Title: A great Live record
Review: Sting has been my favourite solo artist for as long as I can remember, and a lot of that is probably due to this record.Sting set himself up with a fantastic band to record his first `solo' effort in 1985 being `Dream of the Blue Turtles', a good jazz-rock album if a tad laboured (by the way, I'm English and that's how we spell laboured, we have a u in labour). The subsequent tour, from which this album was recorded, was something altogether better. The songs are looser than on Sting's first record, but the playing is still tight and there is an extra energy in all of the songs. For me the highlight is the late Kenny Kirkland's keyboard solo in `When the World is running down...' his playing leaves me in awe.I like Sting's more recent live release `All this time', but that is no where near as good as this.
