She's is great, but I have a hard time believing her voice is going to last through the whole tour. It's going to be tough for ticketmaster to give all that money back and disappoint those fans.

Anyone know how long her shows are? Not expecting a 3 hour marathon but hoping it's not just an hour.

Went to the opening night show in Belfast last night. She was very nervous at the start but she settled in and put on a great show. She uses a main stage and a smaller stage in the middle of the floor. There are some very cool visual surprises and she changes up the staging several times. 'Set Fire to the Rain' was the showstopper when she she stood in the middle of the arena with a cascade of water falling all around her. Very cool.

Saw her tonight in Chicago....holy crap! She made the show fun and was completely blown by her voice. Phenomenal, to say the very least! Soooooo glad the wife scored tickets....well worth the ticket price.

I was at the Chicago show on the 11th as well. (Also saw her twice in Glasgow back in March - yes I am a bit of a superfan). If anything I think her voice was better in Chicago - she absolutely nailed All I Ask and the high note in When We Were Young. She seems to be getting more chatty as well, and keeps bringing more and more people up on stage to talk, sing, take pictures, etc.
Also, tickets can be had at reasonable prices. Keep checking for drops (this is how I got all mine - and the one in Chicago was good enough that I was two people from the B stage during Chasing Pavements/Someone Like You/Set Fire To The Rain), and even the Craigslist/ebay listings are approaching face value for really good seats the day before or day of the show. Evidently they were going for below face the first night in St. Paul (a weeknight with bad weather).
It is interesting that there is absolutely no Adele community out there that I can find that has an active forum like this one or Backstreets. One of the reasons I am posting here, because I can't really find anywhere else to go other that's better than the Twitter crowd (some of which is OK but most of which is underwhelming - just loving the arguments about whether Adele and Taylor Swift hate each other (ugh).
Absolutely fucking awesome! Hot damn she's good! She sounds just like listening to her record!
She could sing lullabies to me any night!
she is everything you see and hear about. Very private but just fairly normal. Beautiful. Her hair wasn't all beehive teased weaved out and she had her natural nails. Just sayin.
Can't say enough. But not going to ruin it for anyone.
Oh please let it rain today.
Those that can be trusted can change their mind.
9 more days for me, I cannot wait!! Voices like hers don't come along very often. Looking forward to a great show!

It was phenomenal!! I had a great time! Her voice is just as spectacular live as I was hoping it would be. And that's no easy feat by the 81st show of the tour! Her banter was great as well, I always appreciate when an artists takes time out to talk a little (in Adele's case, a whole lot--but I didn't mind!) Full band, with strings, too--very nice touch.
She has such a strong catalog, every song was a highlight! Make You Feel My Love was probably my favorite moment of the evening. Her cover is stunning.
I'd go see her again in a heartbeat!

My wife and I had tickets to the cancelled Phoenix show so our makeup show is this coming Monday night. Hopefully we get an extra song or two to make up for it.

My absolutely amazing year of Adele has come to a close. Ended up going to 8 shows - both nights in Glasgow, second night in Chicago, seventh night in LA, first night in Nashville, both nights in Dallas, and second night in Houston. In LA, the merch notebook I bought was one of the 5 she signs each night. The first night in Dallas I was on the front row with my daughter, who had made her a mug with "Adele's Hot Honey" on it - and Adele stopped the show and came down and got it from her, giving us a bit of conversation and posing for a picture with us in the process!!! She has used the mug on stage at every show since then, too.
(Ok I wanted to put a picture here, but can't figure out how to do it :()
As far as the shows go, yes the setlists have been static (and have dropped from 18 songs at the beginning to 16-17 now, depending on whether or not she plays "I Miss You" on any given night), but what makes it worth going to multiple shows is her chattiness, humor, and interaction with the audience (if you are a superfan )
Her voice has held up very well...although the tour has been long, it has not been very "dense" - lots of nights off and no more than 2 consecutive shows. It hasn't been perfect (sounded like the 2nd night in Mexico was a little raspy, but that is not surprising due to the high altitude and pollution), but no indication of anything other than a little fatigue.
I am excited that the 2017 legs of the tour look like they will be a substantially revised (if not completely revamped) production for stadiums. Although not a fan of stadium shows in general, it will be very interesting to see how she changes things up. I can't help but think they will be a bit more casual (no more ball gown, for example), and I am really hoping that she changes up the setlist as well, maybe replacing a couple of the slower songs with more upbeat ones like "I'll Be Waiting" or "Cold Shoulder". I am hoping that she tops the tour off with several dates back in London - we could probably make a family vacation there that would include a show, but Australia or deep South America (if she goes there) would be more of a challenge.
My wife and I had tickets to the cancelled Phoenix show so our makeup show is this coming Monday night. Hopefully we get an extra song or two to make up for it.
Have fun! Don't know if you will get any extra songs, but I can almost guarantee that she will cry for you!
OK enough with my dissertation! Like I mentioned in a previous post, there is NO active forum that I can find to go on and on about Adele so I unload it on you guys!
What a great show in Phoenix. She is super chatty and very foul mouthed. It was great. We all thought Eddie talked but she makes him seem like Dave Matthews. Can't say enough good things about her ability as a live performer. I was highly impressed.

We saw the first Sydney Olympic Park show last Friday. She was 'in the round' with the stage in the centre of the stadium. There were over 95,500 people there - the first thing Adele said was "I've never seen a crowd this fucking big!"
Her voice was amazing, and she's funny as hell in between songs too. She was on for 2 hours, with no support act. At $300+ per ticket it was crazy expensive but as my wife said, "You've taken me to see some weird shit over the years, now it's my turn!"

BUT MUSICALLY SHE WILL NOT DISAPPOINT! !!
She is just, we were in the bleeds which in the palace isn't really that high
AND her band is just killer!! The sound system was loud and you could feel that bass that bass....
Any way you get the point. I'd see her again!

And during breaks between songs when she talked she was funny & seems real down to earth
