On December 16, 2011, Sade performed at Yas Arena in Abu Dhabi.
When I heard she was coming, I was super interested, but in keeping with my vow to only attend concerts if they are free or I’m willing to pay for the seated tickets, I wasn’t sure. The cost of the seated tickets were outside of my budget and so I figured it was one I would miss.
However, my friend – B – was able to procure free tickets through her contact and so away we went!
Having attended a number of concerts here, this was absolutely the best one I have seen. Not only did Sade perform for two hours straight with a one-song encore, but she had style and class. Although her music isn’t necessarily the greatest, I’m impressed at her consistency and quality that has lasted over the years.
Also, the audience area was decreased so that you could feel closer to the performance. Thus, I was also able to see her much easier than I have seen other performers without feeling crushed!
Overall, it would have probably been worth it to pay for the tickets, but free is a great price for a really fantastic concert!
(Thanks, B!)
