I think the choice to omit a few key songs was very appropriate for this crowd and for this type of venue. You have to know your audience and the circumstances. Adam's ability to sing these big songs back to back amongst all the others is almost inhuman, uncanny and simply beyond belief. Freddie couldn't have done it at the same level, and Brian and Roger have said as much. He is just singing balls-out with every bone and muscle in his body. I never cease to be amazed. He is! My second MSG show I spent with my binoculars glued to Adam almost all the time,( my seat was at level 1, row 8 and it was aligned with the first row of the floor seats). His singing is an enormous, all consuming effort, well hidden by his ability to look effortless. It’s not. He left all on that stage. As a side note :I could see his face when he faced away from the audience - he would take a sip of his drink, talk to the sound tech over his stage mic and the rest of the time he was trying to crack Roger up - made funny faces at him, gestured and mouthed stuff, obviously lots of “inside” stuff going on there. No wonder Roger called touring with Adam “hilarious “.

I just saw the last night’s set list (end of yesterday’s thread) and I’m absolutely amazed - Adam did WWTLF and TSMGO one after another, no break! It’s inhuman imo.
Re attendance - Brian mentioned in one of his posts leading to this event that they’d expected about 300k to be there…
the fireworks at the end provided such a great ending to the show and the whole event!

I’m looking for any MSG review by a NYC based publication. Did anyone come across those? I see none by NYT, NY Post or anything else for that matter.

Adam shared a couple of posts re the situation in Israel, and while his intentions are good, I believe he isn’t fully informed. I agree whole-heartedly with the notion that one atrocity should not lead to another, but the post that was shared here states as a fact that fleeing Palestinians were bombed by Israeli forces. That has not been corroborated, and there is another theory that says the road had been boobytrapped by Hamas, as they are known to do. It is sad that a post which presumes to bring clarity, recites what could amount to Hamas propaganda. I hate to bring politics to this board, but this post, like all others I’ve seen, does not offer an alternative and better course of action. Adam also reposted an ultra orthodox Jew saying how Jews and Arabs had always lived peacefully side by side, until Zionism came along. While it may be so, his underlying conclusion is that Zionism is bad and Israel should not exist. He’s part of a section of the Ultra Orthodox that believe Israel should only be resurrected at the coming of the Messiah. I’m quite sure that is not Adam’s position. http://instagram.com/p/Cyc1JINgz8z thank you for your post, katycake. Frankly, I am surprised and appalled by Adam reposting that nonsense.

The bike is now a very special piece of art in its own right! Wow!
I want the crown back!
Brian had some interesting outfits too, but I’m waiting for some clear pics.
Loved the addition of the World We Created = so timely and poignant, hope it survives thru the tour.
everyone is in great shape, Adam is absolutely spectacular vocally and visually!
For how Long will the white jacket sleeves will survive you think? Till the end of the tour at least? Lol

Sounded and looked stupendous!
I counted SEVEN different outfits from the FB stream and other pics. Correct? But no crown? May be he did add it to the absolutely gorgeous white outfit at the end? Hope so
