I was just looking back at all the concerts I've been to since 2009 and found that the number of QALs I've attended have now surpassed the number of Adam solo shows I've attended. 27QALs +25solos =52. I know several fans that have gone to double and triple that number and one fan was at 135 back in 2016....lol. THat's an average of 5 shows per year....to which I can't complain. In 2011 I didn't attend a single event. In 2009 I only attended the Memphis Idol Tour. The past two years I've attended 3 QALS each. My biggest years were 2015 (8) and 2016(8) which included 6 shows in the UK and 6 in NZ and OZ. When I started to figure up how much $$ I've spent attending and travelling to all these shows.....well, I stopped quickly as I didn't really want to know....lol. bamafan , we are almost even in total numbers (I'm at 51 concerts and two non-performance events) but mine is still slanted toward solo Adam (34 solo to 17 QAL), but you have traveled MUCH farther than I have ... I've done Canada, England, and Scotland, but didn't do any of the other European countries, or Asia, Australia, and South America dates. Like you, I haven't a clue how much I've spent, and really don't want to know! LOL. Those UK trips and the one to NZ/OZ were expensive. Plus, I've gotten spoiled and have spent way too much on QAL concert tickets. Those front row seats at upwards of $800 add up in a hurry.....and they've ruined me for anything less. I figure I might could have replaced my 2011 Grand Cherokee with a 2020 model for the amount I've spent......but those memories are forever and priceless to me.

How in the world did you guys add up your Adam solo and QAL shows Karen & Bama? I wouldn't know how many lol which means probably a lot. Not much in life gives me more pleasure than hearing Adam sing live, so I've indulged that. When family/friends ask why I see the same concert over again, I point out that they have seen the same team play the same game over and over again, or the same musical theater or ballet etc - and they don't have much of a response.
I work hard, and have the energy so I should get to spend my time and money on what gives me pleasure. I have flown across country (and even once to Vancouver for the night ha) for 1 night and back again a few times so I could be at work Friday and Monday, catching Adam in between!
Not only has Adam given me so much pleasure, but the people I've met along the way have enriched my life, and new places I've seen also. I usually manage to fit in a side of sightseeing in whatever locale Adam is in. For instance, we visited Newport (Breakers mansion) while in Rhode Island to get to Foxwoods show recently.
These past 10 years have been a blast! Thank you Adam!

Would have been really hard to remember them all and when now

Congrats to Roger on his OBE.
However, I am amazed that he and Brian haven’t been knighted yet....it must surely be on the cards.
Sir Brian and Sir Roger - wouldn’t Adam have fun with that!
