Article will appear on our main site with art work, graphics and will link to our other Queen + Adam Lambert Articles…. Thanks for being so patient my Glamberts… ROCK AND ROLL !!! — AND ENJOY !!
========================
Queen came back in a major way in 2014. They brought in Adam Lambert and the tour kicked off somewhat unceremoniously in the press. I found a chance to go see it on a whim and I went with a group of friends. Nobody in my group was like really excited about this tour. We sat in a Joe’s Crab Shack eating seafood and guzzling back a few brews and it was starting to hit me, “Man, we are actually going to see the epic rock group – Queen”. I knew about the talent of Adam Lambert from American Idol and I was starting to get pumped up about the experience.
We got into the parking lot at the Palace of Auburn Hills which is where they were playing in Michigan and that’s when I saw the fleet of big white trucks. I remember reading about Queen back in their heyday and they always travelled with an extensive light show. There were people standing out by those trucks taking pictures with their cell phones. The words, “Queen +Adam Lambert” was printed on the side of them in big black letters. Now, they people in my car might have not shown any hint of excitement but I could tell already by the gawkers that this was going to be a big deal. We ended up not sitting near each other which might have been a good thing. I got closer to the band than they did and for me this was turning into somewhat of a religious experience.
Paul Glantz, of Emagine entertainment, would sometimes show Queen concert movies in his theaters. I remember getting bummed out during one of those screenings while watching singer Freddie Mercury command the stage and the massive audience. I recall thinking that some people were irreplaceable and magical and once they’re gone they are really gone. Freddy had that kind of power in himself and in his fans. I remembered thinking I would never experience that kind of energy in my lifetime. Maybe, I had missed my chance and that was a long walk back to my car.
Now skip ahead months down the road and I am here live at the, “Queen + Adam Lambert” show. The tour – oddly enough, was called, “Once in a Lifetime” and this perked up my spirits a bit. I could tell that the audience had this, “Paul McCartney Effect” where the young and the old came together and this music was spanning generations. I mean, some of the elderly in the audience were pretty old and I mean that in a good way. Rock music has become this accepted art form for the masses and you don’t see that kind of an audience very often. The young in the audience were very young, as in kids, and the old were pretty old.
THE HOUSE LIGHTS GO DOWN AND IT’S SHOW TIME
The energy was shooting across the halls of the Palace and I can see people buying shirts, getting excited and I am wondering where in the hell the press was on this? I literally didn’t even know this was even happening until my friends told me about it. This was no flash in the pan. This was a big deal. Queen is one of those big epic rock bands and is right up there with The Who, Led Zeppelin, and Aerosmith. This was big for another reason. Queen had tried this before with another singer a few years back, Paul Rodgers, and they didn’t go very far. Rodgers has a great voice and carried the band really well and delivered for the fans. Then I didn’t hear anything more about the band or any more shows and I really wrote them off after that. I pretty much gave up the idea of ever seeing the group live.
“Damn man, where the hell was the press on this?” I kept thinking in my head. “Why weren’t more people notified” I mumbled to myself and I started to wonder if the show had sold out?
I sat back and my mind raced back and forth over the whole thing. I could feel the tension that something big was about to go off. I really didn’t want to miss anything so I made sure that I was in my seat and then the lights started to go down and people started to cheer around me in anticipation. There was a big see through nylon net that draped over the set and it had the original logo of the band. You know the story about this one right? Each animal in the logo represented a member of the band. This came out in the 1970’s when the album, “A Night at the Opera” was released. But I haven’t ever see this used in a modern day promotion of any sort in decades. The idea was still valid of course but tonight it seemed to take on new meaning. I could see we were going back to basics on this tour and there were lots of details about the bands history everywhere I looked. The classic guitar riff, “God Save The Queen” came on as the audience cheered louder and louder. I could see this was going to be a mesmerizing experience.

justin brent @0nehunter69 3h3 hours ago American Idol Adam Lambert The Movie: youtu.be/2-J9qfILcNQ via @youtubeTHIS IS A MOVIE I'D LIKE TO BUY. VERY WELL DONE.HOW CAN WE GET A COPY? I downloaded this back in Dec 2011. Looks like Lamberlust has put it up again on Youtube after locating a torrent somewhere. It was in 480 quality back then and still is. Wish it were in HD...even 720....it would look so much clearer. It was titled AdamLambertTheAIMovie.avi originally. It's a little over a gig should you want to DL it.

I think this Ted Cantu if full of crap & milking the fans for all the hits he can get. QAL had multiple reviews in every city they played and I can count on one hand, the non favorable ones!
