Sade: Lovers Live (2002)
Sade fans may experience a range of emotions while watching the first-rate Lovers Live, but one thing they won't feel is shortchanged--not with nearly two hours of concert footage, 22 songs (including almost all of her Lovers Rock album), and DVD bonus features galore. That sultry, soulful Sade sound is in full effect throughout the concert (filmed at two Southern California locations in 2001), brought to life by a capable band, some superbly evocative visuals and sound effects, and, of course, the singer herself. The show is dramatic, but never overly theatrical; best of all, Sade, while perhaps not the world's greatest performer, is an adult--you'll find no pop-princess posing here. Of the nine songs from Lovers Rock, "Slave Song" and "Immigrant" are especially moving, revealing that Sade added some new flavors to her sound during her protracted layoff from performing. This show is pure Sade--and that's a good thing.

You won't be disappointed!
This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Hi all fans of Sade, If you like her music, this is a MUST SEE! It's live and you get to see her in concert as if you were REALLY THERE! Words can't explain how her music dazzles people from all over! Yes, she is the headliner but the BAND!!! The camera work, the special effects in background, the lighting, and especially the camera work showing the BAND and the BACKGROUND SINGERS! OH, it's so special.There is one song where one of the background singers starts this little step and, I swear, whenever I hear it and see him doing the step, my feet move right along with his! She give a tribute to her father, I think. It will make you really wonder about what is was like traveling over the Atlantic from Africa to the U.S. during either slavery times or just migrating after slavery was abolished. The upheaval of the ocean in the background while her haunting voice and outstanding BAND plays will give you goosebumps. There are moving pictures of "brothers" on a ship coming to America. I'm not sure if one of them was her father but there is one person they tend to show more than others. That could be him.And right when you think the concert is over! Don't turn it off! She comes back out, hair down, in pants, and looks absolutely beautiful! Check it out and I know you'll agree with me that this is one of best concert videos of all time!!! Make sure you listen to the concert-goers at the end! There comments make that concert that much more special!!!
