I'm 52...been blessed to have grown up listening to amazing, once in a lifetime talents. Sting holds his own with John, Paul, Freddie, Elton, Billy J., Robert P., Chris C., Prince, Ann W., etc. etc. Thank you Sting.

[@DameTremonti]

whatever.

[@StewartNicolasBILLYCONNOLLY]

I don't care what anyone thinks of Sting....throughout his solo career he has played with the finest collection of extraordinately talented musicians available. Genius.

[@celsoreyes2533]

I am surprised the guitarist wasn't selected by Sting to play with him anymore...monstrous solo

[@VintageGuy1]

This, as well as the '87 SNL performance was nothing short of epic.

[@maha77]

Why do I love this song so much? a Timeless Melody that always makes me stop and reflect very deeply on the mystery of life

[@bennylai5186]

Sting's superb version makes me like Hendrix's version even more.

[@SimonRobeyns]

holy fucking shit whenever i watch this drunk my mind just explodes that guitarist is bad-ass as fuck the more drunk you get the more cool all this gets sting is such a badass covering Jimi his way, few people have the balls to do it but he does it perfectly

[@vmontijo]

This solo was pure magic Jeffrey! I saw the 1988 tour - the San Diego show... I have to say the BEST concert I have been to still to this day! Bravo!

[@lynnturman8157]

Sting and Branford's version is my favorite. Chills when that sop. sax holds that note...

[@This_RuthIsOnFire]

Shivers

[@ILoveMagic15]

Incredible performance that did justice to that fantastic song

[@vmontijo]

I have seen Sting 5 times after the Police... He has always put together amazing bands, but Sting's Bring On the Night/Blue Turtles/Nothing Like The Sun band was his greatest ever in '87 - '88... Branford Marselis, Kenny Kirkland, Omar Hakim, etc. were pure magic...

[@petrtomsicek8075]

Yes, it is true. I saw Sting at Human Rights Now at Budapest. No. 1 I have tears in my eyes.

[@kebaptom49]

vmontijo Agreed

[@rudyvee9166]

EVER!

[@randyjones280]

I think you're absolutely right.

[@11catbob]

Blows me away....Bradfrod Marsalis is SO BRILLIANT.

[@jstohler]

BRADFROD RULES!

[@jstohler]

Angry Reynholm Whoosh

[@jonasadamson6645]

Tonight I started to listen to audiobook about your musical journey with Sting! I'm already fascinated by the story you're telling and I look forward hearing the whole story!! Amazing performance!!🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@wolfunplugged]

oh yea, I remember as I heard that song the first time on the Radio and was totally stunned. great Video, sting was at that time in absolute full power of his voice.

[@HOUSEOFTANYA]

The very best!

[@maristelaromero3420]

Sou Brasileira, e tive a oportunidade de ver o Sting ao vivo no estádio do Grêmio em Porto Alegre, um dos melhores shows que assisti na vida!!!! E agora vendo aqui, gente é lindo demais, de arrepiar a alma e o coração, Sting é atemporal!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@leslettresdemonmoul1]

J'aime vraiment beaucoup cette version de little wing ! Beaucoup s'y sont essayé avec des succès divers ! STING avec sa voix unique qui colle parfaitement à la chanson nous présente une excellente interprétation de cette chanson magnifique ! Les musiciens qui l'accompagnent sont très , très bons !

[@DebMcwalker]

Had to hear me some Branford Marsalis - again!

[@marioTmaggot]

Love Sting's version. Thanks for this.

[@brandbandestudio9085]

This video always inspires me. This is how it plays, with a lot of feeling. Thanks Jeffrey.

[@linibono3201]

Branford is the MAN! but everybody is great too

[@Tasjudoka]

Freakin awesome! nice work Sting and co

[@maristelaromero3420]

Quem em maio de 2020????? Adoro demais o Sting.

[@chrissanchez2998]

I seen sting in Chicago and Poplar Creek Little Wing was awesome big sting fan

[@JeudeLyne]

Wonderful...loving the 2:12 that you gave the Jimi original.....thank you.....continue on.....wonderful

[@GabrielOteroGiordano2015]

I sow the version you played in Buenos Aires. Argentina and it was eternal and wonderful. It was very inspiring to me. If you can , please pu it in youtube.

[@Predator72]

порно This is Jeffrey Lee Campbell's KZbin profile. Jeffrey Lee Campbell is the guitar player on this performance, so he can reply to Gabriel's request for sure.

[@OriginalDanbrown]

JLC I love this vid, and your great books!! Got me stoked to play music for sure. Dominic is amazing but doesn't go out on a limb like this really.

[@bogdanique]

Wooow.... Maaaan....

[@woehawcy]

Hey Jeff. Saw this tour about 10 times. You blew The Garden away one night.

[@erkinpolat9607]

Voodoo Wing!

[@laurent2413]

Super formation ! Sting sait s'entourer 👍

[@Freekygrandma]

Nice! RIP Hiram Bullock, original guitar player on the CD version.

[@Jedizen07]

I love this performance. Very heartfelt and elegant. If I'm not mistaken, Jefferey did a solo ( to this tune ) on Saturday Night Live 1987 that completely blew me away! I'd give anything to see THAT clip on youtube. Well. . . I wouldn't give my arms away because I couldn't play guitar anymore ( haha )!

[@superfuzzbox]

+David McCain Thanks! check this link: vimeo.com/139444784

[@Jedizen07]

+Jeffrey Lee Campbell Thanks! Pure audio ear candy. The inspired transcription of your alluring solo now begins tonight. Peace and safe travels.

[@superfuzzbox]

+David McCain Awesome! You can also check out my website: jeffreyleecampbell.com

[@KP-je6jt]

That performance hooked me too man....That guitar solo blew me away and seamless transition into the horn.

[@pachoriatas]

thanks !!!!!! long time looking for this version , guessing was just a dream since I hear just one time in radio around1989 !!!!

[@stinger71]

this is pure evil!!! so fucking good, tears to my eyes

[@MrFantomasus]

sting sting sting is greatest ,the one of jazz musik in this art.

[@bittechslow]

The guy on the horn is so good

[@MrChedges]

Bradford is the bomb.

[@gratiacynthiamaiaporto1596]

Demais! Amo de paixão essa música!

[@hirokimatsuoka2482]

私は、当時大阪に住んでいた。スティングは、甲子園STADIUMでもを演奏した。 ツアーが発表された時に、私は、チケットを買うか迷ったが、結局買わなかった。 私は、公演後に、テレビでこの公演を見てとても後悔した。 その5年後に、私はとある後輩との会話で　このライブを体験したと。彼からきいた。 彼は、興奮しながら「素晴らしかった」と。

[@Alligator96hater]

@sea15ification It´s "from me to you" and "all you need is love" by the beatles. I agree this version is just beautiful!

[@LizBelmont]

Shivers, JLC, shivers!

[@randyjones280]

He's just about the only one who gets the lyrics right. "With a circus mind that's running ROUND " NOT WILD, and everyone says WILD that's wrong 😜

[@DebMcwalker]

You almost don't need Sting on this/ the guitar player (who I don't recognize) and particularly the great Branford Marsalis really rock!

[@classicbob6064]

Jeff Campbell is on guitar

[@DebMcwalker]

Classic Bob Oh my - Am I embarrassed!

[@classicbob6064]

Deb Mc don't be.... it's all good

[@luciacancherini5202]

❤️❤️❤️

[@pedritomelo]

At the end he sings All you need is love :P

[@Jamesp1972]

it's a bit 'slick' but the low note he added in at the start of the chorus is AMAZING

[@TrueBlueSue49]

Sting - "Little Wing" Live in Tokyo

[@DonVito2011]

This intro is from Voodoo child (slight return). Definitely Sting is a Hendrix fan :-)

[@randyjones280]

I sometimes wonder what Jimi Hendrix was thinking when he wrote this 🤔? Maybe about the little Indian brave in "Castles Made of Sand" hmm, don't know never will 😢😢

[@redmed10]

Prefer original version on Nothing like the Sun with Hiram Bullock but he is free to play around with it as he wants but might have sounded a bit better if could hear lead guitar.

[@bimbomcgee]

sting is a genius but, when they go into cut time..... boo

[@krushkam83]

(: hendrix - beatles - sting :)

[@alessandrafrancescamarrama8168]

ciao albero

[@alessandrafrancescamarrama8168]

sogni

[@PlatinaAss]

im objective but that an amazing way the fuck up a song cant hear it

[@conradhunter3093]

The mix is not great. The piano is louder that the guitar solo which leads me to believe that the soundman was chatting up the girls during the show...

[@jasonlozinski3182]

WTF? Really? Oh well, I still think your a musical genius Sting,,, genius even after this one. Guess he digs this song as much as I do and wanted to do his version. But yeah, three thumbs down.

[@mcdeadcat]

Some interesting alternatives in the guitar solo and some bits that are simply awful too.

[@Skavar4000]

Oh please... fail.

[@guitarmatt0867]

GAY!!

[@genfac2011]

NOPE DON'T LIKE IT.

[@johnnyvincent8869]

how ruin a great solo

[@therealrussellsmyth]

The cheesiest keys and sax solos ever heard. Not loving the ‘from me to you’ insertion either. A rare off day from sting.

[@pizzadude9877]

weak. poor guitar skills

[@BarbroBruhn]
