Sting : "Fortress around your heart" from "The dream of the blue turtles" album , live during the Nothing like the sun tour (1st leg in south America) in River Plate stadium , Buenos Aires , Argentina on 11th december 1987.

Steve Coleman on saxophone instead of Brandford Marsalis during the 1st leg of the tour in south America.

[@SXI96]

that crowd is amazing, the 80's were such a great time, this song is just perfect, great performance

[@cuki1111]

I was there!!!!!!! Dec 11 1987 in Buenos Aires, Argentina , I was one of the 60.000 souls singing with this genius. Amazing! unforgetable!!!!!!!

[@b-man1232]

2:14 is the coolest crowd angle that I've ever seen!! I've rewatched it like 50-times now. The crowd energy combined with the chorus is INSANE!!!

[@ImpartiallySpeaking]

Argentina was always very special. Phenomenal reactions from the crowd

[@RoRiodd]

I remember watching this on TV when I was almost a teenager. I remember being alone in the living room, watching it, and feeling excited and happy. No one else understood how you felt and thought it was crazy. But thanks to stuff like this, I knew I needed to see more of the world, and I'm grateful for all the music that helped me see that there was so much more life than my small town, tiny town. I am glad I did not comply with all those who laughed at me. I love this. Remembering what I was and where I am now.

[@daweller]

Big respect for that Argentinian crowd... almost moshing to this great Sting song.

[@paulstanitz2723]

The chorus is a stunning piece of music in any language.

[@claudiafernandez8200]

I cannot even imagine the kind of good vibes having a crowd like this reacting to a mellow and catchy song like this

[@solebervejillo5638]

Yo estuve allí, saltando como todos en la cancha!! Sting es lo más grande que hay!! Qué momento maravilloso!!

[@arthurmc3929]

Que hermoso debió ser , bien por ti!!! STING NUMBER ONE

[@sergioruiz-mier9163]

Yo también. Que noche genial!

[@liliann7725]

😂😂😂😂como saltaban! me encanta!😂😂ojala hubiera estado ahi...😁

[@leonardohard9604]

y en diciembre van a ser 30 años de aquella noche un viernes 11 de diciembre de 1987 en el estadio de river. mi primer recital. ahi en el campo casi adelante. mas de 60.000 personas y miles por television, lo paso en directo canal 13. al dia siguiente todo el mundo hablaba del recital de sting, por que emociono a todos y se vio un recital con alegria. este recital lo tengo guardado en mi corazon. como dijo sting al dia siguiente del recital en una entrevista: anoche fui feliz.

[@gusporot]

Fue inolvidable , cuando empezo Minu Cinelu le pegaba a un botellon raro que nos partia el pecho estando abajo del tablero, que manera de llorar, subieron las Madres, cantamos bailamos y fuimos felices nosotros tambien!! unico e irrepetible.

[@danielriotercero]

@@gusporot jajajaja yo lloré con las madres.... Maldita Hebe, corrompiste todos nuestros ideales

[@jbeleni]

Comparto todo lo que dijiste. Más que como fan de The Police uno lo venía esperando de hace años

[@Crubber]

I can't imagine what it must be like to play for a crowd like that!

[@randymckinley4137]

Annoying for bands like RUSH, when they start singing the melody of the songs louder than the PA. Cool in a way, but obnoxious when you're trying to watch a live video.

[@johngray9434]

Randy McKinley ...actuality I dint think many of today’s so called A List rock stars could imagine what it would be like to play to a crowd like that!

[@ImpartiallySpeaking]

Looks biblical

[@tylerdowney6525]

Man, the crowd is so INTO Sting, it's quite a sight to behold! Also, he looks so good I could just eat him up!

[@elijahscall718]

Dream of the Blue Turtles is one of the greatest albums of all-time.

[@GabyEstopa]

Que recuerdo!!! yo estuve ahi, mi primer concierto... campo primera fila pegada a la valla... 60.000 almas cantando...inolvidable, gracias x subir este material.

[@Awesomeduud]

A song with deep meaning. I love it

[@MrKLAMM]

Yo estuve ahi el 11 de Diciembre de 1987 en River Plate. El mejor recital de mi vida.

[@dany_virardi]

Uno de los primeros shows que pude ver gratis recien empezaba a trabajar en radio.

[@Juan20112611]

Yo también estuve en este concierto, los que no pudimos ver a The Police cuando vinieron a Buenos Aires en 1980, nos parecio increible ver a Sting, el inauguro el estadio de River como lugar de conciertos, que ya es conocido en el mundo, que emocionante momento!!!, loco

[@Sacalaadansar]

El publico argentino es el mejor del mundo

[@TheCursedBoyFromIO]

...... DIOS MIO..... LO MAS IMPRESIONANTE QUE HE VISTO EN MUICHO TIEMPO EN KZbin..... he estado bsucando algo asi durante mucho tiempo este es uno d emis temas favoritos de STING

[@desertduranfan]

Wow...this is a great song!! Just great lyrics and what a voice!! Wow..thanks for posting... Sting is just a great artist and look at that crowd...they are with him and loving the moment!! xo

[@lilianamaranon8762]

El publico argento es el mejor!!!! m encanta como saltan!! jajaja m hubiese gustado estar ahí este tema es mi favorito

[@tylerdurden4368]

he looked so great with the long hair...

[@lucioetchamendi4794]

ROMPIÓ TODO!!! He breaks all!!!

[@hayekri]

What a great chorus! Great song all round too.

[@AbelTaboada]

Yo estuve en ese concierto fué increible estaba en el campo, Estaba todo lleno. Fué el primero de todos en River, despuès le siguieron todos los demás . Inolvidable para los que eramos fanas de The Police. Gran Recuerdo.

[@claudiojavier1529]

aparte la buena onda de Sting, eran otros tiempos de tranquilidad para asistir a esos eventos masivos, hasta recuerdo a un policía acompañando la canción.

[@claudiojavier1529]

y hubo un policía que un momento del recital comenta: este tipo es un capo cantando; como dijiste eran otros tiempos.

[@gusporot]

no nos daba el cuero para ir al campo pero estuvimos en la tribuna del tablero y no existio mas nada, fue realmente inolvidable, viendo esto se me caen algunas lagrimas , que genial!!

[@aletei1556]

tal cual, eterna y divina juventud

[@juliodicarlo5313]

Este concierto fue transmitido en directo por la tv abierta. Aqui no hubo ni post produccion ni edicion ni sobregrabaciones ni i-mac ni i-pad ni protools ni autotune, ni arriba ni abajo del escenario. Si no me equivoco la tv transmitió lo mismo que se veia en las pantallas del estadio de River, por lo que sospecho que los técnicos de la tv local no tuvieron que hacer más que enchufar los cables (uno de audio y otro de video) que el director de cámaras de Sting le dio al director de camaras del canal. Es obvio que la calidad audiovisual no es optima pero las ejecuciones de los musicos y la voz de sting son impecables.

[@andrewpowell1734]

It has to be an amazing feeling to get a reaction like THAT out of a crowd to a song that YOU wrote!

[@marvinhighley3444]

Look at that crowd...a sea of people.

[@axelusul]

[@tylerdurden4368]

...absolutely..have been to the gig in Vienna from this tour..till today the best (big concert-hall) concert I´ve seen...

[@philipschermerhorn4331]

My favorite song ever. The fact is that I always loved my son more than my wife. So it was only natural to my son in this prison. But watching those thousands of people jumping up and down to this song….WOW

[@dirtydingus5465]

Huh?

[@u2ZOOTV2]

2:14 was soo EPIC!

[@josemarkievich55]

La gente salta como si fuera un recital de ACDC. el publico argentino es unico y Sting no se guardo nada esa noche. demostrando que era un GRAN ARTISTA y considero a ese show entre los mejores 5 que se han dado en Argentina.

[@TheRockCityAngel]

I was there!! I was just a 17y.o. kid. It was the very first presentation of Sting in Argentina, and also the beginning of the mega concerts of international artists in Buenos Aires.

[@ImpartiallySpeaking]

The Rock City Angel Actually sting was performing in Argentina from as early as 1980 with the police. This is when he developed the huge following that stayed with him when he returned under the banner of being a solo artiste

[@dirtydingus5465]

No you weren’t!

[@fifanosaurio]

i was there... inolvidable.

[@LongDrivesAtNight5150]

Wow, I have seen many vids of concert audiences from Argentina and always thought they are the best, but never expected to see one from a Sting concert like this. Usually I see metal-rock/hard rock vids with crowds so into it, but this is awesome. I think I want a woman from Argentina...beautiful and fun...lol

[@munoznoella]

hahaha, Argentina rules!

[@gusporot]

We were there that night! It was unforgettable, it had rained all day but it stopped at the appointed time! Argentina is very far away and many artists do not come frecuently but when they do it we enjoy them. Freddy Mercury and Brian May could not believe that in the A$$ of the world we could sing Love of my Life so well. ACDC used the video of this same stadium for the film IRON MAN. kzbin.info/www/bejne/roO0n32vhZxqqrs That's how we Argentines are.

[@danielriotercero]

además el contexto geopolítico de 1987.- Sting hizo olvidar por un rato lo inolvidable, lo que nos separa. Debería ser embajador honorario en Argentina

[@horaciocapetta8352]

dream of the blue turtles and nothing like the sun, is some of Stings best work after the police. I was so fortunate to have seen him and Brandford, Kenny Kirkland, Darryl Jones, Janice Pendarvis, Dolette McDonald, back in summer of 1986 Costa Mesa California

Because there are no artists today, only “acts”.

No It was Marvin Smith on drums. Omar Hakim was only with sting in 1985-86

[@demetrios3232]

How did they do the background vocals? That is Sting's voice in the background singing the counter melody during the chorus. How'd they do that? Was it sampled and played from a keyboard? Great performance from a great band all of whom are jazz musicians who can really play their instruments.

[@jbeleni]

Delmar Brown did The vocales, you see in The video

[@demetrios3232]

@@jbeleni Thanks for that suggestion. It prompted me to listen to this great clip again. However, the vocal section in the choruses "Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh" are definitely prerecorded. Just don't know how they synced it up like that. I think it's a sample that's played from a keyboard.

[@milkphish4122]

Those background vocales definitely sound like Sting himself, so I think you must be correct that they were sampled from the album and re-played live.

[@zoznack]

Seems like the Argentine audience made a wrong turn on its way to the soccer game. How do thousands of people go badshit crazy spastic for Sting's soft, dull material? This isn't a bad song actually, but it doesn't seem like it would inspire people to go through the ceiling. It's closer to Kenny G. than Street fighting Man. Were they all on drugs?
