Maroon 5 - Friday The 13th

Music
USA  /  English

Here the soul-tinged pop/rock act runs through every tune from JANE, including audience-interactive versions of "This Love," the breezy "She Will Be Loved," and a rendition of "Secret" that works in the Bill Withers classic "Ain't No Sunshine." As always, frontman Adam Levine's plaintive, Stevie Wonder-like vocals carry the songs, with the rest of the band providing tight backing. During the show, the Los Angeles-based group also offers up a new original track, the gently funky "Wasted Years," and an unlikely (and surprisingly faithful) cover of Oasis's "Hello," which proves to be the concert's most rocked-out moment. Although this release is truly for Maroon 5 diehards, anyone who appreciates the quintet's amiable pop will be entertained by FRIDAY THE 13TH as well.
