“Did you cry? I wanted to cry,” one man, who had just come from an Adele concert in Sydney’s ANZ Stadium, asked a stranger while we waiting in line at a bar on Friday night. No one thought the question odd. The stranger had also been to see Adele and he nodded in agreement. “She was incredible.”
Just like that, the strangers weren’t strangers anymore.
The magic of these moments, these small, in-between moments, is what Australia is left with as the 28-year-old songstress sweeps through the country.
Certainly, her artistry and voice and musicianship is spectacular. But it’s the connections Adele forms with her crowd – making strangers no longer strangers – that have given her tour its undeniable buzz.
Here are a few of our favourites:
When she fired t-shirts into the crowd.
“No fighting. If a kid’s there, the kid gets it. That’s the rule,” Adele was using a “tee-shirt gun” to send merchandise out into the crowd.
Each tee-shirt came with a $20 note attached, for people to “buy a drink on me.”
She was trying to see who caught the tee-shirt, in a crowd of almost 100,000 people.
“Turn that bloody spotlight down, I can’t see a thing,” she laughed.
