Maroon 5 Tour

Overexposed Tour - 12th October 2012

Support: Evermore

I'll admit, one of the reasons I got tickets for this tour was to see Adam Levine and hope that he would take his shirt off... Much to my disappointment, he did not take his shirt off. I have not seen many actual bands, more so individual performers. Our seats were amazing for this show, however sometimes our view was interferred by a square thing on top of a pole - not sure what this was. Needless to say, we had a lovely view of Adam Levine.

Vocals: Adam Levine admited to being unwell during the show (perhaps a common cold or the flu), as anyone would expect this would effect his vocal abilities, however it didn't. During parts where he spoke to the crowd, he did sound a little under the weather, however this did not imapct on his vocals throughout the show - still managing to sound near perfect as he sounds on the bands recorded music.

Costumes: The band wore white; white pants, white tshirts, but black shoes. An interesting choice for an all male band, it somewhat worked for them though. It made it easy to see where they all were (I had forgotten to bring my glasses to this concert) and it worked well with the entire black stage and black back drop curtain.

Stage: The stage was nothing overly special, it was a standard rectangle shaped stage with the band placed about the stage filling it up. Adam Levine used the entire front part of the stage to move around while he was performing. At one point there was a giant disco ball suspended from the ceiling of the arena, lights were on the spinning ball and the arena looked very pretty - possibly the prettiest I have ever seen it look!

Dancing: Not a lot of dancing throughout this concert, however Adam Levine did pull the moves occasionly throughout. There isn't much to comment on about the dancing because there was very little - although this is expected.

Setlist: The setlist was very good! It included all the bands released singles, including other songs off of their Overexposed album and also their upcoming single. I would say the crowd most enjoyed Payphone (which the band opened with) and Moves Like Jagger (which the band closed the concert with). Moves Like Jagger had the crowd singing louder than Adam Levine at some points - this I love!

Crowd Interaction: There was a lack of crowd interaction during this concert. Adam Levine, I felt, did not chat with the crowd a great deal or get them involved within songs much as I have previously seen.

Support Act: I hadn't heard a lot from Evermore in the past few years, but they had their latest album drop the same day as the concert. The music performed sounded very good! However, the vocals were not very loud and it was often difficult to understand what their lead singer was attempting to say to the audience at times.

Overall I rate this concert three and a half stars out of five - this would have been more if Adam Levine took his shirt off!!!

Peace
