Let us think back a little over a year ago, and who would have thought that Adam Lambert and his Glam Nation would take over the Ryman Auditorium??
Not even Adam himself would have believed it, but that is EXACTLY what happened last night in Nashville, Tennessee. I have given you guys some history behind the Ryman Auditorium, as well as some interviews and of course, the beloved videos!!
Take note in the “Performer’s” section that Adam is already listed, yayayayayay!

Due to the history of this theater, I pulled some wickipedia information to quench your curiosity:

The auditorium first opened as the Union Gospel Tabernacle in 1892. It was built by Thomas Ryman (1843–1904), a riverboat captain and Nashville businessman who owned several saloons. Ryman conceived of the auditorium as a tabernacle for the influential revivalist Samuel Porter Jones.[3] After Ryman’s death, the Tabernacle was renamed Ryman Auditorium in his honor. Famous builder “Mark Ludwig” designed the structure.

It was used for Grand Ole Opry broadcasts from 1943 until 1974, when the Opry built a larger venue just outside Nashville at the Opryland USA theme park. The Ryman then sat mostly vacant and fell into disrepair until 1992 when Emmylou Harris and her band, the Nash Ramblers, performed a series of concerts there (the results of which appeared on her album At the Ryman). The Harris concerts renewed interest in restoring the Ryman, and it was reopened as an intimate performance venue and museum in 1994. Audiences at the Ryman find themselves sitting in pews, the 1994 renovation notwithstanding. The seating is a reminder of the auditorium’s origins as a house of worship, hence giving it the nickname “The Mother Church of Country Music”.

The Ryman Auditorium was included in the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, and was further designated a National Historic Landmark in 2001.[2][4]

Miscellaneous:
~The Ryman Auditorium was the venue for The Johnny Cash Show, which ran on the ABC network from 1969 to 1971.
~The Ryman Auditorium was named Pollstar Magazine’s National Theatre of the Year for both 2003 and 2004, beating out such venues as New York’s Radio City Music Hall and Hollywood’s Gibson Universal Amphitheater.
~Each dressing room behind the stage is dedicated to a legendary performer such as Johnny Cash and Minnie Pearl.
~The visitor tour claims that the Ryman Auditorium has been rated as having the second best acoustics in the world (after the Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s home, the Salt Lake Tabernacle).
~When the Grand Ole Opry House opened in 1974, a circle approximately five feet in diameter was removed from the Ryman stage’s original floor and inlaid into the stage floor in the new Opry House where it remains today behind the lead singer’s microphone.
~The Grand Ole Opry currently returns to the Ryman Auditorium annually for a run from November through February.
~Because of the 2010 flooding of the Cumberland River that has rendered the current Grand Ole Opry House temporarily unusable, the Ryman Auditorium will be the primary venue for the Grand Ole Opry when it is available. [5] The Ryman Auditorium was unaffected by the flooding.

Performer’s:
Many country music greats have performed at the Ryman since its inception including the legendary Hank Williams, Bill Monroe, Jim Reeves, Roy Acuff, Johnny Cash, Tammy Wynette, Garth Brooks, Patsy Cline, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Emmylou Harris, George Jones, Loretta Lynn, Glen Campbell, Reba McEntire, Conway Twitty, Dolly Parton, Marty Robbins, Ernest Tubb, Dottie West, Crystal Gayle, Gretchen Wilson, Willie Nelson, and The Judds.

Besides country, the venue also features alternative, bluegrass, blues, classical, gospel, jazz, pop, folk, and rock, as well as musical theatre and stand-up comedy shows.

Among the countless other artists who have performed on the Ryman stage are Tegan and Sara, Paramore, Cheap Trick, Seal, 70 Volt Parade, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Presley, The Black Crowes, Tallulah Bankhead, Ethel Barrymore, Sarah Bernhardt, Victor Borge, Jackson Browne, Ryan Adams, Damien Rice, Bright Eyes, Fanny Brice, James Brown, The Byrds, Neil Young, Enrico Caruso, Carol Channing, Charlie Chaplin, Kelly Clarkson, Neil Diamond, Ani DiFranco, Bob Dylan, Wilco, Elvis Costello, Oasis, R.E.M., The String Cheese Incident, O.A.R., Hootie & the Blowfish, W. C. Fields, Judy Garland, Betty Grable, Erasure, Helen Hayes, Interpol, Katharine Hepburn, Bob Hope, Anna Pavlova, Norah Jones, Garbage, ZZ Top, Matt Costa, Death Cab for Cutie, Tori Amos, Alanis Morissette, Van Morrison, Robert Plant, The Smashing Pumpkins, Nick Jonas & The Administration, The Strokes, Kings of Leon, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Modest Mouse, Belle & Sebastian, Sigur Rós, The New Pornographers, Regina Spektor, The Shins, Sufjan Stevens, Lou Reed, Wayne Newton, Eddie Vedder, B. B. King, Lyle Lovett, Erasure, Neko Case, The Avett Brothers, Adam Lambert, and Coldplay, who released a limited edition autographed poster from their performance there. On January 30, 2003, Patty Griffin recorded her live album A Kiss in Time at the Ryman Auditorium.

~WHEN ADAM MET ADAM!
Wednesday 07-07-2010 3:40pm CT

Not gonna lie, I am a fan of the glam. Maybe a lot more now that I just kicked it with Adam Lambert for a couple hours at work.

Glambert and I met on stage. The fireworks happened and the energy created was not like any other interview I’ve ever done.
<

We talked of all things Nashville, The Ryman, of course guyliner, his new tattoo he got in Atlanta, and we even busted out into some GaGa karaoke. Eventhough he was a little timid about singing.

Stalk the pics. Watch the video. Relive the excitment if you were there, and live it for the first time if you weren't. Whatever you do, just LIVE in the moment! Click here to see all--> 107.5 The River

The highlight would be none other than his Glam-atized version of Johnny Cash’s Ring Of Fire. I am pretty sure that Adam has done him proud… listening to the crowds reaction.

I can honestly say that Adam has just taken over every inch of my heart, after I read this tweet from him last night.

@adamlambert~Tonights show was dedicated to Mary Lou Moscheo

For those that were not aware of the meaning behind that tweet, here is a message from a friend of mine on facebook:
**Adam Fans… Mary Lou Moscheo passed away last night (July 2, 2010) and everyone is tweeting to Adam to dedicate the show on the 7th that she was looking soooo forward to going too.. RIP Mary Lou.. you will be missed by many..**

Adam Lambert is a class act all around…

XO~SUE~GLAMB#10

Glittery God’s, we bow down and thank you for you have sent us this beautiful and glittery creation that continuously blows our minds away night, after night, after night!! Last night was certainly no exception, as you will see in these fabulous videos from the beautiful, Tennessee Theater!!
I was lucky to get a phone call after the show from our very own site fans, Kymmie and Lyn, who were lucky enough to be at the show last night! We became friends after meeting up at the Fantasy Springs concert and now we can’t go a few days without touching base, so I was thrilled for them to FINALLY get to be going to this show. I knew what they were in for and couldn’t wait for them to finally experience it for themselves!!

They were up close and personal, and said that he was UN-believable!! Covered in head to toe with glitter and sparkles, he was absolutely gorgeous. I have asked them to send me pics if they would like, as well as their personal story too.

I am so happy that they called me to share their experience. As they were waiting outside for the buses, they were talking a mile a minute, and it was so fun to hear them chatting with the people around them. It was like I was there. The next thing I know, I hear them ask Longineu if he’d give a shout out to Sue, from adam-lambert.org!! Wait, WHAT??? Before I even know what is happening, I am on the phone with him and he is telling me how he wished I was there, and how the energy was so amazing!! I had seen on twitter that he had cut his hand, so I told him that I hoped it felt better soon. He was so cute and soft spoken talking about the show. At the end, I was telling him that I would be at the Costa Mesa and Vegas shows, so not to worry, I’d see him again soon. I am sure he wasn’t worried, lol. We said our good-bye’s and that was that, CAN YOU EVEN BELIEVE THAT?? Kymmie and Lyn, YOU ROCK!! You know that already though, right?

I then accompanied them, by phone, on their ride to their hotel and was treated to the entire night’s happenings along the way. Songs, details, and everything in between. Hopefully they will be up for sending us the whole story…
For now though, CHECK OUT THESE VIDEO’S, it’s amazing what a few days off will do…
**MUST SEE**
A) Fever~no kissing, but Tommy gives Adam a little smack on the tush as he walks away!
B) Aftermath~ Absolutely breathtaking. The glitter alone is worth the view, but seeing him smile when he sings, fall into the glitter…ahhhh… I just can’t take the cuteness….

Not too much more to add since you have all seen the videos from that night on Carol’s post, right?? Were they not ridiculously awesome?? He was stellar, gorgeous, and to-die-for… what more is there really??

Well, maybe a little info to go along with the pictures would be good…

As you will be able to see by the angle of my pictures, I was down the stage from Carol and her gang, to her right. The barricades were empty down there as we got in and that put us right in front of Tommy. Seeing as this concert was 21 and over, that meant my daughter Jess could not get in. Being in the front row was not something I wanted to do without her, but I figured that if I could score some great pictures, she would LOVE that. I did my best!
My friend, Jenny, and I were talking to the people around us and we befriended the two people to my right, Marti and Johnny. They were huge Adam fans, which you will see by the look on Johnny’s face when Adam hits the stage!! Priceless!! We had fun talking about who was going to jump onstage first, haha!!
As we were all waiting patiently inside, this lucky guy got to sit down and have a chat with Adam!! He is definitely an Adam fan, and they are just chatting it up… um, hello, can you get a move on, people are waiting for you Adam!!

Ori’s Guitarist:
We had fun watching Orianthi’s guitarist, right in front of us!! After the set, she smacked hands with us and told us that we ROCKED!! Orianthi’s drummer gave his drum stick to our new friend Marti, and Jenny and Johnny both got picks from Ori!! That was awesome as well.

HI Adam, remember me?? Sue, from Oprah?….yeah right, lol!

STOP DISTRACTING ME………









Tongue action:

and again:


A fav of mine:

As I was in the concert, Jess talked her dad into bringing her to the venue to see if she could see the band again after the show. YES, she is her daddy’s little girl, even though she is almost 16!! She is also a very lucky girl, as you can see, because she was able to get her picture taken with Longineu this time! He was too fast for us to catch in Milwaukee, so it was cool for her to meet him again after being on Oprah with him.
Jess and Longineu:

We put Jess to work and had her take a picture of the newfound friends:
Johnny, Marti, Jenny, and ME!

Of course, the highlight was having Tommy come out and talk to Jess again!! As I told him that she “sweet talked” her dad into bringing her, he apologized to her for for not being able to get in to the concert (as if it was HIS fault). As he was telling her how Allison and Taylor couldn’t perform either, he was digging in his pocket to see if he had a guitar pick for her. Unfortunately, he couldn’t find one but just the time he spent talking to her alone was priceless. As they talked, she handed him a cute fan letter that she had written just for him, and he asked, “What’s this?”. She explained to him that it was just a thank you for being so nice to her in Milwaukee. He then asked what her twitter name was and sure enough…he thanked her, in a tweet, a few days later!! He also made sure we got another picture of the two of them! Ahhh, to be so young and beautiful!
Great memories that will last a lifetime…
Tommy and Jess:

As we add another chapter in our Adam Lambert scrapbook, keep in mind to ALWAYS think positive because dreams really do come true!!

First of all, I would like to wish you all a safe and happy Fourth of July, and may your sky be filled with glitter!!

I have to admit that I don’t always sit and watch every second of every video as I am posting them. Not because I am not interested of course, but because I have to do “real life” things as well. I have to say though, that on a day like today, when I just let them play a little longer than usual… it just brings goosebumps to my arms to hear that man’s voice!! Not only when he sings either, I love hearing him laugh and speak too!! This version of Whole Lotta Love was outstanding once again, and Soaked was breathtakingly beautiful…
It is just mesmerizing…. happy day everyone!!!

A huge thank you to @tawneej for this gorgeous photobucket album of pictures from this concert!!

Tomorrow will mark the one week anniversary of my Glam Nation experience. I simply cannot get back into the real swing of things yet either!! This is the second time I am sitting down to write this, as the first time my power outage erased it before I was done adding the pictures, grr.

My first show was the Milwaukee, Wisconsin show last Tuesday night. We had a great crowd show up for dinner at The Rock Bottom Brewery which was literally right around the corner from the venue. Thanks to Ellen G. for using her name for the reservation and for everyone there for hanging with us. It was great to see everyone including Carol, my co-writer here, at dinner too! She hopped on a plane to come out for the two Glam Nation shows out here. This was the show that I was able to bring my daughter Jess to, along with our friend Jenny. In Ellen’s group was our mutual friend Janet, whom Ellen and I met through our Illinois Glamb group, Carol, and Ellen’s sister!!
We had a great gathering of friends for this leg of the journey.

The venue was really very beautiful inside, and our seats were in the second row of the balcony. We had a great view looking down on the stage. Thankfully, you have already seen most of the pictures from our friend Haley, because I didn’t get very many good ones. Once we were sitting, we realized that the indoor temperature was sooo hot. The air was not working so we were sweating before the show even started. Once the show began though, it got way hotter. Allison and Orianthi did a great job, and then we were given the greatest gift of all, Adam. Everything about the show was spectacular, from the costumes, to the dancers, to the band, and especially the vocals from Adam. He was spot on once again, and seeing him “live” is such an emotional experience. The way he takes you on a journey from song to song, is second to none. As soon as the first note of the show began, we were transfixed by everything that was going on on that stage. The way he uses the lights and the lasers, it is a visual celebration. I have to say, I LOVED If I Had You!! Just the little speech he gives, and introducing all the friends that are close to him, and the meaning of the song is just the total package for me. We were up and dancing and singing along for the majority of the show!! Unfortunately, just as quickly as it began, it was over…

After escaping to the outdoors for some cool night air, we were walking past the busses on the street and saw that they had barricades lining up along the alleyway. We decided to stop and watch them come out. As his dancer’s began the walk to the busses, we could see that it was going to be hard to see any of them up close, so we ran acroos the street to where the busses were actually parked. This turned out to be the smartest thing we ever could have done. After a few minutes, Tommy was walking right towards us so I asked him if he would mind taking a picture with Jess, from Oprah?? His eyes went wide and he was so excited to see her again, it was awesome!! He was asking her questions about that whole day, and then he let us get a great picture of the two of them. He also took pictures with us that aren’t quite as cute because we look like old lady stalkers, haha, but it was fun nonetheless.

At that point, he had to get on the bus so we waited patiently to see who would be next. As we stood there, we were approached by OLGA and JILL, who always contribute comments on our site, and whom also attended the Oprah show!!! I am so glad they spotted us because they didn’t meet up with us at the taping, so it was fun to finally meet them. They did a great write up for us on THEIR Oprah experience that we posted, do you guys remember?? We took pictures together as well and it was awesome to meet them. Jill and I were discussing the power of the mother/daughter bond when out came Monte!! Now, we decided to do the same thing, to push the pretty 15 year old at him to get his attention. As we asked him if we could take a picture of him with Jess from Oprah, he said, “JESS, AND SUE!!”. AAAAGH, HE REMEMBERED US TOO!!!! We all were laughing and telling him that he was awesome for remembering us, and he pretended to swing a baseball bat like he had just hit one out of the park. He was very proud of himself for remembering too!! At this point, he told the security guard that he was safe and that he could leave him with us, haha. He was great about taking pictures, and he was teasing Jess about how since she wasn’t crying this time, he could always get her to cry by taking her away to see… nah he wouldn’t do that. Totally cute. We talked about his new twins and I told him to make sure and pay attention because before long they will be Jess’ age, and he looked at her and shook his head like that was all too overwhelming for him to believe. He then spent some time with Olga and Jill, and we then realized by the screaming that Adam was walking to his bus. Unfortunately, we were at the back end of the bus that he got on so we didn’t get up close, but the other guys made up for that in a huge way. Thank you Tommy and Monte for a great night all around, and I hope you all enjoy my few pictures.

P/S~This is a regular work day for me so I will post about Hammond hopefully by tomorrow, darned “real life”…

This is the first concert where I have heard that noone was allowed to even take PICTURES!! The security was harsh, to say the least! I was able to find some videos though, way to go Adam fans!!!
They may not be complete songs, but it was better than nothing.

ENJOY:
