    Beautifully recorded and performed, Live at the Royal Albert Hall conveys all the drama of Adele's music and is the perfect companion piece to 21.

    Backed by a live band, including a string section and backup singers, Adele brings the dramatics of her two albums to life, with a bit of humorous, cuss-filled banter in between songs.

    Listening to Adele on these 17 songs recorded in her hometown earlier this fall is a bit like watching a pro running back score a touchdown.

    Adele's engaging ebullience is powerfully persuasive on this DVD/CD package.

    I actually had to remind myself not to clap at the conclusion of a couple songs...And in that regard, it is a tremendous success; you definitely get the full experience. Adele is luminous, compelling, funny and profane throughout, and like I said, her voice is in tiptop shape. It's one of the best 90 minutes of my life.… Expand

    Incredibly amazing. Stunning vocals, great direction and, to be honest, I'm surprised by the way she connects with the audience, not showing a single hint of her stage fright. If you have the opportunity to but this concert, I highly recommend it. You will not regret it!… Expand
