I didn't take any pics, but the girls definitely did. They said they would send over tomorrow.
Very diverse crowd. Everyone from middle school to quite elderly, with a rather shocking number of teenagers and early twenties despite it being a school night! Lots of interesting concertwear as well, with a lot of the younger crowd complementing each other on their outfits. My gaggle of teens (I brought three of them) had a fantastic time. There was much sing-a-long-ing and hollering by all.
Adam sounded amazing. Brian played spectacularly (but strangely his *hands* looked so much older than they did during the last tour - didn't affect the music in any way tho'). Roger continues to look like a genial Santa, and his kid is still stunning. Spike and Neal look unchanged.
And whoever did the set design needs a freaking medal. It was flat-out amazing. The computer effects were mindblowing, and there were some surprising physical effects with flash-bangs, lasers, lamps, and various forms of confetti (the leaf ones were a neat touch). One of the kids I brought is a theater geek, and they were in total awe.
I desperately need to sleep, but thought I'd drop in and post while things were fresh!
Lollies to all!

Heya girl!!!!!!!!   Yeah, I can't believe it either. Time needs to go slower.  As for Bri and Rodger - they like the rest of us ARE older. The show was absolutely, spectacularly incredible. But, not gonna lie, there were times when both Brian and Rodger looked like they were hurting. It may just be because this is the second show. The first show is pure adrenaline, and by later on in the tour, ye ol' body generally settles in. But day 2 is probably always when aches and pains from the sheer physical stress of a long show make themselves known. Heck, **I'm** sore this morning, and I was just in the audience!!!!!!!! |

<exhausted> Just got back home from the show after dropping off all the various teenagers back to their various homes (yes, the kidlet is now a teenager - don't die of the shock!). Show was amazing. My ears may take a bit to recover tho'! The audience was LOUD! :-) Kidlet is a teenager? How long have I been sitting here? Love recaps! |

Great recap, Hoppers! Love hearing about crowd age diversity. NICE TO SEE OGās from Planet Fierce back. Weāre a loyal bunch!
I bet they all need ice packs after the shows. Iām 75, do aquacize four days a week, and I donāt think I would have the stamina Brian and Roger demonstrate while performing at such an energized level.
Was Rufus there? Or did you mean Tyler Warren was stunning?
So glad you got teensā perspective, too. Itās nice to know another generation will recognize the virtuosity of Queen, and Adam, of course.

I'm way late to the conversation but I thought I would chime in too! So glad to see old friends back for a bit. The fact that the kidlet is a teenager comes as a shock! As satisfied said, How long have I been sitting here ... under Adam's spell? |
