The only reviews I've read are from the first night and now the reviews from the only concert I could attend. Here's a great review from National Rock Review with some awesome pictures.
What I loved about the show was that at no point did it feel like we were watching a cover band or that Adam Lambert was trying to fill Mercury’s shoes. Lambert put his own stamp on it, and made it more of a celebration of Freddie Mercury and Queens Music. With the crowds response throughout the show, there is no question that Lambert was the right and possibly the only man for the job. Simply put, it couldn’t have been any better.
OMG these pictures!!!!

She has only posted a couple on twitter (so far). Does anyone know if she uploads to a photobucket or something?

Yes she does...smugmug. I know Ali...I'll let you know when she posts her pics. Tennis Lover & I gave Ali and Luv2Laugh77 (who does the videos) our seats at this show cause the guys in front of them were HUGE! SAnd we didn't mind standing at the stage.

Ali and Luv2Laugh77 (I'm terrible remembering names) were so sweet, and I was sure to give them the fandom's huge appreciation for all of the wonderful vids and photos!

My RL friends that went to Philly QAL are promoting him on their FB. Suggesting to friend to go to AC Show

Oh,Marie...noooo!! I've done it and I know how it feels...but not 4 hours worth!!
Take a break, BB. Everyone will survive....they can find this stuff on their own until you're up to it.

>.< I fcking hate it when that happens! I once lost 3 weeks worth of work and had only 4 days to re-do it. I nearly slit my wrists. I second Marsha's suggestion, take a break!
There's always one - there was one in Vegas that hopes she never sees my daughter again. She asked me to trade seats with my size 0 daughter - I'm fluffy so I guess I was too big for her to see around. My daughter is 5'5" and had on 6" heels so after trading places with me, she stood the ENTIRE concert just because the woman was such a bit$h and the poor short little thing couldn't see past her at all. haha.gif
I guess it takes all kinds. huggy.gif

Oh, that's rude! You wanted to sit with your daughter, not some stranger! That was nice of you guys.... I don't think I would've traded seats at all.

Philadelphia is the only concert I was able to attend. I didn't watch any videos before Philly and I haven't found the time to watch any since, until now. I just watched the entire Philly concert...many thoughts...
First, I wish I had been able to go to another concert. I realized as i watched the videos that there was so much I missed. I think being there live I was in a state of 'omg it's Queen + Adam' and it was difficult to stay in the moment. Can I have a do-over? :haha:
Adam really is stunningly beautiful and even after all this time he still takes my breath away.
After watching the videos the songs I thought were my favorites that night are still my favorites -- Who Wants to Live Forever, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, The Show Must Go On.
I want to dive inside Who Wants to Live Forever and wrap myself up in it - it really is an extraordinary vocal performance.
As Adam walks to the middle of the catwalk stage during We Are the Champions wearing that suit and that crown and he truly commands the crowd I want to cry. He's living the dream - a dream he didn't even have!
Now, I've got to figure out which are the best videos of each song and learn how to make a dvd (I've never done that before).
He makes me so happy. I'm so glad I've stayed on this crazy train all these years. Can't imagine not being a part of this journey. As this leg begins to wind down (Queen concerts) can't wait to see where the train takes us next. I have no doubt it will surprising and fun and crazy and perfect!

Philly was my first concert, and I'm definitely glad I got to go to another, which was Atlantic City 10 days later. I'm also glad it was that much later than my first. I felt that the energy at AC was so much better, idk what it was about it, but to me (and my friends that also went to both) it was just a better show all around for some reason. Maybe since it was the last US show idk. But I know what you mean, I was able to take in more this time. Plus I was on the floor and previously I was on the side, so a different view as well. Definitely much louder on the floor. Was thrilled they did Dragon Attack for us! Wish we'd also have gotten Love Kills & TSMGO but I'll take what we got with gratitude. What an incredible tour and you really do need to go to more than one show, imo.
I wonder what they have planned for the international shows. Bri's already said they're changing it up. So now we hafta watch the ustreams again (if available) - oh the agony! :haha: (oh the lack of sleep again!)
