himself down in order to pay respect to a celebrated super hero who has been raised to a pedestal after his tragic death. After watching the Nova Red Room acoustic videos I thought to myself how much I would give to see Adam in an acoustic concert like that or how I wish to see the TOH show one more time. That was all Adam. And it was glorious. I don't think Adam is ever going to get away from the specter of Freddie...maybe if Freddie had left the band, instead of dying. But because he died, he's been elevated to some kind of god, and I don't think that's something Adam is going to overcome any time soon. Freddie himself was so naughty, he would probably be laughing at his godlike status lol. I agree. I am pretty sure that Adam will always be the one who is supporting the spirit of Queen and paying respect to the late and great FM. Thankfully, he is making a nice living with it. Furthermore, the critics seem to be on board celebrating Queen and their iconic songs and the legendary status of their former frontman. Not hard to do now after the success of BoRhap that was followed by a nod to the band by asking them to open the Oscars. I am not criticizing their success, how could I, but I am looking at it from different angles.

No, I think we were talking about the silver coat with the tails...it came before the fringed one.

Wow, I didn't know Danielle and Adam go back to elementary school...I thought it was high school.
And I agree, Sizzling...it would be interesting to know Adam's thoughts on the venture...in private, not the press releases.

Ok, is that Adam's butt, or Javi's, keeping time with the music??? Looks like Adam is filming his own reflection in the window. Maybe he’s doing some exercises for his back. Looks funny though. Wait is he NAKED?

Alas, I think whoever is in Adam's IG is wearing little bitty trunks.

Love reading the tweets from new fans who are seeing QAL for the first time. Now they know what they've been missing! I think Adam will pick up some new fans on this tour. He is wowing a whole bunch of newbies. Great to hear that the crowed has a good bunch of teenagers, too. Nice mix of ages. Adam's voice is richer than ever as he gets older. Every note is a gem. So speaking of fans, Q3 do you know that Adamtopia doesn't appear in the first 3 pages at least when I search for Adam Lambert Fan Club? Really weird since it does appear when I leave off the "club". I know we get lots of folks who stop by but I wonder if we miss helping Adam connect with some of these new fans because I see so little on twitter about places like Atop to talk about Adam in more depth. Is there any concern about some of us posting on twitter, hey new fans come find us on Atop? or Looking for Adam history, check out this thread etc?
