Fun Stuff

Goofs:
Continuity: During the last song, "Message in a Bottle", Sting plays a cream Fender Telecaster. For the last verse through the end of the song, he is playing a black Fender Stratocaster. When he says, "Goodnight," and walks off stage, he is seen taking off the cream Telecaster. The song is clearly pieced together from separate performances. more

Attention Sting fans: you must see this movie, 3 May 1999
8/10
Author: Ryan Terry (rknroll@total.net) from Aurora, Ontario

Take one of the most interesting artists of our time. Add one unbelievably talented band of jazz musicians. Simmer over a documentary crew. Top it all off with some of that artists best songs (up to 1985, anyway) and you have one of the most engrossing, interesting "Rockumentaries" of all time.

So, Sting can get a little (okay, fine, very) pretentious but that's part of what makes him and his songs so fascinating. The fact that the film makers seem to cut off almost every song is a real disruptive, but this is a documentary - not a "Live" show. (Part of the reason I don't like Neil Young's "Rust Never Sleeps" is that nothing happens - it's just a concert. Thanks anyway, but I'll just wait for him to tour...)

This video can be hard to find (I don't think it's commercially available) but check those racks at the back of the video store and you might get lucky.
