I’m off a day on picking a song for Jamesy’s Motivational Music Monday, but I think I’m excused. I was kind of busy yesterday. You see, Adele was playing at the Key Arena in Seattle, and we were fortunate enough to be there. A fabulous performer to the very core, and such a down to earth girl to boot. She interacted with the audience brilliantly, even pulling some fans on stage at different times, completely making their entire year I’m sure. Following are scenes from the evening, a couple of videos I recorded, plus my choice for MMM.
Starting the evening off at a local restaurant, The Yard House. The food was 5-star delicious:
Waiting for the show to start. The eyes open when she comes on:
Her set was fabulous and the big screen was great, sometimes zooming in on her face, sometimes showing random stuff:
Sold out concert, and she had everyone lighting the torches on their phones (this was way before the encore):
Last song of the night after nearly 2-1/2 hours:
The Space Needle at night:
The first video I recorded was “Hello.” It’s probably not as intense on the video, but Seattle put off a lot of energy for her last night:
The next one I recorded was “Skyfall.” In this one, you can see just how cool her set really was.
As for my song for the week, I’m sticking with Adele and her latest, “Send My Love (To Your New Lover).”
If there was one performer/group that you wish could see live, who would that be?
Lucky you!! I would love to see her perform! 🙂

Thanks honey!! Agree with you on Queen… and Wham! Definitely Wham! And, and, and, Tears For Fears… but who knows, we might have a chance in the future to see them, although I’m not so sure it will be the same as it would’ve back in the ’80s. Wish to see… yes, definitely Adele again! Maybe even JB… hahahaha… NOT! ;D

I don’t know, I would just love to go to concerts more often. They’re so damn expensive, though!

Yeah, these days they are. They used to go for $25 to $30 a ticket back in the ’80s, but now… that’s how much a glass of wine is at the event, lol!
