Was up early y/day and to bed really late after going to see Queen live in concert... got around 6 hours sleep then worked all day, dog tired, heading
to sleep. Sorry if you are waiting on me for something but will get back into the hobby tomorrow night. Yawn, Night all.

I want to see Queen so bad. I saw Queen back in 77! What a concert!! I was
only 15 years old and my parents didn't want me to go but I did anyway. Had
to run from Madison Square Garden to Grand Central Station to catch the last train out of NYC! Just got there in time!

Now I want to see Adam Lambert with Queen, from what I saw on TV and vids on Youtube he is amazing!!

I've seen a lot of bands from the late mid to late 70's and early 80's, only missed 2 that I wanted to see Springsteen, and ELO. Had tickets to
Springsteen in 78 on Thanksgiving but my father refused to let me go! Wanted
to go see ELO but never made it then Jeff Lynne decided to fold up shop until recently! I will get to see ELO next time they come around the NY area...

Was never able to see them in the day either. Having lived in rural Oklahoma during this time...was unable to see many concerts with lack of
transportation to venues which would be close to 70-100 miles away.

On the other hand...Lynne does have some concerts on You Tube. It's not the same thing as in the past...but is the next best thing.

Personally...would have loved to have seen Led Zeppelin & Pink Floyd back in the day. Was going to school in southern Texas & couldn't find a ride till after the concert to see Roger Waters in Austin. Still kicking myself I
didn't try harder.

Queen was good, Adam Lambert did not try to be Freddy Mercury but did do a great job at covering the songs the band created. Bryan May was his usual
good self on guitar and there was a lot of visual effects used in the show. They started late but ran for two and a half hours. Some grumbled in the
local media the next day about the sound quality but I thought it was fine :)

It was a good concert and it was cool to see some of the original band and
sing along to all the songs :)

Have heard several on here comment that he's filling in pretty good. Glad to hear both of you had a great time.

to see him one day.. Saw Floyd's The Wall tour, greatest concert.. Looking
back I would have loved to see Zep, but I wasn't a Zep head at the time..

Don't you hate those damned scalpers doing that?

Just like you...I wasn't either until after 1980...but a friend of mine was.
At that time...I was into disco & started losing my hair. ;)

The scalpers suck! LOL As for Disco, yea I can honestly say today I was a
Disco head from around 76 till 79.. Even did Roller Disco Dancing. God how I hate admitting that! LOL A lot of fun, when my son was like 6 we got him a
pair of roller blades, and I picked up a set for myself, my wife pissed at me said why are you wasting the money on Roller Blades you will never be able
to. I proved both of them wrong as I put them on and after about 20 minutes getting used to straight wheels instead of 4 on the ground I was on 1 foot backwards etc.. They couldn't understand how I "picked up on it" so quickly! LOL I finally admitted to them when I was a Teenager I would go Roller Disco Dancing at a club that was near my home.. Jeez..

Funny thing was I never tried roller skating until I was in college. Being
out in BFE Oklahoma...never knew anyone who was into it.

It's amazing you didn't break your neck. Tried skating once in college at a social outing. Decided at that time in the early 80's that any other form of transportation with either 4 wheels or hoofs was okay with me...but not
roller skating...especially being able to see how far my legs would separate
& how "graceful" I could be as I discovered gravity was never my friend.

I will be honest in the area I grew up in I would never have expected to be
as many people who were into it.. NYC I figured it was really popular but the burbs? Shockingly so..

I know, it was only like 14 or so years from when I had last done it so it wasn't too bad, just took some getting used to.. The funny thing was when I brought the skates home my kids and wife bought me knee pads, elbow pads, a helmet, and what I used to call a girdle, it was basically a rib pads. First time I got up on those things all of it went on. When I was "an old pro" the only things that stayed on were the knee pads and helmet.

Went to a small Southern Baptist college in Oklahoma. Being that many of the others around me there were just what you mentioned...that's where I did my
1st fall.

Ex wife used to wear 1 of those to take her stomach away. ;)

Sounds like what I wear to work on my scooter. Have to wear the knee pads to change the oil because that concrete sidewalk is hard on my knees because the apartment complex won't let me work on it on the property. With Oregon a
helmet state...the scooter goes 30 MPH...but I wear a helmet with flames to fool everyone that I'm going faster. ;)
