Well, that is one way to get new faces in the front rows ... There were also a couple of Dutch glamberts in that que that were only going for their second show. They are now 6th/7th row because they had to change their e-tickets for solid tickets just because the venue couldn't handle the e-tickets at the scanners. It's not like they haven't been there whole day already and could have been told earlier. They had to make their way back to the ticket office to exchange it and then get in line again. It's stupid. Yes, very unfair. Also, even the ones that were at several shows and are there from 7/8 am in the queue are not getting front row, because those places go to the people who paid extra for Photo Op or Early Entry. These shows it is not possible to get first row without paying extra. Not saying that is unfair, because it is what it is. But to sell tickets that should be valid and then at the entrance being told that they are not, that is really sloppy organization.

Man! This is excellent German. He probably understands much more than he lets on, because this sentence is darn fluid. Way beyond just 'I took five lessons in high school...'. The strange thing is that it is southern sounding, which is not what he would have heard people say in and around Berlin, during his stay in 2003 there. He rolls the 'rrr' in the way that a Bavarian or Austrian would, if they were trying to speak high German, rather than their usual dialect. His 2003 stays in Munich, Mannheim and Linz, were supposedly each for only a couple of days, so I doubt that would have made such a difference. I would have assumed he picked up a Berliner accent, while there. But far from it. Maybe he took a few German classes while over there, and happened to have a teacher from the South of Germany. Who knows. But hearing this, I would be very cautious with German around Adam, if I wouldn't want him to understand me, lol. He probably can pick up much more of a conversation than we think. Just like in Spanish, which he also knows better than he lets on, I believe. Always humble, just like he is with other things. Quite amazing. I doubt his accent comes from a teacher, probably just comes from being a non native German speaker. I lived in Spain and was told I had a Sough American accent when speaking Spanish. Probably bc my Spanish was softer, not being a native. I don't speak Italian or Neapolitan with a Neapolitan accent, but my partner and my teacher is Neapolitan....Where an accent comes from when you learn a language....who knows.? Weird one that. Oh I am sure that he speaks and understands German way better than he lets on. I think it was during the Ghost Town promo that he was interviewed in German and answered a question without waiting for the translation. And what he did yesterday sounded pretty good too. With the Hair production he toured around, that was not just Berlin. He even got to the Netherlands with it. But I'm pretty sure his Dutch is nonexistent.

That's a pretty weird picture...
Actually, I kind of like the picture. The other ones on the link of the celebrities are a similar style. He seems to have something sticking out of his head. But then, he IS talking of GOT, where half the characters wind up with stuff sticking out of their bodies. Didn't know he followed the show. It really is an epic.
Loool no! Somebody stuck a pike through his head. Good practice for RHPS too!

Hiiiiiiii!
I am still alive!
Absolutely elated that I got to witness this tonight, and yet also very sad that after this for me #TOHtour is over.
Adam was so great tonight! It was such a treat to see him having fun on stage. I swear, if the tour would go on for another month he would just be talking an hour every evening. And I wouldn't mind either. Lol.
For me this tour was amazing, I laughed, I cried (a lot), I danced, I got cold and wet and then even colder (didn't think queueing in April would get this hard!), I met new people, saw people again, feasted my eyes and ears on that gorgeous gorgeous man. I explored parts of Europe that I had never been to before. Adam took me to my lowest lows and highest highs and I am so lucky that I was able to experience this. I am wearing the hoodie with Adam's picture right now, in bed, at 2 am and I'm never going to take it off.
I am so going to miss this.

Anyone from last night know what Terrance finds so funny here? [...] Hmm I missed this. Was completely focused on Adam at that point. It must have happend somewhere behind us as he's pointing right ahead and we were standing in front of him. It was something on the on stage monitor, but I coldn't make out what it was. It did have something to do with Adam saying 'well I am a big Queen fan' a little bit later in the band intro, because then they were pointing at it again.

Nice recap! I'll take it over those biased reviews! I second that! Thank you! Annnnd just to show that more than 3000 people can't be wrong (haven't had time to read the reviews, but apparently one or two reviewers can be wrong ) It was an awesome show with a Fan-Tas-Tic audience

How do I write a recap about last night? Once again this man leaves me at a loss for words. I queued from early in the morning, because I wanted a good spot, close to the stage, but most importantly, with a clear line of sight. Both in Amsterdam and Stockholm I was behind tall people. And I knew I shouldn't let that affect my enjoyment, but it changed the concert experience. I had two great shows though, being with a lot of good friends in Amsterdam and Adam touching me deep inside in Stockholm, like he never touched me before. But Copenhagen was otherworldly. My long day paid off and I found myself just behind the Early Entries, second row. Together with skaschep and mireille and it was so great to be able to share this with them too. The openers did exactly what they should do, warm up the audience. I liked them. Adam started out very forceful, but he was often fiddling with his ears, signing the sound guy. When he went offstage for the first time he was royally pissed off. I was so impressed with him, because the show was awesome, even during that start. He danced (such a good dancer!), he acted out the songs, these little gestures that make you suddenly see things behind the words that you hadn't seen before, he sang. It was amazing. But then he started to get chatty and by the time the third part of the show started he had the whole venue in the palm of his hand. Sexy SEXY playful Adam, and he got away with it all. Like a conductor with a magic baton he just took the audience with him on his trip, and oh, did we go willingly! I jumped and screamed and sang and he took me higher and higher. The best thing was to share that with thousands of people, hearing them roar after every song. It is unbelievable that I will get to do this again tomorrow, for the last time. My heart is full. Thank you again Adam, for bringing me such joy.
