Well we are so excited about the show tonight at Radio City. I got the tickets as soon as I heard. The love of my life is a so hooked on Seal. Every album. Actually, one of my first gifts to him was a Seal album. Have to admit wasn’t much of a fan. But through Clairmonte, thats my boo, I love Seal’s music as well. How could you not? That voice, the passion. So sensitive and moving. Music that feeds the soul. Thank you Seal. It’s our anniversary tonight. We are celebrating love, laughter and life. We will be most present and captivated in 1stmz2 Row B seats 207 & 208. See Ya there. One love. Nkenge and Clairmonte of the Bronx, NYC
Wow! What a fan Sylvana seems to be . Must be very special for Seal to have her dance on stage. Then all the shows she goes to see .Why not post a picture of that for us to see??? Wonderful…as for me when I saw Seal, though I felt the electric energy from far …from upclose I don’t think he even noticed me…yep..usually I don’t go unoticed…but there were so many fans too. still! invisible me (!)did enjoye the show immensely…however trutufully eye contact would have been DIVINE but no such luck..as for even touching I wouldn’t have even dared!…Don’t we all love to imagine that he sings for us only…that’s the magic of Seal…Marie Chantale xxx
Hello Marie-Chantale,
Yes I am quite a fan and have been since his first hit. The show at Merriweather was stupendous despite the lousy weather. It was cold and rainy but Seal warmed us with his love and song. I gave him flowers last night and he thanked me with a caress on the cheek. I nearly melted. I don’t have a picture of that. But some fans sent me pictures of me dancing on stage with him in Philly and I will post them soon. Thanks for your comment.
I just had to make a comment about this concert on March 31st, 2009, in Minneapolis, MN, this was such a great concert and we traveled from Chicago to see SEAL and I had been waiting for over 10 years to see him and what a wonderful show that he put on for us. Thank you SEAL for fulfilling one of my dreams in being able to finally see you after missing you several times in Chicago. God Bless you and your tour!!
I am going to my first Seal concert at Radio City on April 16th..I can’t wait! I am so looking forward to it!!! I thank an amazing special friend of mine for introducing me to some Seal songs I never listened to, now I hope you play some of them because the words are stuck in my head, heart and soul!!
Seal, you have a gift for touching hearts with your lyrics…and warming souls with your sound! Your music has comforted many people as well as myself who have gone through a lot in life..I thank you for me and them
Mia
We just saw SEAL at the Borgata in Atlantic City. He was truly awesome.
The concert was the best ever. He sung his heart out. I really liked the lights and videos being shown during the concert. SEAL ROCKS!!!
Looking forward for more of the same in Miami. See ya soon!!!
Seal – I am a HUGE fan since the first CD. YOur music has defined many moments in my ife…we danced to your music at my wedding, you were the first artist my children could identify and I trained for my first marathon listening to your music! My 50th birthday is quickly approaching and my one wish is to meet you. My husband contacted your agent and made the request. He was told that you are not doing any “meet and greets” because you have been making so many media appearances. Say it isn’t so. You cannot become that commercial. NOOOO!
Well, we will be in the 2nd row at Merriweather and I am so looking forward to the concert. I am a bit sad and disappointed. You are still my absolute favorite artist! Lisa
Lisa, I will be in the second row at Merriweather too. Tell me what you look like and I will look for you. I have a chin length brown bob haircut and glasses.
I have shoulder length brown curly hair and my husband has yellowish blonde hair. We are in the center (seats 132 and 133, I think). I will look for you!
Lisa, it was great to meet you. I could feel how excited you were about seeing Seal. I am so glad that you had such special moments of direct eye contact with him. What a wonderful birthday gift. Here is my email sealvana@yahoo.com. Hope to see you at another concert the next tour.
Thanks Silvana. I enjoyed the concert with you! It seems like a blur now. I guess the energy was so high! Of course, now I wish that I had requested an accoustic version of Loves Devine. Thanks so much for the playlist and rose!!!
After the Atlantic City show, I now love Seal more than ever! His magnetism and talent have always been captivating but to see him in person makes me swoon even more than I did before…which is saying a LOT!!!
One small disappointment was that he only traveled to house right/stage left ONCE during the entire concert. The people sitting house left/stage right had a much better dose of Seal…I felt very neglected.
But thank you Seal, and the band, for a truly fantastic night of music!

Hey Seal and Band–What a fantastic show at The Borgota tonight!
Thank you so much for the greatest songs!
Just so you know, we were all hoping for one more song after you sent
us a kiss goodbye–we actually waited for you at the stage–
Next time, ok?
Love ya in Millstone Township, New Jersey!
I saw Seal for the first time this past Friday, at the MGM Grand/Foxwoods (Connecticut) show. As my first Seal show, it has been a long time coming, and I am so glad I went. I had nosebleed seats in their theater (which is fairly large), but enjoyed it none the less.
My girlfriend agrees with the comments above that it would have been even more impressive if they were touring with an actual horn section, but we were both mightly impressed by the performance. I, being a Seal fan, was thrilled to actually see the show – my girlfriend, who is familiar with his music on a passing basis, was won over by his voice, range, and stage presence.
From the distance I was at, this is a simple and clean stage setup. The focus is on the artist, not his surroundings, and he works it masterfully. The stage has enough flourish as to not be boring, but you can tell where the center of attention should be. The sound mixing was good – the room acoustics up in the balcony detracted a bit, but that is not the fault of the show. One minor fault was that in some songs, the stage performance didn’t match perfectly with the on-screen performance (those who have seen the show will understand what I mean)… there was a slight delay which was only distracting if you watched the video display.
Seal and his band were spot on. As some have said, it almost sounded better than the album versions of his songs. His clear voice coming out over the music, performing live, was excellent.
Our crowd could have been a little more energetic – Seal definitely favored the stage-right side of things, as they were on their feet most of the show. Stage-left seemed to sit on their hands until “Crazy” was played. A smaller, more intimate venue will not have this problem. The music and musicianship will get you out of your seat, and it is infectious!
In a way, I feel bad for Seal – being a large theater and having just played Boston a short drive up I-95, this show did not sell out. The venue is a laaaarge theater setting, allowing a less intimate show – which I could tell he would excel at.
Overall though, I was so happy to finally have gone to a show. I’ll be keeping tabs on him going forward, because I certainly do not want to miss another one in the area!
-G
(PS: If anyone has the setlist from this Friday’s show, I’d love to see it – I don’t think that the above mentioned list is precisely what was played at the 4/10/09 show)
Que voz linda e maravilhosa voce tem.Continue assim com esta voz doce e cada vez mais conquistará milhares de fãs pelo mundo.Parabens.Sorte e Sucesso.

My husband & I attended your show in Minneapolis. We loved it!! We love all of your songs and play them so much at home and in the car that our 6 year old daughter loves them too! She and I were at the post office one day and she turned around and looked at the people behind us in the line and then said, “That’s Seal!” and got so excited. She was disappointed when I told her that it wasn’t you….The people behind us thought it was great though! She’s a big fan of Wedding Day. She sings the Heidi part and I sing the Seal part in the car. Thanks for making great songs that we can listen to with our kids as well! I love the messages behind your songs. We all hope the rest of your tour is fantastic! Thanks for taking time away from your family to give us a memorable performance!
I have gone to many Seal concerts in and around Philadelphia, this was the BEST to date. Seal has performed at the Mann Music Center twice and at the Electric Factory (touring for the Human Beings cd) he signed a cd for my wife Carol. Carol was at this concert and said everyone should see Seal if they ever had the chance. Carol was also suprised with Peter Cincontti opening for Seal, she said it was one of the best opening acts she has seen in a long time. Great show, fantastic visual effects, Seal agin really relates to the crowd and I can’t wait until he returns again. P.S. I wasn’t sure if I would like the new covers of the classics, but Seal rose to the occasion and nailed every cover. Thanks Seal, hope to see you again real soon…don’t make me wait…
I am not sure if this message will even get to Seal, but I had to write. My husband and I are celebrating our 12th anniversary at the concert tomorrow night in Connecticut with Seal, through the grace of one amazing person who gave us tickets we couldn’t otherwise afford. This is a lifelong dream for both of us and respectfully request that you sing “Heaven” if you could. You don’t need to dedicate it to us, but if you could just sing it, it would mean more than you would ever know to this disabled mom of 2 who loves her husband more than life and can think of no better way to celebrate the anniversary of our wedding than with Seal, finally. We danced to Heaven as our first song as man and wife and this is the most amazing experience we could imagine, it would only be better if we could hear “our” song.
I really appreciate your reading this and if you can’t, I completely understand, but thank you for taking the time to read it anyways and we cannot wait to see you tomorrow night!!!!
it was a very nice show in philly . the selection of song, the way he dress, everthing was great . I was standing right in front of him yes i was the lady in red ,i had such a great time i cant not wait to see him again.
I don’t have a picture but you were great! I can’t believe how much fun I had. Seal rocks! Thank you so much for giving so much of yourself at that concert!
Thank you Kay. I have never had the courage to do anything like this before. But the risk paid off. And it is so nice to have comments like yours. It makes it even more real, since it seemed like a dream!
Yes indeed it was a fabulous show in Philly! I was the girl that danced on stage with him. If anyone out there has a picture or any video, would you please let me know. I’d love to have it as a souvenir. Thank you
How lucky for you. There was no stage access in Boston or i would have hopped right on up there. Instead I just had to wrap my self around his legs, and squeeze!
Isn’t it wonderful how he doesn’t flinch when people touch him on stage? He’s unflappable. He gives a flawless performance while allowing his fans to interact with him. Truly a giving human being!
hi silvana
you can e-mail me @ princessyamie@yahoo.com so that i can send you the pictures i have of you and Seal yamie the lady in red
Seal baby you rock i can’t wait to see you again you have such strong legs Love Lady in Red
Seal played a fantastic show in Boston. Lots of songs from the first album, which still sound just as good as when they were first released.
Great background graphics too. If you have not seen Seal before this is the tour not to be missed. Playing smaller venues which make it all the better.
Would be really great if he could tour with a real horn section and not have to used recorded music, but it sounded great anyways. Good selection of songs from all of the albums.
To SBNDL
What a wonderful comment you wrote!!!!! I too would love to get a recording if one can be downloaded perhaps on itunes?. May I suggest you get from Itunes Rare Collection .
I missed the show the next night in Toronto…2 of the missing seats was my guilty party…not my fault though….I still remember the magic of windsor though…you are a wonderful writer…

He played most of the songs fully but not all of them. The show was over two hours long. I remember he did a medley of Get it Together and Knock on Wood and think he did another but I just can’t remember what it was. I guess I should’ve stopped dancing and written it down I wish he had played Amazing but I guess I’ll just have to wait until next time. I hope he gets to Germany soon, too!!
Seal and his band rocked in Boston – still REALLY bummed out that Seal was unable to sing our National Anthem at Fenway… there’s gotta be a way to get him back to Fenway this season – it really is a missed opportunity.
I saw Seal for the first time in Manchester, United Kingdom, in 2004 – but I had spent years listening to Seal… I had a chance to meet him after the show in Manchester and I let him know how his music helped motivate and carry me through a challenging two-year ecclesiastical mission in the Dominican Republic between 1994 and 1996 – he seemed honestly moved by this; he really is a great guy and shows a great deal of respect and humility toward his audience. After the Manchester show I became friends with other fans and have stayed friends with them since – Marty, you reading this man? You’ll really enjoy Seal’s show in Manchester this summer – Marie and I wish we could join you.
Does anyone know the names of the musician’s on Seal’s tour? I can’t remember them.
Enjoy the show in Manchester – what else can I say. You have a short memory, man; Seal’s ability to appreciate his fans and their enthusiasm for his music is one of the things that makes him so genuine. Maybe you had one beer too many that night. You must have really missed out on how receptive and appreciative he was when we met him.
In any case, it’s always good to hear from you and Marie and I do wish we could join you in Manchester.
I am still so excited, I have now lost muy voice and oh my aching back, but every second was worth it. Please do not wait so long to come back to us in Boston.
much love respect and gratitude.
I would like to place my order for the live recording of the show in Windsor!
I don’t know how all those layers of music were put together or how the four of you could so perfectly blend your instruments whether acoustic, electric, digital and vocal. I do know it was beautiful, lyrical, ethereal and organic. The words stirred my soul while the rhythm sent me into visceral gyrations I couldn’t control. Like a wonderful elixir for the whole me!
DIVINE in Boston!!! Extraordinary heart, deep spirit and dance moves that make one swoon…thank you Seal!!! My son recently died and I had chosen your version of *People Get Ready* for his paddle-out service…your voice wrapped around his *being*…thank you for the beautiful soulful rendition of your final song of the evening…tears of sheer bliss. Armfuls of gratitude to you for sharing your gift!!! I am forever grateful…
I saw you last night in Boston. I have seen you 9 times, but there was something electric going on last night. It was awesome, better than ever the best ever, and more! I was in front dancing the whole night with my crown on, and you cam right to me, as you have the last 3 times I have seen you.
Your music and your spirit inspire goodness, and I truly love you for that! I would give my right arm to have a redo, so i could soak it all up again. Thank you for the best night ever.
Hey Sue! I was your front row partner last night. It’s interesting to read that you’ve seen Seal so many times and that last night’s show was a powerhouse performance. I am still all vibed up from the incredible energy of last night’s experience. There was definitely something wild and wonderful surging through the Orpheum last night!
we all experienced something magical! It was a blast spending time screaming dancing, and having fun with you. Enjoy your picture and the memories. See you next time, we actually tried to go again Friday to the MGM, but schedules would not allow.
Me too! I got right on the web site when I returned home from the concert. I was even looking at the NYC date to see if I could make it. Oh, well. Hopefully he’ll be back this way soon.
Thank you, Seal, for a FABULOUS night in Toronto April 4. You were so wonderful when you mentioned there were 3 empty seats in the front row, and that somebody should come and take them… I was lucky enough to get one, and I stood there and danced and loved you all night. Truly, a night I will never forget. Your music is the background of my life; every CD brings me back to a place in time where I was when I was listening to it… The gift of your music is everlasting, and has helped me through tough times, as well as celebrate the great times. Thank you, thank you, thank you. XXOO
Hi, I am the girl who brought the rose I really would of loved a picture with him. This was my first time seeing him and I wish I could see more….Send me your email and I;ll send you the few pictures I have if you like.
Donna
I remember you and the rose! Yes, any pics you have would be GREATLY appreciated. Please send them to demaris@yorku.ca. What a FABULOUS night!!! Thanks so much Donna!!!
Thank you for a wonderful concert in Boston. A fan since 1996- it was everything and more. All the songs were fantastic,the band was great. Crazy was my favorite- you could have sung that song forever- Thank you!
Hello,
I do not know if Seal actually reads the messages posted on his website but I felt like I should post something about tonight’s show in Boston. It was the first time for me to see Seal on stage ad it was better than anything I have ever listened from him. Way better than any CDs I have (even Live from Paris). So I just wanted to say Thank you Seal… And I wont miss an other opportunity to see you on stage! Now it is going hard to sleep!
PS: My only regret would be that I wont be able to see you perform the Duet with Mylene Farmer on stage now I moved to the US!
I keep telling people till you see Seal live there is no way to know how huge a talent he is, and how much he loves his fans. His energy and voice know no limits, never mind the sex appeal. I dont know who is the luckier one in his relationship!
The power and energy of you and your band has no equal. Your fans appreciate your music and also each other; exactly what your music signifies. Thank you for a wonderful evening. (Chicago on April 1st)
Well, I attended your show in Windsor Ont. Friday night, and would have to say it was one of the best “Seal” concerts I’ve been to! I live in the states, and usually see you when you come to Detroit. This was the first time I’ve seen you with the screens and videos playing in the background. VERY nice touch I should say!!! The only complaint I have is the curfew you had, and I wish you would have done a couple more songs off The System album. Other that, it was yet another great performance. “THANKS”!!!!
P.S. You did a version of Bring It On that kicked my ass!!! I was wondering if you were going to put it on an ep, or maybe a bonus track on a single. If not, please put it on SOMETHING lol it blew me away, and I’d love to have it on my I-Pod to workout with.
Thanks for doing what you do, and we look forward to more great stuff from you in the future!
Hi Seal, just wanted to tell you how excited I am about your upcoming East Coast venues! I have seen a number of your concerts, most recently at Westbury Music Fair (the System Tour). I can’t wait to see you in NYC again at Radio City and will also be at the Atlantic City concert this Saturday. Your voice has never been more amazing than it is on Soul, your rendition of “I Can’t Stand the Rain” just gives me chills everytime!
Please make sure to do a few songs from way back in the day (“Violet” and “Deep Water” are two of my favorites) for those of us who have followed your career since your first album. Looking forward to the Tour!
The show in Windsor was completely unexpected. The electronic/dance grooves were outstanding. The first two numbers,while I have no idea what they were absolutely made me want more! I’ve done everything I know to try and figure out their titles and whether or not they were new, old or remixed. Just the same the whole show was so outstanding. Great musicianship by everyone! The lighting added worked so well with your music as well. All around excellent!
He opened with “Human Beings”, from the CD with the same title…sorry, can’t remember what the second one was… he played in Toronto the next night, FABULOUS!!
I attended your show in Toronto on Saturday night and I wanted to let you know that you were amazing. I have been a fan for many years and while I absolutely love your older work – the new was equally satisfying. Your performance was the best birthday present I could have dreamed for. Thanks for the great music and hopefully you will be back to Toronto again soon.
Dear Seal, I am still on the buzz from last night’s concert. What an amazing conert. This was my first time seeing you live. You are a great performer, and your band is amazing. You really connect with them. They really seem to enjoy playing with you. We can feel the energy. And gee, too bad I was in the pit high, because I would have run to get one of those 3 empty in front seats! Man, you rock. Please come back soon to Toronto. I love you! Peace. Julie xxx
Did you happen to get any pics? My camera wasn’t working. The girl sitting beside me said she would send me hers, but I haven’t heard from her…. sure would love to re-live the memories with some pics!
D.
Thanks Julie! Wish I could see the whole concert and enjoy it all over again (it went waaayyyy too fast!!) but a least I can re-live a little… thanks for the tip!
My wife and I drove up from New York just for your concert and it was EVERYTHING we hoped it would be. I have been a fan since “Crazy” and was thrilled to hear you would be at such and intimate venue. My wife and I had planned to go out to the clubs of Toronto as well, however after such a great experience we elected to go back to the hotel and conclude the evening. As far as we were concern nothing could top your performance. Thank You………
The show last night in Toronto was fantastic. We have been fans in this family since your first record, but this is the first time we have seen you perform. I have to say that while we love listening to your music at home, you are even better live. This is something that, unfortunately, not many artists can claim. Great performance, great band and a great evening altogether. It was my daughter’s (age 13) first concert, and it is one both she and I will never forget. Please come back to Toronto again soon. We will be waiting for you . . .
Hey what a great night!!!!!I have wanted to see you for years. We took out daughter Lola. She loves you. We listen to “Amazing” on our way to school in the morning and she sings. We were in the front row and I thank you for connecting with my 8yr old daughter. What a beautiful talent. I hope all the good energy you give out comes back to you and your family. Have a safe and fun tour and please come back to MSP. Judy,John, and Lola
Tuesday night was the second show I have seen in Minneapolis. It was truly amazing!!!! I have been a fan for a long time. Your presence is captivating along with your soul and music. I was the one that came down the aisle to touch your hand!!! What can I say!!! It was great to be that close. Next time we will get front row seats!!! Come back to Minneapolis!! You are loved!! Thanks to everyone that put the show together and the band. It was truly a thoughtful show that conveyed a warm familiar feeling. Your connection with the audience was great. Love, MB
I saw the show in Minneapolis. It was amazing! Your music always puts me in a better place. You don’t know me but have been with me through so much. Thank you for doing what you do! God Bless.
Hi Seal, I was not at your concert last night, but I can tell from the comments above that you wowed the fans and that is not suprising. I hope to get to at least one of your concerts. Keep up the good works…………………………Love you, Josephine
Still hear your voice from last night in Chicago & I can’t stop smiling. Love that you opened with Human Beings!!! Hope you play Montalvo again cause that was amazing 3 yrs ago.
I was really impressed with the show in Minneapolis. This was my first time seeing Seal and the performance was just simply amazing.
I really liked the mix of music (Soul, System, and the others primarily being I and IV), although I was kinda hoping to hear “Don’t Make Me Wait.” Awesome vocals and band, I liked the musical “tricks” as well…and the one woman who ran down to touch your hand. Hillarious! Seal (and Staff) did a great job with audience control, being personable, very considerate, and keeping the concert exciting but not crazy. Great job, I would pay the 70 dollars to see Seal again!
Thanks for a *fantastic* show – a great performance! You really connected with us in the audience, and one could tell how everyone appreciated that. I especially appreciated how you held your gaze with my camera lens for a time (I was in the first few rows) – long enough for me to snap a great shot to remember the night by! Enjoy the rest of your journey on tour.
Seal- the concert last night was AMAZING! It was my first time seeing you in concert and it definitely will not be the last. My fiance and I are big fans and we rocked out all night- even when we were sitting Thanks so much for a great night- what a great break during the work week! Best wishes for the rest of your tour and hope you’ll come back and visit us here in Minneapolis!
Anne Cherek
Hey, I know that you wowed the people on your first night tour. I wish that I could have been there. I do have the DVD of Soul, so when I can’t see you live, I can look at the DVD. Keep up the good work. You are one of a kind and your voice is so special. Take care …………………Love, Josephine
I’m Adriane, from Brazil. On your first show in Brazil in 2008 in São Paulo I was there.
I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE you and your work. I’m not used to going to concerts and begging to be received by a singer – but with you I did.
You were so, so gentle to talk to me. During the conversation, I looked at you and started crying. This was a great moment for me.
You know I had a dream in which I was at another concert of yours – but in the USA – and I tried to talk to you…and the when you spotted me- you recognized me like being the crying lady. hehehe.
Well, I hope to be able to watch another concert of yours soon – and I will bed to be received….this time I won’t drink so much wine so as to hold myself together.
You were amazing in MPLS last night!!! We been listening to you since 1991 and have been waiting a long, long time to see you!! Thank you so much for choosing us to start your new tour. God’s speed to you and your crew for the rest of your tour!! We love you in MPLS!!
GREAT concert last night. I love the “Soul” music, and as you said, you could’ve played for hours and not played all we would have loved to hear. Thanks for stopping here – come back!
I am in Washington DC. I saw something that you were coming here…
But I can’t find it on your site.
I would like to speak with you about a simple program I am doing
on Peace with kids for the initiative.
I attended last night’s show in Minneapolis. Seal was in great voice, the band was awesome, and the lightshow was fab. However, I have a suggestion about the stage set-up which I hope can be considered for subsequent shows on this tour.
Please don’t use that short runway jutting from the stage in venues which have balconies. I was sitting in the first balcony, 4th row at the Orpheum – pretty good seats, I thought. But whenever Seal stepped onto that runway to sing, as he did for over half of the show, he completely disappeared under the lip of the balcony. No one could see him without leaning forward and craning their necks. The sightlines in these old theatres suck enough without this stage setup exacerbating things. Please put Seal back on the stage, where everyone can see AND hear him. Thanks!
We just saw you last night in Minneapolis. What a fabulous show. Your upbeat attitude and lyrics are so refeshing. Love the new soulful sound. Thanks for sharing so much of yourself with us last night at the show.
Just saw Seal in Minneapolis and as usual it was a stunning performance. He peformed for about 2 hours and had a great mix from all of the albums. It doesn’t get much better than Seal live. If you haven’t seen him live, it is something you must do!
Hi Seal! I was actually on the SAME flight as you from Los Angeles this morning I wanted to go up to you and say hi, but I also did not want to invade your privacy!!! I have to say I was so emotional seeing you. I couldnt believe it was you!!! You are SUCH a great person,father and inspiration. I am here for work but If I had known you were going to be playing here, I would have bought tickets. I wish you nothing but SUCCESS and HAPPINESS!!! You are such a great person. I do hope I can see you soon in concert..
Really looking forwrd to seeing you tonight for the 3rd time since 2001. Hope you play heavenly! Your 2004 dvd is a regular viewing at our house.
Stop in to Palomino across the street beforehand, the 8 of us would love to see you.

Well we are so excited about the show tonight at Radio City. I got the tickets as soon as I heard. The love of my life is a so hooked on Seal. Every album. Actually, one of my first gifts to him was a Seal album. Have to admit wasn’t much of a fan. But through Clairmonte, thats my boo, I love Seal’s music as well. How could you not? That voice, the passion. So sensitive and moving. Music that feeds the soul. Thank you Seal. It’s our anniversary tonight. We are celebrating love, laughter and life. We will be most present and captivated in 1stmz2 Row B seats 207 & 208. See Ya there. One love. Nkenge and Clairmonte of the Bronx, NYC
Wow! What a fan Sylvana seems to be . Must be very special for Seal to have her dance on stage. Then all the shows she goes to see .Why not post a picture of that for us to see??? Wonderful…as for me when I saw Seal, though I felt the electric energy from far …from upclose I don’t think he even noticed me…yep..usually I don’t go unoticed…but there were so many fans too. still! invisible me (!)did enjoye the show immensely…however trutufully eye contact would have been DIVINE but no such luck..as for even touching I wouldn’t have even dared!…Don’t we all love to imagine that he sings for us only…that’s the magic of Seal…Marie Chantale xxx
Hello Marie-Chantale,
Yes I am quite a fan and have been since his first hit. The show at Merriweather was stupendous despite the lousy weather. It was cold and rainy but Seal warmed us with his love and song. I gave him flowers last night and he thanked me with a caress on the cheek. I nearly melted. I don’t have a picture of that. But some fans sent me pictures of me dancing on stage with him in Philly and I will post them soon. Thanks for your comment.
I just had to make a comment about this concert on March 31st, 2009, in Minneapolis, MN, this was such a great concert and we traveled from Chicago to see SEAL and I had been waiting for over 10 years to see him and what a wonderful show that he put on for us. Thank you SEAL for fulfilling one of my dreams in being able to finally see you after missing you several times in Chicago. God Bless you and your tour!!
I am going to my first Seal concert at Radio City on April 16th..I can’t wait! I am so looking forward to it!!! I thank an amazing special friend of mine for introducing me to some Seal songs I never listened to, now I hope you play some of them because the words are stuck in my head, heart and soul!!
Seal, you have a gift for touching hearts with your lyrics…and warming souls with your sound! Your music has comforted many people as well as myself who have gone through a lot in life..I thank you for me and them
Mia
We just saw SEAL at the Borgata in Atlantic City. He was truly awesome.
The concert was the best ever. He sung his heart out. I really liked the lights and videos being shown during the concert. SEAL ROCKS!!!
Looking forward for more of the same in Miami. See ya soon!!!
Respect
Seal – I am a HUGE fan since the first CD. YOur music has defined many moments in my ife…we danced to your music at my wedding, you were the first artist my children could identify and I trained for my first marathon listening to your music! My 50th birthday is quickly approaching and my one wish is to meet you. My husband contacted your agent and made the request. He was told that you are not doing any “meet and greets” because you have been making so many media appearances. Say it isn’t so. You cannot become that commercial. NOOOO!
Well, we will be in the 2nd row at Merriweather and I am so looking forward to the concert. I am a bit sad and disappointed. You are still my absolute favorite artist! Lisa
Lisa, I will be in the second row at Merriweather too. Tell me what you look like and I will look for you. I have a chin length brown bob haircut and glasses.
I have shoulder length brown curly hair and my husband has yellowish blonde hair. We are in the center (seats 132 and 133, I think). I will look for you!
I will look for you. Our seats are 133-136 row BBB section C.
Lisa, it was great to meet you. I could feel how excited you were about seeing Seal. I am so glad that you had such special moments of direct eye contact with him. What a wonderful birthday gift. Here is my email sealvana@yahoo.com. Hope to see you at another concert the next tour.
Thanks Silvana. I enjoyed the concert with you! It seems like a blur now. I guess the energy was so high! Of course, now I wish that I had requested an accoustic version of Loves Devine. Thanks so much for the playlist and rose!!!
After the Atlantic City show, I now love Seal more than ever! His magnetism and talent have always been captivating but to see him in person makes me swoon even more than I did before…which is saying a LOT!!!
One small disappointment was that he only traveled to house right/stage left ONCE during the entire concert. The people sitting house left/stage right had a much better dose of Seal…I felt very neglected.
But thank you Seal, and the band, for a truly fantastic night of music!

Last night my husband and I saw SEAL in AC. All I can say is that SEAL is a true performer. LOVED every moment and can’t wait to see the next venue.
Happy Easter,
Thank you!!!!!!!!
SEAL:
I have been waiting so long to hear you in person. I dance with adults ( ballet and modern) and we have been dancing to CRAZY, best of and SEAl System for years! In person, your voice and your presence comes from the gut . I saw you at the Borgata , ac, BUT HE ACOUSTICS took away from your pure voice and power. I knew all the lyrics but couldnt recognize a lot above the technology.
I also manage a few TV, film and entertainment projects. Could you please email me or find me on LINKEDIN , for your contact info.
I love the fact that you are an incredible talent, spirit and huamn being who is to be revered, and not commercialized.
I look forward to seeing you again or working with you.
Hey Seal and Band–What a fantastic show at The Borgota tonight!
Thank you so much for the greatest songs!
Just so you know, we were all hoping for one more song after you sent
us a kiss goodbye–we actually waited for you at the stage–
Next time, ok?
Love ya in Millstone Township, New Jersey!
I saw Seal for the first time this past Friday, at the MGM Grand/Foxwoods (Connecticut) show. As my first Seal show, it has been a long time coming, and I am so glad I went. I had nosebleed seats in their theater (which is fairly large), but enjoyed it none the less.
My girlfriend agrees with the comments above that it would have been even more impressive if they were touring with an actual horn section, but we were both mightly impressed by the performance. I, being a Seal fan, was thrilled to actually see the show – my girlfriend, who is familiar with his music on a passing basis, was won over by his voice, range, and stage presence.
From the distance I was at, this is a simple and clean stage setup. The focus is on the artist, not his surroundings, and he works it masterfully. The stage has enough flourish as to not be boring, but you can tell where the center of attention should be. The sound mixing was good – the room acoustics up in the balcony detracted a bit, but that is not the fault of the show. One minor fault was that in some songs, the stage performance didn’t match perfectly with the on-screen performance (those who have seen the show will understand what I mean)… there was a slight delay which was only distracting if you watched the video display.
Seal and his band were spot on. As some have said, it almost sounded better than the album versions of his songs. His clear voice coming out over the music, performing live, was excellent.
Our crowd could have been a little more energetic – Seal definitely favored the stage-right side of things, as they were on their feet most of the show. Stage-left seemed to sit on their hands until “Crazy” was played. A smaller, more intimate venue will not have this problem. The music and musicianship will get you out of your seat, and it is infectious!
In a way, I feel bad for Seal – being a large theater and having just played Boston a short drive up I-95, this show did not sell out. The venue is a laaaarge theater setting, allowing a less intimate show – which I could tell he would excel at.
Overall though, I was so happy to finally have gone to a show. I’ll be keeping tabs on him going forward, because I certainly do not want to miss another one in the area!
-G
(PS: If anyone has the setlist from this Friday’s show, I’d love to see it – I don’t think that the above mentioned list is precisely what was played at the 4/10/09 show)
Que voz linda e maravilhosa voce tem.Continue assim com esta voz doce e cada vez mais conquistará milhares de fãs pelo mundo.Parabens.Sorte e Sucesso.

My husband & I attended your show in Minneapolis. We loved it!! We love all of your songs and play them so much at home and in the car that our 6 year old daughter loves them too! She and I were at the post office one day and she turned around and looked at the people behind us in the line and then said, “That’s Seal!” and got so excited. She was disappointed when I told her that it wasn’t you….The people behind us thought it was great though! She’s a big fan of Wedding Day. She sings the Heidi part and I sing the Seal part in the car. Thanks for making great songs that we can listen to with our kids as well! I love the messages behind your songs. We all hope the rest of your tour is fantastic! Thanks for taking time away from your family to give us a memorable performance!
I have gone to many Seal concerts in and around Philadelphia, this was the BEST to date. Seal has performed at the Mann Music Center twice and at the Electric Factory (touring for the Human Beings cd) he signed a cd for my wife Carol. Carol was at this concert and said everyone should see Seal if they ever had the chance. Carol was also suprised with Peter Cincontti opening for Seal, she said it was one of the best opening acts she has seen in a long time. Great show, fantastic visual effects, Seal agin really relates to the crowd and I can’t wait until he returns again. P.S. I wasn’t sure if I would like the new covers of the classics, but Seal rose to the occasion and nailed every cover. Thanks Seal, hope to see you again real soon…don’t make me wait…

Great photos of seal from his Show in Chicago at the above website!
I am not sure if this message will even get to Seal, but I had to write. My husband and I are celebrating our 12th anniversary at the concert tomorrow night in Connecticut with Seal, through the grace of one amazing person who gave us tickets we couldn’t otherwise afford. This is a lifelong dream for both of us and respectfully request that you sing “Heaven” if you could. You don’t need to dedicate it to us, but if you could just sing it, it would mean more than you would ever know to this disabled mom of 2 who loves her husband more than life and can think of no better way to celebrate the anniversary of our wedding than with Seal, finally. We danced to Heaven as our first song as man and wife and this is the most amazing experience we could imagine, it would only be better if we could hear “our” song.
I really appreciate your reading this and if you can’t, I completely understand, but thank you for taking the time to read it anyways and we cannot wait to see you tomorrow night!!!!
Blessings to you and yours,
Chad and Kara Maynard
it was a very nice show in philly . the selection of song, the way he dress, everthing was great . I was standing right in front of him yes i was the lady in red ,i had such a great time i cant not wait to see him again.
Hi Silvana,
I don’t have a picture but you were great! I can’t believe how much fun I had. Seal rocks! Thank you so much for giving so much of yourself at that concert!
Thank you Kay. I have never had the courage to do anything like this before. But the risk paid off. And it is so nice to have comments like yours. It makes it even more real, since it seemed like a dream!
Great show in Philadelphia – same exact setlist form Boston. Terrific versions of Human Beings and great medly of Deep Water / Whirlpool.
Yes indeed it was a fabulous show in Philly! I was the girl that danced on stage with him. If anyone out there has a picture or any video, would you please let me know. I’d love to have it as a souvenir. Thank you
I have one, send me an e-mail to jonesk2@corning.com; we saw you out by the bus when you were leaving.
Thank you Kevin. Can’t wait to get the picture. Please look for my email.
How lucky for you. There was no stage access in Boston or i would have hopped right on up there. Instead I just had to wrap my self around his legs, and squeeze!
Isn’t it wonderful how he doesn’t flinch when people touch him on stage? He’s unflappable. He gives a flawless performance while allowing his fans to interact with him. Truly a giving human being!
hi silvana
you can e-mail me @ princessyamie@yahoo.com so that i can send you the pictures i have of you and Seal yamie the lady in red
Seal baby you rock i can’t wait to see you again you have such strong legs Love Lady in Red
i have some pictures of you dancing with him i am the lady in red that was standing next to you.i can email you what i have
hi silvana i have the picture
Thank you Yamie. Here is my email sealvana@yahoo.com. Can’t wait.
Seal played a fantastic show in Boston. Lots of songs from the first album, which still sound just as good as when they were first released.
Great background graphics too. If you have not seen Seal before this is the tour not to be missed. Playing smaller venues which make it all the better.
Would be really great if he could tour with a real horn section and not have to used recorded music, but it sounded great anyways. Good selection of songs from all of the albums.
I hope to catch him again.
To SBNDL
What a wonderful comment you wrote!!!!! I too would love to get a recording if one can be downloaded perhaps on itunes?. May I suggest you get from Itunes Rare Collection .
I missed the show the next night in Toronto…2 of the missing seats was my guilty party…not my fault though….I still remember the magic of windsor though…you are a wonderful writer…

Hi Kerry,
did he play so much songs, or is there a medley included?
A great setlist, I hope he comes to Germany soon.
Thank you
Hi DanielD,
He played most of the songs fully but not all of them. The show was over two hours long. I remember he did a medley of Get it Together and Knock on Wood and think he did another but I just can’t remember what it was. I guess I should’ve stopped dancing and written it down
I wish he had played Amazing but I guess I’ll just have to wait until next time. I hope he gets to Germany soon, too!!
Take care!
Kerry
Seal and his band rocked in Boston – still REALLY bummed out that Seal was unable to sing our National Anthem at Fenway… there’s gotta be a way to get him back to Fenway this season – it really is a missed opportunity.
I saw Seal for the first time in Manchester, United Kingdom, in 2004 – but I had spent years listening to Seal… I had a chance to meet him after the show in Manchester and I let him know how his music helped motivate and carry me through a challenging two-year ecclesiastical mission in the Dominican Republic between 1994 and 1996 – he seemed honestly moved by this; he really is a great guy and shows a great deal of respect and humility toward his audience. After the Manchester show I became friends with other fans and have stayed friends with them since – Marty, you reading this man? You’ll really enjoy Seal’s show in Manchester this summer – Marie and I wish we could join you.
Does anyone know the names of the musician’s on Seal’s tour? I can’t remember them.
hey ed i dont remember him bieng moved but hey what do i know.
yes i am reading this
cee ya
buddy
im getting ingrid into the now she likes him
l8ters
Marty, Marty, Marty,
Enjoy the show in Manchester – what else can I say. You have a short memory, man; Seal’s ability to appreciate his fans and their enthusiasm for his music is one of the things that makes him so genuine. Maybe you had one beer too many that night. You must have really missed out on how receptive and appreciative he was when we met him.
In any case, it’s always good to hear from you and Marie and I do wish we could join you in Manchester.
Ed
Hi,
I know the name of the drummer, it’s Steve Sidelnyk. I believe I have read about him that he has worked with Madonna, but I’m not sure about that.
Thanks Daniel!
Ed
Can’t wait to see you this Friday @Foxwoods, Connecticut! Please sing “Touch” my all time favorite SEAL song~~!! Much love to you!
I am still so excited, I have now lost muy voice and oh my aching back, but every second was worth it. Please do not wait so long to come back to us in Boston.
much love respect and gratitude.
I would like to place my order for the live recording of the show in Windsor!
I don’t know how all those layers of music were put together or how the four of you could so perfectly blend your instruments whether acoustic, electric, digital and vocal. I do know it was beautiful, lyrical, ethereal and organic. The words stirred my soul while the rhythm sent me into visceral gyrations I couldn’t control. Like a wonderful elixir for the whole me!
DIVINE in Boston!!! Extraordinary heart, deep spirit and dance moves that make one swoon…thank you Seal!!! My son recently died and I had chosen your version of *People Get Ready* for his paddle-out service…your voice wrapped around his *being*…thank you for the beautiful soulful rendition of your final song of the evening…tears of sheer bliss. Armfuls of gratitude to you for sharing your gift!!! I am forever grateful…
I saw you last night in Boston. I have seen you 9 times, but there was something electric going on last night. It was awesome, better than ever the best ever, and more! I was in front dancing the whole night with my crown on, and you cam right to me, as you have the last 3 times I have seen you.
Your music and your spirit inspire goodness, and I truly love you for that! I would give my right arm to have a redo, so i could soak it all up again. Thank you for the best night ever.
Hey Sue! I was your front row partner last night. It’s interesting to read that you’ve seen Seal so many times and that last night’s show was a powerhouse performance. I am still all vibed up from the incredible energy of last night’s experience. There was definitely something wild and wonderful surging through the Orpheum last night!
Happy B-Day Girl and Many, Many More to come…
Francesca
we all experienced something magical! It was a blast spending time screaming dancing, and having fun with you. Enjoy your picture and the memories. See you next time, we actually tried to go again Friday to the MGM, but schedules would not allow.
Me too! I got right on the web site when I returned home from the concert. I was even looking at the NYC date to see if I could make it. Oh, well. Hopefully he’ll be back this way soon.
Francesca
Thank you, Seal, for a FABULOUS night in Toronto April 4. You were so wonderful when you mentioned there were 3 empty seats in the front row, and that somebody should come and take them… I was lucky enough to get one, and I stood there and danced and loved you all night. Truly, a night I will never forget. Your music is the background of my life; every CD brings me back to a place in time where I was when I was listening to it… The gift of your music is everlasting, and has helped me through tough times, as well as celebrate the great times. Thank you, thank you, thank you. XXOO
Hi, I am the girl who brought the rose I really would of loved a picture with him. This was my first time seeing him and I wish I could see more….Send me your email and I;ll send you the few pictures I have if you like.
Donna
I remember you and the rose! Yes, any pics you have would be GREATLY appreciated. Please send them to demaris@yorku.ca. What a FABULOUS night!!! Thanks so much Donna!!!
Thank you for a wonderful concert in Boston. A fan since 1996- it was everything and more. All the songs were fantastic,the band was great. Crazy was my favorite- you could have sung that song forever- Thank you!
I love your music!!!!!(Touch)
Hello,
I do not know if Seal actually reads the messages posted on his website but I felt like I should post something about tonight’s show in Boston. It was the first time for me to see Seal on stage ad it was better than anything I have ever listened from him. Way better than any CDs I have (even Live from Paris). So I just wanted to say Thank you Seal… And I wont miss an other opportunity to see you on stage! Now it is going hard to sleep!
PS: My only regret would be that I wont be able to see you perform the Duet with Mylene Farmer on stage now I moved to the US!
I keep telling people till you see Seal live there is no way to know how huge a talent he is, and how much he loves his fans. His energy and voice know no limits, never mind the sex appeal. I dont know who is the luckier one in his relationship!
The power and energy of you and your band has no equal. Your fans appreciate your music and also each other; exactly what your music signifies. Thank you for a wonderful evening. (Chicago on April 1st)
Well, I attended your show in Windsor Ont. Friday night, and would have to say it was one of the best “Seal” concerts I’ve been to! I live in the states, and usually see you when you come to Detroit. This was the first time I’ve seen you with the screens and videos playing in the background. VERY nice touch I should say!!! The only complaint I have is the curfew you had, and I wish you would have done a couple more songs off The System album. Other that, it was yet another great performance. “THANKS”!!!!
P.S. You did a version of Bring It On that kicked my ass!!! I was wondering if you were going to put it on an ep, or maybe a bonus track on a single. If not, please put it on SOMETHING lol it blew me away, and I’d love to have it on my I-Pod to workout with.
Thanks for doing what you do, and we look forward to more great stuff from you in the future!
Hi Seal, just wanted to tell you how excited I am about your upcoming East Coast venues! I have seen a number of your concerts, most recently at Westbury Music Fair (the System Tour). I can’t wait to see you in NYC again at Radio City and will also be at the Atlantic City concert this Saturday. Your voice has never been more amazing than it is on Soul, your rendition of “I Can’t Stand the Rain” just gives me chills everytime!
Please make sure to do a few songs from way back in the day (“Violet” and “Deep Water” are two of my favorites) for those of us who have followed your career since your first album. Looking forward to the Tour!
The show in Windsor was completely unexpected. The electronic/dance grooves were outstanding. The first two numbers,while I have no idea what they were absolutely made me want more! I’ve done everything I know to try and figure out their titles and whether or not they were new, old or remixed. Just the same the whole show was so outstanding. Great musicianship by everyone! The lighting added worked so well with your music as well. All around excellent!
He opened with “Human Beings”, from the CD with the same title…sorry, can’t remember what the second one was… he played in Toronto the next night, FABULOUS!!
I attended your show in Toronto on Saturday night and I wanted to let you know that you were amazing. I have been a fan for many years and while I absolutely love your older work – the new was equally satisfying. Your performance was the best birthday present I could have dreamed for. Thanks for the great music and hopefully you will be back to Toronto again soon.
Dear Seal, I am still on the buzz from last night’s concert. What an amazing conert. This was my first time seeing you live. You are a great performer, and your band is amazing. You really connect with them. They really seem to enjoy playing with you. We can feel the energy. And gee, too bad I was in the pit high, because I would have run to get one of those 3 empty in front seats! Man, you rock. Please come back soon to Toronto. I love you! Peace. Julie xxx
I was one of the lucky ones that got the front row seats – AWESOME!! I danced all night!!!
LUCKY YOU! He is such a gentleman.
Did you happen to get any pics? My camera wasn’t working. The girl sitting beside me said she would send me hers, but I haven’t heard from her…. sure would love to re-live the memories with some pics!

Unfortunately, I forgot my camera, but there are some links in youtube

Thanks Julie! Wish I could see the whole concert and enjoy it all over again (it went waaayyyy too fast!!) but a least I can re-live a little… thanks for the tip!
Demaris
Hi I went to see your show last night in Toronto It was fantastic You should come to Montreal.
My wife and I drove up from New York just for your concert and it was EVERYTHING we hoped it would be. I have been a fan since “Crazy” and was thrilled to hear you would be at such and intimate venue. My wife and I had planned to go out to the clubs of Toronto as well, however after such a great experience we elected to go back to the hotel and conclude the evening. As far as we were concern nothing could top your performance. Thank You………
Dear Seal: ¿when a concert in México City? You got a los of fans here.
Thank you.
Felipe
The show last night in Toronto was fantastic. We have been fans in this family since your first record, but this is the first time we have seen you perform. I have to say that while we love listening to your music at home, you are even better live. This is something that, unfortunately, not many artists can claim. Great performance, great band and a great evening altogether. It was my daughter’s (age 13) first concert, and it is one both she and I will never forget. Please come back to Toronto again soon. We will be waiting for you . . .
Hey what a great night!!!!!I have wanted to see you for years. We took out daughter Lola. She loves you. We listen to “Amazing” on our way to school in the morning and she sings. We were in the front row and I thank you for connecting with my 8yr old daughter. What a beautiful talent. I hope all the good energy you give out comes back to you and your family. Have a safe and fun tour and please come back to MSP. Judy,John, and Lola
Tuesday night was the second show I have seen in Minneapolis. It was truly amazing!!!! I have been a fan for a long time. Your presence is captivating along with your soul and music. I was the one that came down the aisle to touch your hand!!! What can I say!!! It was great to be that close. Next time we will get front row seats!!! Come back to Minneapolis!! You are loved!! Thanks to everyone that put the show together and the band. It was truly a thoughtful show that conveyed a warm familiar feeling. Your connection with the audience was great. Love, MB
I saw the show in Minneapolis. It was amazing! Your music always puts me in a better place. You don’t know me but have been with me through so much. Thank you for doing what you do! God Bless.
Hi Seal, I was not at your concert last night, but I can tell from the comments above that you wowed the fans and that is not suprising. I hope to get to at least one of your concerts. Keep up the good works…………………………Love you, Josephine
Still hear your voice from last night in Chicago & I can’t stop smiling. Love that you opened with Human Beings!!! Hope you play Montalvo again cause that was amazing 3 yrs ago.
I was really impressed with the show in Minneapolis. This was my first time seeing Seal and the performance was just simply amazing.
I really liked the mix of music (Soul, System, and the others primarily being I and IV), although I was kinda hoping to hear “Don’t Make Me Wait.” Awesome vocals and band, I liked the musical “tricks” as well…and the one woman who ran down to touch your hand. Hillarious! Seal (and Staff) did a great job with audience control, being personable, very considerate, and keeping the concert exciting but not crazy. Great job, I would pay the 70 dollars to see Seal again!
Hey Buddy, keep up the great work. WIshing you joy and peace, God Bless
Thanks for a *fantastic* show – a great performance! You really connected with us in the audience, and one could tell how everyone appreciated that. I especially appreciated how you held your gaze with my camera lens for a time (I was in the first few rows) – long enough for me to snap a great shot to remember the night by! Enjoy the rest of your journey on tour.
Had a wonderful time at your concert in Chicago this evening! We hope you’ll come back soon!
Great show last night! Wonderful to have you kick off your tour here in Minnesota!
Seal- the concert last night was AMAZING! It was my first time seeing you in concert and it definitely will not be the last. My fiance and I are big fans and we rocked out all night- even when we were sitting
Thanks so much for a great night- what a great break during the work week! Best wishes for the rest of your tour and hope you’ll come back and visit us here in Minneapolis!
Anne Cherek
Hey, I know that you wowed the people on your first night tour. I wish that I could have been there. I do have the DVD of Soul, so when I can’t see you live, I can look at the DVD. Keep up the good work. You are one of a kind and your voice is so special. Take care …………………Love, Josephine
Dear Seal,
I’m Adriane, from Brazil. On your first show in Brazil in 2008 in São Paulo I was there.
I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE you and your work. I’m not used to going to concerts and begging to be received by a singer – but with you I did.
You were so, so gentle to talk to me. During the conversation, I looked at you and started crying. This was a great moment for me.
You know I had a dream in which I was at another concert of yours – but in the USA – and I tried to talk to you…and the when you spotted me- you recognized me like being the crying lady. hehehe.
Well, I hope to be able to watch another concert of yours soon – and I will bed to be received….this time I won’t drink so much wine so as to hold myself together.
Love your news cd.
Wish you all the best
Love
Your biggest fan
Adri
You were amazing in MPLS last night!!! We been listening to you since 1991 and have been waiting a long, long time to see you!! Thank you so much for choosing us to start your new tour. God’s speed to you and your crew for the rest of your tour!! We love you in MPLS!!
GREAT concert last night. I love the “Soul” music, and as you said, you could’ve played for hours and not played all we would have loved to hear. Thanks for stopping here – come back!
Loved the concert last night! Can’t wait to see you next time.
Hello Seal:
I am in Washington DC. I saw something that you were coming here…
But I can’t find it on your site.
I would like to speak with you about a simple program I am doing
on Peace with kids for the initiative.
Love,
Jenna
I attended last night’s show in Minneapolis. Seal was in great voice, the band was awesome, and the lightshow was fab. However, I have a suggestion about the stage set-up which I hope can be considered for subsequent shows on this tour.
Please don’t use that short runway jutting from the stage in venues which have balconies. I was sitting in the first balcony, 4th row at the Orpheum – pretty good seats, I thought. But whenever Seal stepped onto that runway to sing, as he did for over half of the show, he completely disappeared under the lip of the balcony. No one could see him without leaning forward and craning their necks. The sightlines in these old theatres suck enough without this stage setup exacerbating things. Please put Seal back on the stage, where everyone can see AND hear him. Thanks!
We just saw you last night in Minneapolis. What a fabulous show. Your upbeat attitude and lyrics are so refeshing. Love the new soulful sound. Thanks for sharing so much of yourself with us last night at the show.
I saw you last night in Minneapolis. You are awesome. It was one of the best concerts ever.
Just saw Seal in Minneapolis and as usual it was a stunning performance. He peformed for about 2 hours and had a great mix from all of the albums. It doesn’t get much better than Seal live. If you haven’t seen him live, it is something you must do!
Hi Seal! I was actually on the SAME flight as you from Los Angeles this morning
I wanted to go up to you and say hi, but I also did not want to invade your privacy!!! I have to say I was so emotional seeing you. I couldnt believe it was you!!! You are SUCH a great person,father and inspiration. I am here for work but If I had known you were going to be playing here, I would have bought tickets. I wish you nothing but SUCCESS and HAPPINESS!!! You are such a great person. I do hope I can see you soon in concert..
Tina
