Summary: Just Like Most Recent Concert
Review: I just saw the Sade Live Concert in LA which was amazing(parking sucked though). This live concert was as good showing how amazing and tried and true she is. Sade's voice is amazing live; not much difference than studio produced sound. This DVD has all the great songs of Sade from her first few albums. If you like Sade, I highly recommend this concert. Only thing that wasn't as great was the picture quality; they could have done a better job with higher quality filming

Summary: Sexy Sade
Review: For all Sade fans, this is a must! However, the actual DVD (seems like VHS as opposed to watching a DVD) is lacking in the quality you might see in other DVD concerts such as Madonna, Janet, Santana, etc. This is the only reason the rating is less than 5 stars. But if you can look past that, it will bring back memories of seeing her in concert. Her sensual moves and distinct voice transcend the average quality of the recording. Also, her band is second to none! For all of you who know and enjoy Sade, you know that Sade is more than one person. It is a band first and foremost. You get a feel for the type of relationship the bandmembers have and it only adds to the enjoyment of this disc. You will not be disappointed!

Summary: Sensational Sade!
Review: The smooth, sexy, and sultry voice of Sade, as well as her beauty and grace are well captured in Sade Live. It includes several songs from her earlier works, through the early 90s. The cinematography, lighting, and choreography of the concert are superbly represented in this high quality video. Sade Live is a must have for all avid Sade fans and worshippers!!

Summary: YES is live just superbly recorded
Review: I want to address the misnomers about this DVD particularly those reviewers who think this is a "dubbed" concert. You can tell by watching the musicians matching up with the music (watch the guitarist!) and the ad libs of Sade - PLUS the songs ARE differenet from the CDs. It is just very well recorded and because it is probably directly from the soundboard.

Summary: Perfect music, nice video, but NOT live!
Review: The music is really great! My Sade collection is large, and I know all the songs that are on the disc, but it's really special to hear the songs in a little different setting. The other artists are playing and singing very very nice (with some of the best live basslines and drumbeats I've heard) and the whole video I've been listening with much joy!The pictures are great. The performance is good. The stage is very nice, and Sade is ofcourse really beautifull. Camerawork is also done very good, not zooming in to maximum on the singers face (like most other music videos do: you can't see anything at all from the rest). BUT (like b3fan also said): this is NOT a live performance. All singing has been dubbed in the studio, and what you hear is NOT the live music recording. What's especially anoying is that almost NOWHERE the sound is in sync with the video. I'd like to ask Sony (their production) to treat their customers with a little more respect! It's like watching a cartoon! Lips are never in sync there either! Conclusion: If you want a real live performance really don't buy this video. In all other cases BUY this video! The music is perfect, and in spite of the studio-dubbing-that-isnt-lipsync-at-all-failure I really wouldn't want to miss this disc from my collection!

Summary: An Evening with THE Smooth Operator
Review: A stunning performance from this incredible performer and band. You are missing out on everything Sade has to offer if you have only heard her music. She, and her band, will have you mesmerized for this entire concert (filmed in San Diego in 1993). Incredible as she is when the concert starts, she only seems to gain energy as she progresses through her greatest hits, my favorite performance being Is It A Crime. The only hit this DVD lacks is Never as Good As The First Time which in my opinion would have made a better second encore then Jezebel. Although, Jezebel is an excellent showcase for the wonderful musicians Sade has surrounding her. So turn down the lights, open a bottle of wine, grab your significant other and head to the couch for an evening ...

Summary: Everything a concert (video) should be!!!!!
Review: Sade Live is an incredible collection of Sade hits collected into one concert video. Filmed in 1994, the video includes all of her hits with the exception of "Never as good as the first time". In fact, the concert DVD has almost the same songs as Sade's greatest hits CD. Before purchasing this DVD I was not too familiar with Sade's music. I basically knew four or five top-ten hits from the 80's and very little beyond that. Since purchasing the DVD I have really come to appreciate the beauty in songs like "Cherish" and "Kiss of Life". One of the most appealing aspects of this DVD is being able to observe the band doing what they do best....playing live. The band members are all multi-talented musicians with several of them switching instruments between and even during songs. The interaction between the band members seems real and spontaneous and they seem to be having a great time. One scene where Sade is interacting with an audience member is actually more memorable due to her bandmates' reactions than to her actions with the fan. Another selling point is Helen Folasade Adu herself. Having seen a few promotional photos I knew her to be an extremely attractive person but I was not prepared for the reality. She is one of the most beautiful and sensual performers I have ever seen. The emotion and intensity she puts into her singing and onstage movements still has me captivated....even after watching the video countless times. The only real criticism I have of the DVD is that aside from a written biography (very short!) there are absolutely no DVD extras! I've gotten used to DVD's having bonus footage, interviews, "making of" documentaries, etc.. but this one is sadly lacking in that area. In spite of that, this is an incredible DVD and anyone who even remotely likes Sade and watching live performances should purchase it.

Summary: Her smooth melodic voice will sway you
Review: Electrifying, powerful, smooth, sentimental and just absolutely the best concert video you will ever own. Sade's distinct style, grace and eloquence is such a beautiful experience as you view this concert video. The band is so riveting and as you will be captivated by their unique rhythm and accentuation.------- My mere words do not even come close in expressing the solace that Sade shares as her melodic songs place you in a hypnotic trance.
