Feeling fierce Mr . Lambert?

RL had me bad in the last couple of weeks, but this AOBTD is just what the doctor prescribed! I love this more subdued but so intense slow walk forward in the beginning. (And we know he has his hip thrusts down pat.)

You can see how the crowd was standing and really into it at the end of WATC – just great –
true?
I just watched & I didn’t see that. He was down on the floor in his usual dramatic way.

Another IWIA – vanglam76
Was this from the end of TSMGO then?
http://instagram.com/p/yvWiMEnejo/
I hereby nominate this as the best, best of all, WWTLF.
I literally have tears in my eyes, I cannot believe the power majesty beauty of this. After all the times I’ve heard this song, I am nearly wiped out by this version. Un-Real.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=0gAUYd2WC5o
ITA mils I have watched it several times already, and the beginning of IWIA where he is trading vocals with Brian’s guitar is haunting.
Not only that , but this Show Must Go On is also simply unreal. He went allll out. Took him to his knees and then bent back on the floor.
Good gawd, his voice just keeps getting stronger and stronger.
Our newbie CAIT must have been losing her mind. What a show.
Yep losing her mind.
Yes, glambotgram – I’ve been enthralled by the back-and-forth between Brian and Adam since they’ve been doing it – in Berlin yesterday they did it for 85 seconds – magical –
LOLOL
She must learn. She must know.
None of us have slept since 2009.
Wowwowowowow
Scroll down, read his posts about Adam , his sexiness, sexuality, his fanbase, the crown, this guy is brilliant. He nails it in a way I’ve been trying to for years.
Somebody To Love

Boys having fun.

ulti and glambotgram, in honor of #tbt, here’s the very first pre-IWIA Adam/Bri voice/guitar dialogue in Wroclaw, Poland, 2012. Haunting and so very special, I think it was totally unrehearsed. Right at the beginning of the video, Bri strikes a chord, Adam sings “eh-e-yeah-yeah,” and they take from there. One of my fave moments ever. http://youtu.be/7bTsz9P7FxY
Yes, remember that, riskylady – see my comment still there about a “haunting introduction with Adam’s vocals” – that it is –
mils we have been reading aleksandrakv’s tumblers for years. She/he is always very insightful and eloquent.
Nice tonguebert pic.

The “curse” after seeing @adamlambert
https://twitter.com/Always_Blessed/status/562810494915211264/photo/1
Thanks M, that is a “curse” I don’t ever want to get out from under!
OMG what a fantastic concert this was! So much fun and joy and emotion on that stage, vocals and musicianship out of this world.
You all HAVE to watch vanglam76’s Radio GaGa!! This is exactly the vid of RGG that I have been waiting and hoping for. She got awesome closeup footage of Adam down in the audience, and I feel like I’m right there! We can see so clearly how Adam connects with the audience, the faces he makes, how at ease he is and how much fun he’s having, and how excited everyone is to touch him and see him up close. At 3:47 he points at someone right next to the videographer and smiles, and you can hear the delirious squeals erupt. Oh and did I mention that he looks damn hot in that outfit? GAHHH! This makes me ridiculously happy to watch.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYHFaoMWB5I&feature=youtu.be
cait1602 – I’m very happy for you! You got such a great show! I have really enjoyed reading your posts here and on the livestream chats. It’s such a delight to watch someone fall down the rabbit hole into this world of Adam goodness that we all inhabit. And the way you express yourself captures all our feelings so well!
cher – thanks for thinking of me and that AOBTD vid. Ohhhh yeeah. I just love to watch him in AOBTD. He loves to perform that song and it shows. Soooo sexy. And the dancing at the end! GAHHH
wow…just watched Hamburgs WWTLF……mind blowing, best yet…
OMG cwm, you are so right, that RGG is just amazing. His charm just jumps off the screen. Loved the comment by one of the girls: she heard herself scream twice when he touched her and pointed at her lol. She’ll watch that over and over, just like we watch KQ from Toronto 2, or the one where you got “anointed” by Adam.

Again and again and again. I dont think there should be any doubts left why Queen choose Adam Lambert for this fucking thing. Holy cow what a ride they took us on.
We had seats across the stage. Spot was nice but was surrounded by what seemed diehard Queenies still bemoaning the loss of Freddie. Yes I still miss him too but with Brian, Roger, Adam, Rufus, Spike and Neil he lives on, wont be forgotten, will ever be remembered as THE Freddie Mercury. I had mentally my fingers crossed that the guy in front of me – a very vocal Adam sceptic – would be blown out of his seat by the first few songs. Mentally because I needed my hands…they so rocked right on the first note of
– One Vision: After what felt like hours I finally heard the beginning, saw the smoke, my mind went in total overdrive. I didnt know where to look first, what to see first, was literally a bit blown away. Adam was right there, no time for getting used to him. No, right the first second he run me over with his voice and truthfully he looks even better than on the pics I have seen in that really awesome leather outfit. Hot!!! Rocker through and through. Brian and Roger – you felt right the second that this evening would be one amazing thing. The energy on this stage. Totally out of the world…I couldnt even breath and they took us right to
– SCC: one of my fav Queen songs, Freddie was so awesome in stage singing that one. Adam – no words. His stage presence is wow. After two songs I was gone. Totally literally gone. Quiet that is, my mind was offline, couldnt find my voice, needed a bit to really comprehend all that I had seen…
– AOBTD: Truthfully I cant remember much of this one lol So happy I can check it out on YouTube. Was still stuck in my mind. Still riding the train. Lambert needs to come with a warning label or something. My Boyfriend really loved it and he doesnt like that song at all. But yesterday it rocked!
– FBG: One blow after the next, just watch the vids. One thing I noticed on this one. I fell in love with his laugh. He did laugh alot yesterday. It was so cute and funny. You couldnt help but laugh with him. Brian was so amazing at the end. Awesome!
-LOTG: The venue was on fire, over 10.000 ppl singing along, it was breathtaking beautiful. First time I ever witnessed so many ppl enjoying and singing a song with so many emotions. You have to expierence this, cant describe it. The guys on the stage held us hostage with this music. I know Freddie would have loved it bringing joy to so many ppl just with one of his songs.
– SSOR: Beautiful vocals, awesome sound, ppl got a bit distracted by the couch lol Many were laughing and already excited for
– KQ: I dont think I can retell the awesomeness of this song. I was caught between cracking up, screaming, singing along. This boy is absolute amazing, so comfortable with himself, I think he really had fun on the couch yesterday. I know I had watching him. And got some nice pics as a reminder
– IWTBF: The speech left me in tears. I know it is almost always the same but still different each time that I cant help it. I cant even describe why it left me in tears. Just the pure emotions behind it, knowing that he meant every word, that he loves Freddie as much as we/I do. Just thinking about it makes me cry again fuck really that man is fucking with my mind even without trying.
loved it without question
I screamed, I sang, I danced ( still sitting down unfortunately ) was a bit annoyed I couldnt stand down there in the crowd. I dont know what would have been better? The crowd really had fun time dancing without worrying about kicking or boxing their neighbours, but up there – the light show was so amazing, the stage so beautiful you dont get to see all that in front of the stage. Its the whole package – loading up Last Horizon on YouTube so you can check it out.
Sorry back again to IWTBF: always one of my fav sing-a-long-song
– STL: one of my absolute fav – yes I have many of them. Beautiful, amazing, awesome cant even describe. Ppl need to invent new words to describe what has happened yesterday in Hamburg. Blown away, mind was offline again, literally sitting there just staring…and after that songs, my fav guitarrist came for
– LOML: I think i screamed really really long and loud for this one. I havent really thought about the audio stream if it was still working atm. So sorry for any ears I might have damaged. But it was the first time for me to ever have the chance to really show my appreciation for one of the most talented guy in the world. I got nuts, really I know. Got funny looks all around, boyfriend was cracking up – again. Hell after i calmed down a bit I blushed all the way. But it was so worth it, getting it all out of me.
LOML just tears, so many tears that streamed down my face. Emotinal, still starting to cry. This is bittersweet for me reliving one of the best days in my life.
– `39: Yep screamed my throat sore for Roger too, I love all the boys Rufus, Spike and Neil, all so awesome talented, funny guys, really beautiful to watch them together. `39 calmed me down a bit after LOML, this is too a fav sing-a-long-song. Needed that badly. And it helped that
– AKOM/Drum Battle: came next, still a bit breathing time singing along with Roger. I still adore is voice. And dont get me started on that Drum Battle. Holy fuck they drummed all the way through my mind, heart and body. I have never ever seen something like that before. Totally in awe…and back was Mr. Lambert for
– UP: fire, pure fire, even if sometimes it was a bit like Roger was drowned out by Adam, maybe it was the sound mix that was getting to us, dont know. But still awesome…but all this havent really prepared me for
– SM: it was torture for my soul, couldnt breath, it was so full of pure emotions I was so caught up with it I cant really remember the end, unfortunately, because know Im missing 2 secs of my
– WWTLF: vid. I just hold the phone and watched perfection on the stage. It left me trembling half through the song, literally, couldnt hold the phone up without difficulties, trembling is captured on the vid but omfg what the hell was that. Can anyone pls tell me what the hell happened on that stage yesterday? I watched the youtube vid, watched my temble vid. How??? How is something like that possible? On the way back to the hotel ppl were talking all about it, it has blown everyone away, left us with so many emotion, choked up, it was brutal perfection…no wonder I had even more problems yesterday trying not to sob my heart out while hearing
– Guitar solo / Last Horizon: The lights while hearing that. Omg I still get shivers just rethinking it. Total awesome. Dr. Bri is one of the best, most talented, emotional guitarrist I ever have heard. It left me wanting for more…Downside was yeah even yesterday there were some ignorant ppl who had to go get a beer or somethimg because it was solo-time. There are still really some not so quite intelligent ppl out there…For me it was 12min of Perfection.
After all those overwhelming emotions I was so craving some Rock’n’Roll-Time with our Gods to get the energy out of me. So perfect time for
– TYMD: The venue was literally on a roll. It was amazing, all the screaming, shouting, singing along, rocking with them. It was awesome, so so awesome. If you see something like that you finally understand, why Adam Lambert is called a Rockstar. But truthfully for me they are all RockGods, nothing else. Many rockstars would kill for the response QAL got yesterday evening. We all had fun with that one. Really!
– IWIA: So nuts, so absolutely nuts. I loved it, even without much voice I had to give all I had. They want all from us, every minute, every second.
– Radio GaGa: If I/we werent GaGa from all that before it would have been a miracle. That songs its…I cant even comprehend what the 6 on the stage must have thought in that minute. Noone was holding back anything anymore. Even sceptical-guy in front of me was rocking. Totally rocking. I loved it! Lambert RockGod!!!
– CLTCL: little Elvis lol We went nuts, they went nuts on stage. It was party party party. I didnt even noticed the stage anymore, it was all one big group of ppl partying, singing, clapping along since TYMD. What a ride…
– TSMGO: I was on autopilot, I so didnt even think about that song being a possibility after Berlin. I had my phone in hand and just pressed record. It was…I cant describe it. So heart-wrenching. No recorded vid, stream could have prepared me. WWTLF and TSMGO so absolute perfect, I dont even think it can get any better than yesterday. There cant be any room left for more. Its not possible. Really I had…still have trouble getting my mind wrapped about it. I am so honoured that I got to hear that one live in Hamburg. Adam Lambert has the most unique voice I ever heard. I was captured by his voice before but that. That was is. Im done forever in, craving more of the emotion he makes me feel hearing his voice. It tore me apart, still searching for parts. Dont think I will ever find all of them…
– Bo Rhap: Wow after all this, after all this preparing, knowing what to expect, trying to be mentally prepared. It left me crying. So beautiful und rare. Was still processing TSMGO and then that. It was good to have a few min afterwards to get a bit down again. That bit was so little small, dont think it made any difference in hindsight lol
WWRY/WATC: what can i say. A perfect ending for a perfect concert with a perfect band. The crowed was on a rampage. I truthfully havent ever expierenced something like that and dont think I will in the future, except maybe perhapy if QAL are on tour again or if I am really lucky Adam Lambert will be touring in Germany. A girl can dream, right?
I know I left out “Gimme All Your Love”. Just watch it Glamberts, really just watch it. I was doing so many things during that, cracking up, laughing my ass of, singing along, clapping, screaming. All around going crazy nuts, it was so much fun. This was Adam Lambert showing us a bit of himself without Queen. And really it makes me even prouder to call myself a truthfully converted Glambert.
———————————–
I am sorry for this awfull long post but it helped me process the evening, helped me out of my post-concert-depression I got it around midday.
Short version: That concert was the most perfect, most amazing, most beautiful, most awesome, most funny and lovable performance I ever got the honour to witness. Truly amazing PERFECTION.
Cait – I am overjoyed that you got to experience the magic of QAL last night!! Thank you for your lengthy recap. With recaps, the longer the post, the better and it was fantastic to relive your experience with you song by song! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Cait,
I loved every word of your recap, thank you! You express so well your emotions in words, I am not capable of the same! I still can’t separate my concert experiences song by song, I just live in that experience. Thank you for letting us into your mind
I love to read and hear first timers’ experiences, they are unique 
This was especially special, because it was your first Queen experience and also first Adam experience. Hamburg concert was amazing, there’s no limit to Adam’s voice and talent…
Do we have yet a vid of Gimme that love from Hamburg?
cwm that RGG was special like you said! No crabbing and caressing this time, lol.
WWTLF that mils posted, amazing! I think I need a bigger external drive to save these all…
Bravo Cait! Fantastic recap! I love reading your emotions, so honest and raw and bare. And I can relate to everything you said, and your descriptions just put me right back into the shows I saw. Thank you!
This is my favorite line of what you wrote:
Yep, that pretty much sums it up.
Lady North – yes, the Gimme That Love vid is posted above, it’s just a little out of order. It’s posted underneath Radio Gaga instead of TYMD. Very fun!
Cait1602 The best kind of recaps are the ones that draw you in, make you feel all the emotion of the writer. You did just that. We all understand how you feel.
We have all said this at one time or another and Adam always finds some way to surpass even himself. He is unbelievable in the way he keeps raising the bar.
I am so happy you got to see this amazing concert.
WWTLF was EPIC
Thanks cwm! Yay Hamburg
Cait, your recap blew me away! I loved it!
The combination of seeing your favorite band, something that you probably never dreamt of doing, along with your newly discovered favorite singer, must have been so overwhelming. You took us with you on your emotional ride, and at the same time gave a detailed description of the show, highlighting how well the whole thing is put together. I kept reading and rereading your words, savoring the vicarious experience. 
Thank you so much 
You did write something that I can’t agree with:
We keep thinking this about Adam, and then he comes along and outdoes himself
Now save a copy of this recap for your files. You will enjoy rereading it again and again.
eta: lol, I just read that glambotgram wrote the same thing that I did about Adam surpassing himself
Thanks guys
I really thought it was too long after seeing it posted. I just kept writing and writing. It helped me a lot.
RS and glambotgram If this perfection still can be get even more perfect, I will gladly be proved wrong. But ffs what can he do to make it even more perfect? Maybe special but more perfect?
Cait We have been fans for six years and Adam never ceases to surprise us. But this first concert will always be the most special for you.
Thanks for the recap Cait1602
It was great! It brought my own two shows in Melbourne and Auckland back to me. The intensity is overwhelming.
Cait1602
Thank you for the recap. I wish it was longer!
Great recap Cait…could really feel all your excitement and emotions!
He will add a run or change some notes or reach new stratospheric notes add a new dance move, flash a smile, give a dork face, and our idea of perfection will shift again. LOL
We have come to understand that with Adam there are no limits he just keeps getting better and better. This leg of the tour is better than the last one, I was at three live shows and even the videos show how much better he is now.
Chicago was perfection for me then Toronto 2 could not possibly be beat, but here he is proving me wrong.
