Did anyone ever see Sting live in Oslo 94?

David Sancious - Keys
Vinnie Calaiuta - Drums
Dominic Miller- Guitar

Amazing gig! I personally prefer that to the Bring On the Night tour.
I saw Sting at The Albert Hall a couple of years back and seeing Vinnie do the glory fill in 5/4 on 7days was amazing....He rumbled the place!!!! lol

Hahaha! My wife and I are listening to music while we paint the house, but she's not a fan of 60's music like me. So I looked for something that we both like, and I've always quite liked those bands. Now that I listened to them more often, I like them a bit more.

Post by: oldbrownshoe on February 02, 2014, 08:42:28 AM: They don't do much for me (not the 50s or 60s) but I'd like to answer the comment about critics regarding them too highly.
This may be from a British bias, but I can't think of an act or an individual (Sting) whose critical standing has most taking a mauling since their (or his) heyday. Critics in Britain hate them!

You'd think they'd be a shoe-in for it, but I can't think that they've ever been on the cover of Mojo for example or, if so, probably only once.
