NOTE: I had seen this fan-made video on Twitter, watched it but noticed it was marked "Unlisted...." so didn't share it here... BUT, I just saw that it was sent to Dr. Brian May on Twitter, he noticed and very graciously re-tweeted it, so the cat's out of the bag so to speak.. So here it is!!

The chemistry between Adam and Brian is so unique. They have such fun working together.
I was listening to some of the songs on Trespassing, even though I loved the songs and Adam singing, I missed Brian's guitar. It seemed that he or someone else who can really make a guitar sing like he does, was needed. JMO

Awesome video. Lots of wonderful memories. A couple of clips I had not seen before. I had a smile on my face thru whole video!

OMG!!! I LOVE that!! The admiration and respect between those two men is so evident.......i just love how Brian and Rodger have taken Adam under their wings.......

A friend of mine is the author of Fireflies and a long time Glambert. Not certain if any acknowledgement wanted, but will check.

That's just weird. Glad Brian liked it though.

Loved this; much love and respect in those very beautiful moments.
Brian must have loved it for him to have tweeted it out. The bond between Queen and Adam is so strong, such tremendous love and respect!

Now we need one between Roger and Adam; so he does not feel left out; they had their very special moments too!

I hope Adam has seen this, or will see it soon!

Anon. 4.57......why do you think its weird? Adam and Brian are band members.....i think its great and shows the friendship between the two.
You can tell by the look on his face and the twinkle in his eyes that he's having a GREAT time performing with Adam.......

The two of them fit together like hand in glove. The love and admiration is palpable. What a match. And when Adam and Roger sing Under Pressure together, you can feel the same connection. It's a beautiful thing.

I watched this without the background music ... instead played one of QUEEN + ADAM songs ... liked it much better ... Love the comraderie?(sp.) between these Three men ... ADAM & Brian perform on a closer level but let's not forget Roger's part ... without him there would def. be a missing link. They all seem to have such a good time together ... hope they go on awhile longer .. really enjoy all these videos from my fellow Glamberts!! Thanx!! Keep 'em comin' .. Love 'n Light

When Adam finishes his next album, I know I am going to miss the guitar interaction . I love the way Adam and Brian can make a song really come to life. I know Adam gets good drummers, but Adam without the fantastic guitar interacting with him, I will definitely miss. I am aware that he will do a great job, with his wonderful voice, but I have been so used to him singing with Queen. He is going to miss that too. Tommy is in a band now I think, which I am happy for him, he has to work while Adam is off doing something else. But he has not got the ability of Brian, which would be hard to come by. Tommy is a good back up player.
It's amazing that all members of Queen sing the back up for Adam, which is also another bonus. Although many musicians of other bands do sing . I wonder if Adam will upgrade his band for the new album. He is a bigger celebrity now, and can't get by with a mediocre band.

Beautiful moments to watch between Adam and Bri. I loved it and it brought back so many memories. Thank you for posting and to all the Glambert videographers!

If Adam has backing vocals for his next tour, I hope they'll be male as he had when he previously performed in London. Can't remember the name of the event but it was well before the X Factor performance. I think male vocal backing vocals suit Adam's voice much more than female backing vocals.

@Vicki
I agree, I also had a smile on my face the whole time while watching!

The members of Queen aren't singing back up vocals just because of Adam. They have always sang those parts.

You're thinking of The Rays of Sunshine Charity performance Adam did at the Royal Albert Hall June 7, 2012..

I am fully aware they did not do the back up singing just for Adam. Everyone knows Queen has always done it. I was thinking of Adam's band, for one Tommy doesn't sing, not sure if any of the drummers Adam has had sing either. Queen has kept to the way all their music was, the only difference was that they had Adam now, all queen musicians have always sang back up. The back up singers were not JUST for Adam.
Adam will pretty much have to carry the whole show by himself, which he is able to do, but I prefer the interaction of the way Queen does it.

Please pay attention what you write about Queen, check the facts and don't insult the decades of craftmanship of the Queen guys by talking about back up singers and mediocre (at best) guitar players. And at least so far there are no Queen + Adam songs, they are all Queen songs (Freddie's incl )

To avoid any hassle or controversy bettet to keep QAL and Adam's (former or future) band issues separate.

Dee R Gee said...

10:06, Good point about future back-up singers for Adam. IMHO, female back-ups for Adam come off as a little shrill. Adam's has a high-end tenor voice already. A high male voice. Male back-ups could help mellow the sound of the vocals a little. When singing completely by himself, Adam's voiced is perfect and stunning and unbeatable. But any back-up singers need to blend in very smoothly and enrich the vocal sound. It will be interesting to see what he does for a band in the future. I predict there will be some major changes.

@Dee R Gee

I certainly hope there are major changes; I think some of Adam's friends are waiting for him; for example, Johnny Rice tweeted @Adam Lambert, @Terrance, can't wait to get back on the road again with @Adam Lambert".
He might be a bit presumptions!
No pressure Adam!

I hope that Adam will pick professionals over friendships; if it happens that they are one and the same, so be it! But, I hope friends realize that they can't ride Adam's coat tails forever!

A real friend would not be offended if he did not go with them this time around; and not try to pull the guilt trip on him; just saying.

I just hope he does what's best for him and his career!!!

There was no mention of Queen musicians or back up singing as being mediocre. They have performed this way since Freddie was the lead man, and they are excellent. They didn't get all the honors they have received by being mediocre.
I was referring to Adam's band as being mediocre. I know he can carry a show by himself, but I do like the interaction of the backup singers, as was said nothing overpowering his voice. I really love the guitar being used as a part of a song solo, like Brian. But I don't know if Adam will look for anyone beyond Tommy. Adam is in a position now, where he can pay more for some quality musicians.

I totally agree with you. Adam is so kind hearted towards his close friends, I don't know what he will do with his band. I love Terrance, but does Adam need dancers any more. Terrance has had no trouble finding work this past year. I have wondered if Adam talks about his future album with Brian and Roger, and if they have given him any advice. They have been in the business so long, I would think any input they might have would be invaluable to Adam. In the end he will be like Frank Sinatra and "Do it My way". Since he is such a hot commodity now, he should have no trouble having auditions for a new band, or at least some additional musicians.
Not being a musician himself it might be hard for him without some guidance in this department.
Someone who has been in the business for a long time with great success. Adam will have a really hard time doing this, since he has always gone with his friends, OK in the beginning, but the game is different now.

I hope he starts with Rufus as is drummer; if he is available!

Anonymous said...

Sorry, but Adam needs a new all male band! After seeing him with Queen this seems like a must. I agree with Rufus as drummer!
Need excellent male back up singers, and excellent everything!

With Adam's extraordinary talents, he deserves nothing less than the best team accompanying him on the leg of this exciting journey!!!

Molly R. said...

I really like the video - shows the friendship, respect and trust they have for each other. Unfortunately I don`t like the music. Why not using Queen music?

If you want to see what an excellent, cohesive band can do for a solo artist watch some live videos of Justin Timberlake or Bruno Mars last tour. Hopefully Adam has a bigger budget for his next solo tour to hire good musicians.

Anne Marie said...

You are so right. But can Adam be convinced that he doesn't have the best team of musicians. His band started out, when he made his first album, right after AI, and he was rushed into getting it recorded. He didn't have much money, and not much if any experience in putting a band together. But now he has risen way above and beyond with his talent, and his band has not.
Rufus would be great, he is very talented, has been to drum college
(I didn't know there was such a thing), and also has a master of the drums as a father.
He doesn't need many musicians,
a bass player, a piano player and a guitarist, who doesn't just strum, but can make that guitar sing. I don't think Adam's looks are the only thing that has matured in the last 6 years, but his voice has matured too. He definitely deserves the best possible band that he can get, possibly even someone from Europe or UK.
