We Own The Night (feat. Luciana) | Tiesto and Wolfgang Gartner
Almost four years ago, I saw Adele in concert at some Jewish Synagogue in DC with two good friends of mine. She had just released 19 and was only getting a little airplay on VH1 at the time for Chasing Pavements (a brilliant song by the way). Tickets to her show only cost $15. To this day, it was hands down on the best concerts I’ve ever been to. After the show, she waited outside the front entrance where her tourbus was and signed every autograph and posed for every picture for any fan that wanted one. She was gracious and kind, humble and sweet yet hilarious and so charming. After blinding her with my flash for the first photo, she gave a cackling laugh and joked at how horrible that picture would be and posed for yet another photo. I was so embarrassed yet so happy that I was actually meeting and talking with her! She was just so down to earth and friendly!
I knew I had just met a great artist and singer, but little did I know she would go to become one of music’s most talented and respected artists of our generation.
