glamberthaf28…thank you for sharing your concert and trip experience with us. It gave me chills! We were all so thrilled that you were there at your first Adam concert when we met you that night. Your excitement was contagious, and of course we were a little excited to be there ourselves! It was such a great concert. I hope we get to meet up on the next tour. That would be a lot of fun! I’m so glad that you have become part of our little crazy family here!
wrong thread
Woot! What a great recap, Glambertha! Thank you!
I can never read too many of these terrific memories of that unbelievable concert – and I think I would feel the same way even if I hadn’t been there, because I think the recaps read together give a really good idea of what it was like, and your recap is an important part of that. I LOVE that we are still getting new nuggets on this thread!
Speaking of which, you took it away from us! Please bring it back here, too – I think that ewyflyer meant for you to double post it, on both threads. I def think it belongs here.
and like luval, I’d love to know how and when you got hooked on Adam. (But that is def the glambert thread. Are you sufficiently confused now lol?)
So so glad you found us here. It was so cool to meet you in Ste Agathe and I am looking forward to seeing you again!
ok bringing it back here too. I just didn’t know if I could double post or not Here it is again
Seeing as how I just joined this website I thought I would go ahead and give my little recap of the show.
In the eyes of a first time Adam-concert goer!
First off I wanna talk about the trip to get there because it was one heck of a journey. First flying from Chicago to Toronto, first time on a plane and going anywhere on my own without my mom or dad, I was a little afraid at first,but once I got in the air and to Toronto my emotions started to calm down. Got into Toronto airport at about 10:30-11ish on Wednesday morning before the show. Waiting three hours, talking to my mom and brother, posting on facebook so my coworkers knew I was at work, I finally got my airporter to take me to a fellow glambert’s house whom I was staying with. First time we met also! We hung out the rest of the day and went to bed early because we had an early start.
Thursday was an adventure, we had a 10 hour bus trip ahead of us! We got on our first bus no problem. But the problems arose when we got off at the wrong stop! We had to trek and take a cab to make it to the right bus station and to our bus…with 5 minutes to spare! Then we got on our next bus a 5 hour ride from Toronto to Ottawa! Everything was going fine, or so we thought. We needed to be in Montreal before 6 to pick up our car rental. Checking the time, it was 2:45 and we were still about 60 km from Ottawa and our other bus had already left! We had gotten to Ottawa at about 3:00 got on a bus at about 3:30. Maybe we could make it! We kept checking our phones for the time, praying we would make it on time. Well, we weren’t that lucky our bus pulled into the Montreal bus stop at 6:05p.m. So we had to take a cab from Montreal to our hotel in Ste. Adele. Well we thought, maybe we would go to Ste. Agathe first to get our ticket numbers then go back to the hotel…well half way there we decided that we would just go to the hotel. Well our cab driver completely went passed the exit for our hotel and had to turn around because he didn’t speak English very well and neither one of us spoke French!
Finally getting to our hotel, calling my parents to tell them I was safe and at the hotel, we got a good night’s rest. Waking up at about 9 am, I popped my head up off the pillow and screamed “ADAM DAY!!!!”
We went out for a little breakfast, got some money for the cab ride to Ste. Agathe and for the concert! Came back to the hotel and got ready and then left.
(continued in next post)
The cab dropped us off, and we were in Glambert heaven. Walking down the streets, there were glamberts everywhere, yelling at us and hugging us and everything else. I had never felt more accepted in my life.
Well we finally got our ticket numbers (after a little detour) and were waiting in line. I met so many people in that line that I can truly call my friends!!! They introduced themselves and I introduced myself and it was like instant friends. Adam’s fans are really like a family!
After getting lined up to go into the concert, we had to wait a little longer. But wait, what is that I hear. It’s Adam soundchecking WWFM. My heart started pounding. I couldn’t believe that I was actually hearing him sing the song I have lyrics tattooed on my arm live! I couldn’t wait to actually see him!
After getting my purse checked, (and after some wonderful tips for seats from Glamberts) I ran as fast as I could in flip flops up the hill into the concert grounds. There were only about eight to ten rows of ppl in front of us and we were right by, what is now deemed “Sauli’s walkway” I couldn’t believe we got such good spots!
Waiting for the concert to begin, I was dancing with the DJ, singing along to the songs, and telling my first time story to many people include nkd, Kradamour, Ceddies, Ron and others here on this site.
It was getting close to time for Adam to come on stage, then all of a sudden I see security guards heading towards us. I looked and HOLY COW! Sauli was RIGHT THERE next to me. I was just baffled. He even smiled at me
Then they introduced Adam. Isaac, Monte, and Tommy came on stage and started playing FYE. OMG! I couldn’t control myself I was screaming my head off!!! Then out walks Adam, looking gorgeous, and I just remember thinking, Holy crap Adam Lambert is RIGHT THERE, and I am actually witnessing this, somebody pinch me. Singing along with every word, I couldn’t contain myself.
Next was Down the Rabbit Hole! Seeing Adam own the stage in person is just breath taking. Now here comes the almost awkward part, will there be Adommy moments. To my surprise he backed off a little but not as much as I thought he would. I love the friendship between those two!
Now on to my favorite song, Strut. Seeing him strut his stuff on stage in those wonderful Medges, it was like a dream come true. I couldn’t believe I was hearing these songs I’ve listened to in my car, on Youtube, and on the GNL DVD live. His vocals are nothing short of amazing live! And the banter before the songs, I loved it!
Skip a few songs, talking about his duster , and singing Aftermath we come to Sleepwalker. I love this song, but while he was singing it, it seemed as though he pointed right at me at one point. I’m not gonna lie I flailed! haha
(to be continued)
If I Had You was next, and of course we all had to jump during the chorus, it’s like a tradition now!
Band Intro, twink fairies, and fan fiction. I have never laughed so hard in my life or been a little embarrassed to be a fan fic writer. When he talked about fan fiction, I was like UH OH I’M CAUGHT! But being the good sport he is, he just laughed it off and that was that. I love him for that, so easy going and lovable!
Then Outlaws of Love. Now beforehand, I was telling the girl I went to the concert with, How cool would it be if he debuted something from the new album in Ste. Agathe? she said it would never happen. WELL IT DID! OMG this song is so beautifully written and sung. Just so much emotion put into the song and was written all over his face, I was almost in tears! Simply gorgeous!
Then the band interlude. Tommy comes out without his jacket on and there are his TATS!!! I’m fascinated by his tattoos. I love them so much, I wish he would show them more often. And I’m a sucker for a guy with tattoos, and they just make him that much hotter!!!
Adam then comes strutting back on stage for Sure Fire Winners. Waiting for a lyric fail here, but nope Adam’s on his game for this song! After he finishes, we hear “tell me tell me tell me” and has an impromptu version of copy cat! Hey YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fever is next! Another one of my favorites! When he walks over to Tommy, I wonder what he is going to do. Then he leans down and starts talking to John Wayne!!! Classic Adam, always surprising us! And Tommy’s WTF look he gives Adam for a second, hilarious! Then during the end of the song, Adam gives us a little impromptu dance! one word HOT!!! I think I literally melted into a puddle of goo during that. That man can go from sweet and playful to sex god with just a snap of the fingers!
Whole Lotta Love is next! Adam comes to the front of the stage, raises his hands, AND….DOWN POUR RAIN!!!! Memorable concert moment. All of us getting drenched on while he is singing, and telling us that even though it’s raining he aint going!!! That’s dedication right there.
Whatya want from me being sung to the sky, perfect. “It messed me up, need a second to dry” probably my favorite new line of the song. Then After the song him telling us that we F’n rock! Come Hell or High Water!!! and then telling us to go get dry but in an orderly fashion HA we weren’t going anywhere, we knew there was an encore coming. Chanting ADAM, ADAM, ADAM, ADAM, we hear Monte’s guitar start up again.
Last song of the night was Purple Haze! Perfect ending! Adam sauntering along the stage, in his tank top sticking to his skin…I don’t know how many more times I can say HOT! lol! then afterwards, FIREWORKS!!! And yes Adam they are for you
All in all it was one of the most memorable nights of my life and I will never forget it! I will also never forget the wonderful people I met at Ste. Agathe, hope we can meet up again. So there is my concert review, through an “Adam virgin” well Adam virgin NO MORE!!!
<3
alright Kramdamour brought it back to this thread here. And like you I’m glad I found you guys too, I was looking like everywhere for you guys, Twitter, ALFC, everywhere! We had one heck of a time at Ste. Agathe and can’t wait to do it again!
Thank y’all for being patient with me, I’m learning the ropes here
