ahauntingnearu Posted December 6, 2024 Posted December 6, 2024 Ugh ok hearing these amazing live arrangements re-angers me about how half-assed RO was.... Imagine if TS and FF, for example, had those vocal-only last choruses for dramatic affect? All these sweeping Cresendos throughout all songs? They played RO so safe and lazy with how they could have elevated every single song... Wow Anyway, LOVE this. This is the best part of the era hands down 3 3
J-esper Posted December 6, 2024 Posted December 6, 2024 I am so biased because I attended the show. I love everything about it. I hear so many small details in the arrangements I couldnt grasp being there. Songs like Maria and Illusion got a major facelift. Songs like Whatcha Doing and French Exit got a little more 'character' Houdini, Love Again and Training Season are songs that sound amazing in any arrangement. The cover of Sunshine is beautiful, Be The One is just timeless. Cold Heart is a cute extra and so special to have him on such a monumental show in Dua's career. Like how Kevin was present for Glastonbury. I can rave about this for hours 2 1
Asherio Posted December 6, 2024 Posted December 6, 2024 They killed with the live arrangements this feels like the highlight of the era. So glad she decided to release this as an album. 4
DUA LIPA Posted December 6, 2024 Posted December 6, 2024 i'm not even halfway through and these live arrangements are GREAT, i wish they would incorporate some small bits into the tour like the strings in the second verse of training season are great (how to love me right @ 1:38) the boppery! can't wait to hear what they did with the rest of the RO songs
pavi Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 Be The One live being so good once again... truly a timeless classic 1
brokee Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 I enjoy these new arrangements in these songs glad she released this as album so much for atrl want to see her fade away but sure her talent won't fade away
YouSmellLikeHospital Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 Falling Forever is amazing live and is the standout for me this truly is an amazing live album. Houdini, TS, Sunshine, Watcha Doing, French Exit, Illusion, Maria, Happy For You, Love Again, Pretty Please, Be The One, and Dance The Night all ate too. End of An Era and DSN were euphoric as the opening/closing songs with the buildup and crowd cheering 1
tost1 Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 Oh wow, the RO tracks really came alive with these arrangements. She did it again. This is like her covid Tiny Desk concert all over again. Love it. Love her. 1
LanaXtinaFan Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 Some of the songs got a bit of a face lift, some not. I appreciate the dramatic flare they tried to give Falling Forever, but still can't listen to it. These songs incorporate some of the magic that was missing from the original versions. This is a nice moment for her, one of the best of the "era". Unfortunately, I don't think it will make many waves over here in the states, but prove me wrong Dua! 1
Burn Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 I prefer the RO songs on this version compared to the studio version. Loved the whole album.
Heldenzeit Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 (edited) Can't wait to re-experience one of the year's best albums in a completely different way. About to dive in! Edited December 7, 2024 by Heldenzeit
Scandalous Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 oh wow i wasn't planning to even listen to this bc i don't ever listen to live albums but yall convinced me to check it out
Capris Groove Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 Okay now wait a minute. I've only heard Dua Lipa in passing before, but this is one of the best live albums I've heard in a long time. The arrangements are absolutely amazing and she sounds flawless. The drums on "Houdini" - shiiiit!
LVP Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 Whatcha doing was my least fav song from the album but this live version makes it top tier
Yuki O Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 This live version of Maria made me appreciate it more 1
AshleyLovescats887 Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 Loved the overture. Who is Albert?
unclefloprry Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 Finally able to post, this site is a mess This is amazing a highlight in her career, I know this will do justice to RO I don't know how big itv is in the UK but at least it will be on CBS prime time. Come on Dua, you deserve it.
J-esper Posted December 8, 2024 Posted December 8, 2024 Also big shout out for whoever did the mixing and sync of the tracks. The way the tracklisting and the actual show are in different orders at some points but if you don't know, you probably wouldnt notice. The CD is also pretty, listening on repeat
Ivan_brit Posted December 8, 2024 Posted December 8, 2024 Im truly speachless the album is a 10/10 Every Radical Optimism song sound truly monumental Houdini i cant believe this song any version is a total slay!!! Maria, End Of An Era, Dance The Night, Falling Forever & These Walls are My Faves
