Went to the Adele Perth concert at Domain Stadium last night. The performing stage is amazing, and we got good seats. That is a 360 degrees video wall and the eyes open up when the show begins!

Alas the sound system is just not up to scratch for a wannabe audiophile like me. Compression is an issue - like all the released albums. 

Still there is no stopping this charismatic, jovial and quick witted performer. She has the ability to light up the room, any room. And she definitely lit up the 100 year old stadium with about 65000 singing, dancing fans!

It was an enjoyable night, and bonus points for the awesome weather! Given a crowd of 65,000 headless choooks¹, I expected the worse. We took public transport to and from the venue, and kudos to Transperth’s organisation as the experience is extremely smooth and pleasant back and forth.

I’m sure people will complain on Twitter about how they are delayed by this and that, but for us we are back home real quick. There are clear signs indicating where the pick up/drop off points are, and all in all it was a pleasant experience. Well done Transperth!

More grainy pictures after the link. Great event to mark the first anniversary of the Snakeoil OS yesterday.
