Seal was absolutely stunning at his Sunday night show in Dallas.
At 8 p.m. sharp, The Buggles' vinyl record, which was displayed on the backdrop of the Music Hall at Fair Park, began to spin to the opening bars of the group's best-known song, “Video Killed the Radio Star.”
It’s amazing how many songs you can forget over time. Horn led the audience through Buggles singles such as “Living in a Plastic Age," “L Street,” “I’m a Coward” and their signature song foretelling the death of radio — all of them were performed with origin stories in between, including one about how former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson recognized him as “the chappy that wrote that song.
And at just 30 minutes, the set was over and the band gathered for a bow to an enthusiastic standing ovation.replaced Horn on the stage during a quick set change. Seal’s presence was still felt during the walk-in music as “Southern Cross” from one of his favorite bands, Crosby Stills & Nash, played alongside Joni Mitchell.At 9:03 p.m. the room went black, and a curtain bearing the singer's image instead showed a montage of images and videos from across the singer’s career. At 9:07 p.m.
From the outset, it was clear that Seal was no longer interested in a track-for-track retelling of his first two albums. Seal came to Dallas to put on an exciting show. Seal removed his coat to the hoots and hollers of the audience, picked up a guitar and addressed the audience, asking how they've been. And after letting the audience know how great and gorgeous they were, he began a stripped-down, acoustic version of “Whirlpool.”
Watching those singing along at a Seal show is in itself an amazing pastime. It’s bearded dudes in flannel, white women you’d be tempted to call “Karen,” it’s women of color dressed to the nines, it’s ushers who can’t help but sing, it’s an older crowd who knows and a younger crowd who is finding out.
