Sting: Bring On The Night (DVD/CD Combo)

Includes a bonus DVD (NTSC/Region 0). When Sting embarked on his solo career, he didn"t throw his tenure with the Police out the window; on this live double album from his Dream of the Blue Turtles tour, he reworks some odd selections from his old band"s catalog in the expansive, jazz-inflected style of his new crew (which included saxophonist Branford Marsalis). These performances emphasize showmanship (solos, backup singers, and all) and they"ve got lots of crowd-pleasing moments, like the overwhelming swell of "I Burn for You" and a Caribbean clap-along on a medley of "One World" and "Love Is the Seventh Wave". The bonus DVD provides the viewer with a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse of the band at work. The film observes Sting and his new band as they rehearse and then perform their first concert, in Paris. Universal. 2005.
