Regarding the tickets I posted about for Wilkes Barre concert: My friend has posted them at StubHub at below her cost, and said there are many tickets available there, and she has had no offers. WTF? This is Adam's FIRST CONCERT, where he is the headliner, and doing a full set on Trespassing (there are 2 opening acts). This is like Fantasy Springs, in that it is a one-off for Adam, and then I think he is going to London to do promo and get ready for Queen. This reminds me of the Houston GNT concert, it was technically sold out, but I had 4 tickets I couldn't give away, and several others had extra tickets, and the whole back row of the lower Orchestra section (at least 40 seats) were vacant, people had moved up to better seats. I hope this concert is packed, but right now, it doesn't sound like it will be, and it is only a 2000 seat theatre. Adam will be so disappointed if he can't fill this theatre for his first concert. What in the hell is going on? If it wasn't 2,500 miles away, I would be there for sure! I'm going to level with you here.  This is what happens when fans buy tickets and then upgrade to other tickets. There ends up being tickets left over that no one will ever use. There are lots of casual fans, who don't read any fanboard or have an "Adam stanning twitter account", who will never know about these tickets at Stubhub. They will check at Ticketmaster and if it is sold out or there are only back rows left, they will pass. Because of the fans who upgraded, there will be empty seats. I refuse to go to a concert for anyone and sit way up in the balcony. I either get lucky and get decent seats or I pay out the ass for good seats. For me, it's just not worth the time and effort and money to sit in the cheap seats. My suggestion: Give the tickets away! There are probably fans who would love to go, but can't afford it. There are probably college kids or young teens that would love to go to a free radio show! |

6 or 5 shows with Queen? I just know about... 3 in London, 1 in Russia and 1 in Polonia... now i am a little confused, because yesterday Adam told in this interview (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_2FLtH_BS94) about 6 shows! The other is Ukraine with Elton John. It may be for the football (soccer) final which will be ther July 1, 2012. Pure speculation. |

Someone asked in another thread why some people preferred the album version of Kickin In to the live version, and I wasn't able to put my finger on it until I watched this video. The driving bass line and punctuating cow bell (?) is what I like about the album version, and what's most prominent to my ears in the live version is the keyboard sound. I also prefer it without the improvisational wailing that he does towards the end. Kickin In is one of my favorite songs on the album, and the live version doesn't sound the same or better to me. :-/ My story is completely different. Kickin In was one of the two songs I didn't like on the album. ( the other was Naked Love). But when I heard it live, my god, I couldn't forgive myself for not liking it! What a jam, what a cool song, the intro, the 'do you feel it' part, Brian's 'bounce, bounce, bounce!' , Adam's voice and body language... Trespassing and Kickin In in a row are an insane beginning for his concerts... Now it's my favourite I still don't like NL. I'll let that song be what it's supposed to be, the glue for new fans... It's ok, I guess ETA Someone wanted to gift me Trespassing from Amazon and I agreed because I wanted to contribute to the sales numbers although I have already bought the album. But when I wanted to download it, it said that Amazon downloads were available in US only:( When he was repeating the "is it kicking in" I thought how great an audience collab that would be once more people are familiar with the song. And my 3 young people, 21,19,and 18 all like different tracks. They seldom buy a complete album ( I took care of that) but buy individual songs they download onto their ipods. And their music is very eclectic...from classical (Mozart, Bach Russian composers for my 18 year old) to classic rock, ACDC, Queen, Stevie Ray Vaughn ,ZZTop etc and dance pop for all. It is impressive that so much of the Trespassing feedback has been the agreement that the set fit so well...something for everyone!! |
