Lovers Live

Lovers Live is Sade’s first ever live album, recorded on the 2001 Lovers Live Tour. It was released in the United States on 5 February 2002 and in the United Kingdom on 18 February 2002 by Epic Records. Covering the entire breadth of Sade’s career, this album contained unique live interpretations of 13 classic Sade tracks. The recording was taken from two concerts, held respectively at the Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim, California, and at the Great Western Forum in Inglewood, California.

The album was accompanied by a 22-track DVD (which went platinum in the US) which featured an entire concert, plus the King Of Sorrow video, and a tour photo gallery. The live version of the track Somebody Already Broke My Heart was released as a single from the album.

Lovers Live debuted and peaked at number ten on the U.S. Billboard 200, and became Sade’s first album to miss the top twenty of the UK Albums Chart. The album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America on 7 March 2002 with U.S. sales of 562,000 copies, while the DVD was certified platinum on 30 January 2003 for sales in excess of 100,000 copies.
