What a show...what a awesome night! I will never forget the first Sade Concert I went to. It was the first concert I attended with my big bro Alfred. I was about 15 and Sade had just released The Love Deluxe album. From the moment she walked on stage and sang "Sweetest Taboo" I was mesmerized! I not only already knew all the songs on the Love Deluxe album, I went home that night and filled my ears with all her past albums. Many, many years later...I still admire her now just as much as I did almost 20 years ago. 20 years ago was my first Sade experience, and this year Sarah had her very first Sade experience!!
Sade's show was everything I was anticipating...awesome set, awesome back ground visuals, but most of all what an awesome band and voice! As many times I've seen her live, this time around she sounded better than ever before. Her voice sounded full of strength, love, and compassion. She was golden! Every song she sang I sang right along with her. Her band was amazing! Most of them have been with her since the very beginning...and you can feel the close family vibe they share on stage....amazing musicians!
As the show ended...I was left wanting more, wanting to hear more songs to sing along to, more hits to dance too...It wasn't enough..I needed more and from the looks and sound of the crowd, they all felt the same as I did. But like I said, this was an amazing night of music...John Legend as an opener was great! But nothing compares to the awesomeness of Sade!
What made this night more special, was sharing it with my friends and family in the audience, although we didn't all sit together..we all shared the same experience! One I won't ever forget! So cheers to Tina, Josh, Sarah Joy, Nes, Chris, Frank, Claire, Carla, Connie, Liza, Gino, Tootie, Cliff, Archie, Alfred, Karla, Joe and Janice! Hope you all had a great time!!
