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!

    Hi … sistaSparkle.

    The Indonasian Glamberts are young and fun loving fans. Their Glambertwear will be fabulous.

    Good luck with your new job.
    I’m happy for you.

    unlisted the rest of my QAL videos, hoping they’ll leave them alone.

    I think that riskylady‘s post above has to do with the blocking.

    “And that’s important, because people who feel powerful tend to act differently than those who don’t. In additional studies, participants who had listened to “high-power music” such as Queen’s “We Will Rock You” were more likely to step forward and go first in a debate competition.”

    Whispering quietly in case Believe Music hasn’t heard of Canada – at this point I can still get all those vids.Is there anything I can do to help?

  18. cwm says:

    Believe Music has some kind of contract with Queen, so they’re blocking lots of Q+AL vids on copyright grounds. MAYBE this means that there is a DVD in the works, which would be GREAT, but losing our fan vids sucks! Lots of TALC and cos2mwiz vids from Chicago are gone, some Toronto2 and LA show vids, some of Mark Bowles’ full show multi-cam vids, etc. – they are targeting a variety of venues and a variety of songs.

    I just went in and changed the labels on my vids to make them very oblique – hopefully others are doing the same to protect their vids!

    I haven’t downloaded any vids from this tour yet because I thought I had plenty of time! Hopefully downloads of the best vids have been archived on various sites! (like devanlane’s, terra’s, and Queenzone). I’m at work right now so there’s not a damn thing I can do at the moment.

  19. rs says:

    Somebody has to make DVDs and CDs of the multicam videos and of the best performances so that we well have saved copies. Then we can find a way to distribute them to those of us who still need them. I can see the multi cam, but for some reason, can’t download to realpayer. Am furiously trying to download P’s vids

  20. cwm says:

    Haha Calgary – that’s good to know! Download what you want to keep!

  21. cwm says:

    The good news is that devenlane has archived a lot of vids on her site at http://www.devenlane.blogspot.com. Not everything of course, but hopefully key ones.

    I don’t know how to do torrents either.

    I did have success downloading full show vids from Dallas and Merriweather on keepvid.com.
    Merriweather is 1080, not sure about Dallas. It may be at 720. It took hours, but they did download.

    I haven’t watched videos from many concerts yet as there has been very little time for that. I was hoping for things to settle a bit and savor them one at a time. May be more difficult now. Frown Poop

    Hi guys… I don’t even know what to say about whats happening with the videos, etc. All the hard work… these favorite treasures. I’m so terribly sorry.
    I’ve been furiously trying to find ways to capture them and download, store, etc. Fortunately, I can still access some of Mark Bowles and others full concerts at this point.

    I’m working on a method for download that I’m testing out. If it works, I’ll post it as it’s much faster, and we wont have to worry about torrents, etc.

    I will let you know and give you the info as I test it out myself.

    I guess I don’t understand copyright laws well enough, but, I don’t get it.
    Why is this a copyright violation? This is PERSONAL coverage of the concerts – NOT official videos or professional release that anyone is claiming/embedding?

    Of course we know what it’s really all about ($$$).
    I just wonder how/why can they do this – their legal basis?
    Interesting timing… after the NA leg of the tour has concluded, before the overseas leg.

    Please excuse my ignorance as I haven’t familiarized myself enough with these particular laws, stipulations, etc.

    Adam’s Jersey Girl/Jesha84’s videos really are great, so I’m glad they’re still there and that she is quickly re-naming them.

    From TALC:

    luv2laugh77 @luv2laugh77

    Sad day for all Q + AL NA Tour vids on YT Frown 42 @TALCvids vids were blocked, but we still have many left we are trying to save by info edits

    luv2laugh77 @luv2laugh77

    We are have all original TALC NA Tour vids and are looking into creating full show vids which could be hosted on another site. #DontPanic Smile

    So that’s good.

    smalls – as I understand it, if Believe Music is planning on issuing some kind of commercially recorded DVD from these shows, then that means they have purchased some rights to the songs. Those rights give them the right to remove recordings of the songs by those of us who do not have any rights to the songs (although the recordings are ours, we don’t own the songs or the performances of the songs). Believe Music would see it as a violation of their copyright to have free versions of the recordings available that would compete with their commercial product, for which they purchased rights.

    The fact that they are moving so aggressively gives me hope that there is an official DVD in the works, but it does suck big-time for all of our wonderful fan vids that so lovingly focus on Adam.

    We are a very resourceful fandom, though, so people are scrambling to re-label what can be saved, re-upload to Vimeo or other sites, archive mp3/mp4’s on archive sites, etc. so although it will be harder to access them, hopefully we’ll still have the good stuff available to us.

    ETA: Many here will probably recall that this same problem happened during the Glam Nation Tour, because If I Had You had just been released as a single, so the youtubes of the Glam Nation performances of IIHY kept getting yanked. So videographers came up with very clever ways to prevent their vids from being targeted and blocked, like spelling the name of the songs backwards. LOL

    http://www.fame10.com/entertainment/5-gay-celebrities-who-claim-coming-out-ruined-their-careers/3/

    HK…. This inclusion of Adam on the list is tricky and a bit misleading, imo.
    It’s incongruent with the title as it clearly states that the celeb makes the claim his/her self.
    Adam’s is the only one that doesn’t reference/include any statement from Adam. Um, Gene Simmons?

    cwm… Thank you for clarifying all that for me. What a day and age where entities can own the rights to concert footage…. and, therefore, intrude on the personal experiences of people’s personal treasured & recorded memories. That they’re not selling. Thinking Rolls Eyes

    I think we can say as consumers that personal recordings would not affect our purchase of professional DVD sales… but, I understand industry attempts to protect their bottom line. It’s just business.

    … directly preceded and resulted in this awesome costume and crazy wild performance of Crawl Thru Fire at the Zodiac Show in 2008:

    WOWZA!!

    THIS performance…. It’s just…. OMG. It’s simply…

    Adam’s voice…. His outfit…
    (…the lack thereof. Razz Drool heehee)

    Adam’s voice is simply Insanely good in this. HOT. Hot.
    WOWZA is right!!

    Thank you, cwm Heart.

    What a delightful way to take care of this galGrin.

    smalls – the area of intellectual/artistic property rights is very complicated. But if a performance can be monetized and free unauthorized recordings of those performances are available that would compete with the commercial version, then you can bet your bottom dollar that the companies who own those rights will (eventually) move to protect their investment.

    I’m not an attorney, so those here who are probably know more about this than me. But at my workplace, we’ve had to learn a lot of the ins and outs of intellectual property rights as they relate to our field, and the subject is dizzying in its complexity.

    This clarifies it quite a bit, cwm. Thank you so much.
    It’s still a bit hard for me wrap my head around the industry actually considering these free unauthorized recordings, as wonderful & well-done as they are, actually competing in $$ sales with professionally digitized/produced releases. Particularly considering that the video focus is primarily on Adam himself.

    In a strange irony… What a compliment to our fellow Glamberts and ALLers and their hard-earned, treasured recordings! Smile

    I suppose they’re banking on Adam fans consuming a large chunk towards those sales. In that regard, it makes sense. If & when they are released… I will be snatching those DVD’s up like hotcakes.

    Anyway, you’ve explained it quite well, cwm. Thank you Smile

    So so sad.

    What a total shock. Heart-breaking.

    I’ve adored Robin Williams. SO many good memories surrounding his entertainment and contribution to the industry and our households.
    He’s enriched our lives through decades of his keen acting ability and incredible comedy. What a tremendous loss.

    Depression. Can be such a killer – as in this case.

    I better go see if any others are still up

    Can’t believe Robin Williams is dead Frown

  47. cwm says:

    OMG I am sooo sad about Robin Williams. I loved him. What a comedic genius he was. He brought so much joy and laughter to our world. What a huge loss. I hope he knew how beloved he was. But it’s doubly sad to hear that he was battling depression and feeling so tortured that he saw no other way out.

    Rest in peace now, Robin. Cry

  48. milwlovesadam says:

    Suicide is suspected in Robin Williams. Just saw it on my news.

    I saw him live once in a local improv troupe called Comedy Sportz. Started in my city by Dick Chudnow, and I was there for the show, ( circa 86-88 )and Robin Williams popped in as a surprise, he was in town, his now ex-wife ( his previous nanny ) was from a suburb next to mine, and he just took over, OWNED that stage, and I have never, ever, and I mean ever, laughed so hard. It was painful, my face hurt, my ribs ached, he was relentless, never let us even breathe. I think I may have wet myself a bit. But heck, the whole audience was falling over. Who would notice? I was right up front and scared to death that he would pull me on stage. What a memory. RIP.

    I was just watching Who Do You Think You Are? And they were showing Toronto with Rachel McAdams, and I got lonely for that wonderful wonderful place. Two weeks ago tonight, Toronto 2.

    What is going on with vids???

    I hope, seriously hope, that we can get DVD’s or Cd’s of Toronto 2, from P. I don’t have the tech skills.

    OMG.

    This stuff cannot be lost.

    There are other videographers who have great footage.

    Don’t “they” know that these vids help build a fan base? It seems it would be in the best interest of Queen + Adam to keep them up.

    Videos on You Tube will not decrease attendance at shows, nor will it harm sales of professional DVD’s. Methinks quite the contrary.
