I don't think we have this. QUEEN NewsFlash @wwry_jp 33m33 minutes ago More ☆ Queen and Adam Lambert rock Vegas - Las Vegas Review-Journal dlvr.it/PQVG9j #queen www.wwry.jp Queen and Adam Lambert rock Vegas
By Robin Leach Niche Division of Las Vegas Review-Journal June 27, 2017 - 10:00 am The thought exists that when an incredible band member has died then there’s no positive future left for the remaining members. You’d certainly think that true of Freddie Mercury and Queen. But together with Adam Lambert, they proved that allegation totally unfounded in the Saturday (June 24) show they presented at our T-Mobile Arena. In fact, guitarist Brian May and Roger Taylor played like they’ve never played — out of respect for the late great singer. Adam, with his hair dyed bright red, was outrageously dressed in an American flag vest wearing huge oversized sunglasses, large earrings and fingerless gloves — and that was just one of his outfits. The platform boots covered in sparkles and his shirts decorated in glittery lips would stock a slew of rock bands for a decade. A pink bicycle was covered in roses for his “Bicycle Race” single and the duet between Tyler Warren on percussion and Roger Taylor on drums turned out to be a battle royale! Lit solely by one spotlight in the darkened arena Adam told the sold-out crowd that nobody could replace the enormous talent of Freddie Mercury. “I’m just a fan who has the honor and privilege to sing with my favorite band.” Adam and the band who have been playing together since 2012 belted through the 25-song set list which included five numbers from the “News of the World” album. The image on screen of Freddie Mercury and Roger May was an emotional high point of the amazing concert especially when it somehow morphed into Roger and Adam on the edge of the stage close to the fans. Our thanks to contributing photographer Tom Donoghue for his gallery of closeup photos from the amazing night of music. Queen always asked” “Who Wants to Live Forever”- maybe not as famous as “Bohemian Rhapsody” or “ We Are The Champions” – and the answer after this concert was “ The Show Must Go On.” Very nice review. Too bad the author got the names mixed up!

It was definitely scaled down but the only people who would miss it would be those who had seen Phoenix and Vegas. No, it would not have been better to play Staples. Don't think they would have sold out 2 night there. Thanks, Patti. is Staples not that popular? It's not much bigger size wise, around 19k...may be more expensive to book it I guess... btw, looks like they released a few more seats for tonight, I see about 400 available on TM, mostly for $250 Staples is smaller. Have never seen a concert there with a 19K capacity. Yes, HB is more popular. Iconic! Iconic band in iconic venue! ❤️❤️

Anyone know if tonight's show is sold out?? The first show was sold out -- it is beautiful on the marquee. There are still tickets for tonight's show (including a few good ones) but it may be technically sold out by showtime.

OT but very touching on Pridefests. Many feels with this. Bringing it back to Adam...he has become a spoken person for the LGBTQ communtiy and equality for everyone so I think he would appreciate this. PRIDE NYC Cop Goes Viral With Touching Pride Message
"For anyone who’s had to hide who they are. I’ve got your back. Love is Love."
by Cody Gohl 48m ago A New York City cop has gone viral after sharing a heartfelt Pride tribute on social media. Just before setting off to work NYC Pride Sunday morning, the outspoken ally posted a photo of himself wearing an “I May Be Straight But I Don’t Hate” on Facebook along with a touching message of solidarity. “I’ll be out there working at Pridefest today wearing this shirt under my uniform for a lot of reasons,” he explained. “For my step brother. For my priest. For my aunts who died before they could be legally married.” “For all of the cops I have worked with over the years, including one of the best [partners] I’ve ever shared a sector car with,” he continued. “For my classmate in High School [whose] parents made him sleep in a tent in his yard. For the man who cried on my shoulder about losing his partner on 9/11. For every call I went to where someone got kicked out of their house or [whose] family just didn’t understand.” He concluded: “For anyone who’s had to hide who they are. I’ve got your back. Love is Love.” Huge Fat LoserJune 25 at 8:45am · I'll be out there working at Pridefest today wearing this shirt under my uniform for a lot of reasons. For my step brother. For my priest.

Neil and Elisse live in San Francisco, they are much more likely to be at the San Jose show if they have a trusted for the little one. Oh right, maybe. I knew they live in SF but not where that is in relation to San Jose, which I'm not familiar with. Off to Google maps! Which show(s) are you attending Gracie? Just Houston. Closer should be wild.

One more: I thought the Captain America outfit features a jacket with black sleeves and red band...but the LA pictures look like it's a vest with black long sleeve shirt ...or may be the jacket sleeves are detachable? This is LV, I think the sleeves are just soft enough that they can be rolled up.
