Her banter may be PG/Cringy at times, imo it's because she's performing in big arenas where kids and easily outraged crowds are attending, she can't say something like this now

OMG I remember this.

You're right, if anything Adele has really toned down her banter, she was really over the top back then, no filter at all. Maybe the length of her banter has increased a bit, but that's only because she wants to actually interact with her audience and literally talk to some of the people there on stage, face to face. Which is a good thing, I think.

The only thing I would've liked differently for this tour is less dates, because +100 shows really does take a toll on her voice. Her voice is easily prone to fatigue, as we all know from the past. She starts off strong, but as it goes on you can tell her voice gets tired. When she comes back from a break she sounds better again, but it quickly wears off, so multiple breaks in between the shows are not enough for +100 shows. With that said, she's doing much better than her last tour, so far only one postponed date. Thank god she's really taking care of herself this time.

A stadium tour could easily solve this.

Agree with all of this. Stadium tour could also more easily support her ticket demand and work better logistically for the future. We shall see.

Best to worst MVs imo: RITD > Hello > SLY > HG > SML > CP > CS > MYFML

Well if she did less dates many of us probably wouldn't have seen her so... Stadiums may be a good idea, but the arena was actually a really nice setting IMO!

[iamvladd]

According to data supplied by Nielsen Music, “25” has currently sold 10.3 million copies, with a majority of those coming from traditional sales – 6.2 million physical albums and 2.8 million digital downloads.

So 9M in pure sales, 10.3M SPS.

I secretly hope we get a live dvd by the end of the year.

Well I live in CA, it wouldn't really be a problem for me so

But no really, you do have a point. The arena tour is amazing actually, just thinking of ways of minimizing Adele's vocal fatigue. Maybe half and half arena/stadium?

[Ichinaru19]

Nice and same

Btw I think I got the second nicest litho from Adele's stay at MSG

https://twitter.com/DayOneAdeleFans/...32469406846976

I got the 23rd. I think the nicest one is probably the first one on the 20th

Maybe space it out slightly more (more breaks in between)? And yeah maybe add a few stadium dates here and there although I don't think they want to handle two different types of venues to play at.

[daydreams]

True Ichi, any fewer shows on this tour would've just been further madness from the ticket perspective.

But for the future, stadiums could provide as many or more tickets with much fewer shows, she's shown to be able to handle crowds much bigger and rowdier with Glasto than any of her own would be, and really I don't think that much, if any, of what makes her shows special would be lost if it's done right.
I actually got last minute tickets to One Direction at Ohio Stadium a couple summers years ago, not my favorite show musically (mostly because I didn't know half of the setlist ), but by far my favorite venue/atmosphere-wise. It was just a chill, gorgeous night; music sounded good, lots of interaction with the audience, and from the lower bowl it was much less industrial feeling than an arena. Plus MYFML would just look so cool in that kind of setting

Honestly all of the NYC lithos are amazing.

Is it safe to assume the south american/australian dates will likely be announced after the Grammys??

[Adele Addict]

"I'll Be Waiting" is currently slaying my life—definitely one of the most underrated tracks in her discography.

Damn, I just realized how amazing the Madison Square Garden lithographs are. I seriously love them!

Also... DYING at the crispy tissue video. One of my favorite stories ever!

My ranking of her videos is:
1. "Hello"/"Rolling in the Deep" (tie)
2. "When We Were Young" (one of my favorite live performances of hers, even though it was a huge injustice to the song)
3. "Someone Like You"
4. "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)"
5. "Make You Feel My Love"
6. "Chasing Pavements"
7. "Turning Tables"
8. "Set Fire to the Rain"
9. "Hometown Glory"
10. "Cold Shoulder"

I seriously love her live performances SO much. I legit go back and watch them for fun all the time. They're just captivating.

[Ichinaru19]

MYFML would look amazing in a stadium. Seeing MYFML live was amazing I have a pretty nice picture too of that performance with all the cellphones

And yeah all the NYC lithos are great

[Ichinaru19]

Anyways I agree with Addict that RITD and Hello are pretty much equal video wise After that I think SML or SLY is next, and HG follows with MYFML and CP and CS being the bottom three.

Be careful, or you'll trigger DayFusion

[Mike91]

I don't want a tour dvd this year. I want it to be an HBO special so she can get that Emmy.



She can release it to dvd afterwards.

[OneAndOnly]

Premiere a new song during the HBO special so she can get an additional Emmy nom for Original Music and Lyrics.



The more the merrier.
