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...

Symphonicities...& Steven Mercurio
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
