    Must be hard difficult to concentrate on playing the guitar when Adam is almost humping his leg. Smile Dog

    That is one exquisite WWTLF – the closing line slightly different – could just float away on those vocals –

    I think it was during Stone Cold Crazy (see video above) but we’ll have to find a better video if we want a gif made!

    After a very busy week in RL, I’m late to the party here. Been able to keep up in lurkdom, but no time or brain cells left over for posting. Thanks everyone for bringing all the fun here, and a big special thanks to AL and eywflyer for doing such a spectacular job running the threads!

    It’s wonderful to see that the boys are still slaying their audiences, show after show, and leaving fans panting, emotionally spent, and deliriously joyful in their wake. I honestly don’t know how they do it, but I guess that’s why they’re rock stars and not me. Smile

    AL – you cracked me up with your “humping leg” post and the dog avi! LOL

    Here’s a video of Lap of the Gods – Adam really changed up the beginning to make it much more bluesy. Very cool!
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6ImEc5o7I8&feature=youtu.be

    Also, in this vid of I Want To Break Free (posted above as well), you can see Roy (Japanese Freddie, who is onstage) give Adam a rose and Adam gives him a high-five. Sweet moment for Roy!

    And, this vid (also posted above) starts with the big kick that is now Adam’s avi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBUqpqTJS6s&feature=youtu.be

    LOOOOVVVEEE that luscious intro to Lap of the Gods. It clearly inspired Miss Thang, as you can hear a couple of soft OOoos from A before he comes into sight if you listen carefully. So we have Blues Adam, magnificent! Hope there’s something like this on #3. I have named these gorgeous intros “Ode to Adam.” (For my personal set list.)

    And these WWTLF, my God, just pristine. Goosebumps!

    Another great,close Killer Queen & Somebody to Love. From side of stage. Roy is right up there on stage seats. Blonde fan when he kneels on the screamer is a hoot!

    Hi all, just a quick check in between Oz and NZ legs. I had a great time at Melbourne. Sat next to a big burly Queen fan wearing an old 1985 Queen tee shirt. He said he wasn’t sure about the collaboration with Adam but he’d heard good stuff. He was beside himself during Killer queen, shrieking and clapping, it was hilarious. After the show he said that alone was worth the price of the ticket!

    Good vid of I Want To Break Free. You can see Roy’s reaction really well when Adam comes up to him and Roy gives him the rose. Sweet.
