The Dreams Come True Tour

25 sold-out concerts in the biggest available venues from 10 countries...6 weeks of records.

I followed the Queen + Adam Lambert Tour since 19^th of June, starting with Chicago. I watched all the TV appearances from press conferences to Classic Rock Awards, The X Factor or Die Helene Fischer  Show.

NOTHING compares to the feeling you have when you have them right in front of you...when you are there, just a few meters away from them. The sounds, the lights, the energy...and other pleasant things to watch. They’re issues you live being physically there. It’s uncomparable the satisfaction you get. And the level of your adrenaline...

Even if it’s more than a month passed since the Vienna concert (personal review HERE), I still get shivers every time I watch the photos or the videos. I still think that it was all just a dream from which I woke up too early.

Whenever I listen to “Radio Gaga” I remember the euphoria of the moment I made the handshake with Adam and even if some people might think it’s stupid, for me the physical contact through the hands is extremely important. I really feel that you give and receive a lot with that simple touch. So yes, that was and remains the highlight of the concert...at least for me. I will never forget his amazing eyes seen from only a few centimetres.

I won’t forget either memorable things like the eye-contacts, the smiles and that positive energy you could get from all over.

Prague (personal review HERE) was something else. I wanted to be near stage B in order to have a better view of the moments I briefly saw in Vienna. “Who Wants To Live Forever” was the first on the list, then “Killer Queen”, “Under Pressure” and so on. I got a little further than expected (in Vienna I was in front row, stage A), but I achieved my goals.

I said that it was something else because this time I had my mother right next to me and it was a totally different energy.

I choose “Killer Queen” as the highlight of the night because I enjoyed a lot every note, word, gesture and face. “Save Me” remains my favourite soul-to-soul song. Of course, the most spiritual moment was “Who Wants To Live Forever”...those lights take you into another dimension. You can’t understand it until you’re there. “Under Pressure” was one of the many occasions that demonstrate the close connection between Adam Lambert, Roger Taylor and Brian May. They collaborate beautifully, but it’s more than just work. It’s obvious how much they love and respect each other.

After having the opportunity to attend 2 of the concerts of this tour, I definitely can call it “The Dreams Come True Tour”. I couldn’t even imagine that one day I would go to a Queen concert...I grew up with their music, I listen to them on the radios even now, I watch the covers done in the talent shows and I join the concerts where songs from their catalogue are being performed, but from this to listening live to the band that impacted so many generations, there is a big step. And I’m proud, happy and grateful for being able to make it.

Adam is -honestly- the reason I “ran” after the ticket for Vienna in the first day of pre-sale. I have been following him for more than 4 years, but I haven’t seen him live before...and I wanted it badly!  It was a huge dream come true listening live to his peerless voice...and I enjoyed even with my very last cell of mine his presence and his aura. I still think it’s unreal. Everything! Him, his voice, the fact that I was there and most of all, seeing him sharing the stage with one of the most resonant names of the all-times music. I feel honoured and delighted to be his supporter.

For Brian May and Roger Taylor I have huge respect and admiration. The way they perform makes you go back in time. They seem to have the same age as in their golden era. They are true professionals, the best in what they do and still they are so humble.

Like I said to my mother, who on Earth dreamed about getting to a Queen concert during Ceausescu (Romanian dictator leading my country until 1989)? Well, for those Romanians who didn’t get the chance then, now they could have taken part in the most beautiful tribute that someone could bring to the initial band and of course to Freddie Mercury.

So, after "The Dreams Come True Tour" I strenghtened my own beliefs and I defnitely remain a totally optimist person.

Yes, dreams do come true!

You just have to believe...AND act!
