7.20.13 Adam unleashed in Paso Robles!!

Just a quick note on the setlist. Purple Haze and AYGGMW were not exactly a medley, like he's been doing. Purple Haze was the full song and then some, with all kinds of improvisation and LONG!!!  

Seeing Adam live is without doubt one of the MOST incredible experiences of my life. He explodes on the stage with what has got to be a superhuman voice, I mean what mere mortal can sing like that? His stage presence is likewise from another world, as is often mentioned, when he is on stage in is almost impossible to look at anyone else. Need I say handsome? He seems to emanate joy from every pour and spread it through the audience, the often mentioned aura I think. The audience adores him and he adores them back. As was said of the Del Mar concert, this was such a joyous event. The band was very good and has caught a lot of Adam's joy. Concert was great from beginning to end, highlights for me were KI, Fever,DA/WWRY, Shady and the fantastic encore.

My sister, who has done none of the prep work, was in complete awe. She was amazed by his power, clarity and range and how effortless it seemed. She mentioned how nice it was to be able to understand the lyrics which has often not been the case for her. One of her favorite things was how eclectic the song choice was. Other artists she has seen had songs that all sounded more or less the same and after a few numbers they got boring and droned on. She liked how lively the concert was making it impossible to just sit, I loved that too. She liked the way he worked the entire stage and thought him very graceful. We both found him super sexy. Now I have a concert friend if another opportunity arrives.

I was worrying all week that the crowd would be small, and Adam might feel sad that more people had not come out to see him, so the very respectable size of the crowd was a relief to me. It was pretty diverse with a lot of older women around us, we fit right in, but also some teens and some men. We thought the young girl behind us might expire she got so excited when he come to our side of the stage. It was a perfectly soft and gentle California night. Not hot at all hot and in fact, I had to but on my sweater between Allison's and Adam's sets. I had the pleasure of meeting Myspenser who is just as nice and warm as can be.
Now that I have gone once, I really can't wait to see him live again. New goal: to share this experience with my daughter.
