TRENDING IN UK WOOHOO! Adam Lambert ~ Brian May ~ Roger Taylor! #loveloveLOVE #MusicalBliss o/ #bestmemoriesof2014
Queen and Adam Lambert trending worldwide!
Kiwi, I too loved the TSMGO. It’s one of my favorites along with WWTLF and IWBTLY. Oh heck I think almost all of the songs are my favorites. Adam has a real twinkle in his eyes tonight, maybe his little vacation recently has something to do with it. The crowd really does look into the show. A lot of guys standing, singing and clapping. Great way to start 2015.
Doing the same thing Miss chaos
Borhap!!!
BR. And in the middle Kq. No couch
Back to borap. Silly.
OMG! They are so great together. No words……
Bagpipes? WWRY
Damn. Adam was made for this. Forget the silly Pop
Roger in a silly Christmas hat
It’s over.
When we all decided to follow a rock star, we sure pick a pretty one! He is just spectacular!!!!!!!
I know its hard to take your eyes off him, wish there was more! He sings good, and he is sure pretty, lololol
Stunned – never moved except to pour another glass.
This was spectacular in every sense of the word – not a flaw – pure music heaven.
Want that close-up grin to Brian just before he let loose at the end. The boy was having the time of his life and it showed.
He’s just the best there is.

Speechless!WOW!!! He showed the world. Hope they were all paying attention!! He was born for this! And we are the lucky ones!!!
Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pure perfection ulti!! OMG! Gotta go get ready to go to a NYE party but my heart is still pounding! Dayum and double dayum!! What a start to the new year! Wow!!
Well, that was abso-fricking-lutely-tastic!!!!!
Loved it all, loved it all, bagpipes? amazing, so UK, loved the beard, the pants, the red shirt, the joy, the facial expressions, the crowd shots, the fireworks, just all of it.
Did ‘ya all notice how he went over to Spike during CLTCL and wanted to play like they did during the tour but Brian had to say “no-no” with his eyes “you can’t play in that sandbox, we have a schedule to keep” so he stayed put, and Adam then came over to him, with his tail between his legs and said with his eyes, “okay, I’ll be a good boy??”
LOLOL
Whoops! Still at workplace. Hubby not happy with me. Forgot I wasn’t home.
What a show the band, Adam just fabulous. Love the close ups of that handsome face. My only complaint the camera moved away from him when he danced. Love watching his body moving can’t get enough.
It’s over
, I loved it 
. Like kiwi said earlier, so happy to have been able to share this with all of you around the globe.
Adam was fierce tonight…..and Brian was loving every minute of it. I love the interaction between them during the songs. And the stream was so fabulous.
It is coming on 3:00 am. but I am so wound up now. How can I go to sleep? Have to, though. Tomorrow isn’t a holiday here. So I will say good night and hope to wake up to a version of the concert that I can save. Night all, it’s been fun.
So do we all need a cigarette???
: 
WOW!
That was incredible! Adam is incredible and gorgeous!
mils, if it wasn’t new pants, I’m glad it was those pants!
