Here's my recap of last night's concert. I'll also be attending Friday and Saturday nights' concerts. I feel so very lucky and blessed to be seeing and hearing Adam in person again!
The Venetian Theatre is lovely and has great acoustics. The way in went very smoothly - they had several people checking your vaccination credentials and ID, and surprisingly, they didn't look through your purses/bags. Many helpful folks to guide you to your seat. It was pretty much a full house, with only a small number of empty seats that I could see. An enthusiastic crowd, obviously many fervent Glamberts in attendance.
Adam was in fine form, and he definitely seemed to gain momentum and energy as the concert progressed. No Can't Let You Go - I was crushed. Hopefully he will sing it either Friday or Saturday night. The highlight of the night for me was Underneath - he had me in tears. It's the first time that I have heard him sing it live. One of my all time favorite Adam songs, and like WWTLF, it really showcases his incredible vocal ability, and makes me incredibly emotional. The band was great, but seemed really loud from where I was sitting (row M, middle section), especially the drums. So great to see Cam again!!
The background lights and videos were a little distracting for me, but obviously Adam put a lot of time and effort into making this a first rate show. Other highlights in addition to Underneath were the Runnin/Chokehold/Sleepwalker medley (how I love Runnin!), Superpower, Ring of Fire, Another One Bites the Dust, Marry the Night, Roses, and the list goes on and on! What a great setlist spanning so much of his history as a recording artist and performer. His speech was heartfelt and very personal, acknowledging his appreciation for his devoted fans. Loved the inclusion of some Queen songs. He really rocked out to Stone Cold Crazy! WWFM as the encore was also superb. I just wanted the concert to keep going on and on, and as always when I see him live, I was emotionally spent after it was over. Can't wait for my next two shows!
I hadn't watched any videos before this concert, and as difficult as that was, I was very glad that I didn't. It makes my concert experience so much more special and exciting when I'm hearing and seeing it for the first time. So happy that those of you who can't be in Vegas will be able to enjoy the live streams!! Believe me, this is a concert you won't forget!!

OMG!!! I'm in heaven right now seeing the setlist for Vegas. I'm going to his three shows next week, and I just can't believe that he'll be singing Can't Let You Go - one of my very favorite Adam songs. It's a dream come true - just hope the setlist remains the same for all of the shows. Also Underneath! Another one of my very favorites. I don't let myself listen to live streams or watch videos, which is so hard to do! I want it be a fresh experience for me when I'm actually seeing it all live and in person. So glad the Venetian Theatre has put those health restrictions in place. Makes me feel much safer to be attending the concerts - I was thinking about selling my tickets before they instituted those requirements. I'm able to drive to Vegas instead of flying there, which also makes me feel safer about making the trip. My DH won't be coming with me - he really appreciates Adam, and has attended several concerts with me, but he enjoys seeing him with Queen much more than Adam's solo concerts. Also, DH is staying behind to care for our sick kitty who has advanced chronic kidney disease. So glad that Adam is live streaming that one show so those who can't attend any of his concerts live can "be" there! Clash last night was so much fun. Adam is such a fantastic judge. Glamberts are in Adam overload!

I found it on Amazon, Animaldoc, but who put that out? I don't remember us talking about it, did we? I can't find who produced that, and I don't want to buy something else that's trying to rip off Adam, like that fake album that he said was without his permission. I don't have the answers to your questions, svca. I bought the CD so long ago that I don't remember how I found out about it. I don't remember Adam saying anything about this particular compilation CD. I just know that it contains some of my favorite Adam songs, and I have both the CD and the mp3 as well for my iPod. And maybe it was a bonus track on one of his albums too? Can't remember that either! Maybe others here know more about it?

Can't Let You Go is one of, if not my absolute favorite song of Adam's...and sadly never recorded. I have it on my IPod, and I can't remember where I got it. I know there used to be somebody that had a website with all of Adam's pre-Idol music that could be downloaded...can't remember the name though. All I know is that at the time I absolutely HAD TO HAVE every single piece of music that Adam had ever sung. I was totally obsessed lol. Wouldn't it be amazing if he sang that live? I've listened to that song so many times, even though the recording of it is less than crystal clear. The rawness of it, the growls, the anguish in his voice...the way he sings it just gives me shivers. One place you can find "Can't Let You Go" is on a CD that was released in 2014: Playlist: The Very Best of Adam Lambert. Also includes "Mad World", "One" and "Tracks of My Tears" from Idol, among other songs, including "Runnin". Just looked - you can still purchase that CD on Amazon. "Can't Let You Go" is also one of my very favorite songs of Adam's, and if I ever heard him sing it live, I would think I had died and truly gone to heaven. I seem to remember someone who was involved with that recording saying that Adam was on his knees singing part of it. Yes, svca, it too gives me shivers every time I listen to it!

Thanks so much Tinafea! I too posted a tribute on Deb's obituary site. So very sad that she was taken much too soon. Deb, how we will miss you here!

Just catching up with yesterday's thread, and read the news about Deb. Like many others here, I am stunned and so saddened by this news. Because she hadn't been posting much lately, I was very worried about her, and was wondering how she was doing with her chemo. As a native of the Detroit, Michigan area (l moved away from the state many years ago), I felt a certain kinship with her, and was so hoping to meet her in Vegas. She was certainly a shining light on this forum, and we all will miss her upbeat attitude and her unwavering love for Adam. I'm so hoping that this news isn't true, but with her twitter picture being the same as her avi here, it seems to be the case. Any updates about her would be much appreciated.

When I just logged on and saw the ring picture, I had the same reaction. Great minds think alike!

What has happened to Adam? Is he sick or 40 got him hard? I haven’t seen him for a while.... May I please ask what the point is behind your post? What does "40 got him hard" even mean? I'm guessing you're looking to stir up some controversy, but why? I'm trying to understand your motivation behind this post. Are you bored and looking for debate? dare2bdifferent, as a cat lover, I love your avi!! Please post more often!!

So wonderful to hear a new song by Adam!!! As many have commented, it is a complicated song, with so many lyrics and many twists and turns. Adam is just about the only singer who could pull it off in such fabulous fashion. LOVE it!!! So, so glad that he was included in this very important and informative project. YAY ADAM!!!
