Sade introducing her band....live in concert Sydney 9 Dec 2011

[@Grofzelen]

Wow. This is a masterclass in humility, class and greatness. Many artists could learn a lot from this beautiful lady. Legendary.

[@ehzAxemuzik]

@@davec3901 and who is Paul Crook?

[@davec3901]

@@ehzAxemuzik I assume that's sarcasm but if it's not, that's the original drummer who felt like he got screwed after he got kicked out. He has a whole bunch of videos discussing this. I am a fan of Sade and have seen her in Chicago.

[@ehzAxemuzik]

@@davec3901 band politricks can cause hurt, pain and sometimes joy..i played in and out of bands for 15 years - most i made the cut, some i didn't..presentation has a lot to do with it, and not always talent and attitude - i learned to live with it..sorry, i didn't know the original drummers name, Mr. Paul Cook!

[@beeweezee71888]

Totally agree! Absolutely amazing!!

[@Martin_HD28]

amen!

[@matthewlacey5307]

and three of these guys have played with her since her first album. Incredible longevity and loyalty

[@freddyjimenez6434]

Yeah So True zLove them

[@Underfighter73]

Very rare nowadays

[@naturalkinkycurlymarie7496]

So True. There are 4 Members of Sade Band since 1982. The 4 of them have been together for 40yrs+. *Sade Adu* -Vocals & Lyricist, *Paul* -Bass Guitar 0:04, *Andrew* -Keyboards 3:15 and *Stuart* Guitar & Saxophone 3:42. All 4 are Songwriters. There are other Musicians that started playing with them years later on & off and have been with them for close to 15yrs.

[@Steve-w8m4w]

She's more beautiful now than ever

[@buscaquetebusca]

As some people said here, Sade is a band. The band took the name of the singer and frontwoman, but it's not just a singer with a band in her back. Sade Adu used to write the most of the lyrics, but the guys on bass, keyboards and guitar+saxophone made the music. People on drums, vocals, and extra instruments have been changing , but this 4 people have been a real band for more than 3 decades. We have to appreciate that, all these beautiful songs wouldn't exist without these 4 people.

[@DirtyRed]

Facts they did loose their main drummer from 83 to 96 he died in a car crash in 1996

[@ralphjones7531]

a force and a band a sound is love for us all!

[@diaz-pedro]

Couldn't have said it better amigo

[@henrycleland334]

She is not only beautiful but she has an unbelievable connection with her band.

[@june049]

She is such a lady!

[@SophiaLMitchell]

A real class act!

[@AngeliFernandez]

[@spontaneousgirl4135]

[@sinkovec8996]

[@Style-Director]

angel ramon diaz amen amen she is pure class..

[@jambocoo]

What a genuine sweetheart, I've never seen anyone honor their band members like her. Glad she has a great group of guys like these fellows. Sade is a princess.

[@SmackWaterMack001]

She is a QUEEN

Are you an enema? You sound like a colonoscopy. Have you ever herd of the concept of equal rights?

[@gigilover209]

Alexander LegisNonScriptae Are you serious? 8 Best-Men!! 🤷‍♀️💗💕💗💕!!!!!!!!!!

[@bitterbold]

Now imagine: You have this extraordinary privilege to be in Sade's band, then the most gracious and ravishing woman on earth compliments you with the sweetest words ever...I think this must be what heaven feels like.

[@juliorodriguez2655]

This video of her just "merely" introducing the individual members of Sade is as captivating as any of her music videos. I'm just numb with love for her, I've been a fan for 34 years. To me she's the best ever!

[@chaziadol7884]

Wow! She is a real beauty, she is talented, she has class, nothing vulgar or provoking, a strong presence on stage! ... it changes a lot comparing to what we see today in 2022 !!! Plus, we can feel respect between them!!!

[@zurynajar4417]

She is so humble and down to earth ! It sooooo rare to see the main singer even acknowledge the band but here you can see the unity ! Real musicians coming together to create magic !!! Long live the Queen of soul, Sade !!!!!!!!

[@stupidtreehugger]

4 years your comment sits there, and nobody responds, but I do, I feel it very much, she, Sade, is amazing, her songs, astonishingly good, and, she has made, so wikipedia tells me, a baby, which is a wonderful thing, I wish she makes many more, rather than the many less talented and more stupid people that I see making many babies.

[@stef8153]

the queen of soul❤️ with a stratospheric band ....... greetings from italy

[@7DDuncan]

In my humble opinion “The greatest Band” To grace planet Earth...

[@rhonda5056]

"And this is us" What a woman...what an artist. Acknowledging the talents and gifts of all

[@julioquintana6862]

I was fortunate enough to go to this tour totally last minute, I sat high in the nosebleed section where I could literally touch the roof of the arena! Sade drew me in like it was a small club, the whole concert was a dream, the simplicity of the lighting, the sound of this amazing band, and of course the sexy and soulful Sade. This part where she thanks her band and the audience was a lesson in thankfulness and gratefulness and the reason her band is so tight they can be no other way, and how we love her so❤

[@elainediamond7572]

Wow, that's incredible. She's like a queen with her warriors, each of whom she loves and honors. It's rare to see such a real outpouring of heartfelt appreciation, as she acknowledges each mans unique contribution. No wonder they sound so good. That's SO MUCH for posting this precious moment. 😍

[@velvetindigonight]

Beautiful summation of the truth!

[@mgamalm2010]

she shows so much class, I love her.

[@chacho761]

she loves them... they love her ... and we love the final result....

[@evelynellison624]

Some artists forget that without the band, there is no music to compliment the voice. No one man runs the show. Effective production takes a " joint/collaborative effort. You go girl!

[@seanpowell1661]

Stuart Matthewman looks very young! He's been with the band from the beginning in 1984. I cannot believe how young he looks.

[@dky_1353]

Sean Powell The benefit of being slim. Takes years off of you.

[@elle02220]

So is Andrew Hale, the guy on the keyboard and songwriter

[@rumblefish9]

Stuart looks younger in 2011 than he did in 2001! What a difference a great haircut makes!

[@SarumanDeWhite]

Is he the one who can do bass and saxophone?

[@Harlem139Convent1]

Sade, Stuart. paul and andrew have been together since the early 80’s they are Sade, the only pieces that change are the touring band!! I actually prefer the touring members from 93-94, when they and rick braun, Leroy Osbourne, any one remembers when stuart had those dreds !!lol

[@pdn-vd5om]

What a delight, I wish everyone introduced us to band members like she has. Beautiful Sade.

[@KarlSimms]

[@donagoya]

Great band, great singer, been watching all Sade videos for 6 hours today.

[@bboymummy]

those are the luckiest musicians in the face of this earth, I wouldn't know what to do or how to react if I ever met Sade in person, I'd probably pass out :/

[@DavidMordi]

you got that right! They are sure lucky

[@sharonanderton5779]

if it were I. I would be so humbled. so honoured.she is such a beautiful soul. she is an inspiration to women all over the world. what she did for blending Nigerian with English......

[@tonywilliams3818]

What can I say,I find it hard to put it in into words, " sheer beauty in every way "!!.

[@mozzfan714]

i did. same thing. on top of that, i blush. i don't think she knows how stunning she is.

[@NoafUckinway]

I’d give her a big sloppy kiss...and make it last...

[@basilreardon5783]

Sade your a great performer who remains a modest cougar.....love you Sunshine . i pray god may bless me to be at one of your performances in 2022 - 23 in the United States .❤✌👍

[@johnnylr23]

Just love the way she introduces her band and how she honours and respect by bowing like the Queen, Goddess she is . Yet the way she does it with elegant, yet smooth operator...lol. How many artist today introduce their bandmates with poise and appriciation?

[@joshuathomas2527]

Hay NOW

[@carolwong3399]

Respect love to you Sade and your band--Bravo!

[@estheronala]

The way she acknowledged the band is truly amazing to see and so very rare

[@neilreid9005]

Sade is the epitome of grace, beauty, and love. Music that profound comes from a profoundly beautiful soul.

[@GebreMenfesKidus]

Very cool. I always love to see the stars giving due props to their bands. Sade has incredible musicians working with her. Virtuosos who know the art of laying down the groove while giving just the right licks at the right time. That's what makes her music so great.

[@russeli1941]

Agreed Sir!

[@michael_caz_nyc]

If I was stranded on a Dessert Island, and could only take 1 CD with me - I'd take " Love Deluxe " or any other Sade CD. Their music encompasses: Pop, Jazz, Latin, Rock, R&B, Blues & Reggae Incredible Talent / Phenomenal Band. oNe LovE from NYC

[@oakmitchell877]

I can watch sade videos all damn day! I don't know what it is but she got it all!

[@crazyg74]

oh yeah

[@sylviamoore5057]

I have been a SUPER SADE FAN since forever and although there have been a lot of singers over the years who I love, NO ONE AND I MEAN NO ONE has made me enjoy an artist as much as I love, adore, respect and appreciate Sade and her band. My life is rich because I have this catalog of music that I can listen to and cherish forever. She is truly one-of-a-kind.

[@malosuave]

I had the extreme honor and pleasure meeting Sade on her first American tour. She is not only beautiful outside but equally beautiful on the inside. A sweet and humble woman. If you want to make sure that what I am saying is real...ask her who gave her a Mickey Mouse balloon back stage at the Universal Amphitheater.

[@examinaitudoretendeobem]

I have never seen on video or live the members of the band being presented with such respect and affection !!

[@marshallposey2063]

The epitome of grace and class.

So very beautiful and oh so classy....

This song playing was: "There must be an Angel by my side, but the angel was in my belly!! I love you Sade!! Gotta go now I have tears in my eyes & can't see enough to type!! Thank you for your 🎤🎵💜

[@CordellWallers]

I’m glad Stuart got the biggest applause…he’s easily the best sax player I’ve ever seen and I’m glad he gets his recognition for making her music bigger than life

[@jimedick9496]

Rightfully so. He’s a phenomenal guitar player in his own right as well. Stuart and Sade have written some time classics.

[@kdeltatube]

What fantastic talent, sound, beauty and heart. There's only one group like this. Never grow old, love your music forever.

[@thebrownfilmshow]

Her voice is so angelic. She couldn't help but to make the music she has made. I'm thankful to have grown up with her music and to live in her time. She's one for the history books.

[@vababy45]

omg, she is amazing and the men in her band is so fine.

[@FNFIHOCTW]

Class act I've been loving her music since I was in 5th grade 1985, I stayed up and heard is it a crime on SNL" she was their guest". I have been a fan ever since. So talented!

[@steelcastle5616]

She really respects her bandmates. They are not just "back-up" to her.

Such a beautiful moment,

[@dustinsaidtoney2547]

That was really beatiful. That was a lot of love on that stage.👍

[@stupidtreehugger]

Yep. Yes. A part of me wishes I could troll it, that's to say, make a joke of it, but I can't. It''s a wonderful thing and I bow to it, deeply and gratefully.. Check out this comment above kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWjXnoyPlJWGnaM&lc=UgyJt3Y3KB5gP1H65cx4AaABAg

[@stupidtreehugger]

It's this: "Harlem139Convent1 1 week ago Sade is NOT a solo act that is the name of the band!! Stuart who is a musical genius and can play almost every instrument known to man, paul on bass, and andrew on keyboards and the wonderful helen adu!! They were with a band called pride and left, and formed sade, they actually could not decide on a name so they just said we’ll called the band sade, they been sade since 1982, but been together since the late 70’s, make no mistake these guys all write and compose they are outstanding musicians and songwriters!!""

[@jamesgraham3116]

What a class act she is!

[@salsadancer4965]

That voice and she believed in Andrew and Stuart. If she had gone solo we would never have had the sound we hear today. Her loyalty not to go solo is why she is the megastar today.

[@tina8796]

Elegant Sade ! The Queen of Cool

[@Nangeala]

That was lovely to watch

[@lauremehrkens5891]

I love her backup vocalist @ 1:30. He’s so sweet and handsome. And I love his voice 💕

[@pelzebub4428]

Whenever I listen to Sade’s deep, cool voice, I always must remember to Barry White. She is the female Barry White of our days - and her band is her Love Unlimited Orchestra. Sade is an excellent singer and performer, but Sade is also a brilliant band which makes these songs unique.❤

[@marksleeper3752]

all I can say is Sade has a band that worships her like no other band , and is so into the songs and to have one of the best singers in the world, kudos to Sade and the band.
