[@kennethwilliams5668]

This period was Stings best solo work and his best band

[@billionaire33]

Not the best band...but best works for sure....which argues if it is his best band. I feel his best band was in the mid-80s when he went through his jazz/black-and-white phase.

[@KrwiomoczBogurodzicy]

No. Mercury Falling era was.

[@robertmcalister160]

I read somewhere that Sting was looking for a new drummer and Vinnie reached out to him and Sting said It's too far to come , but thanks. Vinnie then paid for his own plane ticket, showed up and got the gig.....of course!!!!

Vinnie are the best drummer ever for sting's music. No way. It's unreacheable!

EVERY TIME I see a live show (and I've watched MANY) of Sting absolutely ripping insane bass lines and singing at the same time it blows my mind. The immense talent that one man contains is just... overwhelming. A true genius in every sense of the word.

Great album and concert sting is playing a fender precsion with a graphite neck. really great sounding bass so crisp and punchy. never seen him with this bass after this tour.

[@Wyst3207]

Yes. Those are his best two albums. By FAR.

[@coolcat6303]

@@Wyst3207 Soul Cages is a fine album but hardly his best. It had only 1 hit & was not near as memorable or solid as The Dream of the Blue Turtles was. Ten Summoner's Tales & his debut were his 2 best IMO.

Sting was traveling through music... but he always had some of the best musicians and he did not give any limits to ones style... for Sting it was always a team effort...

[@BFGALL]

On a relaxed friday evening I am thrilled. This complete concert has formed a large part of my musical orientation, I'm still grateful for that. I have listened to it literally at least a thousand times. I was a paperboy when I was 16 years old and every day I listened to the full concert at least twice. I recorded it on our local music tv-channel, then recorded it on a cassette deck and put it in my walkman. A good friend wanted to check it out and completely damaged my 'original recorded' VHS tape. I think I know it almost note by note. I have searched the globe for this record! Thank you, I'm instantly on my bicycle again and feeling 18 years younger with a blink of an eye. Music is a peculiar thing.
