I was just inspired to try to remember all my Adam concerts and all my QAL concerts. Not a huge number - I think 11 for Adam solo and 9 for QAL. A lot of which were shared with family and friends. Farthest journeys were for Ste Agathe and Winstar for Adam, and Isle of Wight for QAL.

How in the world did you guys add up your Adam solo and QAL shows Karen & Bama? I started keeping track of trips in 2003, long before I started following Adam. It's interesting to see the places I've been, and whether they were driving trips, flying trips, cruises, or Adam's concerts. It's all on a spreadsheet which I add to whenever I go somewhere new. The spreadsheet now has 109 trips/events on it, almost half because of Adam. As others have said, he has enriched my life in many ways, including bring great new friends into it.

I love those eyes without all the make-up. No disrespect to those who feel differently.

How in the world did you guys add up your Adam solo and QAL shows Karen & Bama? I wouldn't know how many lol which means probably a lot. Not much in life gives me more pleasure than hearing Adam sing live, so I've indulged that. When family/friends ask why I see the same concert over again, I point out that they have seen the same team play the same game over and over again, or the same musical theater or ballet etc - and they don't have much of a response. I work hard, and have the energy so I should get to spend my time and money on what gives me pleasure. I have flown across country (and even once to Vancouver for the night ha) for 1 night and back again a few times so I could be at work Friday and Monday, catching Adam in between! Not only has Adam given me so much pleasure, but the people I've met along the way have enriched my life, and new places I've seen also. I usually manage to fit in a side of sightseeing in whatever locale Adam is in. For instance, we visited Newport (Breakers mansion) while in Rhode Island to get to Foxwoods show recently. These past 10 years have been a blast! Thank you Adam! It was great to meet you very briefly only recently, didilynn . I totally get what you're saying. I flew from SF to NYC for one night only, to see Adam and Queen at MSG during their first North American tour in 2014. Priceless. As I took a red eye there I had a few extra hours on concert day and managed to tour the Rockefeller Center and observation deck prior to heading off to the venue. Plus I met some lovely Glamberts after the show. My family and friends do tease me about my obsession here and there, but it's all in good fun. They are all surprisingly supportive. I too can't possibly add up all the Adam solo and Adam Queen concerts, and everything in between. I stopped counting after Glamnation, which was a total of three concerts only, and Trespassing which amounted to 10 events at least. Once Queen came into the picture I definitely lost count... I can safely say that my obsession to see Adam live has increased.

I have no idea how many Adam and QAL concerts I have been too -- but I keep ticket receipts from all of them. Plus, I have many of my old Queen concert ticket stubs -- some were only $5.25!
I will have to tally it up some time.
My first Adam live concert was in 2009 Adam Idols Live in Little Rock, AK. It was an odd first concert since almost everyone was a Kris fan. Then I went to a second Idols Live concert in Memphis, which was packed with Adam fans. Adam was equally great both time but seeing him with an "Adam crowd" In Memphis was betterer.
