This is Adele's tour blog. Some highlights:
"The hair spray is out and the band is starting to take on a ‘look’ – this can happen on tour. Robert is going for early seventies Waylon Jennings"

and

"I stood back close to the drums for "German Farmhouse" ..suddenly...bang/ fizz/smoke/flash of light, heavy glass falls from above, just missing my head and then my bass amp stops..ahh..I'm about to die!! All i could think of was a potential deadly electric shock..which when I thought about it after the show..."

fantastic reading & amazing photos.

yeah, i love that photo of rob and glen kneeling down in front of their fender amps. ALthough Glenn's amp looks like a small mesa boogie>? most venues have oriental /antique looking rugs on stage now, which is really nice for smaller acts, I know Wilco have been doing it for sometime. Makes a change form days of youre, like broken bottle shards, fags, gaffa tape, nails and packets of dry cement!

this made me laugh out loud:

I can reveal Robert is lost in the Mama Cass biography and its loving depiction of the early to mid Sixties folk rock scene. He tells us he is ‘digging’ it – this is some of the ancient hipster speak he favours and which we at time struggle to decode. We think it means he is enjoying the book. Read on, Robert.
