yes Panda ,i agree with bruce...if you like Sting
music you wont be disappointed.
I saw the concert in Wolfsburg,Germany, and
even if it was much shorter then USA shows,it was great and to be honest it
didn t looked an orchestral music,....it was Sting music and he was dancing
and clapping and calling people to sing with him....
I think it takes the best he can in a live
concert, but also when the cd starts with "next to you".....JESUS!!! I like
it!
ciao and see you somewhere...

Hello Bruce, hello the rest
of the gang,
I keep telling everybody how
I have problem with Sting and orchestra together. I mean, I love
orchestral music and for sure, I love Sting, but I still
struggle to get the vibes of them both in one if you know what I
mean. And I’m wondering how much Sting is paying you to spread the
word of this tour being so great and everything? Nice joke,
huh?
But you know what! Your
reviews are so contagious. Not to mention the set list which I should
admit is just inspirational!!! It surely helps to appreciate my 2
tickets for Sting gigs in Baltic countries in September.
On the side
note, I'm still surprised that the energetic presence of Steven
Mercurio seems to get less publicity then I would have expected! You just
can’t miss the guy! He is like Gulliver in the land of
Lilliput! His seems to have the right manner of conducting
for showbiz. I mean it shows talant but also is very
attractive! Not perhaps what I would normally expect from orchestra
conductor! Thus I believe his input in overall ambience of the gig must be
quite strong. Is he indeed stealing some parts of the show? Did you
like him/ couldn't care less etc...
Anyone who’ve seen the gig willing to comment here?
Hugs and kisses,
Panda

Just came
home from the Toronto show that finished an hour ago. Wow.
Wow!!!!
WOW!!!!!! Truly incredible. I am at a loss for words?
I don?t remember
seeing Sting so relaxed and having so much fun. I can?t
believe how
much he talked between songs?and the music ? my God it was
amazing.
Straight to My Heart, Moon Over Bourbon Street, End of the Game,
Why
Should I Cry for You? were all highlights for me...and King of Pain
too
? possibly the best song of the night!!!! I never thought I would
say that!
I just can?t believe how well those songs worked with the
symphonic
arrangement. I am regretting my decision to be fiscally
prudent, and for
once, only going to one show. I also made the decision
to go to just one
show based on my initial feelings that this album was
a bad idea and was
just another thing Sting was doing because he has no
new material at the
moment. Well, I must say, I ?mis-underestimated?
(hasn?t someone said that
before?) Mr. Sting. If you are someone who
decided to give this tour a
pass?and I totally understand why you made
that decision, because I was very
close to doing the same thing?I
highly recommend reconsidering. It was a
fabulous night. If you like
Sting?s music, you won?t be disappointed.
Still on a
high,
Bruce
