Also love beginning of WWTLF when you could barely hear Adam over crowd singing along. And can't ignore the Improv at beginning of I want it all - so glad that's still a thing. Adam and Dr Bri should release an EP of just them doing that!

Memories that are rushing back to me tonight-------I visited my daughter when she was studying abroad at the University of Barcelona. Fell in love with all the Gaudi architecture and the beauty of the city, the people, the aroma of olive oil everywhere, the Picasso Museum,the massive Olympic stadium,gorgeous leather boots in the window displays, our excursion to the beautiful Mediterranean Sea, and the bustling pace of the city---and the serenity of everything- pausing, just to take a little siesta,in the middle of the day. Oh, how I wish I were there tonight---but, I really am , in the recesses of my mind,because memories like this,stay with you forever. I hope everyone there in Barcelona tonight has an unforgettable time dancing and singing along with QAL----and that you hold on to these special moments for always. It's one of my favourite cities, just love it..

You are so right, bridgeymah---this photo is iconic. It shows us exactly where Adam was always meant to be, and I found myself staring at it for so long.... Now let me tell you a funny story that always makes me grin when I think of it. When I was a young teacher, working in second grade in Brooklyn, I used to find all kinds of ways to make my lessons catch the attention of my little ones. When teaching the initial consonant sounds, I would try creative ways to get the sounds across---blowing bubbles, for example, for the "B" sound, etc. I wanted to give the children a sense of anticipation-- so I told them we were going to save the best surprise for the very end. And that would be the best of all. "Please tell us,"they would say---but, of course I made them wait. The day of the consonant Z approached at last!!! When I arrived at my school, I ran into the ladies room to change.{ I couldn't travel the NY subways to work, in my surprise getup!} The bell rang at last, and I rushed to greet my 7 year olds-black slacks, black blouse ,black cape and smart looking black fedora-! The children were thrilled when they spotted me coming down the hallway---and when we went into the classroom,following 30+ Good Morning hugs and opening exercises,I grabbed my blackboard pointer ,{my "sword,"} jumped up in my chair, and sang OUT in the Night , When the Full Moon Is Bright,Comes a Horseman Known as Zorro!!!" Now how does this relate to Adam? Well, just look at him! And when I do, I see me standing on that chair, glancing down at those giggling, entranced weasles who I bet will never forget the initial consonant sound of Z !!!!! What a great story! You have the characteristics of a an excellent teacher, I bet your little gems loved you!

adamrocks thanks for this! I've got it downloading. My little MacBookPro is humming right along. Hope it works. I had the same problem as others last night with the big file. It quit at 87%. I've printed the instructions to put these files together. Might need help with that. lol #techtard

Still immersing myself in the wonderful bounty from Lisbon and have to agree with what others said about 'Play the Game'. It vocally sits so perfectly in his sweet spot, it is absolutely stunning to listen to. His head voice shines in all its colorful layers, just brilliantly. And when his voice drops back down, it is like velvet, so warm. He will need to sing it a few more times to become more sure-footed with it, but it is all there. Great choice, to include this song. Somebody was mentioning that he is camping it up a tad too much, I actually thought he was singing it mostly straight, maybe because he was still concentrating on the song itself, rather than because he would not want to push it more. I agree he does not need to do more, but I think he is doing it just the way it was meant to be. Interestingly, I think that the visual change for Killer Queen has changed that dynamic a bit. I think, the new look is so much darker, more goth, that him playing it still quite lightheartedly camp, like it worked for the previous tour, actually seems a bit ajar for this version. I think he will need to find a darker version of camp, to make this work with the new visuals, and I bet, he will. And WWTLF, oh my God! So beautiful, I love these new visuals with those lasers and the moving clouds overhead, while below, where Adam is standing, it is kept simple. Looking forward to seeing a version filmed from further back, where the laser show can be seen, and yet his vocals shine in all their 3-D layers, all the way to the rafters. Here is the vimeo version of the show. twitter.com/shuboogie/status/734175484464922626
