Well, I just gotta say, it was awesome! Despite arriving midway through Now I'm Here (Greg, theres the name for the bootleg!).......I thought Adam sounded damn good....Brian was just on fire..........the crowd was awesome! (attendance of 18,818!)
It was a fantastic show. The atmosphere there was fantastic.
If it weren't for google maps giving me completely wrong directions on the way to pick up The King Of Rhye, we wouldn't have missed the first songs (The King Of Rhye got there during Now I'm Here and I lost a few more songs to get my recording gear all straightened up)! Sorry for the inconvenience!
I'll get the full reviews written after I attend the Toronto shows!
'Detroit' crowds are often the best, and always will be. Saw Queen on BTB nights back in '80, and the difference between the crowd enthusiasm at Joe Louis Arena and the Richfield Coliseum in Cleveland was quite noticeable.
Greg (to late now), but use mapquest next time, for goodness sake. I've lived in metro Baltimore for fifteen years, the roads are not laid out in grids like most of metro Detroit (where I can still visit without a map), and are erroneous too often to mention.
Other than that, glad you all had a good time.
Detroit City Rocks.
I was here too and thought it was a great show. I was happy to see a lot of the crows knew Love of My Love and what to do during Radio Gaga. Nice to see it packed, but Detroit has always loved its rock and roll. Even the Hot Space tour was well attended.
Granted, you had the fans who only knew the 73-81 material, but hopefully this tour will get them to want to pick up some of the later albums, too.
I thought Adam was in good voice. Wish they'd have done Don't Stop Me Now.
You guys needed a GPS, which my son swears by. He got us to Chicago and Detroit by "following the red line!"
I'm glad I got to meet you briefly, King of Rhye and that you did see most of the show! Good that Greg will be at the Toronto shows. I'm just blown away by this spectacular, mind blowing show and wish everyone in North America could have the opportunity to attend!
I was at Chicago and Detroit -- Detroit was even better than Chicago and the audience was so much more enthusiastic in Detroit. And the call-and-responses part with Adam and the audience was amazing -- the crowd stayed right with him.
They have made some adjustments (for the better) since Chicago. Also, the sound mix in Detroit was excellent.
The highlight for me was when Brian went to the B Stage before "Love of My Life" and he got a long, long ovation and the crowd just roared. He put his hand on his heart and really was visibly moved.
