Nope, I'm in the QAL part so that post being about QAL is in the right place and some people might want to see it since it's showing how the start of NIH is done.

It's a Queen board. At first it shows AL putting on makeup, getting pumped for the show. There was very little of NIH. I don't follow AL's social media, but I'm kind of surprised he let it be shown how he prepares. It would have been nice to see Brian, Roger and AL interact before the show.

It shows the set up, Brian & Roger already on stage in position and how Adam sings parts from the bottom of the stairs and halfway up while keeping out of view until the part where he's meant to appear. Why would he not show that on his stories, can't see what's wrong with it and he shows his fans all sorts of things on his insta stories. And I know it's a Queen board but this section is for Queen + Adam, there's two other parts for Queen only conversations.

As far as I know they all get together just before a show and run through harmonies to warm up, it showed a bit of that in the documentary then they split and do their last minute bits and get organized on stage depending on how the opening number is gonna be done. I haven't seen any similar one's on his insta before but he has occasionally posted bits from rehearsal/soundcheck etc. Maybe they'll release some actual footage of rehearsal and prep before a show the way they did with Freddie at some point, would be interesting to see.

I'd like to see them rehearse and to get some insight how that happens.

SweetCaroline wrote: rockchic65, Yes it’s NOT about Adam “preening!” I find it fascinating because the opening music has already started and he is casually putting in his ear monitors, interacting with the stage people and then doing what the audience doesn’t see: singing the opening lines of NIH, showing the precision of hitting the right spots as the music plays. The Show Must Go On documentary showed us how they do the warmup vocals before a show and walk together down a hallway. This clip gives an insight into where those quick costume changes take place right under the stage. I saw something similar once about Gaga and her many costume changes literally right under the main stage with several people undressing and dressing her while she was in motion for the next part of the show. Performers obviously love what they do to be so professional both on stage and behind the scenes.

SweetCaroline wrote: They also removed “Machines” from the set list after AOBTD which is breaking my heart. It is my new favorite and I am seeing the show next Tuesday. That has been such a cool addition with Freddie’s image on the stage and him singing the bridge. I thought maybe Tyler was ill because I think it has been him harmonizing with Adam in that song! PLEASE put it back, B&R !!!

SweetCaroline wrote: Good grief, watch the documentary! It showed all of that during their Las Vegas residency last year. They all entered the stage together. The current show has Roger, Spike, Neil and Tyler already positioned on stage and both Brian and Adam entering separately at two different times.

Who is that from may I ask? Still not able to think for yourself, are you.

That was a quote from Spike.

I'm underemployed at the moment, so I wasn't able to "splurge" on expensive seats. The tickets were sky high in price, I held off, then every last one was sold very quickly, even 2nd hand ones. So unlike previous years, where a small batch of seats were released the week prior to the show, this was sold out hard. Crickets. So I have my memories; but I was disappointed last Q+AL tour, honestly (the 2nd I had seen). The clips I see on YouTube from this one looks better in a lot of places, so it makes me wish I could have gone. Don't know whether they did it in Chicago or not, but among others, IILWMC in Philadelphia really looked & sounded great. And COMPLETE. Ah well. Maybe we'll see some live clips cobbled together for a tour video or something. I hope so, because the production looks superb. Loved Brian's costume in the BoRhap solo. Adam had a lot of fun with fans, too, evidently. LOL. And I love that they threw in a smidge of Doing All Right. But PERFORM Innuendo and I'll take a 2nd mortgage just to go... trust...
