    Good Morning! Sun

    It’s just after 8am here and I just got up 5 minutes ago and missed your very touching global party, sharing the concert together and the group hug. The comradery, love and respect for one another is wonderful to see! I too still marvel that today’s technology makes it possible for this to happen.

    It really seems like only a few weeks ago that Adam and Queen were on Good Morning America when Adam excitedly announced that they were going on tour. Only a few weeks ago and tomorrow is the last show! I’ll never come to terms with time.

    After a new show, the clips I always go to first are WWTLF and STL, too. I see that more than a few of us feel the same way.

    I can’t get kiwifever’s audio links to play on my end. It indicates “buffering” but I don’t see anything happening and nothing does. Oh well …

    So glad that everyone here had such a good time during the show! SOOOO look forward to hearing from Kiwi.

    He breathes lifes into song with power and depth, and sensivitivity. he may turn out to be the most important singer that ever lived

    Love this.

    @Cher.. hope you had a good sleep.
    Oh ya the Queen tribute concert in Singapore is different, it is called Queen-it’s a kind of magic.

    ETA: this tribute group is australian based.

  7. eywflyer says:

    Added recorded stream links above from oliebol. The first one runs from A Kind of Magic through Bohemian Rhapsody, the second one is the encore.

    I’ve always thought it was really cool that Adam has fans from all over the world. Even our little blog had folks online from around the globe tonight during the show.

  8. eywflyer says:

    Article about QE, apologies if already posted on the September thread:
    http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2014/09/03/marc-martel-paradise-premiere/14996237/

    “In my opinion, Queen has the current best male singer in the world singing for them,” Martel says of Lambert.

    With Queen wrapping its tour with Lambert tonight in Australia, Martel will begin a Queen Extravaganza tour of the U.K. on Friday. Later this fall, he hopes to tour with his own music

    Hopefully the QE tour will be long over with by next spring, clearing the way for another round of Q+AL.

    For those who are hungry…
    “oliebol” is a dutch word for a certain type of food
    see… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliebol

  10. Axxxel says:

    @eywflyer: about global fans… it reminds me of Simon Cowell’s words during the finals of Season 8 about American Idol finding in Adam someone with international appeal.

  11. eywflyer says:

    Ron, did you try refreshing the audio links a few times? I was able to get them to work by refreshing after they got stuck on buffering the first couple of times.

    Was just listening to WWTLF – most beautiful rendition I’ve heard yet. Can’t wait to see the video of that one.

    HK Fan, I’m hoping to visit Hong Kong sometime in the next couple of years. It’s not such a long distance from Honolulu and I’ve always wanted to go there. We’ll have to meet up when I get over there! Have you ever been to Hawaii?

    Hi eywflyer! SO good to see you posting!!

    Looks like I could refresh the page with kiwifever’s audios all day and they still won’t play.

    I’ll just have to wait for YouTube but thanks for trying to help me out!

  13. eywflyer says:

    Hi Ron! And just like that, the first video that pops up is WWTLF! Now posted above for your viewing pleasure.

  15. nkd says:

    eywflyer, the kiwifever recorded links above are from Sept 1.
    Still very good however!

  16. Ron says:

    Laugh Yes, I see eywflyer. Wink

    Gee, sometimes if you really wish hard enough for something … it happens!

    Smile

  17. eywflyer says:

    Thanks nkd, I corrected the links above for kiwifever. We now have the entire concert except for the first part of I Want It All, which had stream problems requiring her to reset.

    Hi eywflyer…no I have never been to Hawaii….have only been to the States once, stayed with friends just outside LA…about 11 years ago now, and South America once….
    Would be great to see you if you make it to HK…

  19. HK fan says:

    Marc Martel also says this in the article

    went to see their show in New York, and the dude does not strain or miss a single note. He’s an incredible virtuoso.

    That WWTLF is just stunning, one of the best yet.

    Just saw this on Adamtopia:

    kiwifever
    Yes, will stream again tomorrow for the last one of the tour.

    Another WWTLF… better sound, and really shows the amazing effect of the disco ball over the audience

    Good Morning folks. Rose

    Wow, so great to see what a fantastic time you all have been having! Looks like it was an awesome stream and an INCREDIBLE concert.

    I was stoked & ready last night to join here in the stream …. excited for my return and waiting patiently for my little virtual music visit to Auckland & Aller camaraderie ….
    Next thing I know – it’s 6:45am, I’m still in the same position on the couch with laptop beside me, slept through the alarm and dashing around to get everyone off to school. Alas… having missed – yet, again – another incredible concert & stream. Was just too beat after the vacation and the long trip back…
    (chuckling from the irony… tired from vacation. Or simply, the life of a mother? Wink)

    So tonight! I’m there, come meteor event or the apocalypse…
    I’m not missing it. After all ….. Big Frown …. it is the last one.
    (this year, anyway).

    And what a party it’s going to be! Hopefully,
    we’ll All be able to show up here for that one. Grin SuspenseListening to MusicPartyMusic NoteStar

    That WWTLF…. Dear God… one of the best.

    LOVE, Love how Adam has played with the nuances in this one. He has perfected this beautiful, haunting reverie beyond perfection… and I believe, made it his own. It’s simply ethereal… Stunning in every sense.

    And lawwwdddyyy….. the man in those pants. How can a gal take it any longer!?
    The visuals in the above WWTLF’s… along with Adam’s stellar vocal craftsmanship… simply stupefying!

    I cant even imagine what Kiwi must be feeling – wow! Can hardly wait to hear from her about these events. Jump

    I just watched the Official Queen video of WWTLF with Freddie. It was so dramatic, with Freddie bathed in a white light and a children’s choir. I know that QAL has the lights and the silver ball, but they just seem to concentrate the attention on Adam and Brian, and the magnificent purity of the voices (human and guitar). They don’t need all that other stuff (although I did like Roger’s big drums on the old video). I really don’t think that it is just because I am a Glambert, but I this case, Adam has Freddie beat my a country mile. Here is the original:

    Night everyone, see you bright and early for tomorrow’s show.
