Did you know that her band is so loyal because she shares her $$ from their concerts equally between all! Who else does that? She’s cool, man. To equally acknowledge her talented musicians!
They also wrote most of the music so i think it's exactly how it should be. Don't act like she's doing them a favor. They gave her the opportunity to sing. They were already a great band. Thank you...
@@Eric-yd2rw Yeah, and a front-person getting more popular than the band and big-timing them almost never happens in pop music. Band or not, she could have flipped them off thirty years ago and gone on without missing a beat…so I guess she’s the loyal one then. Still, she must inspire some loyalty …because every one of those dudes looks at her like they’d crawl across fire and broken glass just to be there…can’t say as I blame them.
The original version of "Love is Stronger Than Pride" is so powerful, haunting yet beautiful. Such a perfect song to open the "Stronger Than Pride" album (1988). However, this live version is just EXTRA BEAUTIFUL! Wrapped in a soft reggae and yet still groovy. Always love watching this version over and over. Too bad they do not release an official audio format of this!
You can say that again. Sade is a masterclass in Artistic integrity, singing, musicianship, performance. Effortless grace and beauty. She is literally the total package and there will never be another like her❤
Underrated would imply that the career of this musical act had ended ages ago and people are rediscovering them now. Sade is one of the longest running performing acts in a long time. I don't think you understand what that word means.
Damn! This was 22 years ago!! She still looks this beautiful at 57 yrs old. 2016!! She's timeless and ageless!!! Love her and the band is perfection at it's highest!!! Love them forever!
22 yrs ago, I was 24!! Always loved and listened to Sade. They had me hooked the moment Diamond Life album was released! I heard Smooth Operator on the radio and was hooked!! Day 1!! Will always be a respectful fan of the mastery of music that is created by the band SADE!!!
That makes two of us friend...!! She is a true Queen of female vocalists... Am sure people/ her fans all over the world feel the same way .. she is pure CLASS..
Grew up with heavy metal, hard rock and all that... but this, this is... music I call therapy. Listen to Sade, and... just chill, relax, not a worry in the world.
I had the pleasure of seeing her live, front row center, in New Orleans, back in 2011 - I think it was! When I say this woman's aura is a mix of class, sex appeal and regality, that is being modest! You almost feel blessed having been in her presence.
U left out grace gold standard sets the bar so high we can all walk under it. Seen her twice and I'm a deadhead. Her feet don't touch the ground. Between her tone and stage presence I was transported..
Her and background singer Leroy Osbourne voices meld so well together. God brought Sade and her band together. They are the last institution of class in music.
Canada here. Agree!! Stuart's guitar work is stellar too. What an awesome band! Sade is my all time favourite performer. Thank you RUclips for having lots of her concert footage for us to see ❤ ❤❤❤❤
Rodrigo dear,...I don´t wanna be impolite at any way, but as most of us know Sade is the name of the band and name of the vocalist(lead singer) is Helen Folasade. But you are absolutely right...She is a great singer. And somewhat more...
I`ve always heard that this is her original name, since she is from Nigerya! But I thank you for the information! I like her since I was a little boy and this song in Reggae rhythm is simply wonderful!
One of my favorite Sade's song.2024 still watching her videos.Sade's amazing,the musicians amazing and the sounds engineer is amazing.Love watching this live version.❤💯👍👍👍
Every move a picture (: Every word poetry (: Every harmony or melody gold (: Sade has it all and can do it all with oceans of class (: Rainfalls of style and endless skies of perfect beauty (: The woman is and has always been and remains in her own field of endless play (: Nobody can enter her domain period (: definitely not singers of today or in the past (: When she was made by god the mold was broken forever and ever (: Totally untouchable and unreachable in everything she does (: Sade is a perfect record unscratched or broken that you put on the turntable and the beat never stops its just keeps on going (: infinite (:
Hearing and seeing this is nothing short of a magical experience. All of these artists at their prime, and such a beautiful rendition of a truly ethereal song. I first fell entranced with Sade and the band in 1983, when I was just 14 years old and my parents were divorcing. I was living in a depressed country town in Northern America, my mother on welfare, and I was bullied at school for being "different." They called me "Makeup Megan" because I wore a lot of makeup and perfume. I was dreaming of better days, and Sade sang out these dreams of mine. I am now almost 52 and I love her even more. I've listened to her music all of my life and she always brings me back to Jesus's promises for my life: that my true home is in paradise. For me, Sade's music is the music of that paradise.
this woman has a hypnotic voice that soothes the mind and soul. Never heard anyone like her before or since...one in a million talent. Combination of sexy and classy.
I was Sade in late 80s in Dallas at the then Starplex. At the time, Madonna, Whitney others were doing these high glitz shows. Sade had very little glitz. She just got up on stage and saaaaannnnggg for 3 hours. It was beautiful and amazing.
I grew up the 90's, my mom will always play sade music around the house and the car when i was little I really enjoy her poetic blissful and sultry voice :) is like i can get into a trance and get swept up in heaven with her music.
This woman never has to show any of her body for me to desire her....she writes the book on how to look and feel sexy not like today's singers wearing clothes 2 sizes to small to let it all out...
Wow I never knew she had such a beautiful body! This woman is like the Queen of Queens. Do y'all think there could ever be a mainstream artist that resembles her in her style, class and beauty? (Note, I didn't say another Sade because there will NEVER be another Sade)
+April Domenica She is a hard act to follow..today's female artists do not come close to the sensuality that is Sade....I have never had such a girl crush as I do for Sade..exquisite.
Difficult too create or manifacture someone with all. those elements (: Sade is not only very beautiful not only very talented but she is extremely intelligent (: So clone or create someone similar is very difficult (:
prettyboyfredo fan16 Well her age ussually gets lost because of her overwhelming beauty (: I know shes almost 60 now and still looks like this (: ageless timeless forever young (: A true beautiful perfect goddesss (:
Without question this is the definitive version of this song. Much more energetic and the reggae groove really took the song to another place for me. Love this band in it's totality.
Makes my emotions rise to the occasion of tenderness. I suspect every man would love to know a woman like this, I know I would like to meet a person like the lyrics describe.
When I met my ex husband he played Sade. Everyrime he played this song I would become weak. Sade is soulful, passionate and born to share with the world her sounds, passion and love for singing. Thank you Sade.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the album version, but since I heard this live back in 2002 or so, I’ve been intoxicated by this live version. This concert was incredible, but this song really stood out. The band sounds amazing together live.
OH MY FREAKIN' GOD!!! This is her best live recorded song PERIOD!!! especially with that reggae beat on it! OH MY!!! This is the most original, mind blowing, smooth thing on youtube!! LIFE IS GOOD!!
OMGoooodness, this woman controls the universe when she sings. I saw her in London before she became a megastar (she had just released her first album) and fell in love.
Sade was born with so many talents. She got it all, incredible beauty, an out of this world voice and a unparalleled smooth elegance in her body when she is dancing, it's almost unfair to the rest of us mortals
Sade our Queen of Soul our Goddess of Love our Heavenly sent Angel of Song will never die or disappear anytime soon (: One she still way more great songs and music too make and besides shes on a mission from god and it has ended yet (: So dont worry (: True she the very last but (: Shes also the very best of them all (: j
I have cried a few times in my life. It's a rarity. Sometimes I feel like I have no emotions. Yet when I hear Helen "Sade" Adu's voice, I'm sent to the moon, tears and all. Painfully beautiful music which I love and hate. I'm waiting for her next concert... bucket list for sure.

I agree. This performance made the song even stronger.
There is something about her..innate grace, dignity, beauty that is not visible in today's singers
You can say that again. Sade is a masterclass in Artistic integrity, singing, musicianship, performance. Effortless grace and beauty. She is literally the total package and there will never be another like her❤
Cooler than a snowflake, warmer than the sun- Sade is one in a billion in music and class.
How do you thumbs up comments using exponents? Love her and the band..but more so her!
Nice one, and so very true
Shit is just crazy. She is just absolutely mesmerizing and one of the most underrated bands ever. Incredible...
By whom?

I still really really love her...

That makes two of us friend...!! She is a true Queen of female vocalists... Am sure people/ her fans all over the world feel the same way .. she is pure CLASS..
She still reigns SUPREME!!!!
Imagine how lucky we were to have her and Anita Baker making music,like this in the 80's...
and 90's like this Sade Concert 1994
sdsu
right!
Coming from someone born in the 90s with an old soul.... I agree you are lucky
Please johnnyBgood. "Love Is Stronger Than Pride."
In my opinion, Leroy Osborne is one of the best background singers I've ever heard and seen. He compliments Sade so well, it's classic. Love it.
let wanna make sweetener love to poor u
I love his voice and aura.
True
So well!
Which one is he? I don't know anyone else's names
Grew up with heavy metal, hard rock and all that... but this, this is... music I call therapy. Listen to Sade, and... just chill, relax, not a worry in the world.
You're right i agree with you. I bought this album when i was 19 years old.
Clash fan here but,... wow have always loved her voice style one of the best singers in the history of history 🙏❤️😊
Haha I grew up with this playing in the background while I did chores. My dad really loves Sadé
Love is stronger than pride…
No truer words were ever sang!
I will always come back to the legendary Sade.
I had the pleasure of seeing her live, front row center, in New Orleans, back in 2011 - I think it was! When I say this woman's aura is a mix of class, sex appeal and regality, that is being modest! You almost feel blessed having been in her presence.
She is Divinely feminine thats why ;-)
Jheri Curl Jankins living art very much power and control
Agreed I have seen her as well I will never forget it a highlight in my life
Saw her in 2011 as well, almost moved to tears
I'm liking this calypso Caribbean/ reggae sound. ...
..more of a Rock Steady vibe but it is a killer version!!!
More Jamaican..drumming and bass line
when me and my wife were dating, we would take a drive on the PCH. And I would play sade greatest hits. It's time to take that drive again.
What glorious driving music for such a beautiful drive.
Joseph Gonzales That's what I'm talking about! That's how you do it! 😃
That's sweet what you and wife do stay together God bless
Pacific Coast highway I suppose
This women is flawless
She is literally the definition of class, sophistication & beauty! Those lyrics, and her body jesters are absolutely mesmerizing.
Facts
thousands times agreed
*gestures; jesters are court clowns
U left out grace gold standard sets the bar so high we can all walk under it. Seen her twice and I'm a deadhead. Her feet don't touch the ground. Between her tone and stage presence I was transported..
the bridge kills me everytime.
It's nice
Daniella Rodriguez yup
no truer statement there!
Oh yesssssssss u got that.love her and the entire band. She is my GO TO to get a grip when I am too pissed stuff.
Yeah!
PRINCE ONCE SAID THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFULEST SONGS HE'S EVER HEARD.I TEND TO AGREE WITH YOU PRINCE.
Her and background singer Leroy Osbourne voices meld so well together. God brought Sade and her band together. They are the last institution of class in music.
I agree. What an amazing collection of talent they are.
Maan finally somebody mentioned Leroy !
Mike Urban yep
Love what you said... institution of class in music.
Which god was that?
THAT DRUMMER is EVERYTHING 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Canada here. Agree!! Stuart's guitar work is stellar too. What an awesome band! Sade is my all time favourite performer. Thank you RUclips for having lots of her concert footage for us to see ❤ ❤❤❤❤

Classy, and where are artist like her? Pure, beautiful, just pure.
not only that, she's a SOULFUL singer, one of and maybe THE most soulful..
Beautiful woman, beautiful music, beautiful inside and outside and no negative news reports about her life personal or private
Sade has a background in fashion....and it shows with her choices of stage costumes. Always in the highest taste.
we still love YOU Sade!!
She's too beautiful....
Great argument for black/white interacial marriage you can make a Sade.
The same can be said for yourself
@@GeoTheBlaxican thanks 😘
I truly appreciate all the compliments about my wife. Thank you from the both of us
She takes talent and class to a whole new level!!!!SUPERB!!!!!!

No one compares to Sade.

If the entire world could just move with this kinda music style we would be much better off!
Tremendous vocalist with a band capable of running with her creativity.

Sade in this 1994 sdsu video, is 33 years old!!
She's so enchanting I'm 17 & she had all my attention
Positive massacre.
I have been listening to Sade for 30 years, since '80s, and I can't get enough.
She's amazing, Sade Adu.
Without question this is the definitive version of this song. Much more energetic and the reggae groove really took the song to another place for me. Love this band in it's totality.
Humans have walked the earth for hundreds of thousands of years. I am eternally grateful that I just happened to be alive at the same time as Sade!
Seriously, she killed this,,, I still really really love u. Love is stronger than pride.
Sade embodies what beautiful means, super classic, elegant, humble and amazingly talented... Come back Sade, we all miss you~
Concert ?
2022 ?
Happy 60th Birth Anniversary to the one and only, Sade.
When men are around a woman. They play the instrument a certain kind of way. Truly, a beautiful woman is the controller. He will play what she likes.
real talk...........facts......
That's 100%for sure
EndureIT very true ...im a musician too and i agree with that wonderful observation you made
i would lay at her feet...i swear i love this woman till the day i die!
True... I play drums in a band fronted by a woman and i can confirm this!
Makes my emotions rise to the occasion of tenderness. I suspect every man would love to know a woman like this, I know I would like to meet a person like the lyrics describe.
how in the world can anyone dislike this?? seriously!?
Jessica Roper pure hatred?
Jessica Roper They wanted it to should exactly like the record.
I watch Sade videos when I need a boost in my Goddess energy. She gives me life!!
This version just slays... so good
Love this song, Prince loved this song. So so great full we all breath the same air. Thank you God for these beautiful gifts.
So classy, timeless, no explicit lyrics. Beats any band today.
Sade is the BEST, nothing but the BEST!!!
killing everybody.......🙏🏽
Its like LOVE coming through my computer speakers. She just melts me with that voice.
You should hear it from a good pair of headphones
Fell in love from the first day. She's been in it for 32 years. She lives in my heart.
What a privilege were for those who had the chance to be in one of her concerts.
When I met my ex husband he played Sade. Everyrime he played this song I would become weak. Sade is soulful, passionate and born to share with the world her sounds, passion and love for singing. Thank you Sade.
Forgive me for saying that the fact is he's your ex !
I hope it wasn't too bad of a breakup.
Queen Helen Felasade Adu. beautiful, and talented.
cant believe someone can have such an amazing voice, everything about her is so beautiful, sweet and smooth im in loveeee
I love how the morning-after rasp in Sade’s voice feels like a glass of fine wine with a dash of high-class liquor.
Beautifully put.
Man that was so f-ing beautiful, the song, the performance, and of course her.
First time I saw this was on PBS in the 1990's and It still gives me goosebumps every time I see it.
One of my favorite singers. I love you miss Sade
The Queen
Mercedes Mac she sure is lol

@@SandraNasrollah That comment won the Internet!
I wasn’t a huge fan of the album version, but since I heard this live back in 2002 or so, I’ve been intoxicated by this live version. This concert was incredible, but this song really stood out. The band sounds amazing together live.
It’s the arrangement. The lovers rock reggae touch
OH MY FREAKIN' GOD!!! This is her best live recorded song PERIOD!!! especially with that reggae beat on it! OH MY!!! This is the most original, mind blowing, smooth thing on youtube!! LIFE IS GOOD!!
so much dignity,so much class.and a London girl too !!
...she s from Níger....
The amount of "smooth" displayed by everyone on stage is astounding...
Happy birthday Sade ❤️
I can't seem fo get enough of this song especially this arrangement. The band sleek and tight.
What a great performance by the greatest!
I love this version so much.Especially the "la la la la lala" at the end ❤
My favorite song of all time
One of their best concerts. Their best band. Miss this band.
OMGoooodness, this woman controls the universe when she sings. I saw her in London before she became a megastar (she had just released her first album) and fell in love.
her music is genuinely so soothing I even find myself playing her music to get rest when I feel I can’t
Sade is an icon to the fullest. Love her music.
OMG, she is the definition of a woman, sensual, beautiful, great voice and I think most men in the world could love her, Sade, a universal beauty
The band is exceptional 😱
I'm spoiling myself with these mini performances of Sade on RUclips...they're major performances really..
Been listening and watching her for a long time; I simply Love this woman.
This performance is a legend.
World heritage of music.
she is a queen of the Soul
If this world were fair this band would have had so many awards. Their music is simply timeless.
I hope that she does one more tour! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I’d pay top dollar to go. I missed the last time she came they Cali
Sade was born with so many talents. She got it all, incredible beauty, an out of this world voice and a unparalleled smooth elegance in her body when she is dancing, it's almost unfair to the rest of us mortals
love all her music
One of the greatest and classiest female artist of ALL TIMES! Imho.
AWESOME! pRINCE IS GONE, mj is gone, James Brown is gone. Sade is the last of the great and rare last! Plz dont die, beautiful sister.
