Both Clavin and I love Sade. I mean LOVE Sade. I mean REALLY LOVE Sade. She hadn't produced a new album or toured for over 10 years. She has never performed in Minnesota.
Since we first dated we would watch a DVD of her Lover's Live performance and have always said we wanted to go to a concert. We even agreed we would travel somewhere to see her if she was in a neighboring city.
This spring a Sade tour was announced and Minneapolis was on the list! John Legend was going to open for her. I pre-ordered her new album so that I could get access to concert tickets presale.
We ended up with tickets on the floor in the 21st row!
Before the concert we had drinks and dinner at
Seven The Steakhouse on their rooftop patio. The weather was perfect. I had California Rolls and Clavin had a steak. It was a great comfortable atmosphere.

Sade was everything we had ever imagined. She is a lovely and gracious performer. Her sets were beautiful and artistic. Her music is timeless. She thanked the crowd for "holding the torch for 10 years" and even said "I was told Minneapolis is one of the coldest places in the United States. They were wrong. You are the coolest."

My favorite song that she performed was Pearl. I had goosebumps and tears by the time she was done.
