Adele Live 2022

[InFamous]

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

[InFamous]

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.

[Artoo]

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.

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?

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.

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

[JeremySpears]

That couch performance was everything.

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

[Marchum]

Well, it certainly confirms my decision to refund the tickets!

[Marchum]

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.

[spiritboy]

She looks and sounds stunning. Haters lost again.

[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.

[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.

[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.

[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'.

[Artoo]

Vegas begun.

Setlist:

Spoiler!

1. To Be Loved (piano intro)
2. Hello
3. Easy on Me
4. Turning Tables
5. Take It All
6. I Drink Wine
7. Water Under the Bridge
8. Send My Love (To Your New Lover)
9. Oh My God
10. One and Only
11. Don't You Remember
12. Rumour Has It
13. Skyfall
14. Hometown Glory
15. Love in the Dark
16. Cry Your Heart Out (intro)
17. Set Fire to the Rain
18. When We Were Young
19. Hold On
20. Someone Like You
21. Rolling in the Deep
22. Love Is a Game

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.

[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

[LittleLinda]

So what I’m getting from her explanation is that the original show concept was too overproduced for her liking and she wanted a more intimate setting.
How on earth is THAT a reason for cancelling at the last minute?!
Adele, honey, if you wanted to sit on the edge of the stage and unplug your mic you could’ve done that. Easily.
I mean, yeah, you would’ve wasted the time and effort of everyone who worked on the show, but now you did just that AND lied to and disappointed your fans, most of which had to make expensive travel arrangements to be in Vegas at that time.

And she honestly feels “brave” for doing that?

Lol at the postponed shows most likely being nothing more than a mic and a light, which was exactly what people suggested she should have done on the original dates instead of postponing. It certainly doesn’t take months to set that up.

I used to love her personality, but not anymore, I guess.

[Ewokguy15]

The fact that she clearly lied “which was evident from day 1” is just really rude and gross… “she’s brave” for canceling? Please, brave would have been performing even if you didn’t 100% believe in it cause your fans have spent thousands of dollars and travelled from around the world to see you the next day.

She used to come across really well but the last year something has really changed.

So she basically lied and the whole COVID-19 excuse was bullsh*t. That's so disrespectful towards her fans!
The song was totally ready to go, but her ego decided to cancel last minute. She could've at least done the first couple of legs and changed the show throughout the run, if she wasn't happy with its concept. How are you going through months of conceptualising and rehearsing, only for you to change your mind and cancel at the very last moment.

I don't get why she keeps talking about this. Because with every interview she makes herself look worse and more unlikeable.

Exactly! She said it was a brave thing to do, but i completely disagree. It was very unprofessional. I am really concerned she's ruining her legacy but i hope I'm wrong.

[Artoo]

Celine Dion, Olivia Newton-John, Dolly Parton to name but three. I don’t disagree with you btw, just responding to this particular point.

As she’s become a bigger star, I’ve definitely observed a change in her - and that’s fine, but this interview with Elle doesn’t do her many favours really.

I was actually speaking more metaphorically - we all travel roads we didn’t expect to take and become versions of ourselves we couldn’t imagine.

The one with Oprah too.

When she was talking about her training and she stops and goes " Im an athlete " Like I was waiting for her to burst out laughing and say she was joking and I think Oprah was too.. but the fact that she was 100 percent serious. I mean Adele please.
