11.6.23 Travel Day -- heading to California

Here are my recaps of my Dallas and Denver concerts.  My DH attended the Dallas concert with me (as well as the first one in St. Paul), but not the Denver one or the second St Paul one.  He is not a Glambert, but appreciates Adam's incredible abilities, and loves to see him with Queen.  However, he said that two concerts were sufficient for him.  I was only able to get floor seats for the first show in Dallas, and as I expected, I didn't like these seats as well as those which are in the lower bowl off of the floor.  I'm showing my age, as it is difficult for me to stand for an entire concert.  Too many hands and phones in the air, and tall guys in front of me which made it difficult to take pictures and videos.  My DH is taller, so he was able to get better videos.  Thank goodness for those incredible high screens with wonderful close-ups of Adam, Brian and Roger!  When I bought the Dallas tickets, I didn't know about the second Dallas concert, so I bought a Denver ticket instead.

The Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders didn't perform at the first Dallas concert.  However, I saw cheerleaders perform FBG in Philadelphia back in 2019, which was fun.  As expected, Adam, Brian and Roger were all in fine form.  This audience wasn't as loud as my second St. Paul one, and Adam seemed to have a little more trouble getting the audience fully engaged (on STL, for instance).  We had some very talkative younger gals in the row behind us, which was very distracting.  Another very diverse audience, and I saw several families.  So nice to see the variety of attendees!  So many highlights which are just too many to mention.  The pyrotechnics, light shows and other special effects are just amazing.  Technology has certainly improved over the years.  When Brian mentioned speakers in the back of the arena, I paid attention.  Sure enough, the sound was excellent, and certainly gave more of a surround-sound effect. In spite of the poorer seats, I enjoyed this concert immensely.  Having seen it twice before gave me a chance to notice things that I might have missed before.  Adam sang TSMGO a third time - heavenly!  The "Magic" sequence was incredible - a feast for the eyes! Adam's WWTLF was stellar - my very favorite.  Bohemian Rhapsody and the encore songs were tremendous for each show. A fantastic concert!

My trip to see the Denver show was definitely worth it.  I had a better seat than Dallas - lower bowl, first row on the aisle, closer to the bend at the rear of the arena.  This location gave me a much better view of the B stage. I also had cooperative fans around me, and sat next to a lovely Glambert.  Adam was really on fire during this show.  This concert was really bittersweet for me, as it might be the last time I see QAL live (I certainly hope not, but who knows?!).  Travel, particularly flying, is very difficult for me (one reason DH came with me to Minneapolis and Dallas; I was able to drive to Denver), so no international flights in my future.  This audience was LOUD, and seemed much more engaged.  Rivaled the loudest concert in St. Paul.  I was trying to treasure each and every song, and Adam, Brian and Roger didn't disappoint.  Roger seemed even more energetic during this show, and Brian, as always, was spectacular. As expected, the light shows and special effects were beyond incredible. During "Is This the World We Created" there was a hush from the audience.  I was so thankful for that, as Adam sings it in such a gentle and heartfelt way. One of my favorites.  He started WWTLF in a much gentler way, and then his voice just soared.  He hit several stratospheric notes during this concert - my heart just leaps when he hits those incredible notes.  His voice just seems to get stronger and stronger. He also sang the TSMGO again - I'm so lucky to have heard it four times! I had tears in my eyes as this show ended.  This was certainly a concert that I will cherish forever!

animaldoc . Thank you so much for your recap.
Let’s hope you get to see them again in the US…but if not, you’ll always have these wonderful memories. 

Very powerful. It was an E5, which he hits occasionally - usually on the top of that glide on Under Pressure. But doesn't usually go there on TSMGO. Sounded good!
