[@rustykuntz94]

Sting's voice has serious mileage on it now at 65 but it still has the character that's unmistakably Sting. Legend.

[@herbertvonzinderneuf8547]

Strictly speaking, of course, the first song is called "Dancing With The Moonlit Knight".

[@tealab]

I'm ashamed because I know better! I stand corrected... but it seems late to change the title. I'll think on it. And thanks!

[@hpatss4966]

In live Genesis performances after Gabriel left when they played the intro of dancing like this, they referred to it just as selling England by the pound. So technically with Genesis he’s correct

[@vcp93]

WOW!!! ...and Vinnie on the drums? There's a crap-ton of talent up on that stage right now. Enjoy it kids, they don't build them like this anymore. Thanks for posting! 👽🖖"Na-nu"

[@GuaranteedEtern]

Sting does a nice job here on the intro to Dancing With The Moonlight Knight

[@zenpaganwarrior]

Gotta love these two together -- seems like a total no-brainer! Love Peter singing backup and playing keyboards on Sting's song. So humble, Peter. btw yes, the first song is "Dancing With the Moonlit Knight" from the album Selling England By the Pound (1973) by Genesis.

[@Darkfatheroftheuniverse]

Didn't know that Sting would cover this Progrock-Classic

[@steevidrums]

I didn't know for sure until it zoomed in, but as soon as the drum started I thought "VINNIE!!!" The mark of an amazing drummer, plays a few notes and you get it straight away!

[@UCS0608]

He's amazing, but I really thinks he's actually doing a great Stuart Copeland here.... And that's what this song needs! ;)

[@ramleeoak9299]

Vinnie does a pretty convincing Stewart Copeland. That opening from Selling England was priceless.

[@janmcmanus3612]

Copeland has a unique style of drumming. A little next to Manu Katchè's way.

[@stub2022]

Vinnie Colaiuta's a monster!!

[@marcofabbri969]

Never, NEVER, in my life did I ever expect to hear Sting sing DWTMK...and then segue into Message. But then...months later the US elected a mafia Don. What a year, heh?

Welsh Simon Bigly!

[@katadam2186]

Not the first. Just one named Don

[@daveanderson8011]

Everyone knows what a brilliant solo artist peter is, I for one would have liked to hear him sing songs from his genesis days, especially in this situation

[@dominiquelabonte3514]

Selling england it's the name of the albulm, the first song on it it'S Dancing in the moonli, all the album are a storie, so start to listen Dancing with the moonlit knight

[@hpatss4966]

Hey y’all who keep saying it’s called dancing with the moonlit knight. You’re right. The whole 9 minute track is called dancing with the moonlit knight. The first minute is referred to as selling England by the pound.

[@timsouthern2100]

The album is called ‘Selling England by the Pound’ . The opening track is called DWTMK, and the opening lyrics to the song contain the phrase selling England by the pound but it is never referred to this as such.

[@NiravShah1982]

"Dancing With the Moonlit Knight" is the name of the song.

[@ensayoparalavida]

Fue un gran grupo, la voz de la victoria de cartagena pasaba rock progresivo en la época del 73 al 78 maravilloso y gracias a ellos conocií algunos grupos Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dreams, nos tocó un gran tiempo del rock, música muy bien elaborada. A la salida de Gabriel y luego de Hacket el grupo cambio, y para muchos de nosotros dejó de tener sentido.

[@Lia-A-Eastwood]

Paaallleaaaaaaazzeeee do that show in Europe!

[@doggyrock742]

I'm dreaming ! Sting singing Genesis !!!

[@marksangster6690]

Love this, but why was Peter Gabriel just standing behind the snack bar? Looked like a great gig! (Not taking the piss...I regularly listen to old Genesis and PG’s solo stuff.) Amazing work he’s done.

[@joegibbs2508]

I was there, Great night. But, I saw Sting 2018 with Shaggy in the Santa Barbara Bowl and that concert was even better!

[@legitibitmaster3264]

Wheyyyy gotta love double drums by vinnie colaiuta & manu katche

[@chavalinpantera2698]

Génesis is the best band. More than police

[@janmcmanus3612]

Of course !! Impossible to compare . Try to perform a Police song...than try with a Genesis' one...!!

[@domenicobilotta1172]

Viceversa Selling England by the pound is the name of the storical album by generis

[@tealab]

I erred. That's a great album though! :)

[@giannitornatora3984]

Peter perche' non fai un bel tour (anche da solo) e ci canti il repertorio vecchio coi Genesis... Sarebbe un sogno.....❤

[@marcok.6734]

Magari....e' il mio sogno. Poi lui ama molto L'Italia, sarebbe un evento spettacolare. E dopo quello che e' capitato avrebbe ancora più valore per noi fans Italiani non credi?

[@janmcmanus3612]

@@marcok.6734 Impossibile. Phil è molto malato, malattia degenerativa...nelle poche date che fece qualche anno fa alla batteria c'era suo figlio Nicholas. P.S. Peter ama l'Italia e ci vive pure, in Sardegna , ad Arzachena. Come potrebbe non amare il paese che per primo riconobbe il talento e la magia dei Genesis ? Il paese che decretò la loro fortuna ?? Nel"71 dopo l'uscita di Nursery Crime, date le scarse vendite in patria si stavano per sciogliere. Poi arriva una notizia : Nursery Crine è terzo nella Hit Parade italiana. Il resto è storia.

[@marcok.6734]

@@janmcmanus3612 il commento di Gianni Tornatore si riferisce a Peter Gabriel in Italia con un concerto solista. So che Phil Collins e' molto malato ma e' anche molto forte psicologicamente, continua a combattere, e anche se non suona più la batteria ho visto alcuni video live dove canta, e la voce e' sempre bellissima.

@@stevedrums1675 Are you serious?

[@christopherjoyce3586]

Yes, well the purpose of this tour was to not only play together but to play a few of each other's songs, which is why Sting sang a few of Peter's songs, and Peter sang a few of Sting's songs, and they both sang on a few of each others songs... But, I guess you had to be there, which you fools apparently weren't.... Hollywood Bowl 2016, a great night, to be sure! And if you're interested, here's the entire concert that they played in Chicago; enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXSVhJiLn6mnp80

[@bsdml]

To those bitching about the spoken intro at the beginning, sorry if it pissed you off, but...Seriously, I have absolutely NO problem with Sting pausing to make a brief comment about Brexit here, especially since it apparently had, for him, personal relevance to the next two songs. Doesn't mean you have to agree with him. If it freaks you out, try to remember that Rock 'n Roll musicians have been waxing political behind the mic for at least a half a century now, and will continue to do so in the next decade beyond, and so on. There are countless examples, from The Byrds and Jefferson Airplane to The Clash, to PIL, and so on...Doesn't mean you have to agree with everything they say. But at the end of the day, people should be able to say whatever the f*ck they want-on, or off stage. The only exception I see is if the artist stops the show cold, to make the fans sit thought a long, rambling political speech, and completely kills the mood. But that RARELY ever happens *knock on wood

[@ernesthernia418]

Good point. The odd comment is fair enough. Unlike the last U2 tour where Bonio made it a feature. Not much point in preaching to the converted and fans didn't pay to hear a party political broadcast.

[@ThisIsReadyMade]

The song is called “Dancing With The Moonlit Knight...”

Nice to see this from Sting. But maybe two audience members recognized one of the greatest classic-era Genesis songs.

[@1thommyberlin]

Ok, I love Peter, Vinnie, Sting, in short everyone workin' Buuuuuuuuttttt...... I can't help noticing there's 20 MILL worth of hired talent up there sounding not as good as the Police OR Genesis. *sigh*

[@JohnPrepuce]

You know I agree with you. Drums were overplaying, especially on Message in a Bottle. Sting sounded lackluster. Peter Gabriel might as well have not been there. Also Sting's ridiculous comment at the beginning.

[@OVI-Wan-Kenobi-8]

Better than selling England by the Euro ...

[@OVI-Wan-Kenobi-8]

*****​​ I don't know why Sting feels the need to bitch and moan about the Brexit vote at the start of this song during every concert on this tour. Brexit is democracy at work at its finest. Britain has spoken and made its choice, but for some reason Sting feels the need to ridicule it just because he doesn't like the outcome of the vote. He has become a liberal elitist who is so ultra rich that he is completely out of touch with the issues faced by commoners who he views as less intelligent than him. Typical liberal elitist.

[@OVI-Wan-Kenobi-8]

***** It's always funny when it's true.

[@OVI-Wan-Kenobi-8]

Sting repeated this exact same tripe about Brexit on the last night of Rock Paper Scissors tour in Edmonton which I was lucky enough to record and uploaded on my channel. I heard it was the first time Peter Gabriel sang the intro to "Dancing With the Moonlit Knight in over 30 years.

[@francescodarcangeli4197]

It's called having an opinion and voicing it. Last time I checked, it's exactly part of what democracy is about.

[@rmartin7558]

Nailed it. Sting's a douche. He hasn't had any balls since that first Police record.

[@trevorlack630]

How dare he comment on a country that he deserted. But in all fairness it’s a good cover

[@PeterMBeaumont]

Wow, Bob Geldof on there too....

[@shaunsteele6926]

great but why isn't Peter singing his own song?

They performed together and covered songs by each other. The whole tour was about that.
