I just got home, a detour to a movie after a great day with theosgma, and although I'm still at the beginning of the thread, I skipped ahead to see that theosgma already posted a recap.. so I'll just add a few impressions and random thoughts..
There were 100+ people there. It was pretty amazing to be so up close and personal with that voice!!! We were about 3 people back and the first row was so close to the stage that Adam said something about it. He seemed really relaxed and comfortable.
Jayn the dj who did the interview with him a while back and is a big fan said that she was supposed to be working at the station today, but no way in hell was she going to miss seeing Adam this time around. The first time he did his promo with Alice radio, she was away on vacation and missed it. It was funny, before he came out, the djs asked the audience all kinds of personal questions about Adam, like when was his birthday, what is Adam's mom's name, when is the album coming out, his bf's name, etc.. and everyone yelled out the answers, all except for the answer to one question.. how much does he weigh? ;D The djs got a kick out of that, since we seemed to know more than the djs.. even information about the new album.
Jayn did ask him about singing with Queen.. I forgot how she phrased it, but I remember she mentioned only 1 gig. Adam made a pinched face expression, and said he couldn't talk about that because he had made a promise and that we'd have to wait and see.. sounded a bit cryptic to me.. hmm could they be working on getting some other gig?? When Jayn started mentioning Queen, everyone starting to make sounds like mmmm don't go there.. clearly we had Adam's back.
I think theosgma mentioned that the dj had announced beforehand that Adam would sing 2 songs, but we got 3!!! And no WWFM!! A testament to the enthusiastic and spirited response he got from us. ;D I only saw a few cell phones out.. a person in the front row was filming, so a vid may be up soon, if not already. We were definitely bebopping to the music.
Adam's voice was clear and powerful.. really just sublime! Oh Jayn asked him if he had to warm up to sing, and he said that for longer gigs he usually warmed up, but for a few songs, he didn't always feel the need to do it, like today. Tommy sounded great on the guitar.. really enjoying his playing lately.
When he introduced Tommy, Tommy didn't say anything or you couldn't hear him because he wasn't miked, but Adam jokingly said that Tommy doesn't speak, then put his hand behind Tommy's neck as if he was the puppeteer and said, "good Tommy".
He really looked fabulous and very natural on stage, but when we had our meet and greet, I could see that he had quite a bit of makeup on, both face and eyes, which surprised me because you couldn't really tell when he was singing just a few feet away.
There were too many people there to all get m&g, but as theosgma mentioned, I won one in a drawing.. total shock! I remember going up to him and looking at his face, and being really surprised at the amount of makeup that he had on, and feeling like his eye makeup obscured his naturally beautiful eyes. Then I babbled on about Vitamix.. yes you heard it right.. Vitamix! What was I thinking??!! Not hell of a lot as it turned out! :
I remember saying something like, "hey Adam, I know you're really into juicing, so you might want to check out Vitamix.. it's really great... " I think he said he was really attached to some brand of juicer or something. Between theosgma and me, I think we chatted with him longer than the allotted time.. so I forgot to say "thank you" and all the great things that would have been nice for me to say... sigh. :
It was a wonderful day.. even the weather cooperated. Last night it was stormy, windy and rainy, and today it was like spring had sprung with sun and blue skies.
The Universe conspired and the stars aligned to make this a wonderful birthday for theosgma!
ETA Just remembered another tidbit.. Jayn asked him if he knew what was going around the internet.. I thought it was his acoustic performance of NCOE, but she said it was the snippet of Adam singing Katie Perry's song. He laughed and said he had seen that.
Also, Trespassing was brought up by one of the djs and Adam jokingly said to everyone, "go buy 10 and give it away to your friends" or something like that. I remember thinking it was great that he was promoting himself more.
ETA Just got to the end of the thread.. I see there were more people filming than I thought.. must've been my vantage point. Great to have the vids though.
