Agree with this, holst!
The difference between the first half and 2nd half is the songs. Queen has built this setlist to build and build to monumental performances in the 2nd half for both the band and Adam! I dare anyone to watch I Want It All or Who Wants to Live Forever, in the first half of the show, and tell me either was a subdued performance! :-/

I'm the post queen (no pun) today. Can you tell I'm a teacher on summer break. Having FUN! I'm bringing this post of JAZZHANDS over from last night because it is thought provoking and I wanted to comment. llll @technopall @milestougeaux I think the entire world is glad @adamlambert wasn't good at math. He was born to rock the world. Trespassing Retweeted by Miles Tougeaux Shhh...let's not tell astrophysicist, Dr. Brian May, that he shouldn't be able to rock the world. ;D Speaking of whom, I've watched that guitar solo more than a few times. It's like hearing an artist play three dimensional chess with the cosmos, using the musical equivalent of quantum physics. I think there's one good reason that most scientists don't make the best artists - left-brain dominants aren't often artistically creative. And vice versa. Brian has fabulous access to both hemispheres. It's a fascinating and rare opportunity to watch him as he creates art. I was also contemplating how three of my favorite songs from yesterday's set were written by Brian: "Who Wants to Live Forever," "The Show Must Go On," and "I Want it All." Brian May is a passable vocalist in his own right, but obviously he doesn't have the range to sing at least the first two of those songs himself. Brian wrote those songs for Freddie Mercury's voice. And Brian doesn't have the muscular swagger vocally to sing "I Want it All" as he understood Freddie could do. This by way of saying, since a few others are expressing their fantasy outcomes of this Queen + Adam Lambert collaboration, here's one of mine. In my opinion, Brian May has a singularly unique history of being able to write songs that fit and understand a voice such as Adam Lambert's like a custom-tailored SkinGraft suit. Yeah, I ship it. I've fallen down the rabbit hole so many times yesterday and today with such a constant huge smile that my face hurts. I feel so lucky to have lived in a time where two such vocalists as Freddie Mercury and Adam Lambert gave us their incredible performances. That some of those performances are of the same music astonishes me. The universe is stranger than we will ever understand, and I love it. Actually, I love everything and everybody today, including all of you ATOPers. This is better than Ecstasy!  I love your description of Brian's solo. However, scientist, doctors, etc., have a reputation of being excellent musicians. Many of them choose technical careers instead of music, but excellent techie musicians are all around us. I don't have statistics, but those of us who do music for a living are frequently in awe of those who do these two things that seem opposite so well, particularly in a case like Brian. And related: a few years ago I read that in the U.S., among med school applicants, music majors had the highest acceptance rate. Go figure. I am all on board your fantasy song-writing ship. That really got me thinking. Since currently rock is mostly looking bleah, maybe such a collaboration could be a game changer in rock history. Maybe Adam would want to sing rock if there were great songs, but it's mostly dullsville out there. He and Brian could be the saviors of rock and Adam could be the czar of pop (is that title taken). Okay, I'll go away now. Gotta get busy downloading and editing my iMovie. |

To me the second half of the show Adam looked more relaxed.
Not that he looked nervous in the beginning,
just something I could feel or sense.. ..
I describe it as "Adam looked like his eyeballs where going
to pop out of his head"
THE ENTIRE CONCERT WAS SO INCREDIBLE!
I cant stop watching !

I am guessing the band and Adam took the day off yesterday to travel and to rest. Today I bet they are holed up in a space somewhere rehearsing. They would want to go over the rough patches from Kiev's performance, fix things that didn't work, review things that were a bit shaky. That is typical after a dress rehearsal.
What do y'all think?
