If the number of earsplitting screams and shrieks erupting from every mention of his name or glimpse of his face on the JumboTron was any indication, glam rocker Adam Lambert was the superstar of the “American Idols Live!” 2009 summer tour’s concert Tuesday night at the Tacoma Dome. (…)

The much-anticipated Lambert set began with the aptly titled “Whole Lotta Love” and moved on to Muse’s “Starlight,” then the haunting Tears for Fears ballad “Mad World” and a David Bowie medley that drove the Adam-worshippers to even louder screams of passion.
