Just think the immense pressure the guy on the piano has to deal with. A stadium filled with 90, 000 odd thousand people relying on you. Adele relying on you. A entire nation relying on you. Just one slip of the finger and that's it. Everything is ruined. This one goes out to you piano guy. Crazy amount respect to you.

One woman, a microphone and a piano and it’s absolutely incredible.

[Cravennats]

INSANE how she was only 23 here. That’s so young. She sings so maturely, not to mention her lyrics are incredibly deep for someone who hasn’t lived that long

[ddt]

This was the performance that completely changed the trajectory of her career and life forever. She completely blew up overnight and this song's popularity just flew through the stratosphere. I remember it so vividly, literally everyone at school/work was talking about this performance and singing the song. Then every talent show performer, every busker on the street, it just got bigger and bigger. Such a special moment in music history. Adele should feel so proud of this song!

[luzoliveira]

The ending when her voice starts to crack… And then she starts to cry… How much life she gave to that performance! A truly singer, a star. One of my favorites of all time! Come back queen! We love you!

10 years have past. Still sounds timeless. Damn, Adele.

[hcusjrx]

Still remember watching it. The room fell silent. Doesn't matter what your musical tastes are, you have to appreciate raw, powerful, controlled talent like that. She blew the doors clean off that night. The world stood up and noticed.

[RyanPennington]

This will go down as one of the best live performances in history.

Most heart breaking song ever, just couldn't imagine how much pain someone has to endure to write this.

Its April 2024, let's see how many legends are listening to this incredible song🐐

[plebontheweb]

I still come back to this version of the song because I think the emotion of it is better than the studio version and it's so much more raw and vulnerable. This is when Adele became Adele

[DanDanCOYS]

One of the best live performances ever. It’s an iconic moment in British music history.

[Mickeyonepunch]

I love that the audience was so taken back by the performance that they stopped making noise and just listened. That's talent.

[matthewbiggin]

This performance was the making of Adele, and rightly so. One of the most emotional live vocal performances in history.

[rickiovine]

This is the epitome of talent. A piano. A voice. A great performance. Powerful. Emotional. Adele is in a class by herself.

[jareddepew]

Adele’s “21” was the album of my lifetime.

[Idahosuz]

Her voice is like rocks in a river, strong, fixed, eternal. And the piano is the river flowing gently over the rocks. Flawless.

[darrenleelayton]

She's a more polished artist now, but this performance is mesmerising because the passion and meaning shines through her completely. You feel everything in your heart. I remember seeing this the first time ever, as it went out live.Couldn't believe what I was witnessing. Majestic.

[KICKIN-BISHOPBRENNAN-UPTHEARSE]

Hats off to the pianist, forgotten hero
