I saw her at the Greek in LA!

Nov 24, 2024

This was the greatest ever live performance that I have ever saw, I have been to over 100 concerts in LA. Just incredible, no recording can do her voice justice.

Jan 31, 2022

The concert list is missing Sade's 2001 gigs at the Hollywood Bowl on 22/23rd July ??? I have one of these live gigs recorded on VHS tape and keep meaning to transfer across to new media....imho possibly her best ever live performance and the acoustics are the greatest !
