    Hard to believe I’m cutting out right now from you guys & this great audio feed.
    HATE it! Especially as Adam sounds absolutely Out of This World and the crowd is really into it.
    This is going to be a real treat!
    I’ll have to catch up on all the videos & pics I know you guys will bring here.
    Many thanks & Hugs!!! I have those to look forward to.

    Off to couple of hours sleep (it’s 4:30AM here Yawn) …

    Third set of comments originally posted in the August 2014 chat thread:

    adamized says:
    08/26/2014 at 6:55 am
    ahh… I’m finally able to enjoy one of these livestreams and it seems like everyone is leaving. Sleep tight everyone. RS maybe it is just you and me.

    Yes, I can’t imagine a better beginning to my birthday except if we had audio and visual treats. Well, I am happy with what I can get.

    Thank you for posting the Wilkes Barre gif. I was there that night with many of you and we knew it was going to be extra special. Adam had just been told that Trespassing was #1BB. He was so happy and beautiful and sexy and everything you could have wanted. For those of you who don’t know Wilkes Barre is a special concert venue. It is a tiny town in the middle of nowhere. This means that Adam and his band stays in the same hotel as the fans. What a special feeling to know that you could easily trip over Adam in the lobby or get on the same elevator.

    After the concert that night we waited for Adam to come out and sign. He did and it was glorious. I will always remember him surrounded by a group of young teens and them giving him a group hug. It was absolutely adorable and he took it with such good humor. He controlled the crazy crowd all by himself. No security in sight. After he was done signing he strode across the street into “our” hotel. A few of us discreetly following behind.

    It was so wonderful to be part of what I’m sure was one of the most memorial days of his career at that point.

    BTW, this livestream is amazing. Anyone who can stay up and listen is in for a real treat.

    08/26/2014 at 6:57 am
    hi Cher and HK fan glad your listening. As Adam says you can always sleep when you are dead.

    luval, what a fun intro for Sauli and BB. He is such a beautiful little cupcake.

    I just saw Bohemian Rhapsody performed live, by Queen, with Adam Lambert. And I will never, ever, be the same again.

    Did they do DA????? was hoping for IWBTLY again. I have a little confession to make, although I like DA, I don’t have the great love for it that so many here do…..its not one I go back to again and again…whereas IWBTLY and Love Kills is.

    Happy Birthday dear Adamized. Since several here have confessed to not particularly liking DR, I’ll join that group. As long as I’m confessing I really am not that fond of Running and Sleepwalker. I put them about middle of each album. I’m also with Cher in that Time for Miracles is a favorite of mine. Confession feels good. But who cares, as long as Adam sings it it’s all good. I’d love to see a Queen cowrite or collaboration on his next album. I didn’t get up in time to catch much of last night show but will set my alarm tonight. Yawn
