Seal in Concert

We all know how great Seal is and today we have a great review of the Soul tour on newsday.com.

“Seal’s music is understated, ultra-cool and intricately laced with soul, funk, and energy. His multi-layered voice is fully charged with emotion and conviction. The English superstar has unforced sex appeal and a killer stage presence. When Seal sings live, he still sounds like Seal, only better. His voice can shift between techno, soul, R&B, and rock melodies in a 90 minute span without a single break.”

  1. yeah!! i gotta say you’re amazing, you’re so admired and criticised at the same time by the paparaziz or something…….but the truth is in the whole world,Samuel, even here in Africa where am found and i live,a contonent in which you’ve never dreamed of spending a day in it,but what you dont know is that you got more than 500 million fans just here in africa.what am insinuating here is that you’re as amazing as the album ‘AMAZING’ and i want you to know that am even sometimes called by your name,you know its a warm feeling that not every one gets the opportunity to feel,am greatful for what becus of you i’ve become,what i resemble now that am 19yrs old, the kind of family life i should be careful to manage,yeah! Samuel am greatful, hoping to see you when God destines…………….you’re greatest fan and also eventually,that dont get me wroung, the NEXT KING OF SOUL?as everyone here considers you,AFTER YOU AM PROUD TO SAY I LL BE THE NEXT…………..PEACE…….godpac

    Seal’s concert last night at Chastain Park in Atlanta was so awesome. In ranging across new songs, his old materials, old school soul and spirituals, he provided an evening of entertainment and inspiration that wowed the very diverse audience. Since I know every word of the ‘94 album, I was hoping I would have the opportunity to sing along and get up and into it as Chastain uniquely allows, but I wasn’t expecting songs from my Southern childhood and my teens in the 70s. The backdrop visuals were impressive, but even more impressive were the heart and soul that Seal puts into his performance. (It was a treat to get a glimpse of Hedi also!)

  4. Saying what we all know here :-)

    I played a flying visit to NYC over Easter and glanced longingly at the Radio City Music Hall knowing that in a couple of days it would be ringing to Seal’s Soul. It was hard leaving New York for a variety of reasons not least of which was having to wait until June to see Seal in London!

  5. Debra Pirolo says:

    Seal….I have been enjoying your ‘Amazing” Music for over 15 years! You are a Beautiful and Talented Person. I had the Pleasure of seeing your Incredible Concert @ The Borgata, Atlantic City New Jersey..4th Row. Did you Hear me continually yell from The Audience…” We Love You Seal “…Although My son and I are both born and raised in New York…We choose The Event Center because we felt it would be a more Intimate Venue…We Wanted to Be Close To You! Seal you are absolutely…The Best!!! ” We Love You…Seal “

    • I so hope your shouts were between songs. There’s nothing worse than the screaming fan who waits for the quiet moment to shout so they can be heard (usually in the middle of the quiet song!).

      • Debra Pirolo says:

        I absolutely agree.. Yes the ” Shouts ” of Love and Admiration were during the time (s) when Seal spoke to (us) The Audience..Certainly not during a Song.. : )

  9. Seal fan forever! says:

    Your concert in St. Pete last night was fabulous!!!! But, what else would we expect? Seal, you are a very classy man. Loved your interaction with your fans. Please come back to see us again!

    • Matt says:

      Hi
      Can you give me an idea what the set list was like? What % of the songs that Seal played were from the new album?

      Thanks!!!!!!

  10. Heather says:

    Seal,

    Thank you for a wonderful show at Chastain! For my 40th birthday, I’ve told everyone I want Seal to sing to me. My stars must be aligned because you held my hand and looked me in the eyes and sang to me. What a wonderful gift! Thank you!

  11. AMY says:

MANY THANKS FOR MAKING OUR NITE SO WONDERFUL……MANY WELL WISHES TO YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY…..

  12. Helen says:

    Hi Seal, Saw you in NYC on the spur of the moment, great front row seats. It will remain a favorite memory for me. I am from Ireland and have lived in the USA for 20 years I could relate to your feelings about America and what it stands for. Good luck with baby number four. Thank God you have help. As the mother of three boys, its tremendous fun but tiring.

    Dream on…

  13. Marianna says:

    Hi Seal & Heidi,
    I am so happy to hear you are expecting #4 best wishes and many many blessings to you and your family!

    Heidi I love Project Runway and I am a huge fan!

    Seal you are the greatest! Your music is my inspiration through life’s daily endeavors. Your melodic voice moves my every being, my soul!

    My husband surprised me with tickets to you April 10 show in CT and it was FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABULOUS! We were are blessed to have had such an opportunity! “Many thanks” to My Love for the wonderful surprise and “Many Thanks” to you, Seal, for the most memorable evening!

    Marianna

  14. Paul says:

    Great show at Radio City Music Hall. Great venue but I had no use for my seat, I wanted to be up and dancing the whole time. See if you could play venues with a open floor or general admission area. Great set list and the crowd was real cool. Thanks for the greate evening. Seen you twice, will certainly return again.

  15. Jocelyn says:

    Hi Seal,

    After many many many years since “crazy” got my attention in my home country Venezuela and after buying all your CDs, listening to your music, enjoying your videos……. I finally saw your face in person, heard your voice and felt your impresive and pure energy!!! What a night at the Radio City, thank you for a great performance taking your fans troughout all your CDs. By the way, man you know how to dance, great!!!. You’re right this is the best country ever and I’m happy to see how fortunate you and Heidi are to have each other and realize your american dream. Please, sing again and again and again!! you’re magic and I absolutely love you!!! Your fan forever!

  16. Carla says:

    Seal,
    I saw your concert Sunday eveing in St Pete and it was a special celebration of Life for me .. I had a cardiac arrest exactly 1 year ago and had CPR given to me for 50 minutes before being revived! So after lots of recovery,here I am STILl loving your music even more … Your concert came on the perfect day for me!! My husband was not as familiar with your music but is now a fan and he also loved it (not as much as me!!!) and the show. It was a special night and I never quit singing along and dancing .. we were about 9 rows back but I thought we were lucky enough to get asile seats (they had “seat natzies”) because I hardley ever sat down. I couldnt quit smiling, and for that, I THANK YOU!!!

  17. Peter Rodriguez says:

    Hey..Seal..Iam going yet again to see your awesome show tonight at the Filmore in Miami Beach. I am taking my daughter this time….We will be second row Pit. Dead center..See you there brother.iam sure it will be another great show…Love you man….God bless….

    Peter

  18. Nicole says:

    I couldn’t find anyone to go with me, but there was no way I was going to miss him in concert. I bought a ticket the night before, for the show in St. Pete. I have been a Seal fan from day one, and will be til I die! It’s 3 days after the concert, and I’m still reflecting. Besides being one of the sexiest men alive, he was phenomenal!!!! He really feeds off of the audience. There’s no doubt he’s performing for us. Yeah, Quentin caused a bit of a stir, but I’m envious he got an autograph. Most of all, I love the diversity he attracts. Looking through the crowd, and seeing all different colors and ages, that was beautiful!!

    • marjan says:

      hi nikolas i am marjan from creec but living in canada i so agree with u a bout seal i like u becuse of that have good weeknd

  19. Peter Rodriguez says:

    Saw the Miami Beach show..Seal you were great as usual. You held my little daughters hand and sang to her…your basist gave her a guitar pic. She had a night to remember….thank you so much for the memories….I wish I could make it to another show..I know you dont tour too often…you will be missed. Enjoy your family and God bless you and your family….And the new little one on the way. Love ya brother……

    Peter

  20. Monique (Blondie) says:

    Saw the Miami Beach show!!!! I went alone and had the time of my life!!! I saw Peter’s daughter and her special moment and I, too, got a chance to shake Seal’s hand! He asked me how I was doing and I thought I was going to fall out and die!!! I felt like I was 14 again! This was the most enjoyable evening I have had in a very long time! I am so glad I had the opportunity to attend this concert! It was well worth the money!

    Seal, you are the BEST!!!! I can’t wait to see you in concert again!!!!!

    Your Number 1 fan!!!!!

    Monique

    • Sue Nisbett says:

      you must be his number 1 fan in Miami, because I have the rest of the east coast as my territory! 20 years of following and loving this mans music and style.

      • Monique says:

        LOL ! Well Sue, I guess we have to agree to disagree! I am CERTAIN that I am his number 1 fan!!!!! I’ve been following him since first seeing the “crazy” video at 14 years old ( I am now turning 36)! Anyway, it’s just awesome to know that Seal’s contribution to the world has had such a tremendous impact on so many people around the world! As a Seal fan, I know I sit in great company!
        We must meet at the next seal concert (on the east coast)… then we can determine who’s the biggest fan truly!!!! LOL!

        Be great Sue and thanks for the reply!
        Monique

  21. Blandine says:

    Dearest Seal,

    Last night was memorable !!!!!!!
    It was the first time that my husband Rick and I took our 4 years old daughter, Zoe to one of your concert.
    I was born in Paris and met my half Italian, half Cuban, American,born in Spain husband in Miami.When we met at 19 , he serenaded me with your songs and we both ever since had been amazing fans of yours.
    Last night was incredible!
    Being able, all 3 of us, to be there, singing and dancing with our Zoe! passing on your music to another generation.

    We love you! God bless your family! And congratulation on your new baby!

    Blandine

  22. Fernando says:

    I flew from Honduras just for the Miami show. First row all night. It was my bday present and will not ever forget it.. AMAZING!!!

  23. Helen says:

    Last night made me feel as if I was floating in the air! Seal you know how to make a person feel good through your wonderful instrument…..your voice. Since I heard you about 15 years ago when I met my husband….I fell in love with your music. Thank you for a great concert….I wish it could of lasted……hope to see you again.

    Thanks!!
    Helen

  24. jacqueline says:

    Monique I did to, what a fabulous singer, he reminds me of Teddy Pendergrass a sexy R&B singer of the late 70 and 80’s.

    I aslo went alone, my husband got sick at the last minute and was sorry he missed the show. I’ve love Seal’s music and thrilled to finally saw him live!

  25. Gina K Davis says:

    Thank you Seal, for the wonderful concert last weekend (4-8-09) in Atlanta at Chastain Park. You music really means alot to me and I was thrilled to finally see you live!

    Thank you so much!
    Gina :)

  26. Cecile says:

    Thank you too Seal for a fantastic concert in Miami. It’s not everyday that I can see an artist so full of live, hope and love. I felt moved and happy.

  27. marjan says:

    hi seal i hope see you soon in canada i am from creec but i live in canada… your voice is amazing for me i like you so much but i found you so late becuse of my eage mybe i cant writing good but i try say to you my feel i love your voice

  28. What a euphoric magical night in Biloxi, MS. Seal’s concert was phenomenal. The man radiates energy into the air. Through his voice, movements and music he invites you in. He plays to the crowd in a way that is almost indescribable, what you witness and hear is a moving experience. You can feel how much he loves to entertain.

    I didn’t know if Little Levi Krystosek would sit still for the whole show, he’s only 3. Five minutes into it, I could tell how much Levi was loving it. He sat in my lap. We had the best seats with the perfect view. (thank you Richard & SEAL) Levi swayed and bopped to the lights and sound. When SEAL would throw his electrifying hand up in the air while belting out the most amazing sounds, Levi was waving his hands in the air too. I know that Levi will remember this night, it was truly unforgettable.

    SEAL’s latest album is SOUL, it’s a must have. The music touches you, right down into your soul. From 3 to 93, it didn’t matter your age in that room last night, you were sure to experience an uplifting good time. From Seal’s comments on our southern charm, his teasing of Mark, the guitarist from Houma, Louisiana, and his compliments on the diversity of the crowd at the show, he was real. Seal, you are truly a beautiful man, right down into your soul. I know because when you sing, you open up and let everyone in. God Bless you my new friend. I wish you, Heidi, Leni, Henry, Johan and the little one on the way all the happiness in the world.

    Thank you. Peace & Smiles~ Dona Krystosek (Levi’s Ma)

  29. Angela Yegyayan says:

    So excited about show in Houston tonight! Will be my 4th time to see Seal. Bringing 2 “newbies” with me though. See you tonight Seal! Much love, Angela

  30. Tanya says:

    Thank you Seal for the beautiful song ‘People get ready’ I was able to listen through 94.7 newsletter. I listen to it over & over again and I wish I waas in that choir.

    Tanya

  31. Ryan says:

    seal: I went to your concert and biloxi,ms at the beau rivage resort, I’ve always love your music every since 1994 when my ex girl friend hip me on to your style of music, your show was fantastic i drove from new orleans just to see you live and it was the best concert i’ve been to and a long time, keep up the good work and may god continue to bless you and your family.

    Ryan “Rhino”

  32. Angela Yegyayan says:

    Yet another fabulous show here in Houston! You are always so wonderful with your fans and so gracious. I was one row back from the stage and it was amazingly close and personal. Looking forward to the next tour already. Until then… Much love and blessings, Angela

  33. Brian Hall says:

    What a fantastic show last night 4-25-09 Houston, Tx. You are truly a gifted and inspirational singer. It was my first show. Hurry back!!

  34. Beth says:

    Thank you so much for your performance in Biloxi. I have been a fan since 1991. Your music has inspired me and has meant so much as I lost my spouse in 2004. ‘Prayer for the Dying’ gave me some insight on my life and the “life carries on” verse hit me hard. I continue to listen to your music on a daily basis and my new husband is now a listener of your music. We attended your show at the Beau Rivage and had the pleasure of sitting quite close to you at dinner. I only wish I could have told you myself how wonderful you are and how thankful I am to you. Thank you so much for your caring, inspirational, and motivating lyrics and music. I am one that has truly been touched and blessed by you.

  35. Patricia says:

    This is a shout out from your fellow Seal fanatics that all rushed the stage at our Houston show last night! Truly unbelieveable! My poor husband stayed back at our seats the rest of the night but he knew how much this meant to all of us fanatics and what a once in a lifetime experience this was for me! To actully reach out and in return be acknowledged with a warm smile and locked eyes-you sang to me to hold on to the love and I certainly will always remember that moment! My heart is all a flutter just thinking of it! Heidi is such a lucky woman and congratualtions on the addition to your loving family! Best of luck on your remaining tour & Keep the music coming!!!

  36. Dawn says:

    SeaI,

    Thank you for the most wonderful show that I’ve ever attended in MY LIFE!!!

    I went to the Houston show on Saturday(4/25/9) and have nothing but gerat things to say about it. I had such a wonderful time. Your music is wonderful, the setup was great, and the message you send is amazing. There was a true feeling of peace and unity filling the building and the crowd was going wild the entire night.

    I also went alone but had a marvelous time with the people sitting around me. The best part was when I got to dance in the front of the stage…total highlight of my life!!!

    Thank you again for a wonderful show and we can’t wait to see you back in Houston.

    Dawn

  37. Betsy says:

    Saw the concert in Houston Saturday night…Seal, you are the best! I find your music to be inspiring and uplifting…..but, what impressed me the most is how generous you were with the fans. Shaking hundreds of hands, smiling and reaching out to fans throughout the arena to include everyone…..I was most impressed. thank you and hurry back!!!

  38. MonaDee says:

    I meant to post this earlier…better late than neva. I went to the Seal concert at Merriweather Post in Columbia, Maryland and had a fantastic time. It was a lil’ chilly and raining, but we showed up and showed out! This was my first time seeing him in concert and I can’t wait to see him next year.

    P.S. Another great place in the Maryland area is the The Music Center at Strathmore in Bethesda, Maryland. It’s not as big as Merriweather, but the acoustic sound in the Music Center is awesome. He’d have to schedule at least 2 shows…YAYYYYYY!

  39. Hazel Bune says:

    Seal,
    Austin’s concert last night filled my heart with inspiration. Your “Soul” concert is by FAR the best !!!! My husband and I will go to another concert when you come back!!!! AWESOME.!!!!
    Hazel

  40. jimmy Earl says:

    Seal,
    You and the band were on in Austin last night! Great Show. Love’s Divine was especially touching.
    Loved all the new Soul songs too. Curtis was surely smiling down on you when you closed with “People Get Ready”.
    Best to you and your family.
    Much love.
    Jimmy

  41. Kynna says:

    After years of wanting to see your show I finally cought it last night in Austin. It exceeded any expectations I could have had. I smiled the whole night!

  42. Laura says:

    Last night’s concert in Austin was one of the reasons why my husband and I moved to Austin. This city is a great venue to enjoy singers like Seal. He delivered great music with lots of soul, and the best vocals in the music world. He has so much to offer to those that seek inspiration in music.

    Thank you for giving us wondereful music and sending us home feeling good about the changes we are going through.

    Laura

  43. Ben Isaac says:

    Seal

    Love you man. I first became a fan hearing your song Crazy in a trailer for the Basketball Diaries, and then of course Kiss from a Rose, which has always meant a great deal to me.

    I got the nerve to come to the front of the stage just as Rose was performed and got to shake your hand. Your magic sir.

    xo

  44. LCM says:

    As mentioned eariler, Seal gives his all in live performances. When you think he’s going to let go of your hand- he doesn’t. Our teenager loved his first concert, the bar has been set amazingly high. Your music is timeless, Seal- happiness always.

  45. Renee says:

    Great show in Albuquerque. I didn’t know your music very well, but tagged along with friends and enjoyed the concert!
    Thank you for the long set, the energy, the band, your kindness to the fans, the handshakes.

  46. Fernando says:

    Hey Seal…. I have such great pictures of you and with you from the Miami show….is there anyway they can be published in the Facebook fan site or on this page? Being there was absolutely a dream come true. I have all your albums and have loved your music forever. I know you hear “I am your number 1 fan” all the time, I don’t know what number I am, but to give you an idea I am tattooing you in my back and I flew from Honduras just for the Miami show as my birthday present….. The right life, Lost my faith, Dont cry, Still love remains, Human Beings, Love’s Divine and your latest version of If you don’t know me by now are just my top favorite, but you are the only artist I can just put PLAY to ALL your music and don’t FWD on not one song. You are, as you say… AMAZING!!

  47. Laura says:

    I am seeing you tomorrow night in Oakland, CA….

    CANNOT WAIT!

    Look for me..I’ll be the blonde Mama with tears of joy streamin’ down her face!!

  48. LCM says:

    Our family attended the Austin concert, our 3rd Seal one. Please keep Austin on your tour lineup for next time, thanks!

  49. ladybugbarrier says:

    We are seeing SEAL tonight and I feel like a giddy teen ager. I cannot wait to see you SEAL….You are absolutely amazing and I am so looking forward to hearing your beautiful voice. It just gives me chills to hear you live and your song writing is so true to my heart!!! WHOOO HOOOO I am seeing SEAL tonight!

  50. Jeanne Korn says:

    My husband and I were at your Oakland show last night, and were very disappointed. Are we the only ones expecting LIVE music at your concert? So much of it was pre-recorded and too electronic. I thought your R&B set would actually include real musicians onstage. It was like karaoke night! We actually walked out — the first show we ever left early. That said, thank yo for coming to Oakland, and for appearing at our beautiful newly-renovated Fox Theater

  51. Laura S says:

    YOU ROCKED it last night at the Fox Theatre in Oakland. I have seen you LIVE 3 previous times and this was by far your BEST SHOW ever. YOU were on FIRE last night…ON FIRE!

    I love the sound the new band gives you….I loved your medley’s…I loved WHIRLPOOL…my favorite from last night… I LOVED that you spoke with ‘Ella’.

    It was CLEAR to me that you were having a wonderful time…you looked like you were LOVING it up there.

    THAT venue was fantastic….LOEVED it…LOVED you…

    Last night you said it has been a privledge to be able to sing for a living…Kind Sir, it has been a privledge to listen and see you all these years. Thank you for sharing your gift with me.

    And please..thank your family for sharing their Papa with us.

    Peace and Love to you and your family.

  52. Patricia says:

    I had a great time yesterday in Oakland, Seal you are amazing!!!! I love the energy, have fun in LA tonight and I hope you get a good rest and renew your energy for the rest of you tour.

    I like you very much!!! God bless you and your family!

    Patricia

  53. Diane says:

    I got my ticket for Amnéville!!!! End of the world??? ……….very Northern-East of France on the border with Luxembourg……… July 11th will be THE day. I looked at the wonderful pictures done by Steve Huff. I read the whole story on his website; So many things went through my mind, the love for architecture, photography and this wonderful voice which I keep listening every single day in my car since this concert in Luxembourg last year, I cannot disconnect anymore, everything is so beautiful and easy when staying in this atmosphere I love sooo much, and imaginating the concert, this special moment before and after……..which makes you decide to buy a ticket immediately………… THANK YOU SEAL

  54. Amy says:

    My husband and I live in Austin, but drove to Grand Prarie for the concert because we bought tickets for that show before we knew you were coming to Austin. The show in Grand Prarie was absolutely amazing. I just wish we would have come the night before to see the show in Austin. My husband has been to many concerts and said by far it was one of the best shows he’d ever seen. Your voice is like an angel, we were so blessed to enjoy you and your bands awesome show. Thanks for coming to Texas. We look forward to seeing you again when you come back.

    Much Love & God’s Blessings,
    Amy
