Maroon 5 in Concert
Maroon 5 have released two multi-platinum studio albums (2002's Songs About Jane and 2007's It Won't Be Soon Before Long), scored a string of hit singles ("This Love," "She Will Be Loved," "Harder to Breathe," "Sunday Morning," "Makes Me Wonder"), won three Grammy Awards, and sold 15 million albums around the world. Now the Los Angeles quintet is back with its third-studio album, entitled Hands All Over — a killer hybrid of rock, pop, funk, and R&B, that showcases the band's considerable strengths: buoyant, unforgettable melodies, sleek, stylish grooves, charged lyrics about turbulent relationships, and crisp, dynamic performances.
Adam Levine, the band's lyricist, began writing the songs that appear on Hands All Over after winding down from a world tour in support of It Won't Be Soon Before Long. A few months later, Maroon 5 received a phone call from veteran studio wizard Robert John "Mutt" Lange (AC/DC, Foreigner, The Cars), who had heard that Maroon 5 were beginning to write a new album and expressed an interest in producing it. "We didn't even talk to anyone else," Levine says. "Mutt is undeniably one of the most successful producers who's ever lived."
Levine's first performing experience — in fact the event that ignited his desire to become a singer and musician — actually involves Lange. The story goes like this: 20 years ago, when Levine was 10, he attended a friend's birthday party "at one of those places in the San Fernando Valley where the kids dress up in rock'n'roll gear and lip-sync their favorite songs," he says. Levine chose the Def Leppard classic "Pour Some Sugar On Me." "I knew I could sing because my music teacher told me I had a voice, but I had never really performed before. I grabbed the mic and just went for it. Afterwards I knew that I've got to do this for the rest of my life. That's what got the whole ball rolling for me." The classic anthem "Pour Some Sugar On Me" was, of course, famously produced by Lange. "If that's not a full 360, I don't know what is," Levine says. "It doesn't get more circular than that."
In July 2009, the members of Maroon 5 — Levine, keyboardist Jesse Carmichael, bassist Mickey Madden, guitarist James Valentine, and drummer Matt Flynn — decamped to Lange's studio in Vevey, Switzerland, on the north shore of Lake Geneva where they worked distraction-free with the Swiss Alps looming in the distance. "Just being near those majestic mountains and lakes was so inspiring," says Jesse Carmichael. "Waking up and seeing these giant snow-capped peaks, it set the tone for the record and made the whole thing feel like some sort of magical summer camp experience." Adds Carmichael: "Mutt really helped us play to the best of our ability. And it drove us to be bigger and better than ever. Everything he does is huge."
"Huge" is a good way to describe Hands All Over, starting with the hard-rocking title track that is heavier than anything Maroon 5 has ever done. Says Valentine: "It doesn't sound like anything we've done so far." Another stylistic departure is "Out of Goodbyes," a stunning country ballad that features musical and vocal contributions from Nashville chart-toppers Lady Antebellum. "We've always loved country music," Levine says, "and they brought that necessary twang to it with the lap steels, ambient guitar, and Hillary Scott's pretty country voice." Other highlights include the deeply groovy "Don't Know Much About That," the propulsive "Stutter" ("a great showcase for Adam's voice," Valentine says) and "Misery," which will thrill long-time Maroon 5 fans with its funky guitars and high-stepping melody.
Maroon 5 first hit it big in 2002 with Songs About Jane, which went quadruple platinum and spawned four hit singles: the blockbuster Top 40 No. 1 "This Love," the Top 5 "She Will Be Loved," as well as "Harder to Breathe" and "Sunday Morning." Its success cemented their status as a world-class rock band and led to a 2005 Grammy Award win for "Best New Artist." They followed up Songs About Jane with Acoustic (2004), a collection of unplugged songs, and Live — Friday the 13th (2005), which earned them a second Grammy for "Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocal" for the 2006 live recording of "This Love."
In May 2007, Maroon 5 released It Won't Be Soon Before Long, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart, selling nearly half a million copies its first week of release. The Grammy-nominated album featured several hits, including "If I Never See Your Face Again" and "Makes Me Wonder," which earned Maroon 5 their third Grammy, once again for "Best Pop Performance By A Duo or Group With Vocals." In 2009, they released Call & Response: The Remix Album, an 18-track "mixtape" that featured Pharrell Williams, Mark Ronson, Swizz Beatz, Paul Oakenfold, and many others, putting a new twist on the band's biggest hits. Maroon 5 also collaborated with Rihanna on a Grammy-nominated new version of "If I Never See Your Face Again," which appeared on the re-release of the Barbados-born pop star's 2007 album Good Girl Gone Bad. (Levine has also collaborated with Ying Yang Twins, Kanye West, Alicia Keys, Natasha Bedingfield, and K'naan.)
Along the way, Maroon 5 toured the world, including a sold-out headlining tour of the U.S., during which they partnered with environmental action organization Reverb to reduce their carbon footprint. Known for their commitment to the environment, Maroon 5 also became members of the NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council) and were honored at the 2006 Environmental Media Awards and have pledged both time and energy toward Global Cool, an initiative launched to fight global warming by motivating a billion people worldwide to reduce their personal energy use.
It won't be any different in 2010 when Maroon 5 release Hands All Over, which is as accessible and broadly appealing as anything the band has ever done, including their breakthrough smash Songs About Jane. "Every record should be like our first, that's the way we think about it," Levine says. "We don't ever want to rest on our laurels or get too cozy. We always want to keep aspiring to do our best — and this album captures that."

This was a good concert, and Adam Levine did perform all the hits, but I didn’t like a lot of the improvisational choices he made while singing most of the songs. I also thought the sound quality of Dolby live was also not great. I don’t know why, but their sound system is very muffled and loud.
It was an amazing experience M5 is a wonderful show to watch. Adam is such a great singer, love his showmanship ❤️
I went to see them on July 29th in Vegas and they were outstanding. Played nothing but the hits. Energy was so great. Interaction with the crowd was amazing. I always been a fan since a child but nothing beats seeing them in person.
If you have not seen a concert in Dolbylive put it on your bucket list. Sound is the best I’ve heard. Small enough all seats have a great view. Maroon 5 put on a amazing show singing old hits as well as new Mickey Guyton performed Middle Ground with Adam what a treat.
Adam always delivers his best performace while on stage. It is clear he is a show man and can lead a crowd with his words and with his music, making it always a magical night with Maroon 5.
This show was super personal for me for a number of reasons I took my 60 year old mom and kinda planned on just being there for emotional support and as a sidekick. Little did I know Adam Levine and the rest of Maroon 5 would absolutely rock the house to the point where I even teared up a couple times. I’ve been to a ton of rock shows and this was the best show I’ve seen in a very long time. Words can’t describe what a great time we had. To top it all off I had nose bleed seats and was joking about it with a security guard..,,minutes later they brought me 2 new tickets right by the stage that were worth over 500$ each. Dolby live is a great venue but maroon 5 would be awesome in a park,theater,or auditorium
Front row!!! One of the best shows we’ve ever been too. Adam was actually looking at my wife and singing to her. This was her birthday present and couldn’t have gone over better. Staff and venue were on point!!! Highly recommend show, Dolby live, and Aria hotel. You will NOT be disappointed. Thank you so much for an experience of a lifetime.
i took my son ans sister inlaw and we all had so much fun till next .
We were super excited to see Maroon 5 in Las Vegas but were really disappointed. Any performer can have an off night, but it was obvious that Adam Levine was not excited to be there. Watching back the videos I took, you can see he's not putting any energy into the singing. He opened the show by telling the audience that THEY needed to show some energy (because it was a Wednesday instead of a Friday, he said) but it's not OUR job to energize him. It's the other way around. It's like he was bored with us. I walked away from this show as LESS of a fan.
Best concert ever!! The sound was really great at park mgm!
This was a great show in Vegas! We saw the last run of the residency and it was amazing!! All of my favorites were played and the crowd was awesome! Can’t wait to see them again!
Maroon 5 concert was excellent and the sound quallity on a very high capacity.
Maroon 5 was amazing!! The closing night of their first Las Vegas Residency was one of their best shows ever!! The set list, the lighting, the sound, and most of all the energy flowing from the band to the audience and back was perfect. I’m so glad they’re coming back to Vegas nest year!!
IT was a great show. I just saw Adele the night before to the bar was set to high. Great music, cool lighting, maybe they can talk. interact a bit more. An the music played in the venue before it started was awful Silence would have boon better. If you are paying to hear a band that plays a certain type of music well at least play that genre.
I’ve come to expect a high level of energy and engagement from the artists at the residencies in Las Vegas. I’ve seen Maroon Five many, many times throughout the years. They played their hits, they sounded good….but they did not bring their “A” game and Adam Levine did not bring the energy that I expect from him. He was much more fun when he wore tight pants and ripped off his shirt and sang with abandon. It appeared he was trying to be a crooner and that’s not what I look for from Adam Levine and Maroon Five. For Las Vegas the stage was basic, the artistry basic and the band basic. Overall disappointed.
It was amazing. We never sat down. They had the crowd going. I love Maroon 5.
Went to the show to Celebrate my Wife’s Birthday. We were throughly impressed with the performance by Adam and the Band. They sounded so good it was hard to believe it was a live performance at times. The Dolby theater was also extremely nice and we will be looking to attend other concerts there in the future. Overall this was an amazing experience!
What an awesome concert! Maroon 5 played all of their hits that they could fit into the set list. They even played a couple of cover tunes - Prince and the Bee Gees. Adam Levine was engaging and came into the crowd for a chit chat and a song. The venue was perfect for the concert. The sound and experience was much better than the stadium concerts we’ve been to before
Adam Levine and Maroon 5 were truly Amazing at the DOLBY in Park MGM. The crowd never sat down and Adam truly gave fans an intimate experience by bringing us back to the band's early days together as teenagers and by walking through the crowd and performing "She Will Be Loved"in the audience. High Energy, Fabulous array of hit songs and a great time for everyone!!!
What happens in Vegas should really stay in Vegas but this time absolutely not….. Elvis Las Vegas to set the scene. Hit after hit from Maroon 5’s repertoire with wonderful story telling from how the boys developed a great friendship from their early years to today. An outstanding performance which hit new heights when Adam walked into the audience sang acapella & was shortly joined by his guitarist. Memories forever. Outstanding evening. Thank you!
