Recently I was lucky enough to go to the Adele concert in Phoenix with my wonderful mother in law and youngest sister in law. They invited me months ago and I have been looking forward to it ever since. But i've gotta say the timing could not have been better. I had given notice the day before at my old job and I was in desperate need of some solid family time. Adele did not disappoint. In fact I think she is actually better in person than she is recorded. And even more amazingly, she was super sick the night of her performance. So sick that she ended up canceling her show the following night. We lucked out going the first night! Sorry about the unfortunate iPhone photos. I try not to take my big camera to events like this because I like to live in the moment and I find it difficult when i'm carrying a big monster camera around.
Best moments:
- She sang chasing pavements and every single person knew every single word. You could hear the crowd in the background even when she was singing.
-Her opening to Hello DID NOT disappoint. It was magical and we had awesome seats. She popped up right in front of us.
-She's HILARIOUS and cheeky. So much personality is built into her show and she is constantly spewing honesty. Which made her somewhat depressing songs still seem light hearted.
-We were young
-The couple in front of me. Definitely someone who dragged their significant other to the concert. She danced like crazy the whole time. He downed beers faster than I thought possible. At one point Adele asked the crowd if anyone had come alone. She raised both hands and screamed "I CAME ALONE" her poor guy said "um.. i'm right here.." Tragic and hugely entertaining. I love people watching. Seriously best thing ever.
