LOL, I think there was some flailing over Adam with a monocle

inscrutable7: Sign at Royal Oak. http://tweetphoto.com/27900371

Is that L intentional? :o

Between the little poppet in the fabulous pink boa and the droopy L, I've got a fit of the giggles

NoAngelPF: Neil out on stage w clipboard looking at instruments. Crowd ROARED! He laughed & shook his head :)

mindchnger: Neil just got a lot of cat calls when he walked across the stage. He was laughing his ass off

mindchnger Geez security just came barreling thru GA to take cam away from girl taking pics

(Might not get much footage tonight.)

Awwww, that's pretty cool. There's a ASL person doing sign language for the whole concert :)

Slathered in glitter, I love it! Also, masculine arms + feminine arm positioning = unf.

At the very end Adam, Monte, LP, and Tommy all goofed around together. Watch for it in the vids.

I really hope someone captured it and will upload on YT. *fingers crossed*

Hey, guys. It's 12:30 am and I'm sitting in the lobby of a Radisson somewhere in freaking Michigan because no wireless in my room. That's how much I love ya.

I know the superlatives get old, but this show was incredible! Of the three shows I saw this week, I think this was the best, vocally. And this was the loudest, most responsive crowd I've seen. Adam and the band seemed to react to it -- it was a super high-energy show.

No Broken Open, both Mad World and WLL. WLL was just, wow...just when I think it can't get better. He was probably more playful and sexy in Milwaukee, but this one was amazing, vocally.

Monte and Tommy seemed to be having a lot of fun too. I don't think I've seen Monte purposely fire up the crowd so much before. He was motioning a lot for people to clap and get louder. Before Mad World, Monte kept trying to play Stairway to Heaven and the boss had to kept telling him to cut it out. V cute. :) After the encores, Monte pointed to Adam to get us to cheer louder, then Adam pointed to him. Then...I think Monte pointed to Tommy and Adam to Tommy, then they pointed to Longineu. It was quite the adorable lovefest.

We might be light on video, sadly. As I said on twitter (above), the theater has a big banner in their lobby that says shows are available the next day on their site, which (correction) is www.royaloakmusictheatre.com. But I just went there and I see no vids. I'll call them tomorrow and ask.

I also tweeted the NEIL seemed to be taking video. Ok, this was sorta fun. As mindchnger tweeted, he did come on stage once before Allison and got a big response from the crowd. We (me and aunt_deen) were 2/3 back in the house, up on level standing at a railing. We were about 15 ft in front of the sound engineers. At one point I turned around before Adam's set and there's Neil with the sound guys. None of the fans seemed to notice him. He was chatting with the engineers (at one point, if my lipreading is right, he pointed and said, "What does THAT do?" and laughed.) Anyway, he was very cutely grooving to Love Hangover, which is one of the last songs that plays over the sound system before Adam's set begins. When the set started, I noticed that he was using a video camera on a tripod to record the show. The red light wasn't on all through the show, so I think he got only certian songs. (I think IIHY: yes; WLL: no.) And idk if he did it only at this show. Still, this can only be a good thing, right?

Especially since security on vids and cameras was super tight. I hope we get something out of tonight, becuase it was un fucking believable.

Awww, glad you had an amazing time, bb!

What else... Lots of men in the crowd tonight. The most men I've seen. And they are of hardy stock -- the wait today was BRU TAL. It was approaching 90 degres and the line was mostly in the sun. They came out to give water bottles at one point and lots of us had umbrellas for the sun.

Lots of sightings beforehand. All the band members came out of the bus at different times to meet fans. I ran into Taylor and Cam shopping for clothes nearby.

Highlights of the show for me were SFW, Strut and WLL. Though it's so hard to choose, this was a HOT SHOW. I'm gonna be praying for video before I go to sleep tonight. Adam was super happy and playful. I wish we had been closer to the stage (long story w/much bitching, so I will spare you) but being back a bit w/a great view gave a whole new perspective.

I hope someone gets a good pic of Monte. I couldn't see that clearly, but he had some interesting sort of window-pane patterned gray pants on. From where I was, he looked great.

Weirdly, one of the fun things was this ASL (sign language) translator set up at the side of the stage with a spot. Watching him sign all the songs was alternately hilarious and beautiful. Dude was ON IT! It was almost like he was dancing to the whole set. Watching Adam's version of WLL signed is something I will never forget. ;D

I noticed there were lots of men too. Awesome! And SFW was incredible, wasn't it?
He was really on tonight.

Just got back from the concert. Had a fantastic time. Allison was awesome, and Orianthi was good (although a little long). And Adam. My God, he just exceeds my expectations every time. He sounded sooo good. He is just an incredible performer; he is simply riveting. I could not look away from him--I tried, I wanted to watch the dancers, and the images on the screen, but my eyes refused to be drawn away from Adam. I did manage to catch the lasers which were very cool. The crowd was so into him, the screams were deafening (I still can't hear) and Adam definitely noticed, so many awesome smiles. One was in the middle of Aftermath, I think after he sings love, love--the crowd started cheering and he flashed us this adorable smile. His set went by so quickly, I just wanted it to slow down. We got both Mad World, and an awesome WLL! He and Monte and Tommy were all cute and giggly at the end all pointing at each other, it was so cute.
Adam is so gorgeous,with his shaved, glittery, head, he is like a work of art.

HAI BB I'M SORRY I DIDN'T GET TO MEET YOU TONIGHT. Wasn't it great? Were you up front?

Yeah, I love how there seem to be memes at the concerts now. Like, he gets a big reaction to "thanks for loving me." The crowd sings along to "love, love, love" and cheers. People jump up and down when Adam jumps to IIHY...etc.

I agree, doesn't he look gorgeous? (Gorge and skinny. I think Sutan has to keep takin those pants in, lol.)

Show review: http://www.detnews.com/article/20100619/OPINION03/6190355/Adam-Lambert-glams-it-up-at-Royal-Oak-Music-Theatre

(That was quick!)

Well, that was a very good review, but I don't agree with his opinion on the opening songs--I loved the Voodoo, DTRH, ROF (oh my God!!) opening, and didn't feel any "pacing" problems. Maybe he just isn't as familiar with Adam's bonus tracks as we are and so wasn't feeling them as much.

LOL WOW.

A security guard by us said the venue held 1700 but they packed 2000 in. I believe him. Sardines doesn't even begin to describe us.

o_O That can't be safe! Also, that can lead to the rescue officials emptying the venue and canceling the show, not to mention fining the venue.

Here's a quick join of ilovejoshg09's WLL. I didn't do any effects to make it merge seamlessly, just appended the 2nd part to the 1st losslessly. I might do a proper edit if no better sources appear.

Thanks for embedding it bb :) I'd added it to the OP already but forgot to post it in a comment. Not sure what the common practice is for media posts here on HM :p
