Just can't get enough of Sade. We seen Sade in Anaheim and Las Vegas. The only DIVA.. No style, no voice, no moves out there like hers. Sade is the only performer I'll pay to see twice or three times if I can afford it.

This event was absolutely phenomenal. She's my favorite artist of all time, and a senior of my generation. I never thought that I'd get the chance to see her perform live in concert. The most I've ever known to admire was through her videos via Youtube and DVD's. She was just as amazing and held that fire on stage, in her 50's just as she did in her video's in her very early days. Sade, you truly are a diamond, thank you for giving me this experience.

I agree with Renegade51, 1000%. I went to her last concert when she was in the US. I was a teenager back then and I saved up for 3 months for that moment. Now I am in my 30's and this time I would like to see 2x's or more. In Fort Lauderdale and in Las Vegas. So you guys know what time it is for me: I am getting ready for this one and this time I am getting ground tickets !!!!!! I cant wait to see her....

Man, at 59 y/o, I have been waiting 10 years for Sade to come back. I'm retired, and willing to fly to any destination to see her. I think I'll grab one of her earlier concerts, maybe in July, 2011, and than grab her a little closer to home maybe in November/December. She's worth a double-take.

It has been 10 years for most, but she never left me... I watch the DVD of Lovers Rock Live every chance I get. To watch Sade and her band, you can't help but notice the togetherness. Its like God united these individuals to perform a steady flow of vocals and instruments to waken the very part of our hearts that only He can sing to. This unity is the vessel used to let us know we are not alone and open our eyes to a better understanding of LOVE. I love Sade and her band and I can't wait to see them play for me again. But this time I am shooting for backstage access!!!!!

My wife was the bigger fan until I saw this beautiful talented woman in concert for myself. I was astonished by the talent displayed. Her recordings cannot match the power of her voice in person. I was blown away and I promised myself that I will NEVER miss another Sade concert tour. Even if you are not a super fan before the show, you will be by the end.

Sade is my favorite singer of all times because of her smooth and unique vocal and story line. She takes you on a journey with her music, that relate to everyday life and experiences. The music is equally appealing with its simple but well but together format and harmony, together they fit like pieces to a puzzle. I prefer her earlier work vs her last release. Yet and still, I remain one of her biggest fans and supporters. I plan to see her in Louisville, Ky if I am able to get tickets.

This show was powerfully sexy to say the least. The dancers and band members collaborated well with the sultry Sade. She puts on a show that makes you want to come back for more. The set list was amazing, she sang beautifully. I wish she would perform more shows often. It seems every 10 years she comes out. The fans that got to experience this show are very fortunate. I recommend if she does do another tour soon, buy tickets. Because it might be awhile before you see this beautiful woman sing again.

I'm still in awe of what I witnessed on August 27. There really aren't any words to describe this show. Amazing just doesn't do it justice! I'm not a big fan of John Legend, but I must admit, he was great in concert. While it may have been 10 years since Sade's last tour, it seemed like it was yesterday! Hands down, she had the best concert I have ever seen (and I've witnessed a lot of shows). I wish I would have attended all three concerts in the Bay Area.

I was treated to a once in a lifetime birthday gift. The concert was simply amazing. John Legend did his thing on stage...crowd pleasing show. To find out that we were the last stop on the World Tour was unforgettable. Sade was beautiful and graceful, so blessed to experirence her and her band live. Bucket list item "check".

Sade was so elegant! It was like she was singing just to you. Her singing was running chills through me. The band was so phenomenal! I would see Sade again and again and again! John Legend was great! He is very entertaining! I think Sade and John Legend compliment each other very well! The show left me wanting more! Simply amazing!

Without comparison from beginning to end, the incomparably beautiful and inimitably talented Sade Adu, showed love in her humility and gratitude to her fans as to her family. Encouraged by the integrity of quality musicianship, and the proven, heartfelt 27-years bond shared among the core members of the band, Sade are a refreshing truth that it is not an inevitably sad reality that survival necessitates selling out to commercialism. Conversely, having not released anything pursuant to the standard of avoiding - not abandoning the commitment to publish superfluously nor frivolously. And going back to 1984, upon the founding of the group in their performance of classics Smooth Operator, Paradise, and Sweetest Taboo, Sade proved well-composed, genuinely written and performed songs do not lose their magically transcendent and piercingly human appeal and relevance to the pain and joy of this existence. An angel given so much and giving so much in turn. There have never been so many people singing joyfully in key, smiling in celebration of the powerful allure of feminine beauty personified perfectly in Sade, an undeniable witness to the evidence of higher power. I would not change a thing, and if I were not cautiously grateful in the awareness that this had been the most wonderfully true and real performance I will see in my lifetime, I would have easily been off from North Carolina to Norfolk, Va. today to see her again. But as her rarity, an opportunity and blessing to see her but once elevates her properly, and makes me thankful to have been there, and eager to wish her well through the tour.

Quite simply, stunning. John Legend was wonderful, and built the crowd to high levels of energy before Sade entered the stage and took us on a journey of passion. My soul glowed a little more brighter, afterward, and I am happy to know that genuinely talented musical artists are 'still alive and soldiering for love' ;)

Sade was as beautiful as she was 20 years ago. the music was mellow. I miss her she is definitely a legend in her own rite the show wasnt 2 long and every song was performed as if it was brand new. John legend was incredible my first time ever really listening to him will definitely follow him.

I can not explain the sensation I got when she first came out! I was there in the same room with this woman. Her music style is her own and it belongs to her but she shares it with us. I was si relaxed and had a nice buzz and enjoyed every moment of this woman. I am thinking about flying to Virginia to see her again. Really trying to squeez it in some where but dont know if it is possible. Thank you Sade and I will be waiting to see you again. Thanks for your music, your lyrics and just the classy woman you are. I needed your lyrics at time and they really pulled me through and help me make some sound decisions. Thank you so very much.

I love Sade and she did not disappoint! The concert was more than I expected. She was so very professional, so giving and interacted with the audience beautifully. She is sultry and sexy and so very normal. It all showed through at the concert. I would love to see her again. I didn't get enough of her. I love her so much. The last time I saw her I took my mother, who also loves her, and that was the last event me and my mom attended before she passed away. Sade reminds me of my mother and I was in heaven at her concert. Way to go Sade! You are the bomb and the concert was so, so good.

Class act!!! My first Sade concert and I hope not my last. Sade's voice is sultry, classy and unique. Her minimal stage effects allowed for the focus to be on her and the band - From the first note to the last, she transported me to a destination - one of tranquility and zen. Her moves - effortless and seductive, yet so mature and again - each move has a destination. So humble and embracing, this concert was worth every dollar spent. It was, to say the least - an experience!

My wife and I had one of our first dates at a Sade concert 10 years ago at the Forum in LA. Since then, we've been to many concerts and have been waiting for Sade to come back. She did not disappoint! She is as beautiful and as sultry as ever! Her voice is like butterscotch, smooth and silky. I did find at times her voice was not as strong as I remembered it, but it could be the world tour fatigue and back to back performances. She did ALL of her amazing hits and the visual effects were stunning. The entire show was breathtaking. I would highly recommend this concert to everyone.

There is a woman in somalia Scraping for pearls on the roadside There's a force stronger than nature Keeps her will alive That's how she's dying She's dying to survive Don't know what she's made of I would like to be that brave She cries to the heaven above There is a stone in my heart She lives a life she didn't choose And it hurts like brand-new shoes Hurts like brand-new shoes There is a woman in somalia The sun gives her no mercy The same sky we lay under Burns her to the bone Long as afternoon shaddows It's gonna take her to get home Each grain carefully wrapped up Pearls for her little girl Hallelujah Hallelujah She cries to the heaven above There is a stone in my heart She lives a life she didn't choose And it hurts like brand-new shoes

in addition to the great music the set was very dramatic looking and sensual. Not over done but fit the music perfectly. During several great songs, a sheet like curtain comes down in front and on the side of the stage showing a sensual video background, but, you can see Sade through/behind the sheet as she sings and she blends into the video. Very impressive. The band also really jams tight. Cherish the Day was a great encore-as the song went on, Sade rose up slowly on a small pedestal she was standing on to about 30ft in the air to end the song.

I almost missed the concert, I invited a friend and I had to pick her up a large amount of travel time in getting to arena, we were both rewarded for our effort, I have never seen either artists in person before, I do not have music from John legend, that will change, I have many tracks from Sade, the atmosphere was electric, the acoustics were right on, the stage graphics, lighting, and special effects were perfect. Sade performed so many songs, enough for 2 or 3 albums... amazing, a professional at changing outfits, love her evening gown the best. The video footage was very impressive, her musicians and dancers were just as awesome, my only regret is that I did not here "Maureen", anyway Sade was extraordinary, I will be bragging about this night for long time, thank you for the production.

FABULOUS show. Superior musicianship and vocals by Sade and John Legend. John Legend performs for an hour, Sade for two. There was a 45-50 minute wait between them. Well worth the ticket price. A must see. By far the most expensive concert ticket I have ever purchased. And worth the price, especially since Sade tours so rarely. I missed the last tour 10 years ago and didn't want to miss this one.

Very good concert, her band is amazing. Thought it was interesting what they did with the stage theatrics. Sade isn't much for movement or dance sequences, so they compensated by doing elaborate things with lights, video, and camera work that kept your attention. Relaxing concert that i wish I had seats where I could of stood up more and danced.

From the opening song 'Soldier of Love' to the final encore ('Cherish the Day'), this concert was pure bliss! I'll call it 'medicine for the soul'. It couldn't have been any better unless Sade had walked off the stage and sang to me directly. Some artists sound better on their CD/Album, but SADE sounds as good if not better when she sings live and in-person. She hasn't missed a beat in almost 30 years of singing the most soulful, sexy, sensual music in the genre; her voice is as strong now as it was 25+ years ago and she doesn't appear to be slowing down at all. The song selection was excellent, with several tracks from the new album but most of the show was made up of her all-time classic hits, which is what made me and my wife happy! I would recommend this event to even the most casual fan of SADE and her music. If you go and see her perform live, you won't be a 'casual' fan any longer, I promise! She might not be back for another 10+ years, so get your tickets now and see her while you can! You will NOT be disappointed!

This was a dream come true! John Legend was fun and engaging! He brought up a woman from the audience to dance with him. Everyone was singing. Then Sade came out and the house went wild!! It was more than I could've hoped for. Her voice, the staging and the band!! Everything was incredible! Years pass and Sade stays the same; beautiful, welcoming, sexy with the voice of a gentle breeze. If you know any of her songs (even if its only 2) you should see this concert!

This concert was one of the top three concerts I have ever been too. John was wonderful and Sade was amazing. The woman is flawless...still and she sounds even better than any cd she has out. I think every artist should see her show at least once to see how a real concert should go:) been on cloud nine ever since.

This was the very first time my sister and I saw Sade in concert, and we weren't gonna miss it since she rarely tours. I have been a fan of hers every since I heard Smooth Operator in the mid-1980's, and that was when I was in the sixth grade! This was an incredible show from start to finish, and there was not one thing that I didn't like about it. It was so well-organized and put together, and out of all the shows that I've been to ever since I've been going to shows since the 1980's, this has got to be the best show that I've ever been to. Sade is even more beautiful in person, and sounds just as good. She could feel the Vegas Vibe of the crowd because we were a wild bunch last night, and considering that her music is smooth, jazzy, and soulful, we were definitely more wild and upbeat! We even had her laughing and smiling and she said, "Viva, Las Vegas!" She also thanked us more than once for coming out to see her- I wasn't gonna miss it! Her show was like no other from one scene after another. Everything just flowed so smoothly, even through her four waredrobe changes. I loved the scenes where the clear screens came down all around her and it looked like she was right in the middle of the natural elements of the earth which was water, fire, and wintery scenes- just beautiful! The city scenes were awesome as well, especially at the end with the black/white contrasting with her gorgeous red outfit! This show is a MUST-SEE for anyone who is a true Sade fan, or anyone who just enjoys a great show and great music. This was not just a show, this was a production! Please come back soon, Queen Sade! We love you!

Sade is the real deal.... AMAZING! Concert was 4 hours long. John Legend was amazing. Even more amazing was SADE..... At times you felt like you are watching a music video, then sometimes a relaxing Caribbean festival. Most of all, the audience reacted positively to every costume change and visual display. Definitively a repeat.... definitively one of my top 10 of all time.

I have never really been a diehard fan, but have always liked her music. Last Wednesday I sat center stage, row 13 and was not prepared for what I was about to experience. Some people are famous and a very very rare few have greatness. That lady commands such presence, it made me feel like I was watching a historic event I was in such awe. I lack the words to express how special this lady is and how beauty exudes from her very soul. If you get a chance to see Sade in concert, it is something you will remember for the rest of your life. I am so thankful I got the opportunity to see and hear something so beautiful.

Sade was amazing and classy, sound was much better for her than for the opening act however still not 100% perfect at where I was located. She was just amazing as well as her band! Extraordinary talents!!!! And not bad to look at them either they make a pleasant stage not like in the opening act had to look at overweight musicians I ma surprised that none of them got a heart attack on the stage!!! Many drunk couples made out in front of me disturbing view! Sade had amazing projections on the stage and also the lighting effects were great!!!! No wonder she is an étalon no one can repeat it since she is Sade there is no one with a style like this!!

After waiting for a decade for her return, we were once again blown away by the incomparable Sade. Her voice, her band, the staging and set - simply awesome. There is no one in the world like her, and while there was no flash and glitz in the production, this show was by far the best one I've ever seen.

John Legend opened up with a rendition of Adele's Rolling in the Deep, he was great! He sang a new song, Dreams, that I really enjoyed. Our 3rd row center seats had us able to see every facial expression, he was amazing. When Sade came out, I almost lost my mind. She is the soundtrack of my life and besides Jesus coming down and giving a concert, I can't imagine a better evening than the one I experienced. Her beauty, her voice, her movement, her band, all PERFECTION! She is ALWAYS worth the wait and worth EVERY penny I spent! I will never forget this night!

Like most , bought my tickets a year ago . She played on my birthday , Aug. 27 , and it was the best birthday ever !!!! The concert was flawless ! As beautiful and talented as she was , her band was equally excellent . My boyfriend was blown away by them , and he has never really listened to that style of music , more of a Stones guy . But he went on and on about the guitar and rest of her band . It was So great !! And , really , Everyone was singing along , just thousands of us , so in love with her , and the moment . Wish I could have gone both nights !

The Sade tour comes with my highest recommendation! She hasn't lost a beat, nor has her original band. The concert was literally an experience of a lifetime. This was my 2nd Sade concert and I'm glad I was once again blessed with the opportunity to see her live. I can't recall a concert where the artist sounded just as great as the studio recording pressed on the CD, perhaps even better. Sade takes her fans through an unforgettable tour of all her classics and latest releases. Her voice, her music, and her love for her fans is legendary. You will not be disappointed, and will leave the concert with a total refreshment of the soul.

Very satisfied with the concert! My only complaint, John wasn't on long enough. But with 2 artists performing, I can't complain.

This is one of the very best concerts I have ever been to, and I have been going to concerts since 1975. Sade, is intoxicating from start to finish, and her band stands out in their own right. You could put them on a street corner and they would be fantastic, but the staging, light etc. are fantastic as well. THIS IS A MUST SEE CONCERT!

Didn't really know what to expect..but was left totally satisfied and thrilled. John Legend was the right person to lead into the Sade Extravaganza. His band was great and music tight, but show mainly for the ladies. Sade, on the other hand, was as elegant and seamlessly smooth as she moved from one song to another. She is simply the best at what she does. Her trademark sound was on showcase and her band was better than any CD they've ever recorded...Put a fork in me..I'm done.

Sade is Amazing! This concert was by far her best! After seeing her throughout the years and waiting for this one to come was soooo worth the wait! Anyone who has seen her before will totally see what I am talking about. And for those who have missed the bus on her....what are you waiting for? She is the one to see! Her show is very theatrical in presentation, very colorful and very smooth overall. This was the original 1st show to go on sale for Oakland, California and wound up being the second night of two sold out shows. She did recognize us as the 1st and that was cool! She gave big props to everyone involved that does her show and she gave us the people the love too! Hope to see this as a Concert DVD in the future, it will be a MUST to buy and part of my collection of her library. Thank you Sade,.....

Saw Prince at the same venue earlier this year. I know if might be hard to believe but Sade is such an amazing performer she had more people on their feet than Prince. Probably more PDA in the seats too. Nobody touches her show in terms of sensual. The stage was beautiful - use of flowing curtains and visuals ranged from very cool to moody ... in a good way. As she moved through her set you couldn't help but think, "wow, I forgot about this song, each on better than the next" She came out in all red for the encore and performed, slow, soft moves while elevated on a 10 foot high podium. Amazing. Her tribute to her band members as the conclusion was equally moving. Great show, go see her. Ticket prices UGH!!!

SADE 2011 tour at Oracle Arena what an awesome night and what an incredible ARTIST SADE is. I hope it doesn't take her another 10 years to tour. She's too incredible not to come back. Crowd was in awe, show so peaceful and beautiful. The visual effects and SADE sounded incredible. Recommend EVERYONE see this show if you are a SADE fan, you will not be disappointed, this is a MUST SEE.

Watching Sade and John Legend was an amazing experience I will never forget! Easily one of the best if not the best concert I have been to. Sade's voice is incredible, and her band sounded phenomenal. I love the use of the numerous moving cameras that captured different angles of the stage and the performance, and it was shown on the big screens so that each song looked like a music video. I hope she doesn't let another ten years go by before she visits us in San Diego again.

Sade is still as beautiful and talented as ever. I have been a fan for 25 years and seeing her Live was a dream come true. I was blown away by her performance! The visual set projections were amazing, her timing was perfect and the way she interacted with her band - complete with special tributes and a curtsy to each one - at the end of the show was moving. Her new music is contemporary and hot! She is one class act. I was almost as excited to see John Legend and - while I do appreciate his music - I wasn't as impressed with his performance. The sound quality was loud with bass and his song selections seemed to blur together. I did love his energy and piano. His back-up vocalists didn't seem to fit but were fun to watch.

A truly rare treat to see an amazing artist! She was in fine form, singing a great mix of all of her classics mixed with her newer stuff. She looked beautiful and the sets/lighting complimented the performance but didn't get in the way like with artists who over-produce their shows. I wanted this concert to never end!

I attended the Sade concert and had the best time of my life. Sade was in rare form and had an excellent performance. The crowd was in awe that she was in better than years ago with stage performance and connection to her fans. She looked gorgeous and provided her fans with her best. She sang all of my favorites and did not shortchange her fans with a short concert. She really gave her all. I love Sade and hopes she comes back to Chicago. I highly recommend that you see her in concert. If I known it was going to be this good, I would have also purchased the night before concert tickets. John Legend was also very good. Love him also!

This concert was amazing, john legend opened with a bang and got the crowd all ready and then sade came out and proved why she has been in this business as long as she has. She is a true performer and her band is wonderful the seats were just right and its something we will remember always!!!

I've always been a huge fan and if it's even possible, I'm an even bigger fan now. Sade is timeless. I'm also a big John Legend fan... love seeing him in concert. Best show I've ever been to, hands down. The only thing I would have done different is had John Legend play just a bit more.

As a long time Sade fan, this was my first time seeing her live and she was superb. Sitting second row made it even better. I don't what she does to keep herself in shape, but she still looks as beautiful as ever. Love is stronger than pride is my favorite song and I thought that would be my favorite of the night, but Sade stole the show with Is it a Crime (Phenomenal performance). Sade sounds better in person than listening to her cd's, and that's not the case with a lot of artist. The band was exceptional as well. John Legend also was a great opening act. Highly Recommended! I hope to see Sade again live in the future.

OMG...it was sooo much more than could have ever been expected. John Legend was the perfect complement to Sade. I "liked" him before, and I'm IN LOVE with him now. His artistry is impeccable, and his music is phenomenal LIVE. Sade is a true artist who is just stunning to WATCH. She was very grateful to fans for sticking by her all these years and supporting her during her absence. It was a very personal, heartfelt performance that was visually stunning and at one point, she sat at the edge of the stage and sang Jezebel. You could practically hear a pin drop. Her set up to play the crowd favorites such as "Sweetest Taboo" and "Nothing Can Come Between Us" was amazing. It was like a much needed visit to see your favorite relative after a long absence. I can't explain what it was like to see her come out on stage the first time (she did "Soldier of Love" and the crowd went NUTS)! It was worth every penny. I would pay it again and even more in a heartbeat! If you miss this, it's truly a loss because it was HANDS DOWN the concert of the millenium!!!

I have always loved her music, but seeing her live is something I will never forget. She was awesome, classy, and elegant. John Legend was the perfect opening act for her performance. I look forward to her next tour.

Wow!!! Sade looked and sounded great. I've been blessed to see her twice; would definitely go again. My only squabble was the pace of the show; the pauses/delay between changes could have been shorter.

This show was amazing. Despite the fact that Nashville doesn't sell out anything that is NOT country, this show was spectacular. The pairing of John Legend and Sade was certainly a good choice. While I am not a Legend fan, I could appreciate some of his music and the reason for the pairing. He was a nice choice to warm up the crowd, although I did find the set, specifically, the backup singers attire questionable and off-putting. That aside, I was there to see Sade and they put on a show. The graphics, music, her voice, stunning. She's 52, has been around for over 20 years and still moved the crowd with soothing and seductive lyrics as well as with a stage show and presence that is incomparable.

I have waited over 25 years to see Sade Live. It was without a doubt the greatest concert I have ever seen. The entire arena was crackling with the power of the sun. Sade's voice was fierce and powerful...yet soft and soothing as well. Sade's band mates were unforgettable. I had the pleasure of meeting Paul Denman and Stuart Matthewman in a small courtyard not far from the arena too. To Paul and Stuart: Thank you for being so nice to me it was a pleasure to meet you both!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If there is one concert in this lifetime to see this is the one. Rock the planet Sade, Rock the planet. William S.

Sade is a very elegant entertainer. She took a lot of time appreciating her fans. It was a wonderfully diverse audience. The song selection was perfect. She covered all of her great hits and just enough new material. She is a stunning beauty yet she stepped out of the spotlight on several occasions so her band members could be featured in the set. I was particularly impressed with the stage imagery. The background videos, including black and white silouettes, were a really nice compliment to the live performances. I also think that John was an appropriate opening act for Sade. This was an awesome show.

Awesome vocals and musicians......of course. (Lenny Kravitz was present & HE should have been nervous) True to the original recordings down to every drum lick & cabasa stroke. Incredible visuals on back screen and see thru curtain.

I love Sade! I am a big fan and had a blast! I didn't want to sit down! She didn't sing Cherish the Day, but she made up for it with MAD Visuals! I thought I was watching a movie with the visual effects she created! Just Amazing folks!

I am so fortunate to have seen Sade! I was so impressed on the musicianship & also her humbleness. She never once took focus off the band & made an effort to introduce each & every one at the end of the show. Make sure you stick around...she might just do an encore. Many people, including myself, were leaving & I heard them start to play again. Her voice sounds exactly like on her cd's back in the 80's. She defines sexy. I couldn't take my eyes off her! What a true lady. The visual effects were outstanding. That alone made the show stand out. Don't miss it! You'll be glad you went. :)
