    mmadamimadamm @mmadamimadamm
    @ScorpioBert Can you upload four audio files into one Soundcloud file or do they have to be joined beforehand?

    Linderella Wink @ScorpioBert
    @mmadamimadamm they have to be joined before hand, I can do that if I have all the files

    mmadamimadamm @mmadamimadamm
    @ScorpioBert Can you grab the files from @FierceMama_ Mixlr? She has 3 of 4 uploaded right now… mixlr.com/fiercemama2/sh…

    mmadamimadamm @mmadamimadamm
    @ScorpioBert @FierceMama_ I’ve asked if she can rename the files, Part 1, Part 2, etc.

    (Amazing what his fans do – guess want to upload all parts as one soundcloud. Impressed.)

    luval … Great review!

    Adam Lambert brings youthful energy to legendary rock band Queen as frontman for Sydney concert

    QUEEN guitarist Brian May, drummer Roger Taylor and newcomer Adam Lambert blew the roof off Allphones Arena last night in an energetic rock extravaganza which pulled no punches.

    http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/newslocal/inner-west/adam-lambert-brings-youthful-energy-to-legendary-rock-band-queen-as-frontman-for-sydney-concert/story-fngr8h4f-1227037704230?nk=6130a49f7ef11cce78ad61a1b847ce18

  11. ultimathule says:

    Hooray – a really good review, luval – another one who gets it. Terrific.

    And, yes, AL – I second asif’s AMEN!

  12. riskylady says:

    I think Yahoo Australia should be embarrassed by their two outsourced reviewers of Perth and Sydney. Really bad writing and no music or Queen knowledge.
    And the other one – it’s almost amusing when they get all pompous writing about rock. Especially when it’s obvious Brian, Roger and Adam are having fun and not taking the whole thing so deadly seriously.
    But finally, the Daily Telegraph comes through and gets it.

    I will be very disappointed if Gaga shows up with her crazy costume and they bring her up, making it all about her. After she rudely blocked Brian and Roger’s view at the EMA’s, only gave a shout out at her concert….

    Love the guy with the gray hair in the lower right corner of Killer Queen. He starts out watching, then seems to be looking around to see what everyone else thinks, like “are we really seeing this” then ends up filming it. He just keeps grinning.

    Saw lots of guys smiling, glambotgram – boy’s irresistible – it’s the humor that he projects that gets them, I think.

  21. milwlovesadam says:

    I remember in my cab back to our hotel in Toronto, the guy from the couple was going on and on about how surprised he was that Adam was so funny! And so gorgeous!! He ( a married straight guy ) used the word gorgeous!! LOL.

    But, anyway, he was saying that Killer Queen was his standout favorite moment of the night, because he was so hilarious and self-deprecating, and all out glam. He said that those moments on that couch should go down in rock history. For real.

    That was one helluva cab ride!!

    Wow, that’s awesome. A beautiful point of connection between her and her Dad. It warms my heart that he loves Queen so much, and that he now knows his daughter really understands.

    Is there a real possibility that this could happen?

    I heard a rumor that she might perform. Don’t know if it’s true. Any updates? Would be a very poor move, imo. ugh. Not a good fit with QAL…

  44. ultimathule says:

    Love that review, too – articles like this make up for the tacky other ones.

    And love the last paragraph:

    “Last night’s performance was everything we could have expected from a Queen show and more. We were offered all of the bands major hits and a truly memorable performance from icons of the industry and one of the greatest vocalists around today. It was visually stunning, it was nostalgic and it was musically epic to its core.”

    “one of the greatest vocalists” – I could just cry seeing that in print – makes me so happy.

  45. asifclueless says:

    Thanks … riskylady for the Renowned Review. Heart Rose Love it!
    Good review … get to the points .. not pretentious. And the end of the review …

    Sorry no tweet of last night’s video selfie stick epic. I messed up ! No vid. But we recorded the whole show so you may still see it ! Bri x

  49. asmallworld says:

    “Arriving at Sydney’s Allphones Arena last night, you had the instant feeling that you were about to witness something pretty epic and special.”

    Now , THAT’s a great way to start a review….
    (Refreshing antithesis of the buffoon from that prior nonsense)

    “Dressed in black leather with golden studs and clutching a golden microphone, the singer’s fabulously camp strut up and down the decked out stage fit with laser beams and lights displayed a glam rocker in his element, jamming with one of the staples of the genre as if it were always his destiny to be doing so.

    AMEN! That’s because … It IS.

    Just a really great review!
    Was nodding my head the whole time I was reading. Victory Victory
