Sting -King of Pain -Fortress Around Your Heart

[@laurentpk]

Like visiting an old friend you haven't seen in years... ❤💫

[@theresa42213]

l love the prog genre like Yes, Genesis, ELP ...but Sting was able to bring the so called ''punk'' sound together with JAZZ! No one else was able to do such a thing, and l LOVED his music! He seems like a bit of a jazz guy at heart. Excellent artist!

[@jimmason8502]

Saw Sting lice about ten years ago. One of the best concerts ever. The guy is a great guitarist too, not just a great bass player and singer. One of the best musicians to ever live.

[@SvenBlumer]

A Superb version of "Fortress".

[@jonkabel6672]

his voice is blown on fortress

[@takidigits13]

Nice and simple. No horns or back up singers. I like!!!!!!

[@Bodyknowledge77]

The genious/talent it takes to 1.Write this quality of music 2.To sing like that while playing bass(especially on "Fortress Around Your Heart"). Damn!

[@SimonRobeyns]

sam bergstein agreed, though he kinda fucked up at the beginning of fortress though, which is not something you're likely to see again

[@danielthalen3055]

Bodyknowledge 77 Hey, I always see you in the comments in great videos. I haven’t been on Rick’s live stream in a while.

[@tlee717]

I couldn’t agree more

[@hamishreid8791]

I was thinking that too! Those are not easy lyrics to sing over a bassline like that! Only thing equal to that in terms of bass plus singing lyrics has to be Paul McCartney singing 'Silly Love Songs' live in concert. Please check it out. Genius!

[@skullivanfranklin4117]

WoW 2 of May favorite songs by the man b2b !!!! Hell Yeah 👍🏼!!

[@craigernyy4]

Vinnie is a good drummer but Stewart was the innovator of that style of drumming. I like sting solo but the magic that he made with Andy and Stewart is amazing!

[@sadetwizelve]

Craig Williams WHAT style of drumming? Stewart got his style from jazz and reggae.

[@gsxerwhite]

Vinnie is a legend in his own right. Stewart Copeland is the police

[@holmesketrick7]

No disrepect to Vinnie but Stewart was just different. And yes the were inspired by Reggee but that doesn't mean he didn't innovate that into the police music in his own way.

[@WhiteWolfDief]

Oh, thank you for sharing this. Two of my favourite Sting-songs in one.

[@yoshluv7]

that's my soul up there!!!!!

[@porkusmag]

Best group Sting had after Police. Really solid.

[@wietse21031]

Don't forget Steward Copeland! :) One of the best drummers in my honest opinion

[@Lievixke]

What a great combination! Love it extremely!

[@andaporahi5129]

Master Sting.....

[@TheNigelr]

great audio and video, thank you!

[@javadrumsyossiemirada1444]

Great Nice Sound ... ... ... ❤

[@VictorNewman201]

Sting's best concerts were always in Japan, imho. Not sure why.

[@sadetwizelve]

I love how thick tbe bass is in this version.

[@javadrumsyossiemirada1444]

Good Song 👍🙏😎

[@carmendelgado5174]

Lo maximo sting

[@WhiteWolfDief]

You are right, of course. ; ) Sting wrote it, though - and I think it's one of his best works.

[@betodrums2110]

Uno de sus padres era francés!, pero es un gran guitarrista!.

[@glme5321]

Awesome!

[@jonhmonsalve]

Cool glasses Vinnie! :D

[@alejandrofichetti9466]

That first 20 seconds of Sancious are from Edvard Grieg Peer Gynt 👍

[@tihson]

I hear Faure's Pavane.

[@alejandrofichetti9466]

@@tihson That's Right! thank you

[@jrm0005]

Este recital es de cuando Sting cumplio 40 años , ?????me acuerdo que la banda era exactamente esta,,,,,lo estoy buscando desesperadamente ese recital, creo que este no es

[@megaEDWIN3]

sting was luckhy to find Domonic Millar after the brilliance of Andy Summer

[@markurrutia5279]

I. Would. Like. To. Meet. STING. AND. The. Rest. OF. THE. BAND.

[@teresalaceternalove6049]

... no fortress around my heart ...

[@funkyguyxxx]

vinnie loves the bell on his ride cymbal

[@thecitizenbass5004]

go MAZINGA!!!!!!!

[@paulfranco3239]

💛💛💛

[@CarlosPCastaneda]

Stings bass playing I feel is better than Darryl Jones on the record. But I miss Branford Marsalis' sax.

[@radiozelaza]

On the record it was Sting who recorded the part on Fortress (and also on Love Is The Seventh Wave). It was because Sting wrote Fortress late night in the studio when his Blue Turtles bandmembers were asleep. He laid down bass, guitar and drum sequencer tracks before morning came. You can clearly hear that it's not Daryll Jones's articulation in the bass playing on the album version of the song. But on the subsequent tour as heard on Bring On The Night documentary Daryll's bass parts in Fortress are clearly different, involving slap&pop technique

[@chrisrivas289]

Fortress is just not complete without Branford Marsalis on the sax.

[@herklopik]

was just thinking that ..

[@necroshyha]

Moar cowbell!

[@revton3197]

it's a big enough umbrella but it's always me that ends up getting wet

[@JesusChrist5000]

The dude has a neck like a pro wrestler!

[@mutiur7396]

Due to shouting exercises 😂😂😂

[@IndraSeunarine]

NO, HIS DADDY WAS BLESSED- BE CAREFUL WHEN CHOOSING YOUR PARENTS

[@emanuelenicosia6218]

does anyone know where the keyboard's theme at the beginning (0.02 - 0.20) is taken from? I've heard it many times

[@herklopik]

kinda sounds a bit “russians”

[@OverToTheBar]

That little jazz-down twist around 4:08 CAN NOT BE FUCKING STUPIDER for this song.

[@lapwiz]

Dominic Miller, not Domingo!

[@terrybartholomew7311]

give those cymbals a break vinnie - we don't need one or more in EVERY bar ....

[@zagman4502]

KIng of pain is a Police song, sorry just had to correct you.............I know every lyic of every Police song ever recorded

[@nikolajhenningsen5950]

Vinnie Culleuta

[@tonich70]

Copeland is a great drummer, but Vinnie the man.

[@darrenhenderson3]

Opposite dude

[@kdanholm]

Darren Henderson But hey - "fortress around your heart" was origninalyy recordet with Omar Hakim on the battery. Just sayin' :)

[@alejandrofichetti9466]

But Stewart creates that pattern! And Omar on Fortress around your heart, two genius. My opinion 👍

[@jrm0005]

Querras decir DOMINGO MILLER es ARGENTINO se hace llamar Dominique jaja

[@Rodrigo.Acosta]

yo lo tengo en archivo, mandame mail a [e-mail] y cn gusto te lo comparto, lo tengo en 4 partes grabado de laserdisc.

[@Cityzen1-p1n]

King of Pain....WAY TOO FAST!!!!!

[@humanbeing2420]

Does Sting ever not phone it in live? He always looks like he's bored as hell.

[@ericc8526]

Sting's solo bands were pretty much crap.
