New Orleans is a hub for live music...especially the french quarter....these were probably mostly local people.....we don't appreciate the great city we have until it gets taken away.
can't believe these pedestrians....I would walk across the street just to hear this, I def couldn't just walk by and act like someone's not doing one of the better Sade covers i've ever heard... they should play in NY
i actually saw sade's new orleans concert on 9/1/01...this is truly the next best thing to having sade singing it herself in the middle of the french quarter...great musicians & a talented vocalist!!!
paconot, even if this acoustic version is better than the original studio recording, it can NOT compare to hearing the lady sing it live herself...check out the version on the lovers live dvd with the passionate guitar solo by ryan waters
my god! they would be a nationwide hit! i bet it's due to financial problems that they can't get publicity. or, even better, they just play for fun and they don't care abour money, just making good music!
thanks for posting this, im really surprized people are just walking by like nothings going on. this is really amazing, wish i coulda been there for the whole set...

Well, if they were on the streets of London, then Sade would probably see them. I agree, She would be proud.

IEDUSMC, you are very correct. It's Decatur St., I think. But yeah, it's Cafe Du Monde. They do have some excellent street musicians down there.

Dan their acoustic version on the streets sounds better than the original studio recording. I would purchase a CD from them.

Is it a crime? Yes, it is a crime for these people to be walking by not realizing the magic these musicians were creating.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen in my life. If I had $10,000 to spare it would of been theirs.
