I was there! This was recorded in the break room at the Billboard offices in New York. I worked two floors below, and I’d heard this song on the radio and liked it, so when I found out that Adele would be performing, I decided to go upstairs and watch. There were no more than 15 or 20 people in the room, since she was still mostly unknown in this country. She’d just arrived in the U.S., but that night she would make her American TV debut on the David Letterman show. I was so lucky to see her in person literally hours before her career would take off here. Sitting just a few feet away and hearing that voice, I was blown away.

Her voice is an instrument. It’s so beautiful. She doesn’t even need the guitar.

Damn she has change a lot but her voice it's exactly the same. Pure talent & legend

[bellajuventina]

These two are still together after 8 years- playing at arenas and stadiums

[valentina]

Dear Lord this is even better than the studio version! What an artist.

[aledows]

[robeuy]

Ten years later she's still showing a display of her pure talent, Easy On Me out now!

i cant believe they didnt have color technology back in 2008. amazing archival footage from the caves.

BEFORE MONEY!!! You know, Adele's one of those very few artists that can reach multiple generations with varying tastes in music. Like let's be real for a second. Adele is so timeless she honestly doesn't have to release new albums to stay relevant or stay wealthy. People will stream her music and buy her CDs for as long as she lives.

Watching this a few days after "Easy On Me" came out. A 6 year wait is finally over and I can't wait for the whole album to come out in November. Adele is the icon of my life, if I ever meet her I'll burst into tears.

[GinaCiccone]

[SZAliaBanks]

Imagine her and Amy singing together …

[alexandrakek]

Not going to lie, this is a way better version by far than the studio version.

[milaantikasari]

[TK-cgks]

I cannot believe they managed to find the first ever video recording. Phenomenal.

[alnotalli]

Baby Adele’s voice breaks are snatching the edges of my heart. bald. Traction alopecia bald.

[hannaftw]

how can she be so humble with that voice?

[portakalagaci]

Did she write this song when she was a teenage? What a pure talent! Lets hope she will live so long. I cannot imagine her voice and lyrics on 50s. Great woman!

[ninicherefe]

literally she has the most unique and beautiful voice i’ve EVER HEARD
