This young lady's CD has only been in the rig twice. Once to discover a really bad recording and once more to provide my observations. It would be nice to get such talent to sound decent in my rig, rather than in the truck.

Hello, Amir. Just a quick update. I got it in today [Adele, LIVE at the Royal Albert Hall] and I will be offering my observations as soon as I get a chance to watch it. Up first? A whole boatload of new music that I have been yearning to listen too.

Sounds good! FYI, I put the CD in my and listened to it over, and over and over again. Bad idea. Now I can't listen to it anymore

I haven't got the Blu-ray yet, but the concert was on SkyHD yesterday here in the UK. The whole family were transfixed. That's a wonderful venue, a career high for ANY performer, and she seemed so confident.

What I really enjoyed was it was much better recorded than the CD - which is tragic, and suffers from the 21st century disease. It doesn't always work out with concerts, but I think TV & film-makers often get it right more than recording engineers these days.

Chasing Pavements was always my favourite.

Great song, but this just does me in....

I don't think there is a bad song in that concert. But I also have a soft spot for that one John.

She has another Blu-ray coming out soon, according to a blurb I read.

That would be great.

Turns out it's just a documentary with interviews, etc.....

I haven't offered my observations of this concert yet and for that, I do ask your forgiveness. Tonight, I did stumble across this which may be of interest to those who are fans of this young woman.

Watching it as we speak [or type]......

My wife and I watched this concert last night. LOVED IT. What a voice and I thought the recording was excellent.

But unlike listening to the same music on CD, watching AND listening to it on a Bluray, I am much more involved in the overall performance and less on just the music. And any audio reproduction shortcomings I might have not have liked on a CD were more than overcompensated for by enjoying the performance. Bluray concerts are very enjoyable
