ATLANTA GEORGIA
Welcome to HOTLANTA
Tonight’s show is at the ATLANTA SYMPHONY HALL
Atlanta is the capital and most populous city in the State of Georgia, USA. As of 2009 Atlanta had an estimated population of about 540,900 people. Its metropolitan area is the ninth largest in the country, inhabited by more than 5.4 million people, making it the most populous metropolis in the Southeastern United States. Like many areas in the Sun Belt, the Atlanta region has seen explosive growth since about 1976, and it added about 1.1 million residents between 2000 and 2008.
Atlanta is considered to be a top business city and is a primary transportation hub of the Southeastern United States - via highway, railroad, and air. Atlanta contains the world headquarters of such large corporations as The Coca-Cola Company, Georgia-Pacific, AT&T Mobility, the Cable News Network, Delta Air Lines, and Turner Broadcasting. Atlanta has the country's fourth-largest concentration of Fortune 500 companies and more than 75 percent of Fortune 1000 companies have business operations in the metropolitan area, helping Atlanta realize a gross metropolitan product of US$270 billion, accounting for more than 2/3 of the Georgian economy. Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport has been the world's busiest airport since 1998 (measured by number of passengers). Atlanta also hosted the 1996 Summer Olympics.
During the Civil War, Atlanta served as a vital nexus of the railroads and hence a hub for the distribution of military supplies. The region now covered by Metropolitan Atlanta became the location of several major army battles. Atlanta surrendered the city to the Union Army, and on September 7, 1864 General Sherman ordered the city's civilian population to evacuate. Sherman's army next torched the buildings of Atlanta to the ground, beginning on November 11, in preparation for the march of his army to the southeast—though sparing the city's churches and hospitals.
The Venue
Atlanta Symphony Hall is the home venue of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. It is located within the Woodruff Arts Center at 1280 Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia.
The venue has a total capacity of 1,762 seats on three levels: 1,074 in the orchestra section, 349 in the lower balcony and 339 in the upper balcony. There are also spaces for 12 wheelchairs and 12 companion seats, as well as room for 82 additional seats in the orchestra pit, depending on the stage set-up. The first Atlanta Symphony Orchestra recording (a Robert Shaw Christmas album) was made there in 1975. More Atlanta Symphony recordings have regularly been made there since 1977, but the hall has been severely criticized by critics for its acoustics.
Forecast is partly cloudy with a high of 85…low of 69
Allison will open
Venue is seated It holds 1762. It is SOLD OUT
Show starts at 7:30 Eastern time.
Adam should begin around 9 Eastern

Adam Lambert Fans Have Raised Half A Million Dollars For Teachers Charity
Adam Lambert fans, who joined together to raise more than $316,000 to assist 314,000 underprivileged students in 2009, are at it again. With their glam icon fully behind them, Lambert and his fans are on their way helping fulfill arts and music classroom project requests posted by teachers at http://www.DonorsChoose.org/glam-nation raising about $150,000 in the summer of 2010, for a total contribution of nearing half a million dollars since the fall of 2009.
The newest campaign, Glam A Classroom, started on the Glam Nation tour with Lambert asking fans to contribute to the cause. According to the DonorsChoose.com website, so far 2,472 Lambert fans have been able to raise $148,916, which will assist 124,339 students.
"I can't thank my fans enough for getting involved with the Glam A Classroom campaign to provide much needed resources for public schools," Adam said of his new initiative when the tour began. "I wouldn't be where I am today without the support of amazing music and theater teachers, so I want to help foster the next Ansel Adams or American Idol."
Adam's Glam Nation US Tour will end on September 21st, and so will Glam A Classroom!. According to DonorsChoose.org, teachers nationwide are spending $1 billion per year out of their own pockets due to lack of funding for educational materials and Adam Lambert fans have already chopped nearly half a million from that.
Our hats off to Adam Lambert and his generous fans.

I shall try to give you a mini recap if I can remember. My mind is totally blown.
I didn't have floor seats, so my sis and I were sitting the in the middle portion of the balcony, but it allowed for an excellent view. The glittery gay boys that people are tweeting about were a few rows away from us. They were the stars before Adam hit the stage.
Man, I can't write a detailed one on the fly but I was pleasantly surprised to hear my sis say "OMG, he's so sexual. I need to make him my boo!!" LOL
His vocals were insane! He hit notes that shook the room. Plus, he kissed Tommy and the crowd with berserk (sp?). He chatted with the crowd much loosely and less scripted than before I would say. He also complimented the crowd and even acknowleged us in the upper levels.
Jesus, why can't I remember more?!? angry.gif
QUOTE(raleighfan @ Sep 14th 2010, 11:57 PM)
I'm very happy for you, BossLady!
It was inevitable that your sister would have a crush on Adam. drool.gif
LOL, so true. She may not want to admit it, but I saw her smiling the entire time. She was totally hogging the binoculars and commenting on how his voice was as good or BETTER than Mariah Carey's. Monte really impressed as well, especially the guitar solos on SW and TCB.
Adam Lambert rocks out for a very enthusiastic Atlanta Symphony Hall crowd
Adam Lambert tore down the roof at the very staid Atlanta Symphony Hall Tuesday night. And while the venue was a bit stuffy, Adam wasn’t in the least.
Fortunately, he tamed some of his worst tendencies we saw on “Idol” and that ill-fated American Music Awards performance. Heck, he didn’t even sing “For Your Entertainment.” It merely played on tape to open his hour-long set.
The show flowed well. He started dark, including a short version of “Ring of Fire,” his only cover of the night. He then did a few acoustic cuts. Then he did happier dance songs at the end, including his current his “If I Had You.” (He apparently has dropped “Whole Lotta Love” and “Mad World” from the set recently.) Adam’s brimming confidence and grace on stage made the show easy on the eyes. Overall, it was a visually stunning set (with a simple, yet effective, laser light show).
The crowd included a few teens but mostly women in their 30s to 60s. (Not as many gays as you would imagine.) I do have to say it was one of the most enthusiastic audiences I’ve ever been in. Between opener Allison Iraheta and Adam, the song “I Gotta Feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas got most everyone on their feet to dance, even some folks who are clearly receiving Social Security checks. People actually applauded after “Don’t Stop Believin’ ” and “Sexyback” were played.
Naturally, they stood throughout his entire set, even during his two lengthy costume breaks. (One was filled with dancers. The other, long guitar solos.).
He didn’t utilize that annoying massive scream of his. Rather, he would wail at times but in a way that wouldn’t break glass or break eardrums. I was very happy.
I almost didn’t get into the concert. Apparently, I had no tickets available at will call. And I forgot to bring the name of the person who supposedly set it up for me. A woman with Atlanta Symphony Hall told me this was set up by an outside company so she didn’t have the power to give me any tickets. She said she’d try and told me to wait by the entrance. Just moments before Allison was to start, one of the ticket takers asked me if I was coming in. I said I was having issues with my media access. She then handed me a spare ticket, no explanation given. I thanked her and took it.
I’ll provide more thoughts tomorrow morning. I just wanted to get a couple of videos up first:
Here is Adam singing “Whatya Want From Me” in acoustic form mid-way through the concert:
And here are three very big fans of Lambert (left to right- Andrew Beyer, Lois Gray and Kathy McClain) who were teens when Elvis Presley was big. These three Floridians drove six hours from the Melbourne, Fla. area and plan to see three more Lambert concerts in their state. Kathy later told me she also was a huge fan of Adam Ant in the 1980s.

Dear Adam: You are a bit younger than I...could you slow it down a bit? I am having a hard time keeping up (I'm sure you have no clue about a hard time keeping it up...not based on the view the last few nights devil.gif devil.gif )
So, guys, since the days and nights have sort of run together for me, could you consider this my NOLA & Atlanta recap??? Thanks!
NOLA...just OMG...but you've seen the vids and seen the twits. IMHO, the best show I've been to on this tour. He obviously loves NOLA and gave them what they came for. We had great fun..some of us decided to get Mardi-Gras masks and boas .... quite a few of us were front row pit and stood at the stage. When he came out for Voodoo we all had our masks on...you could tell he loved it and got a kick out of the fact that the fans really got into the game. He works the entire stage very close to the fans on that song and he had a great view of all of us in masks! His vocals were really outrageous..and TCB...well...you all saw Mr. Floorbert!
Yes, he partied afterwards ... and was soooooo adorable. At one point he pullled out his cell and started taking pictures of the crowd outside the VIP room. LOL...we stayed until about 1:30, but missed slightly smashed dancing Adam at the 2nd club. But good for him! He deserves some fun!
The only thing better than tipsy Adam would be naked Adam...js....I will need an Adam blow-up doll with vibrating hips to help me come down from this tour!!

So after 2 full nights of partyiing in NOLa, we headed for Hotlanta on Tues morning
Oh! Hotlanta....you do still rock!! I think Adam had as much, if not more fun than the crowd. He was grinning ear to ear and hip thrusting and then laughing about it for the entire show! Probably the most genuine fun I've seen him have because that cute little boy was out and about during the whole set. He allowed his fans to really see the "Awwww" Adam as well as the "AFL" Adam. :wub:
Maybe it's me, but I find it so very adorable when he does a really sexy move like popping his crotch in our faces and then grins while we scream as if to say "Seriously??? You guys really like it THAT much?" Freak YES, Adam. we do!! :yes: :yes: :yes:
We were lucky enough to have a fan club m&g which made us be at the venue at 5:45 (remember now...not very much sleep for the last 2 nights :fear: :fear: ). After waiting about 45 minutes in the lobby (which was like old home week and lots of friends and catching up in the crowd) Neil came out and led us into the hall of the venue itself (the venue, btw, was lovely). He lined everyone up and went down the line checking ID's. When he checked mine (prollly saying...wtf, lady, they let you out of the nursing home?) I boldy said:
"Neil, can I say something?"
Neil: ok, go ahead
Me: I really miss your blog
Neil: (with a SMILE!) Oh! Thank you! Me too
:w00t: :w00t: SCORE!!! 1st part of my plan to get unfettered access to the GlamGod is in place!!
Pretty good thinkin', right Skanks?? o:) o:)
Part 2....Neil stands in front of the line and says:
"Let me give you the ground rules. No groping. There have been complaints" COMPLAINTS??? WhoTF would complain? And no groping?? Seriously?? You don't understand, Neil...I have a lot of Skanks counting on me..and your brother LOVES the Skanks...he said so!
But, remember, Neil once threw some fan OUT of a m&g, so I figured I'd risk the wrath of Skandom and behave rather than the WRATH OF NEGATIVE NEIL. So, my "touch the GB mission was a huge :fail:
Please, please do not take my card carrying priveleges away...please???? :( :(
So, the real story is this....they had us lined up in a nice carpeted hallway. At the end of the hallway was a small room. We entered the room individually. They set up a table at the entrance to the room where you could leave your purse. Then you turned a slight corner and there was THE GOD. The set up was really nice because you and Neil taking pictures and another guy directing traffic were the only ones in the room and no one else could see or hear your moment with Adam. It was quite considerate and I think some of the earlier complaints had been heard.
Because I really want to remember this I am going to write it all down...feel free to skip over it if you like...
I was about 7 or 8 in line. The first fews people were in and out in a flash...OMG! I thought...they didn't get ANY time with him??? Well my crazy thought process contiinued...I AM NOT GOING TO RUSH!
I was much calmer than the 1st time I met him in Albany (I think I had running at the mouth disease there). I turned the corner and he smiled at me. I was determined to keep eye contact (do not look down even tho' you can see his manicured toes and bare feet in his flip-flops...just DO NOT...and DO NOT STARE at the you-know-what...just DO NOT) SUCCESS!! EYE CONTACT!! (and they were gorgeous!! darkl liner..but soft).
He reached out his hand (I think more to help me up the one step than to shake my hand) and said Hi..so it went like this:
Me: Hi,, Adam we've met before....
Adam: It's so nice to see you again (what a pro!!)
Me: I'm delighted to get a chance to talk to you again. This is my by 15th show
Adam: Reallly?? Thank you!
Me: I can see how demanding this is..so, tell me...how are you? Are you holding up okay?
Adam: (seemed touched that I asked) It's a lot of hard work but I'm okay...I really love what I do so that makes it easier.
Me: I hope you are taking care of yourself...we expect to have you and your music around for a very long time
Adam: Awwww, thank you, that is so sweet (he WAS really touched here..I was surprised)
(At this point, the director guy tried to shove my friend up for the "adam and both of us" picture we had asked for...but Adam was still talking to me and I had not given him his gift yet...so they had to wait)
The gift was a a tabletop book of the history of Led Zeppelin with photos and memorabilia..about their music and their lifestyle .
So, I pulled the book out of the the bag I had it in and handed it to Adam. Coversation continues
Adam: Oh WOW...do you want me to sign this for you?
Me: No, it's for you
Adam: Really?
Me: (some nonsense about having long bus rides and give it away....maybe to his Dad if he didn't want it)
Me: But, I do have something for you to sign...it's the set list from Nashville
Adam: (no comment but a big smile as I opened the flyleaf of the Zeppelin book to retrieve the set list which he signed)
That gave me the oppportunity for him to see that I had inscribed the flyleaf of the book with a note
Me: (BTW STILL HOLDING EYE CONTACT!! YES!! WIN!! NO GB sneakee loookee's o:) o:) ) You can read the note if you'd like...
Adam: (after reading the note) That is soooooo sweet! Thank you!
ME: (Finally realizing that I 'd had a lot of time) turned for the picture (which sux BTW...Neil...keep your day job...you are not a photographer ).
Then my friend (our lurker TennisLover813) got in for the 2nd shot we'd asked for.
Me: Thank you, Adam (my head: thank you Adam for that glorious voice, for that charming personality, for that bad-ass rock star persona and for the best GB I have ever seen!!)
Adam: You're welcome. ...thank you for the book .... that was so thoughtful.
The end. And, I amazingly was able to walk out of the room under my own power...medical history!!
This is sooooo long, guys, sorry.....the smart ones among you skipped over 1/2 of it!!
So quickly...the show was amazing. We were in the 2nd row (I call that "eye contact real estate") center. This is the first show that I have not tried to video or take stills...I just wanted to enjoy it and soak it all in.
He was having a great time and he had a great audience. The grin on his face during some moments was so beautiful...I almost felt as though in his heart he was feeling validated (I said VALIDATED...NOT VIOLATED :D :D :D ) for everything that has brought him to this moment in his life....including the AMA's... and for who he is as a person. IJLHSFM.
