As July ends, so does a fantastic series of concerts by Queen and Adam across North America. It will be a summer that many ALLers will never forget! Q+AL take a few weeks break before heading off to Asia and then for concerts Down Under. If the reception there is anything like it was here, Q+AL can expect to get some major loving!

Enjoy the chat!

    Hmmm, wonder why those months?!? Wink
    Congrats ALL you positive posting people! Clap

  14. rs says:

    From an interview with Eli Lieb. I just love it when other artists talk like this about Adam Smile:

    There have been rumors you’re collaborating with Adam Lambert. Any truth to that?
    Yeah! I don’t know what I can really say, but we’ve definitely had some studio time together. Adam is, honestly, one of the most genuine people I’ve met in my whole time being in L.A. He’s just a rare person. He is so talented, but as a person, he’s very kind, generous, humble and down-to-earth.

  15. cwm says:

    Love that quote from Eli about Adam, thanks rs. Eli is a sweet guy.

    And smalls, thanks for your lovely post about ALL on the July thread. You were so sweet and articulate about what you value here. Thank you for your appreciation of the positive and loving community spirit we have quite deliberately tried to create here, around Adam and with each other. It really is a treasure. I look forward to meeting you sometime!

  16. cwm says:

    Speaking of lovely things being said about Adam, was this posted yet? This is what Nile said in Adam’s birthday book. It is soooo sweet and loving, just wonderful.

    So many delicious gifs…

    To start with, there’s this one that I’m not sure has been posted yet. Even if it has, it deserve reposting for August. Cause it is HOT HOT HOT! Ridiculously sexy. Gawd, I actually feel like I’m watching Adam porn. Boy doesn’t leave much to the imagination, does he? *gulp* Dragon Attack from Toronto2:

    http://lilybop.smugmug.com/Other-31/Toronto-2/i-hssFmX2/0/M/GIF%20DA%2015lg%20T2%20bohemian%20queen%20lilybop-M.gif

    nkd kindly posted this amazing gif earlier, but it deserves a re-post. I am mesmerized by his flicking fingers, which, I think, is a sign that he is really lost in the music.

    http://lilybop.smugmug.com/Other-31/MD/i-4GHNZGX/0/M/GIF%20WWTLF%20Z%20MD%20patty%20potts%20lilybop-M.gif

    And of course Adam naughtily fanning his crotch, which mils previous posted. His face!!

    And then there is this gem, from Somebody to Love in Montreal. Hard to believe how Adam can be both so amazingly gorgeous and ridiculous at the same time:

    http://instagram.com/p/rIF0xFH1g9/

    This instagram vid produced this amazing photo, which I absolutely love (and would love to see up top if you were of a mind to add any additional photos, AL Smile ):

    https://twitter.com/Jadelle1/status/494959440681259008/photo/1

    Here is a vid of that Montreal STL performance, so you can see how the whole scene plays out, starting at 4:03.

    Sooooo many delicious treats and goodies to keep us munching on for days. Razz

    ETA: I also posted these links to their respective threads (Toronto2 and Montreal).

  18. rs says:

    Hi cwm Waving Glad to see that you are still up. WOW! That first gif, I hadn’t seen it before. Looks like Brian can’t take his eyes away from Adam either, lol. RL has forced itself on me and I haven’t been able to continue the process of editing my photos, but I promise to get back to it as soon as I can and will continue to send goodies to AL for posting here as I find them.

  19. luval says:

    Maybe we’ve seen this. Theater nerds.

    Thank you for your kind words, cwm. I feel the exact same way.
    Looking forward to meeting you as well! Rose
    I sense awesome times and wonderful memories ahead of us Smile Big Smile

    And that first GIF!? (& perhaps even the 2nd)
    That one needs to come with a warning label….
    ‘Caution: Extremely ***Flammable***’
    It’s Intense!

    Adam porn. Lol. Shame on us Evil Grin

  24. asmallworld says:

    AL, your picture choices are outstanding.
    LOVE them. That last silhouette profile one is especially gorgeous.
    Thank you for starting our August off right! YesClap

  25. asmallworld says:

    luval & mils,
    I have posted my Adam “awakening”…. the when and wheres…
    the whys and wherefores… the hows and whos…
    In the ‘Glambert & Recap Thread’.
    I included more detail than I originally intended and gathered it may belong there.
    (It turned out being more than a bone I tossed, mils – more like the skeleton. lol)

    Thank you for asking me to share it. Hope you enjoy Smile

  26. TLKC says:

    Rumours on Queen blogs that QAL will perform at O2 (Wembley) for two nights in November. Could be a pile of baloney but it has me nervous because I cannot get off work in the first half of November under any circumstances. Not saying that I would definitely go but it would be nice to have the choice.

    I don’t know if you remember but we actually had a game on MJ’s about taking the plane together to Wembley.

    Nothing beats a UK audience for Queen and Wembley is the jewel in the crown, as UK venues go.

    Maybe it’s not true, or the dates are wrong….

    Start putting away $10 a day.

  27. asmallworld says:

    rs & cwm, it felt good to read those endearing and super kind words to and about Adam from Niles and Eli.

    If Adam never gains another dime… To have this type of esteem and respect given to him from his friends, peers and mentors… is among the richest of blessings that many among the wealthiest persons could only hope to obtain.

  28. ultimathule says:
  29. glambotgram says:

    Oh AL thank you for the beautiful pictures. Love the big one, it is so ethereal.

    cwm, those gifs, holy moley, I am at work how am I supposed to get anything done? Evil Grin

  30. ultimathule says:
  31. rs says:

    I am going on a Rhine River cruise in November, from the 8th to the 17th (I think). With my past luck, I might be able to combine this trip with a hop over to London to catch a QAL concert at Wembley. Clap Clap

  32. TLKC says:

    Looks as though every single former Idol is being asked about Adam in interviews. Constantine Maroulis finally likes Adam:

    http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6204617/american-idol-constantine-maroulis-rock-of-ages

    http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/idol-worship/american-idol-alum-constantine-maroulis-722662

    Don’t know which publication is ripping which but the gist is that Constantine probably doesn’t think that Adam is a second tier Idol male alum anymore.

    ETA: Oops! Cher posted this in the July. I’m going to leave it though, because it isn’t every day a former Adam detractor has to eat his words. Constantine did man up quite nicely though, so good for him.

    Waiting for someone to ask Clay.

  33. TLKC says:

    So, rs, perhaps you can join me in a heartfelt prayer to the gods that the possible O2 concert happens AFTER November 17th. I have a November 14th event – can be on a Airplane any time after that. Big Smile

  34. jlurksacto says:

    Looking over the blog posters, I see some that probably don’t
    have the Kiev concert DVD (and others). If y’all would like
    one/them, please email me at jlurksacto@yahoo.com. (sparkle?,
    asmallworld, Kiwi, etc)

  35. AL says:

    Saw this on the last bits of the July thread and thought that it might be good to put here. Check out smalls‘ post on the Glambert & Recap Thread if you have not done so already.

  36. nkd says:

    Thank you asmallworld for your becoming a fan of the man recollection. I enjoyed it immensely, and it got me wondering what all you have tapped in to.

    I don’t think the O2 is Wembley. It’s an indoor arena with capacity for 20,000.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_O2_Arena

    There is a Wembley arena (indoor, capacity 12,500), next to Wembley Stadium (outdoor, capacity 90,000). Checked on Google.

    20,000 sounds about like the venues they did in NA. But London in November? *shivers* *digs out winter Scotland silk thermals again*

  40. rs says:

    asmallworld, you have, like all of us here, the Adam Lambert Gene! Even if it sits dormant for a few years, because of RL interference, it is reactivated by renewed exposure to THE VOICE. We can’t escape it, and the sooner we realize that its benefits (unexplainable physical joy and ecstasy in response to hearing Adam’s voice, wonderful new friends, new previously undreamt of, or undared, travel and adventures, FUN, and much more) greatly outweigh the occasional downside (embarrassment around non understanding family and friends, need for secrecy when taking time off from work, dwindling bank accounts because of so much travel and expensive tickets), the better and the faster we can just relax and take it all in.

    I loved your story. Everyone is different. but we all share so many of the same feelings. I remember he absolutely incredible feeling when I discovered that I wasn’t alone in my feelings for Adam, and living where I do, there really was no one I could speak to about it. And cher will be delighted that you rediscovered him through TFM. It is one of her favorites.

    We are very lucky that we have ALL. I can’t imagine that I would have lasted, been anywhere nearly as active, or made the real friends that I have, on any other less gentle, tolerant, or accepting site.

    And dear nkd, thanks for the FS WLL. It has always been one of my greatest favorites. And I am sorry that I didn’t get to say a proper goodbye to you in Baltimore. I just assumed that we would see each other in the morning, and then I was on my way to the train and flying home. I am so glad that we had a chance to spend real quality time together this trip. And your suggestions for our 3 hour lunch and after show meal were perfect!

  41. riskylady says:

    So well expressed, rs, as usual! Missed you mightily at Toronto#2, would have been so nice to have you in our sturdy little group hanging on the fence around the thrust.

    While we’re sharing gifs, just love this one of Adam naughtily taunting Brian. Brian must have a PhD in “powers of concentration” to keep on task with this kind of teasing going on lolol.

    Awww, sparkle it was so nice to meet and chat with you for a few mins in our humble and tiny ‘hospitality suite’ after Toronto #1. I don’t think I did chat with your husband – too bad for me. There were so many people that I’d never met before and I’m cr*p with remembering names , but I certainly remember bubbly you .

    I’m all Scottish, ‘cept for my German mother . She hated chilly Scotland and that’s why we came to Canada when I was a teenager. I love my homeland, and visit there as often as possible and often dream of Scottish foods like currant crumpets, scones, toffee and tablet…….. . Yep, I am the proud possessor of a huge sweet tooth and a Scottish accent, still .
    Now, if only Queenbert would come to Scotland, I could kill 2 birds………..

    Welcome smalls I don’t post here terribly often, but I’m usually checking in for tidbits of news and drop-to-the-floor gorgeous pics of Mr.Longlegs&sexybum

    (I’ve carried this over from July Thread – where did July go……I wasn’t ready for August yet ;(.

  43. rs says:

    Oh how I wish I could have been there risky! I was there is spirit. But I am so very glad that you got to be up close for one concert, and the final one at that! I did get to be by the stage for 2 out of my three concerts, something that I could have never believed possible in he past.

    Today has been a very difficult day here, one of the worst. I needed something to take my mind off of RL for a bit. Thanks.

  44. angelowal says:

    AL Such super choices for the photos up top Smile Love that big one Hypnotized thank-you Smile .

  45. riskylady says:

    Oh, sorry to hear that, rs. Will email you tomorrow (leaving for twins just now). And, prepping for first cataract surgery Monday (YIKES! DO NOT LIKE SURGERY OF ANY KIND.)

    AL, loving all the pics up top!

    asmallworld, really enjoyed your recounting of your journey to Adam – so beautifully written.
    And, it’s very comforting to have another psychologist in-house! Evil Grin Evil Grin

  47. TLKC says:

    I don’t think the O2 is Wembley. It’s an indoor arena with capacity for 20,000.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_O2_Arena

    My bad riskylady! A UK cousin told me that Wembley was renamed O2 and I believed him. Just did a check and you, of course, are right. (Retrospectively, he must have meant that O2 had replaced Wembley as the “go to” venue, if their wiki stats are anything to go by.)

    At any rate, I think that rumour must be false because it said Wembley STADIUM, not arena. In NOVEMBER. Not even a Scot would brave an outdoor concert in November (not this Scot anyway.) Methinks not even a sizeable flask of 12-year-old glenfiddich could breach the chill. Pretty sure that angelowal will confirm that.

    Also two back-to-back concerts in a 90,000 capacity venue is a bit far-fetched.

    So next summer then…. Laugh

  48. nkd says:

    rs…you’re welcome! Wink Devil

    I’m so glad that we got to spend more time together this trip. It was lovely getting to know you better. I too am sorry we didn’t get a proper good-bye but I was relieved to hear that you had made it home safely, although to such family sadness and turmoil. Please stay safe! Heart

  49. nkd says:

    All the best with your eye surgery riskylady.
