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!

    riskylady, I too wish you all the best with your cataract surgery. I have to get that done soon too, so I’d be really interested in hearing of your experience. Just think how amazingly great Adam would have looked to us if we’d been able to see more clearly Cool !

  2. Kiwi says:

    Thanks for the offer of The Kiev Video jlurksacto. I actually learned how to download and convert to DVD because of Adam, so yes I do have the concert. But it was very thoughtful to think of me. I have made it (almost) my life’s work to collect every performance by Mr. Lambert and have it all on DVD in chronological order….(with a back up copy).
    My go to shows are idol, red rock, ten commandments, London Showcase, Hammersmith (split pants),Is this love (Australia),Titanium duet and any/all the latest Q+AL offerings

    new interview with the Huff Post.

    I think I will have to wait until I get back home to check all these wonderful sounding gifs that keep getting posted…..they just don’t seem to be moving when I load them here, or the slowest moves possible…don’t think the French internet can cope with him.

    Love what Eli Leib had to say about Adam. He;s another one (along with Frerras), who I heard about through Adam, have just put several of his songs on my ipod Great voice and sound.

    Sorry to hear real life’s so hard at the moment rs…we’re all keeping you in our thoughts and hearts. stay safe xx

  7. rs says:

    Thanks for your concern HK Fan. And thanks to everyone who has expressed concern. I am staying safe. It I so much more than my own personal safety that worries me. I sent an email to you and a few others. Nuff said here. Going to sleep.

  8. milwlovesadam says:

    smalls, loved your autobiography of becoming a Glambert. I also loved reading your affection for this corner of fandom. You fit like a glove here.

    Wonder what your live show was?

  9. milwlovesadam says:

    rs I responded back to your email. You have all my best wishes at this horrible time. My family is OK for now too.

  10. glambotgram says:

    smalls loved the story of your Adam journey. What strikes me so often when reading or hearing people’s stories is how alike they are, and how alike we are. We all fell hard, we questioned ourselves, we researched, we gave in, and then tried to find a place for this and some peeps to share this amazing feeling with. It is what lead us all here to this home away from home. I love it.

  11. milwlovesadam says:

    And, hey, I do feel like I owe an apology to any of us that were in earshot of my rant in Toronto about the current situation in Israel, I am sorry for waxing political on our fun trip. I guess Adam re-tweeting that piece of propaganda video, got under my skin.

  12. glambotgram says:

    rs thinking if you, so sorry for what is going on in your world. Please be safe and know we are holding you and your family in our hearts.

  13. milwlovesadam says:

    In other news, my state supreme court yesterday upheld the same-sex registry law, and this is felt to be a step toward over-turning the state constitutional amendment against gay marriage. And to help with the national fight.

  14. glambotgram says:

    Lol I am watching last nights AGT and Howie Mandel has on Adam’s lightening bolt T shirt from Toronto night out.

  15. milwlovesadam says:

    Oooh. Glambot, that’s like the second or third time Howie has worn what Adam wears!!

    Needless to say we know who wears it better.

  16. glambotgram says:

    Yeah nobody wears anything as well as Adam.

  17. luval says:

    glambotgram…lol I saw Howie Mandel too with that on. Wanted to post a picture of him but couldn’t find one at the time!

    Move up to 4:08 to see the shirt

  18. milwlovesadam says:

    Going out tonight. I have a favor to ask. Does anyone have the link to that interview with Roger from NZ that had praise for our guy?

    And does anyone have the text of what Nile said in the birthday book? I can’t get it to open for me.

    Thanks.

  19. milwlovesadam says:

    Elvis Duran was pimping Ferras HARD today on the radio. He played two songs and was singing his praises. You just know that Adam’s name came up in private convo, but not on the air.

    I just wish that sometime someone would make the link publicly about Adam, Katy Perry, Ferras, Jai Rodriguez and others all knowing each other from back in their LA club kid days. It would make a cute People Magazine article. Don’t ‘ya think?

  20. nkd says:

    mils, can you open this?

    A picture of the letter.

  21. milwlovesadam says:

    Nope. Won’t open for me. Thanks nkd. That’s why I asked.

    Gotta go now. It’s a huge storm. Have to go drive in it. Yuck.

  22. glambotgram says:
  23. luval says:

    mils..know your are going out but here 24/7’s article & copy of the letter. Hope you can open this

  24. luval says:

    Will I ever like any song that Adam tweets out? Smile Finally, Happy Little Pill is a keeper for me.

  25. luval says:

    Spoiler alert. Calendar page by page flip. Still waiting for mine. youtube with Broken English in the background. Sorry if it was posted. I missed it.

    Maybe I should listen. I don’t even open most of the stuff he tweets anymore.

  28. glambotgram says:

    Maybe I should listen. I don’t even open most of the stuff he tweets anymore.

    THIS^ I don’t either. Smile

  29. luval says:

    haha you guys…I open every song that he tweets and know immediately whether I like it or not. And it’s usually not. Big Smile That Bang Bang song…nope. I get worried that his new stuff is going to sound like some of these songs. But Happy Little Pill sounds almost like Adam could be singing it.

  30. Ginger says:

    Riskylady & Angelowal FYI I had cataract surgery a few years ago and it was easy. Had one eye done one week and the other the next. No pain after and I can see without glasses. Did not realize I was so blind. You will do great. Big Smile

  31. luval says:

    And thanks for posting that Roger Taylor interview. When it first was posted, it cut out midway. It was great!

  32. nkd says:

    Only got half of therock interview to play after reloading several times. Each time I got an additional few seconds.
    Loved the second one though!

  33. nkd says:

    I like “Happy Little Pill” also.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXeKoGx9zoM
    If anyone wants to listen.

  34. nkd says:

    “BANG BANG” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31GdGhYwgNI
    Jessie J, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj
    Can’t think of three female artists that annoy me more! Laugh
    I kind of like the song though.

  35. luval says:

    Can’t think of three female artists that annoy me more!

    haha I agree! Used to like Jesse J but I don’t know what happened!

    That was very kind of you, and I thank you for the encouraging words. I must admit I am rather afraid of having my eyes touched and you’ve made me feel less anxious – I’m sure risky agrees Smile.

  37. sparkle says:

    Long day – angelowal – my daughter and I made this chex mix with lemon curd and white chocolate and powered sugar – yummy! When we travel to Scotland, I love the desserts – the apple crumble with warm custard! To die for! Saw another preview for Outlander – my daughter and I are definitely in and hubby may watch for the WWI scenes. Getting excited for it! I don’t see myself as having a bubbly personality but I was on Adam adrenaline at the afterparty so I could have appeared that way! smalls – absolutely LOVED your glambert story! cwm – I know you think that puckerface pic was put up top for you but really AL figured out what I was saying around this time last night. Excellent job, AL in finding the one that didn’t belong and then replacing it. Thanks, AL!!

  38. angelowal says:

    I don’t like most of the music that Adam tweets about. I wonder if he really likes it or is just being kind and supportive to his friends……..and is there any artist out there who’s less egocentric than Adam?

  39. sparkle says:

    Sweet Adam Adrenaline or Happy Little Pill Dreams, ALL!!

  40. angelowal says:

    sparkle That lemon dessert sounds fab!!! I make lemon curd; just lemon juice, sugar, eggs and sweet butter – so good, but not exactly lo-cal Wink
    I hope we can access Outlander here in Canada. The US has so many more cable networks than we do. I can probably catch it via the internet though – fingers crossed, but how are they ever going to cast the inimitable Jamie?

  41. angelowal says:

    This is interesting: Documentary about Nile Rogers and his influential song writing/performing career since the 70’s

  42. Kiwi says:

    Has anyone else posted this. It is supposed to be on a train after one of the Q+AL concerts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO9zumIavfk#t
    See, this is what a Q+AL concert does to (probably) usually normal people!

  43. cher says:

    That’s funny kiwi! Thanks! Big Smile

    BTW were u able to get tix for both nights in NZ? Grin

    Have you perhaps gotten a look at Fantasy Springs Whole Lotta Love? Hypnotized Sweat
    Here’s the multi-cam version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ljb_JsvUEc

    nkd! Ahhhh!!!
    What have you done to me with this video?!?!
    Sweat In Love Sweat In Love Razz

    {OK, smalls. Calm down. Gather yourself… Deeeep breaths. Breathe… breathe…}

    Good Lord, I almost died. Hypnotized
    It’s a wonder I survived. ;D
    Make no mistake…I am not the same. Nope, not over it.

    I mean, really…IS there ANYthing any sexier?!?
    (only thing close may be Dragon Attack?)

    Ahhhh, our dear Adam… only you know how to make love to an entire audience
    with just one song. xoxoxo
    (Puddy, I tell you. Whew.)

    Now, I’d be grossly remiss here if I didn’t attempt to state what you all already know: What a real masterpiece that performance is. Musically, vocally, visually.
    Every single nuance of that song…everything it could possibly ever become….
    Adam squeezed it, massaged it, caressed it, covered it with dripping honey and made it part of that live performance.
    My take:
    -Best of Adam’s live performances (pre-QAL era).
    -Best possible performance of that song.
    (Not possible for it to be sung better. No way. uh uh.)
    -Among the best of all live performances. Period.

    How on earth I’ve managed to miss this little power-packed treasure all these years is beyond any reason.

    But, hey. No point in my fretting. It’s here. I’m here.
    And we’re all together now.
    …This little Adam delicacy, my little phone & moi.Grin

    Thank you, my dear nkd!!
    Such a delightful gift! Rose *hugs*

  45. Kiwi says:

    I am only going to the first NZ show. I’m happy with that as I will have already been to both concerts in Melbourne. The 2nd show sold out even quicker than the first and still a lot of people missed out.
    Sorry to appear a bit thick, but did you mean for me to e-mail jlurksacto???

  46. cher says:

    Riskylady and angelowal! As Ginger said it’s not anything that difficult. Just make sure you have a doctor whose hands are very steady Laugh and it’ll just take a few minutes. You are very much awake and they clamp your eyes open and it’s over in no time. Don’t let them convince you to buy any special lens or anything that’ll be expensive out of pocket like they usually try to do.
    I had one eye done about 4 years ago at a fairly young age for cataracts and it was very embarrassing at the outpatient center when several nurses and techs kept coming over to me to see if I was in the right section because I was with all the older people removing cataracts. Cry My vision in that eye has been great since. My mother didn’t have her cataracts out until a year later. Frown

  47. cher says:

    I am glad you got tix for at least one. I read that they had 73,000 calls for tickets for that concert in two days? Crazy!

  48. Kiwi says:

    I’m happy to e-mail, but how do I do that?

  49. cher says:

    I don’t get Happy Little Pill nor the Bang Bang song either. Adam’s just too nice.

    Kiwi, was Lynne able to get tix for the concert(s) too? They were on sale during MSG so she was hoping her niece would get one for her. IDK
