One of the best concerts I've seen....

Last night I attended the Adele concert at Chicago's Park West. What an amazing show!

[Side note: If you don't know Adele by now, check her out at her website.]

Adele's vocals are unmatched and incredible, as you may be aware... and her stage presence was just delightful! A little shy, very gracious and all around fun to watch, Adele blew the crowd away! She performed many songs from her current album and did a few covers including her favorite artist Etta Jones and also Sam Cook. She, previously unknown to me, plays the guitar and performed one song alone on stage with her guitar and one alone with her bass....

Adele's Current Album

Her band adds to delight with their playful attitudes and great performance! It really seemed as though everyone on stage was having a great time! The time flew by, and I ached for more singing! I was sad when the night was over, but gained an even larger appreciation for Adele!

Word on the street (actually, straight from Adele's mouth last night) is she will be back in Chicago in May!
