As July ends, so does a fantastic series of concerts by Queen and Adam across North America. It will be a summer that many ALLers will never forget! Q+AL take a few weeks break before heading off to Asia and then for concerts Down Under. If the reception there is anything like it was here, Q+AL can expect to get some major loving!

Enjoy the chat!

    So I have been watching some of Gigi’s videos, the ones where Gregory now Gigi talks about coming out and her choices re surgery and life…I like her a lot. She is my son’s age and making some questionable choices IMHO about the additional cosmetic plastic surgeries, but she seems happy as who she is and her eyes are sparkly and intelligent.
    Gotta say I am curious about where all the money comes from…girl routinely wears Louboutins!

    I was just looking through photos of one of our ALL’ers and was struck by this one:

    http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL629/13192141/23833744/409890281.jpg

    Mind you, I made it look this way so I would be struck by it! Laugh

    Truly though, how beautiful? The wistful, happy, and contented expression, while waiting for the Ste. Agathe concert to start, captures the beauty of the person that I’m happy to know as my friend.

    Here’s the original photo:

    http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL629/13192141/23833744/403519969.jpg

    That empty space behind Kradamour is where I was sitting with with nkd, adamized and Ceddies.

    Kradamour stood the whole time! 3 hours and 20 minutes until show time and she stood there all that time!

    Immediately to Kradamours right, we have a lovely shot of the top of luval‘s hair Grin

    But, directly below dear lovel‘s hair, is another beautiful lady, whom we didn’t know at the time, and was just another person waiting for the show to start.

    It’s such a small world, asmallworld, because she lives here in Toronto Big Smile

    I don’t have her permission to use her name so, all I can say is, she posts a lot of wonderful videos that she takes herself, at Adam concerts, and has generously shared them with us here on ALL.

    Just stopping in real quick to add my “Happy Birthday” to you, jlurks. I’ve been on the receiving end of your generosity several times, and am hoping for you that this day has been either as exciting or as peaceful as you might have wished for.

    As for you cher, I’ll always remember how welcoming you were to this newcomer, and may the next 12 years be as, uh, eventful as the last. Fingers Crossed Ok, I know there’s an in-joke here about the 12 years, but I do wish you a happy anniversary! Rose

    So I just went back and watched a glamnation concert, one of the first ones. The comparison to the Queen production was staggering…glamnation was almost on the level of a high school production, Adam had to do a lot with very little, and he did plenty!
    But looking at it now, after Queen…
    Eek!

    Kradamour, let me firstly just say… you are truly BEAUTIFUL!! Rose

    What a lovely photo of you Ron has posted. I enjoyed reading your little mini trip with him down memory lane at Ste Agathe. (thanks, Ron Wink)
    From what I’ve heard here and seen in videos… that was a very special concert, with several of you wonderful ALLers creating unforgettable memories together.

    Secondly … I have thought the very same about Adam.
    Wow, how remarkably far he has come…

    With Era3 around the corner … what will he do for a band that won’t seem even a tad bit of a let down after a world-class act behind him such as he’s enjoyed for the last few months? This is the band of his dreams. As much as I respect and have enjoyed Adam’s band from previous eras – they are talented, no doubt, and Adam is very loyal – but Queen is, well… QUEEN. An international, iconic sensational band unlike very many others.
    A double sided sword, perhaps? Chance of a lifetime opportunity for Adam, major thrust in his career…. and yet, at the same turn, maybe difficult to go back to fronting productions that aren’t on that level? Will it be difficult to adjust?

    Imo, It’s going to be reeeeally interesting to see what Adam does next.
    And SO much FUN.
    And whatever it is…. we know it will be jaw-dropping & fabulous.
    It’s Adam. He can’t help it… it’s who he is. Grin

    PS. Hope whatever is taking place in your RL that is causing you concern resolves to bring you & your loved ones the best … and that you experience peace, dear Kradamour. Rose

    LOL, I’ve never seen this video until now. Thank you, turquoise!

    Gosh almighty, Adam is just SO cute and intense in this.
    The little “flickers”… lol. Love it. Grin

    I do enjoy his enthusiasm in this video and with it, his perfectionist streak.
    It’s part of what makes him so great.
    Amusing also to see how others have reacted to his flashy ideas. ;D

    Brings to my mind a quote he’s brought up a few times in interviews in the last two years or so. I recall him saying he tries to adopt it as words to live by:

    “Part of being in control… is knowing when to surrender.”

    Lol… Wonder if he’s had to learn the hard way? Wink Grin

    Hmmm… I’d say this guy knows what he’s talking about. Good article! Yes

    Great to see such a first-rate & accomplished writer defend and praise Adam with balanced facts & high regard, and even question other reviewers.

    Happy Birthday jlurks! Beer
    Whew! Just made it under the wire since we share the same time zone! Clock
    You and my niece share a birthday but she is turning 30 today and you are forever 29!! Rainbow
    I look forward to meeting you one of these days!

  35. cher says:

    Hi all! Thanks for all your anniversary wishes! Now Ron, how could it have been my 30th anniversary when I’m supposed to be 29!! Chic


    Are you going to Popeye’s Chicken?

    I love Popeye’s Chicken?

    Yeah, asif that was lunch. Smirk Standard m-o on Sundays for DH and the anniversary made no difference. Then had to attend a birthday party for one of his nieces so spent the evening with family which was fine. Now back to my paperwork for July. Deadline today so it’ll be done when the sun comes up…. love to procrastinate. ROTFL

  36. cwm says:

    I’m a tad late to the party, but I just wanted to say:

    1. Happy Birthday, jlurksacto!! You are such a lovely, kind, friendly, generous person with the best smile ever!

    2. Happy Birthday, france! It was delightful meeting you in LA and NYC!

    3. Happy Anniversary, cher! May you have many more happy years of sneaking off to AFL concerts while your hubby is none the wiser!

    4. GO DR. BRI! You are the BEST!!

    I never noticed has bamboo shirt in that video before. He really does keep and wear his favorite shirts for years.

  40. TLKC says:

    So glad I saw Adam up close before this surgery…his features would not have been clear to me.

    Well now, riskylady you will absolutely have to see Adam in concert next time around because, after the surgery is complete – he will be very, very clear, indeed.

  41. TLKC says:

    Belated birthdays greetings to jlurksacto and france and a very happy anniversary to cher.

  42. TLKC says:

    Brian didn’t mince his words, did he? Sounded more like Roger, actually. He must be getting fed up. He’s been very patient. I hope his feet and knees and fingers don’t give him too much trouble over the next few weeks.

  43. TLKC says:

    Love that video turquoisewaters; a wonderful glimpse of Adam as a hungry young man. It is particularly fun to watch with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight. However much more he wants for himself (and we for him) he has done very, very well.

  44. rs says:

    Darling M, If you are lurking, this is for you. I hope that your post-QAL landing hasn’t been too stressful, and that you are adjusting back to the realities of daily life after the adrenaline high of your 9 (was it?) concerts this summer. You and your lovely P (my photography mentor) were the only ones who were with me for all three of my concerts. And we shared especially close quarters (I hope not too close) in the pit at Merriweather, but I hope that it was worth it, being within feet of Adam when he sang Jimmy-crack-corn and when Brian performed his amazing solo right in front of us. I miss you sweetie Heart. Please don’t go back to permanent lurker status again. Come back and play with us. Jump

  45. Kradamour says:

    So that bamboo shirt is at least 8 years old.

    Loved the zodiac vid.
    What ever became of the Zodiac show movie? Did that ever happen?

  46. turquoisewaters says:

    Happy belated anniversary, cher!!

  47. riskylady says:

    Wow, HK fan that segment on Adam is so erroneous I can’t imagine how they get away with it. The whole thing is a quote from Gene Simmons. How is that a claim by Adam??? (And he has NEVER said such a thing.)
