When I found out that they were planning on making a DVD recording of this show, November 29th, 2011 could not come any faster. I was quick to venture off to my nearest Best Buy on my lunch break and grab a copy. Once I reviewed the packaging I was even more thrilled to learn that my cool "Blu-ray" version of the concert came with a CD recording of the concert itself. "HOLY CRAP!"
Okay so let's get serious, shall we? This concert experience was something to behold. The Royal Albert Hall is the crème-de-la-crème of venues in the UK. It is a historic site that has housed the musical genius if legends and pit's pretty posh. As usual, Adele drops you on your butt the minute she opens her mouth and you hear the power of her magnificent voice. To me she is the modern day reincarnation of R&B Divas, Ella Fitzgerald and Aretha Franklin. Her music connects with you in a way that so few performers are able to do in today’s fast paste music market.
The show offers listeners and viewers a delightful assortment of Adele’s two albums ("19" and "21"). Her brilliant performance of "Someone Like You" is highly emotional for not only Adele herself, but for all those listening in attendance at Albert Hall and at home. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! If there is anything to criticize is the fact that there was a lot more banter in between songs than there should have been, however, Adele's commentary provides you with a closer look at the roots of her lyrical content for her music. Not only that but, you really get to enjoy her "cheeky" quips and personality that make her such a loveable person.
If you have not seen this show I would strongly recommend that you do so. Make it a "Block Buster Night", grab your friend, loved ones, and some wine and lose yourself in the angelic vocals of one of today's brightest stars.
