I apologize if there are already threads regarding individual concerts and/or the tour as a whole. The search function is sort of glitchy on my computer today.

I've read the reviews from nearly every tour stop and the overwhelming consensus is that Sade is amazing. Finally had the opportunity to see for myself last Thursday in St. Louis. The group did not disappoint. Seriously, an incredible, focused, beautiful, performance. Sade (the person) looked gorgeous and her vocals were sublime, as was the band's performance.

The stage was simple and the lighting and use of videos was sophisticated and highlighed the music fantastically.

THIS is how it's done. This is real musicianship, real artistry. No hoopla. Very put-together, very classy. Well worth the money.

I had never seen Sade perform live and was surprised to see how well the intimate music translated to larger venues. Sade (again, the person), looks unreal for 52 and I have even more respect for her as a singer after seeing her live. She's not a vocal acrobat and her range isn't huge compared to some other historical singing greats. But, she's on her path. She knows exactly what her strenghts are and she executes with a wonderous, graceful precision And, she did get a chance to scale the heights a couple of times (Is it a Crime, Jezebel, Pearls). Finally, I should note that Sade (the band) is tight and on point and all are fantastic musicians in their own right. Some of Stuart Matthewman's sax solos had the crowd on its feet.

I highly recommend this tour. And, I would love to hear feedback from others who have experienced Sade this summer.

OMG, I saw the previously made tour thread. Again, sorry for starting this then. I'll reply in that one to bump it up.

C3 -- if you post the thread to the prior discussion I'll post in there as well.

Amazing is the word for Sade's 2011 show.

I had doubts as to whether Sade could do an arena show. I've loved Sade (lady and band) for 30 years. But I presumed the band couldn't pull off a big arena show. I was wrong: Theirs was probably the best stage production I've seen in any arena venue. They were as darn near close to perfect as they could get, and well exceeded my expectations. The band sounded every bit as polished as they do on the albums. Stuart Matthewman was monumental.

But the night was all about Miss Adu. Beautiful, graceful, soulful, fun . . . and a great singer to boot.
