Queen and Adam Lambert end a spectacular 2014 by performing at the Central Hall Westminster as they “Rock Big Ben Live” on the BBC One’s New Years Eve special. The show starts at 11:15 PM and features a 40-minute set before 2015 and the fireworks begin. They are back at 10 minutes after the hour for a short 20-minute set. The show will be viewed by over 14 million on BBC One and streamed live around the world.
Enjoy the concert and the chat!

Now I’m here.
AL took care of it – thanks!
Got that covered! Just check the twitter list at the top of the thread. He set that up. He posted a set list too!
I thought the show was at 4. Oooh Poop.
Tap Tap Tap. What’s a fan to do???
Wait….??
You can delete it if you want. If someone wants to see the setlist (or other spoilers) they can follow the twitter list above.
Thank you, AL – you are the best!
Okay, I’m all settled in. Drink, snack, cell phone, real phone, important people notified that I will be AWOL for a bit, corner ready for those who will be joining me, flail pillows fluffed.
Hubby will be going for a Chinese take out run. Orders please. I’ll share my Moo Shoo Chicken with brown rice ( no pancakes ), but he won’t share his Mongolian Chicken. Sorry. Oh, and there will be plenty of egg rolls and hot and sour soup.
Tap tap tap
I wonder about WWTLF??

Love that time counter!
The time counter is saying 55 minutes for me and BBC music is saying 22 minutes lol
So Happy New Year which ever time is right!!!!!
Dropping in to wish everyone a wonderful and Happy New Year! May the new year be more awesome than this past year and that’s pretty hard to do!!!
Also MLG the poster for tonight is just beautiful! Thank you so much for all that you do!
I’m hoping to follow along here and also watch the livestream from London. Getting excited!!!
Calgary, what’s LK?
Oh. ( slaps forehead – Hard ) Love Kills
The time counter is the actual time of the evening, not a countdown lol. It’s 10:23 pm or 22:23 military time.
Love Kills?
I just hope this stream works, getting so nervous.
Have stream on two brousers – chrome and firefox. Firefox is
6 sec behind chrome. Decisions.
Happy New Year ALL
! It already began here 
jlurk, do you already have something going on? I only see the clock…
I can’t get on my mind what song is DSMN! Anybody? Probably something obvious but I am tired (and had some classes of wine
)
Nothing going other than a clock. Sure know time in
London right now.
LadyNorth DSMN – Don’t Stop Me Now
Yes Calgary, of course. Thank you
I just managed to get the link on our new big screen “Smart TV” The problem with the “Smart TV” is that they don’t send a SMART operator with it – just dumb old us.
Thanks jlurk
I hope I am on board when it begins. I shared the link in my facebook (the rl one) and 5 people liked it. I hope they also try it…
Also checking in to wish all ALLers the best 2015, full of love and light, good times and all the most interesting serendipity we can handle.
A thousand thanks to mlg for her outstanding posters, each one so beautifully composed, and to AL et al for this site.
Getting a little jittery

little dutchess, retjenny HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and the Duke and Mr. Retjenny! Hope 2015 brings us all together again for some Adam goodies!
Thanks riskylady – Just think, last year we were all at Windstar, freezing our tushes off! Wish we were there again.
Now I’m here!
I thought I would watch on my TV screen (not so big, but bigger than the computer), but the link with the computer isn’t working 
. Maybe something got screwed up when my computer got attacked. I’ll just have to watch on my desktop.
Six minutes! And this time they will have to be on time
sorry-
somehow- I got the quote and regular backwards and am too excited to figure out what I dis wrong! LATER!!!!
Anyone have anything yet?
Ack!!!!!!!!!!
Pins and needles here!!!!!!!!
I sure hope so
Can you all stop writing “Now I’m here”? I keep thinking I missed the begining.
Hi Little Dutchess and rs and luval and Ms Chaos and to the Beat, and all you others!
Here we go!!!!!
I am connected to tv screen and listening through head phones… Excited!
Yikes, it is on!!
ITS ON!!!!
It’s on!
My BBC countdown says 11.00 pm – but that doesn’t make sense as it’s 4.15 here ?????????
Holy crisp. He looks so good!
It’s so clear!!!!!
Off to a fabulous start, I’d say!
WOW,THIS IS SOOO GOOD,

Happy new year everyone
