Oh I think he changed the white boot laces for black ones. Good move IMO, to me the white laces were always a bit clown-like.

Or are these different boots altogether? Luval? Nkd?

(Loving the pants. But good thing he does not have the matching top, otherwise it would look just like my pajamas.

SAVE ME LYRICS
Words and music by Brian May
It started off so well
They said we made a perfect pair
I clothed myself in your glory and your love
How I loved you,
How I cried…
The years of care and loyalty
Were nothing but a sham it seems
The years belie we lived the lie
I love you ’til I die
Save me, save me, save me
I can’t face this life alone
Save me, save me, save me…
I’m naked and I’m far from home
The slate will soon be clean
I’ll erase the memories
To start again with somebody new
Was it all wasted,
All that love?
I hang my head and I advertise
A soul for sale or rent
I have no heart I’m cold inside
I have no real intent
Save me, save me, save me
I can’t face this life alone
Save me, save me, ooooohhhhh…
I’m naked and I’m far from home
Each night I cry I still believe the lie
I’ll love you, ’till I die
Save me, save me, ohhhhhh, save me
Don’t let me face my life alone
Save me, save me, ooh…
I’m naked and I’m far from home

Does anybody know her where about?
sistakrads,sistakrads -are you lurking, are you lurking? (To the tune Frere Jacques)
Now I’m just getting silly so it’s off to bed for me. Night, sistasif!
Nighty Night!!!
This week is going to be busy … full of Adam days.

– Sat 17 January LONDON O2 Arena
-Sun 18 January LONDON O2 Arena
Fun!
Hope Adam’s goodies ease your pain and frustration … cher.
Take care.
Now I understand why the German (Austrian?) review called “Save Me” the highlight of the night! What a glorious display of his beautiful voice! I had been hoping for something like this – acapella or a true acoustic!!! The lower register part is just gorgeous and sung so perfectly, perfect tone. Yes, it brings tears out of sheer beauty.
Just playing catch up, and saw this…
I agree with you Luval…just watched the video, and while it was good, didn’t enjoy it as much as an opener as Now I’m Here, that was just perfect….was never a particular favourite anyway.
