Summary: I love Sade
Review: There are three Sade DVDs, I own them all, and this one is the best. One of the three is a collection of her videos and though they are well done, there is just nothing like watching an artist--especially someone as talented and emotive as Sade--perform her songs live; it adds another dimension to the experience. It is strange that her music is very different than the music that I like, but yet it still appeals to me. I can't even classify her music; there are a lot of musical genres but there is just one Sade.

Summary: Sensational
Review: Thanks to all the reviewers. You helped me decide on this purchase. I had been leaning towards the 2002 Lovers Live concert but many reviewers who have seen both say the 1993 concert (this DVD) was more energetic.I thought the concert was hypnotic. Sade's graceful, floating, rhythmic body language was intriguing. The 5.1 sound mix is amazing good. It is clear and strong with good bass. I had not expected it to be as good as it is since the concert dates back to 1993. But the sound is great! The image quality is good when showing Sade in the spotlight. The quality drops to "blurry" when showing Sade out of the spotlight or when showing band members. This all boils down to the lighting. The lighting was probably fine for the audience but could have been better for making this DVD.

Summary: Musical Shangri-la
Review: This live San Diego concert is indeed "Paradise" and not to be missed by any real Sade fan. I've had this since it came out and watch it at least once a year. You can just feel the excitement of being there in this lavishly produced concert film that brings both the music and the unique relationship of Sade to her loyal fans to the forefront. It is a performance bare of costume changes and pyrotechnics, as it is just about the music we love. Sade has never been lovelier and her vocals are surrounded by bass, horns, and precussion from fine jazz musicians like horn player Rick Braun. There is an intimate feel here, the larger venue not distracting from the small jazz club flavor always created by Sade and her marvelous band. You get seventeen songs here and yet your sorry it's not longer, something you rarely feel when a concert film is over. It is worth noting that this band has stayed together during years of absence by Sade herself, an integrity and loyalty displayed in a business without any. But this is artistry and not business for Sade and her band, their loyalty a testement to both Sade and themselves. It is the same kind of relationship she has with her fans. Fans may cheer and go crazy as they are treated to one great song after another but there is also respect here. Late in the concert Sade leans down and accepts roses from a fan. No one tries to rush the stage and grab her and she gives the fan a gentle kiss as a thank you, in a day and age where your not suppose to. That, is Sade Adu. There is a particularly intimate moment where Sade sets down and talks briefly about a personal encounter with a man in a New York bar. He told her his story of love and war which became the haunting "Like a Tattoo", a song included on her "Love Deluxe" album. "This is his story", she tells us before beginning. It is a nice moment. Exotic rhythms take you from sandy shores to romantic nightclubs and the overall feel of this concert is a happy one. If you don't own this you'll want to go back and pick it up. All the songs are here and it is a wonderful reminder of why we love Sade, and how much she loves us back.

Summary: Sade Live
Review: For those who are die-hard Sade fans this is a absolute must for your collection. For anyone who is a fan of utter extreme musical talent and stunning beauty, well this one is for you too. No matter what venue she chooses to perform in she brings a class and quality to her shows that stands alone in the jazz community. If you have never seen Sade in concert, then this DVD is just like being there! Old classic tunes like "The Sweetest Taboo","Smooth Operator"and"Stronger Than Pride" are all brought to life within this fantastic collection. Sade also shows the tremendous chemistry she shares with her back-up group, and she provides the artists ample time to showcase their talents. Sade's background group goes by the name of "Sweetback", they recorded a solo project a few years back that is also a must for Jazz fans. Bottom line, splendid offering, buy it as soon as you can

Summary: Wow....what a voice...what a band
Review: Without a doubt this and her new Lover's Rock are two of the best live DVDs you will ever find. The reason?? Well..besides one of the best perfomers as well as an amazing looking woman, she has one of the best, tightest bands you will ever hear. They are so tight and together that each song just amazing. I love Sade and this is one I take out of my DVD collection time after time.

Summary: THIS GIRL IS TIGHT!!!!
Review: Having been a musician for over 25 years I can say with some authority that this is one of the tightest bands I have ever heard! Having listened to every note with enthusiasm and the way each player complemented each other as a group was not only a musical experience but a demonstration of the impossible. Needless to say, Sade was brilliant as well as every man's fantasy. No need to wonder if she loves as well as she sings!

Summary: really smooth...
Review: This is one of the classiest live performances I have ever seen. Sade is the epitome' of talent and beauty. This concert is exquisitely filmed and the sound quality is phenom. I didn't see this tour in person {regretfully!} but at least I can experience this incredible performance time and again. For a quiet evening of Sade bliss, you can't get any better than this. Plus, watching Sade's midriff is hypnotic. What an incredible band she has assembled here. Drums and bass are killer.

Summary: The better DVD of the 2 that's out........
Review: I purchased both (Sade - Live Concert & Sade - Life Promise Pride Love) at a local store that was advertising them as a package deal. This is the closest I've come to seeing her live. She came to the ATL with India.Arie but I wasn't available to attend. I own the live CD version of this concert, but this is much better to see her and Sweatback perform. Sade's style is more suggestive than hypnotic but still she's maintained her popularity among the contemporary audiences. She became an instant sensation through such songs as "Smooth Operator" and "Your Love Is King," where the slick production and quasi-jazz backing add a defining meaning to her sound. The delightful addition to this DVD is its 5.1 Dolby Digital sound. I've purchased many concert DVD's and they're all sitting somewhere collecting dust. This one is played everytime I want to hear Sade. I saw the advertisment for her new DVD "Sade - Lovers Live", I'll be on top of that one on the release date. oNe
