Bands usually airship everything, so not that much more time than UK to Toronto. The tech crew needs 1 day to set it all up. Queen has more then one backup for everything -- for Q+AL so far, Brian had 14 amps and used 3, Neil had 18 amps and used 4. The lighting and screen are all modular. The only things there is only one of are the Q (tubular steel and not likely to be damaged) and the catwalk. There is, of course, only one red special and that travels with Pete. I am not sure if there is a back-up couch but there are two campaign bottles. *** Queen usually rehearses without the set and equipment first. They with the stage setup. Also, in the past the band rehearsed without Adam for a few days. They might do this in the UK. I am still really surprised that there will be no UK rehearsals with Adam -- and I am just a bit skeptical. Shoshanna has not always been reliable about Q+AL info. chaise longue

Anyone who's interested I'll be live tweeting the show. My twitter handle is the same as my name here... bridgeymah warning there may be some well placed snark (of course not about Adam)... If you want to follow the overall feed is #TheVoiceAu and I think they are also starting to us #VoiceLives this week. It's pretty hilarious at times. I love reading your blow-by-blow of TheVoiceAU, bridgeymah. The tears roll down my face at times. You need your own blog, sister. LOL just happy can deliver a few laughs. Many of the comments are from my other half - is our The Voice watching bargin. He'll watch it if I tweet his comments. He's quite the snark master, but then they do make it almost too easy.

Strangest thing just happened. And all my training as an Adam fan just paid off! Last night I watched a Showtime special about Elvis Costello. I am a big fan but have not seen him live for years. I said to my husband that I would love to see him in concert and to let me know if he ever has a concert near us -- Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Columbus area. About 30 minutes ago, he told me that he just saw that Elvis Costello is playing tonight at Blossom Music Center -- which is the amazing amphitheater 15 minutes from our home. He said, too bad because it is sold out and we can't get tickets. But, being an Adam fan, I know it is always possible to get tickets. I immediately search the three best broker site, found 5th row center seat for a reasonable price, and we are off to see Elvis Costello in a couple of hours!! I have used broker sites pre-Adam but I was never so expert, so fast and I certainly did not have accounts on all the major sites! Love Elvis Costello - have a great time! Not such a fan of his wife, Diana Krall - she has a strange effect on me. I once borrowed a car with her CD in the player. Loved it at first but as it went on, something in the rather droning tone started making me feel physically sick.......I experimented again months later and the same thing happened. For fans of Diana - she is beautiful and talented....the effect on me is inexplicable. How does this relate to Adam? He doesn't make me feel sick at all!

Oh I can't belittle I called it a couch! Do I lose my fan card? Back to back non-Adam concerts for me. Sam Smith last night. Elvis tonight. Neither is a substitute for the real thing. I am spoiled. ETA: My phone changed my attempt to type believe into belittle! So funny I am leaving it.

I have long ago come to the conclusion that Adam has spoiled me for pretty much any other singer. I'll listen to someone and I'll like it to begin with then they get either nasally, screechy, growly, strained ... things I don't think I was ever as aware of before becoming so intimately familiar with Adam's voice. The others I still enjoy are different and unique (ie. Lucinda Williams), so pure (ie. Alison Krauss), but most pop voices these days just annoy me even if the song appeals. #adamruinedme
