Here’s a secret: she’s not 30I know this is a small detail but lol
― calstars, Wednesday, 24 November 2021 22:38 (two years ago) link
I guess she needed some time to kind of figure out what it felt like to be 30

Not really an Adele nerd, but aren't her titles the age she was when started on the album?

Because she's so sad. Maybe she'll release an album about it. She could call it "Lost Vegas."

I always wished I caught this show The timing was ridiculously perfect - like they booked these small venues before she really turned into a megastar, and things just rapidly blew up during the course of the tour. Apparently even then-mayor Rahm Emanuel pulled some strings to get into the show.

Honestly, those are my favorite kinds of shows, where you catch the act at a place you are already well aware they will never play again.

I worked at Tower Records in Manhattan in the early 90s. Nirvana came in and did about a 45 minute set in the store right when Nevermind was released. My biggest memory of the event was that they were fucking loud.

It's especially perfect when they're doing their best material. Nevermind goes without saying, and in Adele's case, I actually think her albums have gotten worse each time out - the first is still my favorite, the second is uneven with great highlights, and both were the only ones she could draw from when she did that tour.

I thought she sounded like Amy Winehouse when I first heard her.

she was a huge Amy fan - iirc Amy was why she started singing!
