    Best pics I”ve seen – the one with Adam and Tommy kissing is sooo hot! This photographer is awesome – what an artist!

  5. Cate says

    It’s difficult to capture in photographs the vibrant and charismatic qualities that Adam and his band and dancers possess, but I think you did. Simply stunning!

  6. KC says

    These are fantastic pictures. I see them being posted all over the Internet so I had to hunt down the source. Love them.

  7. Saraphina says

    OMG, probably the best pictures of the Glam Nation Tour yet. You rival Lee Cherry’s artistic eye. AWESOME

  8. tattoo50 says

    Some of the most spectacular shots I’ve seen yet. And I’ve seen and embarassingly large number or tour photos and videos from GlamNation. Kudos to the photographer for catching such lovely images, especially for having gotten some group shots which are not the same old same old, and the ROF and VooDoo shots of solo Adam were amazing. Thank you for sharing!

  9. Cindy says

    Those are the most amazing pictures! I also love how you captured the diversity of the audience and wish I could see more of your photographs. Well done!

  10. Linda C says

  16. michelle says

    these are AWESOME, great job, of course Adam does not take a a bad picture, neither does anyone on the tour.

  17. Susan424 says

    You captured so much expression in everyone. I love looking at everyone’s hands. They say so much.
    Exciting and Gorgeous.
    Just like Adam Lambert and his Glamily.

  19. Susan says

    WOW!! These pics are amazing, you captured it all, didnt you? It feels like we are there, oh how I wish I was! I love Adam and his Glamnation is everything and more than could ever have been expected! Adam never takes a bad pic, I swear he is magical!!

  20. NDGlambert says

    OMG…thats my license plate! I took my daughter for her 12th birthday present…we both had a fantastic time! Adam and the Glamband killed it in Peoria! Daughter says thanks for the autographs and best birthday present ever!

  21. Virginia says

    I am staring mouth open at your work. I hope you display this work in an Art Gallery, (That is one of my favorite things to do) you are amazing.

    The ring of Fire shot shows the emotion of the song. Brilliant, and the shots of Adam and Tommy are breathtaking.

  27. Mandy says

  29. Patti says

    WOW!!! what an eye you have. These pictures are so vivid, clear, and they capture the moment and the feel of the performance. I hope you do more because they are spectacular!

    Magnificent! The best GNT pictures ever! You’re a true artist to capture these moments, expressions and colors!

  32. cybergranny says

    You’ve outdone yourself again, Gloria! My heart stopped when I saw that 1st picture. I’m going to have to print your whole blog!!!! Thanx a billion! (Millions don’t cut it when it comes to Adam!)

  33. Debbie says

    Stunning !! You’ve capture the essence that is Adam Lambert, his band, dancers, and the fans. So wonderful that you included fan pics. Please post more if you have them.

    Great work and thank you !!!

  34. SusanP says

    I have followed the GlamNation Tour on line since it started, and have made it to 10 of the shows, and these are by far the most amazing pictures I’ve seen in the entire 3 months. Just incredible, really. Thank you for sharing them with us.

  35. PK says

    Beautiful pictures! I was at this concert and these pictures are a gorgeous reminder of one of the best shows I have ever been to. I especially love the Adam & Tommy picture!!! 🙂

    Keep up the great work!

  37. Debbie says

    Just wanted to add:

    Thank you so much for posting the picture of Adam and Tommy kissing. Adam is a class act and so are you for capturing that awesome and always epic moment. Like most fans, I love watching Adam do anything remotely sexual.

    Again, if you have more, please post.

  39. bluedog says

    You’ve caught the flavour of an Adam concert perfectly… you have an artist’s instinct for ‘the moment’! So good! Thank you!

  41. Kris says

    Wow! These concert photos are amazing! I just looked through your whole blog and I love your work. Really great quality! I am glad it was you that covered this concert!

  42. Lissy says

    Wow your shots are so vivid! I don’t think I can even pick a fave, they’re all srsly gorg. Altho I am sad that Adam’s management hasn’t bucked the norm of allowing photos for only the first few songs, would have loved to have seen your shots of Adam in his different outfits later in the show. The songs where he wears that long gauzy coat that billows when he walks, or the hilariously awesome ringmaster jacket with a pimp cane, or especially the sleeveless vest! *sigh* I bet your shots of those would have been epic!

  45. Mari says

    Thanks for the amazing pics!! Do you have pics of Allison Iraheta as well? She was the opening act.

  46. Gina says

    Your photos are beautiful, they have a special quality.

    Thanks for sharing them! You are very talented.

  48. randomom says

    Thank you for so generously sharing your beautiful photos, you’ve definitely captured some of the magic of Adam and his amazing show!

  49. KarenB says

    Great work! It’s lovely to see some professional photos of this sumptuous visual feast called The Glam Nation Tour. Thank you for sharing it with those of us who cannot be there and for including pics of the audience. They are the essential ingredient without which the magic would not be possible. Adam Lambert ROCKS!!!

  50. SUMMER says

    WOW.AMAZING PICS..Thanks so much for sharing these. They are Stunning!! You are very talented and you captured so much emotion in these. What camera are you using, if you don’t mind me asking? I was there and it was my last show of 4. To my surprise they let us up to the front stage to fill the empty orchastra area..that was AWESOME!! I knew we would get an ELECTRIFYED ADAM when he heard the LOVE from the fans before the show..we were going NUTS!! Adam came out ON FIRE,PLAYFUL, FIESTY,SEXXXXXXXY, FUNNNNN!!! I was so close to his beautiful Eyes and Face, his glitter was flying off on me!! YEAHH!! I wanted to enjoy my last show without the camera, so I put it away after Soaked. Really, thank you for these and if you have more, please post. I am having “ADAM WITHDRAWS” really bad today, knowing I will not see him live until next year. Pics and Vids are all we have to stay close to this extraordinary human (is he?) being.xo

  53. Bren says

    These are absolutely perfection, James.
    Thank you so much for including the fans in your perspective! So many photographers forget us and all of their images are of the performance, which is fantastic! BUT, how totally cool to see the fan reaction!

    These need to be made available for retail, they are that good!
    I have a few things on the burner, so if you are interested, contact me. I’m happy to give you promo on my new website for Adam.
    Wings on ya, these are awesome!
    Ciao
    Bren

  54. Random Guy says

    I don’t know what to add other than what has already been written. CanAdam get any better? The answer, obviously is YES! So talented, so beautiful, so hot. mmmmmmm. The guy’s (Tommy, Monte and ALL the rest) are amazing and beautiful and talented. Adam’s choices are unquestionable!

  55. Mary S says

    Your Glamnation Pics are absolutely the best I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen ALL OF THEM!! Brilliant color, amazing clarity, perfect shots. You captured the essence of the tour. You deserve an award, James!!

  57. Theresa says

    That was the best concert I have ever been too. These pictures are fantastic. thank you so much for taking them and letting us see them.

  58. Mary Jo says

    Unbelievably good pictures. They really capture the spirit of the night! Thank you so much for sharing.

  61. Bruce Kingsley says

    These are really fantastic candid shots. You can see the absolute joy on the fans faces. A lot of photographers take just the subject but not those viewing the subject. Kudos for taking pictures of the audience. The absolute joy on the subjects faces are a brilliant shot. Lambert’s costumes as well as his dancers and band are a feast for the eyes. But you managed to translate it so that those who did not attend can at least get a glimpse.

    The kiss…….the famous kiss. This kiss when it first happened (The AMA’s) actually made headlines around the globe. In the US for shock and around the world for shock that the US was so shocked lol!.

  64. Carol Hill says

    Nancy and I were in the last row at the Peoria performance. The concert was even more than we expected. Adam sounds better live than on CD. Adam Lambert is a singer and performer who will blossom and grow into the most revered, loved and admired artist we know. Love, Carol

    P.S, Super photographer. Thank you for beautiful memories.
