  2. Thanks so much Silent Way and always enjoy what you share and this will be no exception. Sade is a force of nature at once breathtakingly beautiful with a voice that could melt stone! Thank you!

  3. If you ever come across any recording of the '88 tour please post. I was dragged to the show back then by my girlfriend only to become a huge fan by song two. It's the one tour that eludes me.
