    Where is everyone? The August thread must be too interesting to leave. But the next show is about to entertain us. Another great MLG poster. The girl never dissapoints.

    Hi Jojosie! Remember when we first met? What a fun concert that was. I was so impressed with you flying out to Phoenix by yourself.

    Wow. Different blues-y start to Lap of the Gods. Not used to it.

  18. rs says:

    I was just going to say a different arrangement. Wow is right! Oops! Stream went off!

    Does the sound keep cutting off for you guys?

  20. luval says:
    08/29/2014 at 6:49 am

    rs…My “wow” was hmmmmmm or wut? Some on twitter think he forgot the words, but there are no words at the beginning lol!

  21. luval says:
    08/29/2014 at 6:50 am

    Yes sound keeps cutting off. I refresh and it comes on again.

  22. luval says:
    08/29/2014 at 6:54 am

    Really off-air now.

  23. luval says:
    08/29/2014 at 6:57 am

    Looks like bad usher problems there…no dancing, no standing up.

  24. rs says:
    08/29/2014 at 6:57 am

    I like bluesy. Can’t believe that Adam would forget the words in the middle of a tour where he sings the same song every night. The ones who tweeted that probably don’t know the song anyway. Looks like the stream is off air, hopefully will come back later. We have been spoiled. We need our Adam fix.

  25. luval says:
    08/29/2014 at 7:01 am

    There are no words anyway at the beginning of Lap of the Gods. I think he just wanted to try something different. But of course people like me don’t like change. Smile

    Am not going to post every picture but this is so beautiful

    We have been spoiled. Guess it is going in and out.

    Definitely a haircut and no nose ring.

    So they are giving Roger a little more “air time” with A Kind of Magic now. Or Adam needs more time back stage. Smile

    08/29/2014 at 7:41 am

    This is sooooo frustrating. It is off more than it is on. I really should go away and wait for the vids…..but I can’t pull myself away.

  35. luval says:
    08/29/2014 at 7:42 am

    lol, rs…feel the same way. There’s only a few more shows. There’s just something about “live”.

    Same here. I tuned in about 20 minutes ago. Has it been this way the whole concert? It sounds so good when it’s on, which just makes it more frustrating.

  38. rs says:
    08/29/2014 at 8:00 am

    Has it been this way the whole concert?

    Pretty much TLKC. I have just watched the streams from the overseas concerts and the tail ends from some of the last US ones, and this is by far the worst.

    Dear Dainty Group and Rod Lava Arena. We the fans have put up with you locking us totally out of this tour and hiking up the ticket prices to totally stupid prices. Since we have paid top dollar for our tickets including our nose bleed seats at $159.00 we demand you allow the fans to Dance where they are seated. If your corporate mates don’t like it tell them fuck off up to the sky boxes where they belong. We are the fans and we Make you money. So you can at least let us dance. Don’t piss us off we have had a gut full of this crap from u guys. Regards AQ and the pissed off fans at RLA tonight. Sort it out before tomorrow!

    Wow, it has been a while since a concert under such tight control. I feel bad for the fans…is this the concert where our sweet Kiwi is attending? I hope the frustration/negativity isn’t permeating the audience.

  45. riskylady says:

    Very surprising! Didn’t expect that from an Australian venue.
    Hope Brian and Adam get wind of it.

    Complaints coming in from Wheelchair access totally lame seats they can hardly see the show. what is going on u tossers up the top better sort this poor form. Enjoy ur champagne tonight just know we all are starting to dislike you very much.

  48. rs says:
    08/29/2014 at 8:27 am

    Even if they can’t dance, they are a very responsive audience. Adam said that they had Sydney beat on the Sing Along

  49. TLKC says:
    08/29/2014 at 8:32 am

    I noticed in a couple of Sydney videos that the barrier down by the thrust did not have people all the way around. It looks as though arena security protocol in OZ is a bit different than in other places.

    The wheelchair access situation sounds dreadful. Since that arena is having a second show, we will find out if this is an oversight and case of “don’t care”.

    How can they stop a whole audience from dancing?
