Maroon 5 held a private concert in Dolby Theatre, LA, for a school fundraising (75th Anniversary) on 7 November 2015. Jay-Z and Beyonce was also spotted in the audience.
Stage Right Secrets (Review) - The stage rotated again and the lights were down. My favorite set was coming up. There was no music at first, just wolf howling. Maroon 5 took the stage playing “Animals” and as much notes as I was taking during the show, most of my notes for the Maroon 5 set had to do with how hot and amazing Adam Levine is in person.
They transitioned into “One More Night” and then into the Gym Class Heroes song “Stereo Hearts“. Maroon 5 fans are hilarious and incredible, during the show most of them just had their arms stretched out, their heads back, just soaking in the music and having their golden moments. When the band started playing “Harder to Breathe” I thought it sounded a little weird live. Obviously recordings and live shows differ, but I wasn’t too impressed with that song. However, there were a couple things during that song though that were pretty cool. First of all, bongos were played. Second of all, guitarist James Valentine was rocking out hard and made me stop paying attention to Adam. Nice job, James! They continued into “This Love” where Adam picked up a hot pink guitar and played with the band. It wouldn’t be a Maroon 5 show without the song “Sunday Morning” which got everyone waiving their light up tubes provided by the Hollywood Bowl in the same swaying directions. They started playing their song “Payphone” but only played the beginning before Adam asked the audience if they wanted to actually hear that song or a different one. I personally love “Payphone” so I was a little upset when they ended with “Moves Like Jagger” instead of playing the rest of the song. Still, it was my favorite performance of the night!
