This was the last date of the tour celebrating thirty years of Seal's first and second albums (although they came out thirty-two and twenty-nine years ago respectively...) and the star treated the audience packed in the venerable art-deco theater to a veritable barrage of hits and classics from that era.
Opening with Crazy, which operated like a bridge between his support act and his own set, the sexagenarian singer proceeded to go through every emotion in the spectrum over the course of a ninety-minute show which was as emotional as it was funky.
It's incredible how little his voice has changed, in fact he sounds just like he did three decades ago. On ballads or on groovier numbers, his silky timbre was the evening's main attraction. Always the affable frontman, Seal spent a sizable portion of the gig singing from the audience.

Backed by an ace band led by bassist/producer/musical director Trevor Horn, Seal brought his opening act back on stage for the last song, an emotional rendition of Love's Divine from Seal IV. Hopefully it won't be too long before he returns to the city of Lights, with a new album under his belt maybe?
