Even better (or worse, depending on perspective), the floor has springs in it and bounces when you jump on it!!! People could launch themselves right at him! Can you imagine the room when he asks everyone to jump for IIHY? :lmao: I can't remember where I read about this interesting feature, but someone just tweeted about it:

sherrie' date='Jul 22nd 2010, 4:24 AM

I just got home from the Portland concert. I think you've already heard about the great crowd and Adam's vocals were amazing....he hit so many high notes tonight yet on Soaked he blew everyone away with tenderness of his voice and WLL was beyond words. Anyway, I'll tell you my personal story. I'm a fainter so after I found out there was no air conditioning I decided not to go and gave the three tickets I had purchased to friends. As luck would have it, at the last minute someone couldn't go, so I hurried and got ready and caught up with my frineds in line.....couldn't let the ticket go to waste. :) When we got in we went upstairs to the ballroom where the concert was.....it was already so flippin hot, I couldn't stand it, so I went back downstairs by the entrance where there was a nice breeze coming through the door, turned out to be a great idea :P

I stood near the entrance through all of Ali and Ori, there were only three or four other people there. Made friends with security guys and one of them asked why I wasn't upstairs and I told him it was to hot for me and I would probably pass out, he say's "here you go" and handed me a couple of wrist bands, I said "what are these for?" and he tells me they are VIP/handicapped so I'm happy I'm going to see Adam up close :yes: The fun part, while I was standing there Neil made at least three trips up and down the elevator with buckets of ice and then you guessed it.....he went up the elevator again with about six boxes of pizza!
I didn't have a camera, but I said hi Neil and he smiled and said "hey". Pretty soon here comes Monte, so I tap him one the shoulder and say hi and then I blabbered something and he said "see you upstairs" Monte has really pretty eyes, lots of eye make up, almost as much as Adam. Then Longineau and Taylor came in and I said something to Longineau and Taylor asked if I was going to the show....Taylor really is a cute guy in person. The last person I saw, for now, was Terrance and he is beautiful. During this time I made friends with another Adam fan and everytime someone went by I told her who it was and when Neil went by, I told her that he was Adam's brother and she said, "NO I walked a couple of blocks with him and chatted the whole way", she thought he was someone going to the concert so about the third time he goes up and down the elevator he spotted her(she was a very attractive blonde) and came over and chatted with us, nothing significant just small talk.

Time for Adam, my new friend and I go upstairs and find the VIP/handicapped area. It was on the left side of the stage with a clear view and lots of extra fans scattered around to keep it cool. We stood behind the wheelchairs and had a perfect view. :thumbs: What we soon realized is that, not only did we have the perfect spot to watch the show but there was a rail next to where we standing and stairs on the other side of the rail. Everyone came up the stairs when they took the stage and we were probably three feet away from them. First the band came up and Monte recognized us and came over and said hi and then here comes the beef (security) with Adam, we waved and said hi and he gave us the peace sign as he passed. The dancers went up and down the stairs everytime they changed and they would stand on the other side of the rail next to us until it was time for them to go on....Brooke is pretty and did I say Terrance is gorgeous! The funniest thing is Neil must have run up and down the stairs 10 times. He had to go get Brooke and Sasha one time because it was time for them to be on, they came running up the stairs with Neil and barely made it to the stage in time. Everytime Adam did a wardrobe change behind the curtain, Neil would go get his clothes and take them downstairs and come back and stand with us until he had to run off and do something else. When the concert was over Adam walked by us again and he was just beaming....he is even more beautiful close up.

Other tidbits, when we were standing near the elevator downstairs the paramedics brought several people down the elevator that had passed out. Some of them got water and sat down outside, but a couple of them got rides in an ambulance. There were a lot of security people in the VIP/handicapped area, they came up to watch Adam. I overheard one of them saying to another guy that he didn't know anything about Adam and that he had never heard him sing. After the show I heard the same guy say I had no idea the dude could sing like that....amazing! Found my friends after the show and the one who wasn't really an Adam fan said she loved Soaked, If I Had You and loved his sexy dancing and she said he is beautiful and kinda masculine for a gay guy and I thought yep, she gets it :thumbs: Lots of cute gay boys, teenagers, twenty somethings, middle age women and way more men in general than I thought there would be.

Sorry I thought I made this red, but I guess I don't know how....feel free to change it.
sherrie' date='Jul 22nd 2010, 10:47 AM

I did thank my lucky stars and it was almost more fun for me watching all the behind the scences stuff going on and the people around me. I hope there is video because I didn't catch everything Adam said when he was talking and he got chatty a couple of times. This is a really old building and to be hones I didn't think the acoutics were very good so it made it hard to understand him when he was talking. A lot of the time we could hardly hear Adam because the band was so loud and then at other times, he sounded like he was on helium. The sound and voice seemed great on the acoustic part of the set. It may have just been where we were sitting in the room, I would hate for people to think that's how he sounds all of the time. All and all it was a really fun experience. :)

Something to read while we wait:

Melisende, from PF:

"Just going to post some thoughts on the 2 shows I’ve been to – Portland & Seattle. It’s getting late and in 3 days I’ve totaled 8 hours sleep and have to catch the plane in the morning for San Francisco.

"First, I know everyone says you have to experience a GA show but I’ve got 2 under my belt now and there’s a lot to be said for having a numbered seat. This was second day of getting in a line- up by 1.30 pm in the hot sun. At least the neighborhood today in Portland was a little more scenic than the Seattle warehouse district. Our group came prepared with chairs and it really pays to get a system set up where you have people spell each other. The lines are orderly and if you tell people how many you’re saving for, it’s all rather civilized. But you still get into the venue dehydrated (because you don’t dare drink too much), probably a little hungry because you’re skipping lunch and dinner, and with a sore body. The best part is meeting the other fans and I have to say @SistaGlam is a total doll (she’s a member here but has never figured out how the board works) who put up 5 total strangers in her home in Seattle. Maria22 is always the life of the party, her husband is patience personified, Valress can make friends with anyone, and the delightful Jennifer (sorry forgot your PF name) is the sweetest soul. Tinafea, heartsandminds and everyone else was a pleasure to meet.

"Anyway, while hanging in the lines we did get a couple of Adam sightings. In Seattle, 3 of us just happened to pass by from going to the car and there he was – entering the venue as he returned from interviews. He looked stunning beyond what a mortal human should look like in his black leather jacket. No one else was there and he gave the 3 of us the cutest little smile. Today he came out before the show to sign stuff and I was the last person to get a sig from him - Yay!

"Anyway, the Seattle updates have been posted so let me say, in comparison, the Crystal Ballroom was even more tightly packed. Seriously, not even sardines would have put up with this. There was no AC and we were dripping wet, plus there were some serious BO issues going on around me. The crowd was SO much more diverse tonight because apparently Seattle stations don’t play Adam much. Seattle was my demographic; an older female crowd (an 80 year old gal with her walker was at the front of the stage in Seattle). Today we had every age and lots of guys – though I had a bunch of people right around me who were determined to look grim and not move the entire evening. Not sure why they were there – although white haired lady next to me was trying to tweet that her sister made her go to an Adam Lambert concert. She held her hears most of the show.

"After Ali’s and Ori’s set – no recap as it’s the same as every other recap about them – I was feeling so thirsty I wasn’t sure I could last through the long break and Adam’s set. I won’t even talk about the aching feet and shoulders. You can live with that! Luckily, the staff came around and sold us water bottles and sprayed the audience because it was really not comfortable. After the 5th person tried to move past us to the front because they were “coming back from the bathroom” I told them to forget it and go back the way they came out ‘cause I had never seen them before. I can’t believe the cheap tricks people pull after the rest of us have stood in line for 7 hours to get within 20 feet of Adam. But Adam makes you forgot all pain, thirst, everything with his glorious presence. The stage was so small tonight and he filled it completely with his tall, but oh so thin body. He had no bindi or other jewels on his face or hair but he was stunning. What was most noticeable tonight was the much happier, looser vibe. The sound was better (I got chipmunk effect in Seattle) and he laughed and joked so much. In WWFM he kept adding little words after the sentence like, “Hey, I’m a freak, yeah.” It was too cute. He laughed at himself after the “Brooke” dance because he said he was so bad at it and then had us do the “roll” with him. Then he had us sing and do “the roll” and he said it was like rubbing your head and patting your stomach and demonstrated. He was exuding happiness tonight and Monti was on fire too. I like his playing better than Ori and he and Adam were so in sync. Adam did so many little sexual things, like tongue flicking, touching himself – nothing overt – but SO sexy. The crowd was nuts over him and screamed like banshees when he stopped singing during Soaked. He let us scream a very long time as he took it all in and as he finished the song the young girls behind me were screaming for the umpteenth time “Adam, marry me.” Near the end of the show he said “Thanks for playing along” like at RMT and the vibe was very much like that show.
After MW, Monti took an electric guitar and I knew we were getting an electric WLL – maybe like RMT but it wasn’t quite like that. It was between acoustic and electric but his vocal acrobatics at the end left me slack-jawed and in tears. I looked over at maria22 and she was in another world- as we all were. I felt this show was several degrees above Seattle. My gold standard is River Rock and this exceeded it. My gold vocal standard is Crawl Thru Fire and during WLL, I felt like I was at the Zodiac show. The vocals were quite simply superb. Can he top this in San Francisco? I don’t see how it’s possible. But I’ll be there and wish there was a way I could follow the entire tour from now until it ends. Adam always leaves us wanting more. I’ll even put up with all the stuff that goes with the GA show just to hear him again and again."

Live Review: Adam Lambert, July 21 at Crystal Ballroom
July 22nd, 2010 [1:10PM] Posted by: JEFF ROSENBERG BREAKING

NEWS: Glambert is the real deal.

And not just because he introduced lasers to the Crystal Ballroom for the first time in memory last night. Because he’s a supremely confident performer who nonetheless projects a charming soupçon of humility onstage. Because his show is precisely ordered and choreographed, yet he still found time to get silly with his dancers and the audience. Because he doesn’t need to stick strictly to the melodies of his songs, but at the same time doesn’t get lost in a mist of melismas. Because he had the balls and taste to perform his hit single, “What Do You Want From Me”, in a stripped-down version accompanied only by acoustic guitar, and played his popular American Idol cover, “Mad World”, in a sped-up and funkier take than the one he did on the show. Because in his exotic recasting of “Ring of Fire”, the gay subtext gives the line “I went down, down, down” a sly new shade of meaning, and because he sings “I fell for you like a cheeeyiiild” with an Axl Rose inflection. Because his skills allow him to transcend sometimes mediocre material. Because his dancers, sets and lighting are beautifully campy without getting Gaga-diculous about it, especially on one number featuring a rear projection of a neon-colored skull in a style reminiscent of native art accompanied by skull-masked dancers (a troupe of four who performed intermittently throughout the night). Because even his in-ear monitors were bedecked with glitter. Because his tight band celebrates diversity with a woman keyboardist, dreadlocked African-American drummer, and, um, Jewish maybe? lead guitarist and musical director, who also happens to play guitar for Madonna (Lambert himself has a Jewish background, by the way; and the band’s bassist was absent on the night due to a family emergency, but wasn’t sorely missed musically). Because he drew a somewhat diverse crowd, if a bit heavy on Beaverton tweens and their soccer moms gleefully singing along to every word. Because his elastic voice requires no auto-tune, yet every run, scream, and growl stays precisely on pitch. Because he ended his show with “Whole Lotta Love,” substituting the gender-neutral “Baby, you need love” for “Woman….”

Because this culture hasn’t been able to tolerate a male glam superstar since Freddie Mercury died, and if someone’s gotta do the job, this good-natured up-and-comer might as well be it. No, of course, he’s no Freddie, nor, seemingly, much of a provocateur (despite kissing a dude at the American Music Awards). His 21st-century take on glam is tamer, less freaky and more squeaky-clean and readily marketable than the style’s past. But an openly gay, creatively open-minded, widely popular artist who can really sing is a very good thing, regardless of what “reality” he may have emerged from. Long may he reign.

This verifies the fact that the band actively look for and WANT videos of their concerts!

The second link is someone's MySpace blog. It has a ustream of the encore on it. Can't tell if it's paintedbirdie's stream or not.

Concert review: 'American Idol' runner-up Adam Lambert a winner to fans in Portland

Adam Lambert performs Wednesday at the Crystal Ballroom


On Tuesday afternoon, Michelle Garbett from Ridgefield, Wash., paid a homeless man $50 to hold her place in front of the line outside the Crystal Ballroom so she could be first inside the venue for Adam Lambert's "Glam Nation" concert Wednesday night.

"If I had a son, I would want him to be like Adam," said the petite 57-year-old, who had decorated her left cheek with a blue rhinestone swirl for the show. "He's beautiful inside and out."

The capacity crowd wrapped around the building -- an excited mix of moms in cropped pants and crocs, glitter-goth teenagers and beautiful tattooed boys -- obviously agreed, squealing with delight when the Season 8 "American Idol" runner-up emerged from his tour bus to sign autographs and take a few pictures. Humble and personable, Lambert's low-key demeanor and relatively cosmetic-free face was almost incongruent with the glamboyant performer who has been selling out smaller venues across the nation in a concert season that's seen more than its share of struggling tours – even from bigger names.

Two hours later, he was stalking the laser-lit stage in full furred-and-feathered regalia, undulating between dancers and giving the passionate fans sweltering inside the Crystal their time and money's worth.

Unfortunately, the opening acts on the Glam Nation tour -- Lambert's talented "Idol"-mate Allison Iraheta and former Michael Jackson guitarist Orianthi -- seemed tired. The former yelled her way through a short, manic set that shredded what was left of her powerful pipes; Aussie Orianthi fared better, her stellar guitar chops accompanying a pleasant but unremarkable voice.

Lambert at the Crystal Ballroom Wednesday night


Looking like the love child of Boy George and Captain Jack Sparrow, Lambert finally appeared at 9:50 p.m. -- nearly two hours after the concert's start time -- launching the show with the thumping dance number "Voodoo," and then working his way through most of the songs from his debut album, "For Your Entertainment," including the infectious Lady Gaga-penned "Fever" and a rushed, acoustic version of his Top 10 hit, "Whataya Want From Me."

The back-to-back ballads that followed -- including the potent "Aftermath" -- were lovely, but the show lost some energy at this point, as it did during a couple of clunky costume changes. Lambert regained momentum after the last of these, sporting a fresh coat of sparkle and finally unleashing his signature pitch-perfect scream during "If I Had You" and on his encore cover of Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love." Disappointing, however, was his breathless rendition of "Mad World," which ended the 90-minute show: The Tears for Fears song that set him apart on "Idol" lost poignancy in the too-hasty live arrangement.

Whether you're one of the fervent fans who waited all day outside the Crystal, or you see Lambert as an overly theatrical talent competition creation, there is no getting around the fact that the guy can seriously sing and knows a thing or two about how to entertain -- which means we'll likely be hearing from Adam Lambert long after the reality show that made him famous is just a footnote on his Wikipedia bio.

With all the words in the English language at our disposal, it's still hard to portray a sense of what it's personally like to attend your first AL/LA live show. My overwhelming thought is that I can't wait to do it all over again! I'd go earlier, stay later and mingle more. I'm home from Portland and eager to write a recap, but the real world has come knocking and off to work I have to go for now.

Wish there was time to describe exactly how much fun it was hanging out with Adam backstage, kicking around a few ideas for some new songs, and doing a tarot card reading with him, but that will have to wait. Oh, yeah and Adam was wearing shorts and one of those white wife-beater shirts while Neil was icing him down. :D I kept wondering what all that ice was for that we kept hearing about. Well, so much for the total fantasy review...in my dreams. I'll be back in the next couple of days with the actual version of my experience....it was wonderful! Enjoy SF for all those that are going!.
