Adele Live 2022

[cheapthrills]

As someone who bought tickets to see her original run, how does the most recent interview make you feel?

Well, it certainly confirms my decision to refund the tickets! I think I worked through all my emotions when I refunded my tickets, so I don't even feel angry about the interview. If anything, I just feel relief. I suppose it's nice to get a real reason why the residency was postponed because we all knew it wasn't COVID once it was clear it wasn't being rescheduled immediately. It also confirms the rumors I dismissed in January when she originally cancelled.

Thankfully, I'm not out any money - I hadn't bought plane tickets yet because I was booked for her final show. I used my refund to buy plane tickets though - I'll be going to Hawaii for the new year

I can’t believe she’s singing more of 21 than 30

Really surprised she’s only doing the one song from 19 and not even the big one.

[theMathematician]

It looks more like a greatest hits tour type of setlist rather than one to promote one specific album. I could be wrong, but I feel like '30' won't be an album she'll return to often in the future, apart from maybe 'Easy On Me'.

[luckyONE]

IMO she sings all the songs from 30 I would love to hear live

Spoiler!

Well, To Be Loved is only a piano intro, would love to hear her sing it, too. Maybe Woman Like Me and My Little Love would have been a nice addition. The rest is not that good. Love to see Hold On and especially Love Is A Game as a closer.

[Artoo]

I know the Vegas show isn’t the ‘30 Tour’ but I’m just surprised at how 21 heavy it is that’s all, especially when she could have swapped a couple of them for a couple of songs from 19 and balanced the setlist more. She’s singing all but three of her singles from her career - it just feels odd not to at least include:

Spoiler!

Chasing Pavements (which charted in the US)
Make You Feel My Love

Unless she plans to mix the setlist up a little here and there over the course of the run.

[arab]

Well, excluding intros, there are 20 songs and 5 of them come from "30". I think that's fair enough. Pity Can I Get It is not a part of it (yet). Anyway, the setlist looks (almost) perfect to me.

[spiritboy]

She looks and sounds stunning. Haters lost again.

[KEY9481]

oh wow!

[InFamous]

I mean its pretty obvious she was going to sing her hits at Vegas. Thats what people want. I would love her to do To be loved just once though but she has said she wont so It prob wont happen.

That couch performance was everything.

Omg yes. So much better than the album version. They over produced her there.

[InFamous]

Have to say its priceless how she made such a song and dance about her show not being "ready" when she is just literally standing or sitting in the one spot with a mic . Unless originally they wanted her to do a totally different show and this is her just doing the usual Adele show.

[JeremySpears]

oh wow!

This is preeeetty

[cheapthrills]

I have been trying to avoid this thread now that the residency has started.

My hope is that one day we will get to see it - most artists have rehearsals recorded so they can personally watch it back for evaluation. With Adele cancelling the day before the show must have been in amazing shape, even if a piece of something was miss, so who knows - one day it might leak.

I struggle to see how the setlist could have been different on the cancelled show too, but it would be interesting to see any differences.

Considering she’s just stood singing, I always think Adele is the kind of artist that should swap one song every concert - she could literally sing her entire catalogue in Vegas.

I wonder if the show will be released as a live album?

She should def mix up the set list here and there. Personally I can never really get into live albums, I need the visual too. So I'd prefer that. Streaming on Netflix would be ideal.

I love a live album but it can be hit and miss. I like a live album when the artist has a new (or enhanced) arrangement, adds different elements and adds emotion to a song you don’t hear in the studio version. Things like little quirks they do live but get rid of in the studio etc.

Yeah as a vocalist myself, I love all that too, I actually prefer raw and live performances but I still prefer to see it as opposed to just hearing it.

[InFamous]

Amazing performance, she killed that climax belt.
At the end the musicians were like OK Adele lets move on lol
