Adele sang 18 songs and got tired of telling stories. Saturday came out triumphant from the Meo Arena. This Sunday will return there to sing about rumpled hearts or eruptive hearts -. And that, at bottom, is singing about all of us
They spent nine minutes of the 20 pm Saturday when Meo Arena lights They went out and that voice filled the air to say just one word: “Hello.” It was enough to more than 18,000 hearts soar and a standing ovation popping a bang. The eyes searched her and she came not on stage but in an unexpected center of the audience. The white spots collapsed on Adele wrapped in a black dress to flicker. And a boatload of mobile phones rose to capture that moment, the most anticipated since that December day in which more than 30,000 tickets sold out in a few hours.
Not much time was needed to see that the Adele concert would be a range of general commotion. Thus it was for two hours. The audience in a rousing enthusiasm, spared him no pampering or glories and the singer seemed genuinely amazed similar “feedback” emotional. “Never in my life heard such a noisy crowd,” he said amid thunderous care.
The first of two Adele concert in Lisbon was impeccable, one equilibradíssimo mix of professionalism with a rare relaxation in a popstar. The voice never failed him. The band has always been up to. The sound, at least at the front, was close to perfection.
Adele proved to be a person of sympathy. And it was not proper protocol those sympathies which we often see in great artists. It even seems to be a porreiraça who loves to talk and interact with the public. And he spoke very, very much. Not infrequently the pauses between songs were extended for four or five minutes because she wanted to babble with assistance. He called two children on stage – Catherine and Peter -. And asked the entire room to sing happy birthday to Catherine
Adele told stories of his life, adventures with her boyfriend or travel. Said on Friday went to the beach, the Portuguese food is “fuckin’great!” and was walking to the zoo.
The speech is always spiced by many words, a detail that even fits him very well. Adele may have 18,000 fans in front but talk to them as if they were all his friends at the table of a “pub” London. And it feels that none of it is forced, it’s all very spontaneous.
Musically speaking, in two hours she left 18 songs. The latest album – “25″ – was the most played with 8 songs. Followed by 6 “21″, 2 “19″, a version of “Make you feel my love”, Bob Dylan, and the inevitable “Skyfall” James Bond. Brought considerable band with her, complete with string section and all.
At one point, when he sang in a more acoustic and moderate regime, he fumbled in the middle of “Million years ago,” and exchanged the letter. Launched a sudden “Wrong words! Shit! Sorry!” Interrupted the music but resumed immediately.
The final stretch of the concert was given to “Chasing Pavements”, “Someone like you”, “fire Set to the rain “,” All I ask, “” when we Were young “and” Rolling in the deep “.
One of the most memorable moments for fans will certainly happened during” Someone like you ” with the entire pavilion to sing the lyrics and everyone with the mobile flashlight on, to create a stellar effect. There was even a guy who preferred to raise the flame of a lighter, a heroic gesture and increasingly rare but it deserves to be preserved.
Your show was further enhanced by the magnificent video projection work on transparent screens which often were ahead of the band or another screen in a rearmost part. The images were almost all of a remarkable charm – Skyfall in, for example, silver floating clouds in skies with charcoal tones – and the fact that the two screens are dissolved in one another provided a tremendous effect. All this with many great singer plans face and an image resolution that is rarely seen in projections of this size.
The concert Saturday joined 18,620 people in Meo Arena and filled the room. For this Sunday are expected to so many. Not in that disillusioned with the power and spontaneity of Adele coming here singing about hearts crumpled or eruptive hearts -. And that, at bottom, is singing about all of us
