UPDATE: To Becky and others who posted in regards to my error in his setlist. My apologies... I was there, but got very sick before he came on stage and had to leave the venue to get air. I heard FYE, but thought he was singing it.
First off, Orianthi was having a free acoustic performance with a CD signin
g at Best Buy in Hunt Valley before the concert last night. Even though she was 40 minutes late, she gave a very personable and intimate meet & greet. She took her time and spoke to each person she was meeting - that is unusual these days.
At 7 PM, they opened the doors to Rams Head Live to let fans in to find a 'standing-room' only spot. Once you found one, you could not move or you lost that spot. Needless to say, it was not comfortable. However, the venue was small enough to be up close and personal to the stage and performances. 
Allison Iraheta performed first. She was very energetic using the whole stage. She was head-banging her long red hair and then had Orianthi come out to do a solo guitar performance while she sang one of her songs.
A break in between, then Orianthi comes out and ROCKS the stage with her infamous shredding on the guitar. That girl can play and send goose bumps up and down your spine. She also put on a great performance and her last song was "Let's Go Crazy" by Prince and you know the guitar riffs in that song -- HOLY SMOKE
! The place was getting crazy with excitement for who was coming up next.
Adam Lambert takes the stage. It was like Boy George meets Prince, then meets CATS (the Broadway musical). He was SPECTACULAR with every single aspect of his performances. From the costumes, to the back-up dancers performing, to the laser lights, and Adam's bold dance moves -- it was pure energy, fire and excitement. He did not disappoint!
He starts off singing Voodoo and Ring of Fire; then his hit songs Music Again, For Your Entertainment, Whataya Want From Me, Strut, Soaked, Sure Fire Winners, If I Had You, Fever, Sleepwalker, Aftermath and ended the night with an up-tempo version of Mad World. 
If you haven't seen him in concert, by all means try to check him out. With all three of these amazing performers, there is no denying a good time by all. They will be performing at the 9:30 Club tonight in D.C.
Adam is a SURE FIRE WINNER!

Um fairly nice review, however are you sure you were even at the concert? He doesn't sing "For Your Entertainment" or "Loaded Smile".
I've already caught Adam in concert and I agree he is spectacular. I ran into someone at work today he went to one last week and she too thought he was amazing. She said she spent the entire performance mesmerized & couldn't get over how handsome he was. She was not familiar with him & went only to accompany a friend.
I was at last night's concert, and he was amazing, as usual. I wish Orianthi's set was a little shorter. Becky is right. He did not sing Loaded Smile, and For Your Entertainment track was played right before he came out on stage. He didn't actually sing it.
HE WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! I COULD GO TO HIS CONCERT OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!! I wish I could find the right word for him because he's in such a league of his own. He has he "IT" factor, he puts on what heck of a show, can sing his butt off, can move like nobody's business, and is such a TERRIFIC PERFORMER!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE HIM!!!!
I was there last night and Adam was nothing less than spectacular. We were upfront and Adam is such an insainly talented singer, performer and it doesn't hurt that he is HOT!!! I would follow him around the country(then the world)if I could. I do agree that Orianti's set could have been shorter. It is really hard listening to her screaming guitar solos. She is amazing on that guitar though.
Oh yes Adam doesn't sing FYE, the audience does right before he entrances us with his Voodoo.
That MAN is HOT... gay, straight or whatever! He is handsome, sexy and sizzlin' HOT!
thanks for the nice review of adams concert. hope you are feeling better.i cant wait to hear him sing soaked, my favorite on the cd.
I was not a huge fan of Adam, but after reading your review I want to see him in concert. If he is half as entertaining as Boy George I am there.
Thanks for the review!!!
I was there last night. Adam was AMAZING! If I could travel around the country to see him perform I would. That was my first Adam Lambert concert experience, and now I just want more.
Can't wait to see adam at cape cod melody tent in august, it will be interesting where it is the only round revolving stage on tour. 2,500 pp sold out, have to fly from fla whereas he is not coming to southwest fla. WHY?? We love you adam here! Seen most of the clips on his previous tour dates, just hope he can hold out to then, can't wait, hope there are no hurricanes that month so I can get out!
Saw the Allison/Oriathi/Lambert show at Ledyard,Ct last week only because my wife insisted on going. I'm now a big fan of all three...absolutely phenominal show. Preferred Allison's harder, edgey set to Orianthi's rock/pop, but damn can Orianthi make that guitar scream (she hammers both hands on the neck a'la Eddie Van Halen). And although I didn't go into the concert a big Lambert fan, I now agree with my music-teacher wife, he has the greatest vocal abilities of anyone touring. He finished the Ledyard concert with an encore of Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" (amazing, slow, bluesy interpretation). I'll pay to see any one of these three again.
I am so damn proud of Allison, this girl can really sing. OMG, I was there at Rams Head live last night, and let me tell you, I was absolutely impressed with this little girl. She sounded so good in person, that I am even thinking that she sounds better in person than she does in her album, but anyways, she is a fantastic singer and she is so energetic. I loved Orianthi as well, but Adam was insainly mad, wow... I'll give anything to go back and see all three again, but Iam broke.
The NY critics all loved him, and that is a tough crowd who are used to being entertained by well established artists - so I knew his show would be spectacular. It was. I knew he is sexy, but, wow, is he ever, and gay or not, that guy is sizzling hot. There is no one I can think of that can match his singing. Totally blew my mind and I was a fan to start with. Adam Lambert is absolutely the most magnificent pop singer I ever heard.
Friend had tickets, took us, and we are trying to get tickets for his show in CA next month. Our vacation trip will co-incide with his concert in OC near Disneyland. We have been hearing about this boy's singing for a long time. He is as great as they all say he is. He put on a good show, hard to take your eyes off him. My wife says he is an aphrodiasic and I owe him thanks.
I WISH I COULD GO!!! im the only 1 in my family thats a glambert, and my mom doesnt care enough to take me!! im so so sad im in love with adam lambert and i wanna GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM SO SAD!!!! I LOVE YOU ADAM!!
I saw him last week,2 concerts in NY,one in Foxwoods!!I m sorry you guys didn t get WLL...That was the CLIMAX !!!!
I m back in Peru and still completely in trance!!!!!
Lifechanging experience to see him on stage,and I was frontrow!!!
I wonder why Adam still couldn't perform FYE. Is there a ban for him to do so? How long is he sentenced for this injustice? Chris Brown was at BET last night. Everyone seemed to have forgiven him for what he had done, 'cause he shed some tears on stage. Adam's act was just purely for entertainment and Chris was cruelty to women. I WANT JUSTICE FOR ADAM!!! I want to see ADAM entertain us with no boundaries...Let him perform FYE!!! He's a multi-talented, extremely creative artist, the Best Entertainer...He was born with unique vocals, no one currently can't come close to his range. One day, he'll be a great actor, too! So be it... and it shall be so...!!!
This Glam Nation Tour concert is AMAZING, and I see a fair amount of concerts. Saw him at Foxwoods, the vocals were truly incredible. Thank the heavens I have tix to Cohasset, and I'm so bummed I didn't try harder to get tix to other concerts in my area like Rhode Island and Hampton Beach. Once you see him live one time, you're doomed. If any of you reading have any chance to see the GNT, any chance at all, DO IT, MAKE IT HAPPEN, you won't regret it.
I am going to Adam's concert in 2 days. I would love hear "Loaded Smile" and my fave "Broken Open." I think those two songs and "Sleepwalker" are "Sure Fire Winners." I followed him since AI and I can't believe I will see him in person for the first time. I hear (from the blogs) that he is even better in person. I will go with an open mind and a whole lot of excitement that Adam is performming for my entertainment.
Allison is the true star! Love that girl! She's wayyyy better than Adam!!!
Allison is the real deal, she is so HOT, her vocals are trully amazing, man, this girl has re right pipes, love her. I like Orianthi too, but she is not like Allison, and Adam, man, I don't care if hes gay or not, but wow, what a voice hes got, and his fans really love him. This Glam Nation concert was the bomb.
