Trudy's video ...? (and hello!)
by jonathan.b.wilson＠talk21.com 11 Jul '02

11 Jul '02

I was just wondering, does anyone know anything about the video that Trudy was meant to be making about Sting and his work? I remember it being discussed at the time of the Emperor's New Groove soundtrack. I really enjoyed the interviews etc. on the All This Time DVD. It's fascinating to watch the songs come together in the rehearsals and I'd love to see more of that process :-) While I'm on, I may as well put in my vote for Perfect Love...Gone Wrong. I really liked it the first time I heard it - witty lyrics, jazzy groove, wicked piano solo, that voice ("I howl all night, and I sleep all day" - magic!) - some of the things I like most about Sting :-) By the way, this is my first post to this list (which I've been "lurking" on for years now, on and off. Thanks for feeding my insatiable appetite for all things Sting, guys :-) Jay Wilson -------------------- talk21 your FREE portable and private address on the net at http://www.talk21.com

Sting in People AGAIN!
by Sweetmomb＠cs.com 11 Jul '02

11 Jul '02

Great little article with a color pic of Sting and Trudie in formal attire -- it was Elton John's AIDS benefit, and it was called the "white tie and tiara gala" or something. Sting wore white tie with a medal around his neck. When asked if it was from the Queen, Trudie said, "No, it's from Coco, and it's a medal for being the world's best daddy!" I didn't see a tiara on Trudie, either. There was also a celebrity auction, and someone won a Yoga lesson from Sting at his California home for $30,000. Oh, if I could just win one little lottery.... ;-) Have a great week, Holly

Re:[Police] Hampton, VA show w/ Bruce Hornsby, Anyone?

I went to that show! :) Unfortunately, that was before I had the courage to make my own souvenirs. If you come across one, I'd love a copy. Teri -- Jason Startt <starttman(a)yahoo.com> writes: I was wondering if any of you concert archivists out there had a copy of this show: Venue: Hampton Coliseum, Norfolk, USA Date: 4 March 1991 I read a review on Sting.com that says Virginia Pianist Bruce Hornsby and Sting did a "funkified" Every Breath You Take at the end of the show. Being a huge Bruce fan too, I'd love to get my hands on a copy! Thanks again! -Jason p.s. Here's a copy of the article: Sting - The Tour Archive Venue: Hampton Coliseum, Norfolk, USA Date: 4 March 1991 Review from: The Virginian Pilot by Sue Smallwood Versatile Sting - "friends" in top form. As the former frontman of legendary pop/punksters The Police, acclaimed songwriter of three solo albums, social and environmental activist, and movie star, Sting slips quite easily into the category of pop icon. But his relaxed and genial performance Monday night belied any evidence of a self-absorbed superstar. In fact, Sting opened his show by introducing another artist to the crowded house at the Hampton Coliseum, a vocalist/percussionist named Vinx. Beating tribal rhythms on a pair of unusual bongolike drums, Sting's protege sang soulful a cappella in a ranging, husky voice similar to his mentor's. Sting and his four-piece band then took the stage, awash in multicolored lighting, and launched into the catchy All This Time from Sting's new release, The Soul Cages. The singer's voice is still innately expressive but has mellowed with a new resonance, especially effective on slower, soul-probing numbers such as Why Should I Cry For You? and Fortress Around Your Heart. Sting is a versatile songwriter, and his superb band easily pulled off the dynamism required of his material. Dominic Miller provided chiming guitar parts and careful, well-placed solos. Vince Colaiuta's articulate drumming, wonderfully gentle when necessary, meshed with Sting's able bass playing for an often jazzlike rhythmic foundation. Keyboardist/guitarist David Sancious offered a plethora of synthesized string, wind, piano and organ parts. He proved to be a flamboyant fireball of a keyboard soloist during Jeremiah Blues and a cover of Ain't No Sunshine, and he traded guitar licks with Miller in a stellar rendition of Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze. Highlights of the evening were an energetic set of Police tunes, including Roxanne, Message in a Bottle and King of Pain, and a funkified Every Breath You Take featuring Sting's "friend from Virginia,'' a beaming Bruce Hornsby, on keyboards ===== For Movies, Posters and Soundtracks.

Best Recorded to Live Song
by Stephen S. Sayad 09 Jul '02

09 Jul '02

Anyone interested in picking the Police or Sting song (is there a difference?) as to which they favor live over the recorded version (for the sake of all of us, we shall exclude "Roxanne")? If we get substantial feedback, I'm willing to provide a live version for the best explanation for the choice. I think Karel should be the ultimate judge because he's the King of Sting. Anybody?

RE: [Police] Sting, McCartney, and Elton John - Hey Jude Question

Don't forget the super band on Money for Nothing. The line up is: Phil Collins, Drums First Guitar & vocals, Mark Knopfler Second Guitar, Eric Clapton Chorus, Sting Fantastic!!... -----Mensaje original----- De: Tara and Bruce [mailto:tara.bruce@rogers.com] Enviado el: Lunes 8 de Julio de 2002 23:38 Para: mikkel(a)mzh.dk; police(a)mailman.xmission.com Asunto: Re: [Police] Sting, McCartney, and Elton John - Hey Jude Question I have the Music for Montserrat DVD - both the sound and image quality are fantastic, and the artists that performed were incredible. The benefit concert took place at the Royal Albert Hall in September of 1997. Sting performed with Mark Knopfler on Money for Nothing and he performed both Message in a Bottle and Every Little Thing She Does is Magic himself. All the artists who performed during the event were on stage for Hey Jude and Kansas City, including Phil Collins, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Sting, Mark Knopfler, Jools Holland etc. The best song on the whole DVD actually may well be Mark Knopfler's truly beautiful version of Brothers in Arms. In any case, if you can find the DVD somewhere, it's well worth getting. Cheers, Bruce ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mikkel Z.
