Sade -Bring Me Home - Live 2011 [DVD] [2012]

I very rarely buy DVD/Blu Ray music videos because they don't add a great deal to the music, if you ask me. However, last year I had seats at the O2 to watch Sade from just a few rows from the front. And that live show was amazing.So I bought this on Blu Ray to see if it was a reminder of that great show in London (even though this was filmed at one of the US legs of the tour). And I can honestly say it's a fantastic music video. It really does add a lot to the music. The visuals were great and seeing Sade perform up-close really does take you to the moment.Picture quality is excellent on this Blu Ray disc and the surround sound really does make you feel like you're at the gig.All in all, for the price, I'd say this was excellent value for money (I think I paid several hundred for the gig last year to be that close - and this is even closer, as you'd expect!) and a real pleasure to watch from start to finish.What a singer, what a band.

This CD/DVD of Sade's 2011 tour is absolutely stunning. Having witnessed the concert live in London at the O2 Arena in May 2011, I was delighted that there was to be a package to remember one of the most amazing concerts I have been to. Clearly not much more needs to be said about the singer's beauty or talent, they totally speak for themselves, and have been evident throughout a long and enduring career. This show was visually stunning, the band so tight, and of course Sade's presence and delivery, second to none. My single criticsm is that 'Pearls' does not feature on the audio CD, this being the absolute highlight for me of the show, moving and utterly perfect. Mind you there are plenty of other amazing performances featured on the audio CD, but certainly it is the DVD which captures the essence and brilliance of the tour.In a nutshell, a record of one of the best live shows I have ever scene, an absolute must for any collection, and certainly for all Sade fans, a must have.

One of the best concerts in my blu-ray collection. Sade is magical, and she manages to convey that on stage as well. high quality picture and sound adorn this edition. every house should own this edition, because it invigorates the soul.

Sade has always oozed class amd sophistication that other female singers cannot possibly replicate,her voice ts crystal clear and unmistakeable and on this CD/DVD she proves her point,the DVD,which was filmed in Canada features;Soldier of love/Your love is king/Skin/Kiss of life/Love is found/In another time/Smooth operator/Jezebel/Bring me home/Isit acrime/Love is stronger than pride/All about our love/Paradise/Nothing can come between us/Morning bird/King of sorrow/The sweetest taboo/The moon and the sky/Pearls/No ordinary love/By your side/Cherish the dsy/How do you say thank you/The trenches/ 4 Secondsa nd is the whole concert.The CD h as edited highlights."Soldier of love"starts of the CD with an air raid siren,veery Pink Floydish,then Sade appears very dramatic,great backing on this track."Skin"is amore restful tune,more suited to her voice,than the previous track,lovely guiar work on this."Kiss of life"more smooth as silk singing ,first class."Love is found"a beautifully arranged song,that suits her voice well,the backing is superb,there is a slight eastern influence to this."In another time" this is a slow blues,Sade style!"Jezebel" was always a favourite of mine,this version is excellent."All about our love"a shorter,more upbaet song."Paradise"helicopter effects propel this upbeat song that morphs into"Nothing can come between us""Morning bird"a lovely song with a great introduction"The moon and the sky"again a beautiful guitar and synthesizer introduction,very good indeed."No ordinary love"again another favourite from days gone by."By your side"how many more great songs do they have?"Cherish the day"finishes the album in the perfect way!!Great songs,great DVD, great CD,great singer,great band!DVD.....2 31 54CD.....1 O7 20SADE ADU.....VOCALSSTUART MATHEWMAN.....GUITAR,SAXOPHONEANDREW HALE.....KEYBOARDSPAULS.DENMAN.....BASSLEROY OSBOURNE.....VOCALS,GUITARTONY MOMRELLE.....VOCALSPETE LEWINSON.....DRUMSRYAN WATERS.....GUITARKARL VANDEN BOSSCHE.....PERCUSSIONSOPHIE MULLER.....FILM MAKERRELEASED IN 2012EPIC/RCA

Without any doubt, the very best 'Live Concert' production I've ever seen ! Throughout my life I have seen hundreds of concerts, both live and on DVD, but I honestly have to admit, that this concert was so professional on every level, that there's just no comparison. Sade herself is the epitome of perfection, as is the band. The sound and film, is absolutely flawless and the production, just plain awesome ! If I would ever recommend a DVD concert of pure perfection, it would have to be this one.Bravo Sade, bravo Production ! Finally a full length enjoyable concert DVD, from the first second to the last. I just wished they would all be like this, but I guess, that would be wishful thinking !

I enjoy watching this concert by Sade, both she and her backing band are excellent and perform all of her well known material to a very high standard. Visually very stylish, the use of back projection and clever use of lighting helps to support the songs being performed. I personally find some of her more recent material less enjoyable than her earlier output, but this of course is purely subjective. A very stylish and cool concert and a great purchase for anyone who enjoys watching music concerts and highly recommended for all fans of Sade!
