Just thought I'd write a few comments/thoughts in on my first Sting concert, which was last night in Auckland, New Zealand.
The choice of material was fantastic, he played my favourites off mercury falling and a fantastic range of older songs.
I was in the 3rd row (the concert was anounced with virtually no publicity, so I went in at 6 am the next morning), and there was not a teleprompter in sight...
The security guys were nice throughout the concert, but then transformed into Nazis straight afterward. We were just hanging out a few meters from the stage, tying to check out Dominic's guitar rig, and were told to piss off, and various other refinements. Any info on Dominic's rig would be appreciated...
Is Vinnie in the habit of giving out a cymbal to the crowd at the end of the concerts? Oh man, I wish it had have been me...
Sting is a genius (but you already know that). His live show was even better than I expected, which was pretty damn cool.
Sting's genius extends to his choice of band members. The band was great.
A guy I knew from school (a few years back) was the singer pulled up for ISHICSC, and Sting seemed pleasently surprised that he was a really good singer. I talked to him after the show, and he was NOT a plant.
Sting bought out local singer Annie Crummer for Let Your Soul Be your Pilot, and it really added to the song. I was hoping she'd come out for Demolition Man too, but it was not to be... Actually, I was really hoping that Neil Finn would be there, but alas no.
The energy level was great, especially the upbeat Lithium Sunset. What a concert.
There you go. Thanks for listening, and especially to the people who replied when I posted asking who his band were for the tour.
