Sting/Germany 2019

Sting also announced that he will be coming to Japan for the Greatest Hits “MY SONGS TOUR” that summarizes his career. Introducing the latest live album that predicts upcoming performances in Japan. This work includes “Lingen performance on June 26, 2019”. It is a masterpiece audience recording that captures the whole story. The transcendental video of the latest tour “BOULOGNE-BILLANCOURT 2019” will also be released at the same time, but we will leave the overview of Sting’s activities to that explanation, and here we will focus on “MY SONGS TOUR”. [“MY SONGS” released on May 24th]・May 28th “BOULOGNE-BILLANCOURT 2019”・June 1st-25th: Europe #1a (15 performances)・June 26th: Lingen performance　←★This work ★・June 28th-August 2nd: Europe #1b (24 performances)・August 23rd-September 2nd: North America #2 (8 performances)・October 5th-15th: Korea/Japan ( 6 performances) October 18th – November 2nd: Europe #2 (11 performances) This is the overall picture of “MY SONGS TOUR” that has been announced so far. “BOULOGNE-BILLANCOURT 2019” was a video of the first day of the tour, but the Lingen performance of this work was a concert that went further and was the 17th performance. This work that recorded such a show is truly an exquisite audience recording. Some of the latest recordings have appeared only on the ultimate greatest hits tour, but among them, the one that has become a hot topic for its high quality sound. What’s amazing about it is how clear and sunny it is. The recording position is like near the front row directly in front of Sting, but while you can enjoy that close feeling, there is almost no wraparound that is common in front row recordings. Although the vast enthusiasm of the scene is also recorded, it does not interfere with the performance, and the output sound of the PA is recorded neatly. And I’m glad that the focus is on Sting’s singing voice. Not only each word of the lyrics, but even each syllable is so clear that you can even feel its breathing. Of course, it’s not just the vocals that stand out, the harmonica is also on a breathing level, and the synths and guitars dance beautifully as well. Even though the rhythm section is somewhat modest, it is not off, and this is probably the balance of the scene. The bass line and vibe are clearly recorded in detail. Along with that sound, the key point of this work is its length. As a matter of fact, the currently underway European tour includes many appearances at summer festivals in various countries, and these shows will be short sets for festivals. On the other hand, Linden of this work is a solo performance, and you can fully immerse yourself in the full set of about 80 minutes. Of course, there is no point in simply having a long and lazy show, but that is impossible for “MY SONGS TOUR”. The length of time is directly connected to the increase in the number of super famous songs, and you can enjoy a large volume show while remaining rich. The contents are the re-recorded album “MY SONGS” + α. In addition to all the songs from “BOULOGNE-BILLANCOURT 2019” released at the same time, “Spirits In The Material World” has also been added. This is also the first report week of “MY SONGS TOUR”, so let’s get organized and get a feel for how luxurious it is. Live at OpenAir-Platz EmslandArena, Lingen, Germany 26th June 2019 TRULY PERFECT SOUND [THE POLICE era] ●OUTLANDOS D’AMOUR (4 songs)・So Lonely, Roxanne, Can’t Stand Losing You, Next To You ●REGGATTA DE BLANC (2 songs)・Message In A Bottle, Walking On The Moon ●GHOST IN THE MACHINE (2 songs)・Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, Spirits In The Material World ●SYNCHRONICITY (3 songs)・Wrapped Around Your Finger, Every Breath You Take, King Of Pain [Solo era] ●…NOTHING LIKE THE SUN (2 songs)・Englishman In New York, Fragile ●TEN SUMMONER’S TALES (4 songs)・If I Ever Lose My Faith In You, Seven Days, Fields Of Gold, Shape Of My Heart ●BRAND NEW DAY (2 songs)・Brand New Day, Desert Rose ●Other (3 songs)・If You Love Somebody Set Them Free (THE DREAM OF THE BLUE TURTLES), Demolition Man (O.S.T.) , Waiting For The Break Of Day (44/876)… and so on. A summary of his glorious career, dividing evenly between THE POLICE and solo. Although it is not by any means evenly distributed from all works, it is clear that there is a storm of really wide range of famous songs from 1978’s “Next To You” to 40 years later “Waiting For The Break Of Day”. This is truly a picture scroll of a rare genius songwriter. Just by looking at the song list, I can’t wait for their performance in Japan in October, and this work is a masterpiece of a live album that allows you to get ahead of such a luxurious stage as soon as possible. Fantastic sound that fans all over the world are excited about and the large volume of the full set. Disc 1(43:31) 1. Message In A Bottle 2. If I Ever Lose My Faith In You 3.
