no adele thread yet?

Here’s a secret: she’s not 30
I know this is a small detail but lol

I guess she needed some time to kind of figure out what it felt like to be 30

this album sounded trippy af to me, the first side anyway

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

it’s okay this is a safe space

I can only imagine what this album sounds like. “Ooh, thirty…thirty now”

why is she balling about not having a concert? jfc

bawling rather lol it's just weird

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!

i saw what i think was adele's first american show. she was fine but i think i left early.

Aw, this warms my heart:
