My Queen + Adam Lambert Experience

So last night I had the best night of my life. I FINALLY saw Adam live, which I've wanted to do so for 5 years. Seeing him with Queen was an extra bonus because I've grown up with their music. So I guess i'll just start with the beginning where I got to the Brisbane Entertainment Centre.

So as we drove up past the Entertainment Centre i could feel the nerves in my stomach building. The nerves were kinda more like "Is this really happening nerves" and I could feel my heart beating in my chest. As we walked to the entrance hundreds of people were all decked out in Queen gear....Adam merch was a little scarce xD But overall the atmosphere was great!
Next we went to the merch stand (me being me I'd already picked what I wanted) but we had to wait at least 40 minutes just to get to the front of the line. While waiting my friend pointed out the curtain through the doors leading into the arena. It was all lit up in purple and my breathing got heavier and I felt sick. Eventually we got out merch and an announcement came to start making our way into the arena. As I entered and was confronted by the huge curtain I started to freak and couldn't take my eyes off it. As we made our way down to the floor seats we had (just a few rows back from the circle end of the catwalk) it really started to set in that I would see Adam in the next 20 minutes. The arena was filling fast and the intense music played softly. At times it got louder and smoke started to appear and I thought it was about to start. But to no avail they were just building tension. As the arena became more full the crowd started the We Will Rock You "stomp stomp clap" before anything had even happened. FINALLY, at 8:20 the lights dimmed and it began, i kept saying in my head "NO NO NO I'M NOT READY FOR THIS! GIVE ME 10 MINUTES TO COMPOSE MYSELF PLEASE!" but nope the first notes to Now I'm Here commenced and I was shaking uncontrollably. "Here I stand.....look around" His voice filled the arena and my eyes shot open. The shaking got worse and i had a lump in my throat. "Now i'm here!" Then i see his shadow appear on the right hand screen and I completely lost it. "Now i'm there" His shadow once again appeared for a second. "I'm just A!!!!!" The curtain shot up and there infront of my eyes was the man i'd looked up to for so many years. He was standind literally 60 metres or so away and I couldn't deal with anything anymore. I burst into tears and sobbed hard. I couldn't take my eyes off him. He just looked so perfect. Like every picture i'd seen him in. I must have cried through Stone Cold Crazy and half of Another One Bites The Dust until i'd started to calm down....kinda xD. I was speechless. His voice sounded just like i'd expected it to (idk if that makes sense but like...it did sound more high pitched in person but yeah)

The concert progressed and Adam did his usual grind during Fat Bottomed Girls which gave me a mini heartattack. I sung my heart out to In The Lap Of The Gods because it's such a fun song. Then came Killer Queen which is my favourite song of the concert. Adam lay on the couch, kicked his legs up, licked his microphone and spat "champagne" on the audience. I laughed, i freaked, i died. I loved it when he said "Does anyone feel like a killer queen, with tassles and shit....the women can relate...but the men are like "get on with it mate...i wanna hear rock" *he said the last bit in an Aussie accent*
Everytime he left the stage i felt empty and just wanted to look at him again. Brian and Roger's songs were amazing. Their solos, the drum battle, the guitar solo was brilliant.

When Adam sang Who Wants To Live Forever my heart stopped because it was so beautiful and it's my favourite Queen song. My eyes watered but I was composed. I knew the concert was coming to an end and I wanted it to last forever. The sing along. The last few songs before the encore. Hell people even thought Brian's selfie stick was a golf club hahaha!

Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions were absolutely incredible. When they finally walked off stage I was in a state of euphoria. But also instantly missed the sight of Adam. And so the post concert depression started
