To all SADE FANS - Thank you!!!
With the tour almost over, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed to this board with reviews, comments, links, suggestions, corrections, etc.
When I first started this board, I was not sure what the response would be, but Sade fans from around the world have been wonderful with their contributions to this board and almost every Sade concert was commented on by real Sade fans.
From the first date in Nice and the fans who provided us with the much anticipated setlist; to the fans throughout the first European dates that kept us updated on the concerts; to the American and Canadian fans who posted the setlist change and kept us on tour with Sade throughout the summer; to the South American fans who witnessed Sade for the first time and let us share in their excitement; to the fans who kept us posted during the second European dates that saw Sade play many countries for the first time; to the Australian fans who also noted a setlist change and saw Sade return to the country for the first time since 1986; to the final date in Abu Dhabi and Sade’s first concert in the middle East.
Some of you don’t even speak English and still you posted; those that attended more than one show, shared the differences on this board; those witnessing Sade for the first time, expressed their excitement on this board; and the lucky few who got to meet Sade/the band shared their experiences on this board. I thoroughly enjoyed reading every comment posted for every show and I know that Sade fans who were not able to see Sade live this year, were able to share in the live experience through your posts. And last, but certainly not least, I would like to give a very special thanks to JustSo for your huge contributions in providing (hard to find) links and information on the tour: you made my duties here much easier and made the board more enjoyable. So to all Sade fans who contributed to this board and also to those that checked in to read posts or post links, a huge THANK YOU: this board would not have been possible without you.

I'm really sad but it was so good to talk about SADE, it was so good to see so many people sharing my feelings about the music, the concert, the band. Most of the time you writed exactly what I felt inside. I want to thank the most actives of you who shared links impossible to find for most of us. A special thank for thesweeestgift and just So. I had the chance to attend only one concert but I was in every venues through your comments and links . I really wanted to thank all of you for that !

A few more hours before the last concert ... This year has really been much anticipated, after buying the ticket for the opening concert in Nice in 2010. And it went too fast, to the rhythm of this forum and feedback from all members, and concerts. Big missing in perspective.
First THANK YOU to Sade, for Soldier Of Love album, followed by the Soldier Of Love Tour 2011. The number of initials and extra dates, with full concert halls, and always positive feedbacks was a fine demonstration of the number of fans all around the world. I keep a lot of beautiful pictures and memories etched forever. And I hope to soon get the DVD of the concert. And maybe a new album ?
And First (tie) THANK YOU to Thesweetestgift, and JustSo, for all those information, links, reviews... You are the soul of this forum. I'll have to unlearn to go check your daylies' posts. Thank you again for your involvment, and all those good times.
I'd like to thank you sweetestgift for keeping this board going and for giving us all a chance to share our Sade concert memories/experiences. I don't always post here, but I always read the reviews from the various cities. it was almost like being on tour with Sade. thanks also to all who posted and shared their Sade experiences with all of us. and of course, a big thank you to Sade and 'your guys' for giving us such wonderful memories and such beautiful music.
To begin, let me say thank you to Thesweetestgift to have animate this forum.
And thank you to all the other occasional or regular members for making us share your reviews of concerts of Sade. It was very pleasant and very nice.
For me it was a pleasure to be able to search report on worldwide concerts of SADE and of course share them with you.
I enjoy reading the various information on concerts and see all her beautiful photos.
I also hope that this forum is not going to close too quickly.
I think we expect "all" CD and DVD with great anticipation ... and then after ..... we'll see.
Me anyway I will consult regularly this forum, I must continue to work on my English. :)
The rest will depend on Sade, I hope it does not hibernate too long this time . (Sade if you read us, do not forget us). ;)
Anyway, I'll be there, I am very loyal and very exclusive in my musical choices, and SADE is part of my musical choices and will always be part.
hello,
thanks to thesweetestgift and all others who have worked on maintaining the forum and keeping it alive.
I especially enjoyed reading the feelings and reviews that could be found in the many links provided.
I visited the Vienna show and for me the forum was like an advent calendar where I could open windows until the show.
It somehow made waiting easier and more exciting at the same time.
So it would be nice to have it again when it's SADE time.
greetings (or as we say: "servus")

Thanks for all your hard work and dedication in making this board a lively and enjoyable place to visit
A special thank you also goes out to Just so for your valuable contributions to the board.
I would like to thank you with all my heart for giving me the chance to read and share all reviews from all over the world.
This is very precious for me to be a part of a unique Sade's world.
I believe that you put so much effort and time to make this topic this good and full of information.
Also thank you to all fans who contribute every article and photo here.
