Highlights

This is the first of Adam's two South African mini-tour concerts. The gig features a heavily reworked set complete with new songs, new costumes, dancers and props (including a straitjacket)!

  • The new/reworked songs:
    With "Cuckoo" now performed early on the set, it no longer contains the band introduction but is performed in full.
    "Pop That Lock" is no longer performed as a mashup.
    The first performance of "Underneath", performed with great emotional intensity.
    The bridge of "Broken English" is once again performed with the "siren wailing" like the Napa concert 10 days earlier.
    "Outlaws of Love" is performed with a reggae feel, and as a medley with "Is this Love".
    David Bowie's "Fame", which Adam once performed every night for the Idols tour makes a reappearance, serving as a nice treat for earlier and new fans.
    "Strut", which was last performed publicly in Moscow in 2011 (and privately in 2011), also makes a reappearance.
  • The dancers:
    The gig marks the return of Terrance Spencer who danced for Adam during GNT and Johnny Rice. Both have a long history of friendship with Adam, and danced for him on "Kiss & Tell" years ago.
  • The costumes (where to begin?):
    • For the first part of the set, a blue suit with lightning bolt emblazoned on the back of the jacket. The background singers (Reyna and Traci) wear blue wigs of the same colour.
    • Straitjacket over the blue outfit for "Cuckoo".
    • Jeans, black tank top and vest for the middle, slower section.
    • Fringed arm sleeves with a black tank top, vest and lace-up crotch leather pants; the background singers sport black afro wigs.
    • Black and yellow striped leather jacket custom-designed by The Blonds, with yellow pants spray-painted with black stripes. The dancers sport yellow afro wigs.
