I had so many RL chores that didn't get done today, because I have sat in front of this computer ALL DAY looking at videos :  but I have to say it has been an AWESOME DAY ;D! I have been loving all of these fan vids. I love the different perspectives and seeing the crowd reactions. This one just melted my heart, to see all of these young people singing and cheering. Most of them are too young to even remember Freddie being alive and now Adam is bringing the music to life for them and us!! It is overwhelming!! Loving the fan vids. I think these fans can't even see the stage, just the big screens. Look at the faces of the girls. I think these ladies are one step away from falling down the rabbit hole. |

If anyone is interested in starting an organized religion that views Brian May as the supreme being, I'm in. Just tell me where to send my total net worth and inform me of the dress code.  I'm in. But it might be a hair code instead of dress code.  The gif, you have this video? |

Yes, very well said. It will very interesting to see Adam in concert after Queenbert is over. Will be interesting - going from 250k to arenas to Hammersmith and back to Fantasy Springs - a journey in reverse if you like at least with respect to crowd numbers... but all have their different dynamics which I am sure Adam will embrace and navigate with joy.
Adam has to be thrilled to be playing for ginormous crowds, but he has said he loves the intimacy and closer interaction of playing smaller venues - and I'd be surprised if he's changed his mind on that. He probably relishes the different energy exchange he gets from big and small audiences. |

If you look at the end, I think this maybe one of the moments that Brain May was talking about... he was just watching (mesmerized) Adam and forgot to play. The videographer was focusing on Brian May and not Adam so you can clearly see BM was mesmerized. :D This was also where Roger Taylor was mouthing, "Yes! Yes!" at the end. My favorite song of the show because of the visuals, Adam so damn happy and beaming, Brian forgetting to play, Roger's "Yes! Yes!" I honestly can not figure out who is more excited about these shows, but I think it may be Brian and Roger and not Adam!  On my MP3's my favorite is Dragon Attack!! So damn sexy!! I might keel over if I ever see him do that one in person!! That's funny .. I've been listening to Dragon Attack all morning today.. I'm crazy about the base solo... and then Adam slipt in his vocal a bit in between .. |

I am posting a plea to the Universe ---- please ignore my moment of insanity. Trespassing is like a Queenbert song for the 21st century. I know it can't happen but it would be glorious to here Trespassing done by Queenbert -- with a live mega-baseline, fully Adamized. Ummmm Universe, can you just do your thing one more time? >>Now back to the real world of amazing Adam news!<< Maybe they will play Trespassing as an encore on the last concert in London..  .... psst.. glamberts.. just don't pee on your pants when it happens LOLWell I could live with Brian and Roger surprising Adam and having Bowie come on stage for Under Pressure! ;D (A girl can dream.) |

It's strange, it's almost as if GNT Adam split into two different Adams, the rocker side becoming Queenbert and the diva side becoming Trespassing Adam I don't knoooowwwwwwwwwww!!! Like I said earlier, I'm having such a bizarre mind-warp ever since Adam appeared on that Kiev stage. I mean, supposedly the REAL LIFE Adam is involved with promoting Trespassing, and of course he's been doing it non-stop... but I guess the overriding feeling for so many weeks has one of "struggle" and "uphill battles", mainly because of the piece-of-shit radio stations who won't play his music. Then, Queenbert happens, and IT'S ALL SO EFFORTLESS. The struggle temporarily disappears... we kind of blank-out the frustrations and anger at the radio situation, and suddenly we can just dive headfirst into TOTAL BLISS AND WE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING!!! NO REQUESTING NO TALLYING VID COUNTS NO FRANTIC ENDLESS VOTING NO WORRYING AND ANGSTING IT'S JUST SUCH A MAGICAL INTERLUDE BECAUSE WE'RE SUDDENLY FREEEEEEEEEEE!!! WE CAN HAVE FUN AND FLAIL AND JUST WALLOW IN THE EPICNESS AND PRETEND THAT RL CRAP LIKE RADIO PDs DON'T EXIST!!!  WE'RE FREE TO SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!   (cue mys*&@^#r and rabbitrabbit telling us NOT TO FORGET to vote... ) I love this post. Thank you, seoulmate. |

I have been gone all through the excitement. It was excruciating. But it all got made up last night through meeting our lovely Nica575 in NY! She opened her home and heart to me and we watched the whole amazing show. We laughed and cried together but mainly I could see this miracle with someone from Atop. It meant so much to me. Adam has been such a force in bringing together community. I know I have a beautiful new friend in Nica and we will get together to share our great love for voice through Adam, opera and whatever else presents itself. THANK YOU NICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Thank you, theosgma! It was such a treat that you happened to be in NYC at the time of this epicness and you and I were able to share the joy of watching , berting, hugging and crying at the same moments! and WOW - so much in common! What a beginning! more to come, including opera! |

Seoulmate, I LOVE your post. I agree, you pinpointed it perfectly!! It felt nice to NOT worry or fight the uphill battle for a while, and take it all in, a moment where Adam was appreciated how we think he should always be.
Regarding the Queen!Adam versus Tresspass!Adam: I actually don't see the split being so neat. Especially in the second part of the Queen concert (e.g. Another One Bites the Dust), the funky, soulful Adam was in full force. I could see that version of AOBTD included in a Trespassing concert and seamlessly fit onto the playlist next to Shady, Trespassing, Cuckoo, etc.
I think it's great he's getting this experience - a growing experience for sure - so I look forward to seeing how this is going to impact his Trespassing performances/tour in the future.

I wonder who's the guy with the backpack?? A Sony guy or his management and he definitely has 2 bodyguards there .. very casual big guys. The dude with the backpack is Dana, Adam's Manager So Dana cleans up quite well... |
