***This was fun to read... Nick talks about what happens immediately after the show... and his new "job" as "toweling assistant".. (A job that I dare say more than **a few** of us would happily volunteer for!!!
***Not sure who to credit this picture with, but it's wonderful!!
From Queen Official News: Notes From The Road Part 9 (From June 23, right after the Winnipeg Show )..
"Exciting news! I have a new job, 'Toweling Robe Assistant', when the band does what is known as a 'runner'. This basically means that when the band leave the venue straight from the stage, as you guys are still applauding, I have to greet a band member right behind the stage, hand them a towel, drape them with their unfolded toweling robe and show them to their waiting vehicle. It does not happen at every gig, but I have to say it was actually rather exciting when I did it after the Winnipeg show."
"I was stood ready to go after ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, before the encore, and the energy at that moment is incredible, I have chills just thinking about it. The crowd was roaring and stomping away out front for more, the band are buzzing around behind the stage in a huddle, clearly full of adrenaline, security was now present and a clear avenue has been cleared towards the cars that had their motors running, as the noise in the arena soared even higher Roger shouted "OK, let's go!”, it took all of my discipline not to run out there with them! It was thrilling to be part of. ‘We Will Rock You’ and ‘Champions’ flew by and the next thing I know I am being told the same old jokes by Neil as we skip down the ramp towards the cars...does that man ever stop? I stand back as the rest of the guys quickly filter down, a beaming Brian whizzes by acknowledging people on the way, I give him the thumbs up, he slaps me on the arm and says "Thanks Nick!" and that's it, they are gone. That memory is a keeper, a little thing in the whole scale of this trip, but I am taking that one with me."

Nick's behind the scenes comments / blog is interesting
That's great that they have a private jet at their disposal ... they deserve that extra rest and comfort
Wow! Adam is definitely traveling in STYLE! Brian and Roger's private jet is amazing. Hopefully Adam will reach the point in his career that he TOO can afford a private jet to travel during his tours. Hope springs eternal!!!

I meant Stone Cold Crazy. Sorry
Private jet for the band is the only way to go that makes sense.
The top pic is great. I love seeing Adam laugh and I love the gold everything and the red shirt. Yes, love! Is the cherry red accents the same as Brian's guitar?
Great pic of Brian

The "Stone Cold Crazy" Winnipeg vid from Adam Lambert Hungary is actually an Official Video via Queen.. Queen put it up on their You Tube Channel two days ago (we have it here on an earlier thread) but they have since then made it "private".. It's one of their professionally filmed vids and I suspect we'll be seeing it on a DVD after the tour is over! Hoping so anyway!!!! So while not technically "new" its the only way we can currently view it... Perhaps a hint of what we'll be able to see on the DVD (fingers crossed!!)..
Thanks... I and one other helper "Admin Fan" are continuing to assist the blog Administrator keep 24/7 up to date.. Very exciting during these wonderful, wild and crazy Queen + Adam Lambert Tour times!!!
Great pictures and review here:

@6:58 AM WOW! "Great" is a massive understatement.
Thank you So much for the link.
Wow private jet fancy
So happy for Adam. I'm sure his little heart can't believe the fun he is having.
Adam has the BEST LEGS in the business! :=D
@glitzylady
Thank you so much for helping out posting reviews,videos and pictures!
Can't get enough! I get on my laptop when I get home from work and am on most of the night, then when I get to work, before I start,I get on and see what transpired during the early morning hours. It is so great to have all of this to view everyday!
Thanks, Glitzy, from the bottom of my heart.
You're a dear Glambert for all of us here.
Appreciate much really.
