Not the best band...but best works for sure....which argues if it is his best band. I feel his best band was in the mid-80s when he went through his jazz/black-and-white phase.
I read somewhere that Sting was looking for a new drummer and Vinnie reached out to him and Sting said It's too far to come , but thanks. Vinnie then paid for his own plane ticket, showed up and got the gig.....of course!!!!
I got all my grunge and heavy rock from my mom, but I discovered The Police and Sting all on my own. When you said that Sting played a huge party in your life, I couldn't agree more.
These guys are simply monsters at their craft. Groove, creativity, listening to one another is unmatched. I never cease to be blown away by these four guys. One of Sting's best groups by far.
@@bhmi9090 Deffinately some vocal aid on some of these songs. There aee a few moments where we hear multiple Stings. There is either a hidden guy playing vocal samples off a keyboard or they are synced to a tape with a click track.
And then there's 20:54. Only Vinnie would be confident enough, as "just" the drummer, to stand up and do a little piece of acting (and in time)...and with such passion. I love this man.
EVERY TIME I see a live show (and I've watched MANY) of Sting absolutely ripping insane bass lines and singing at the same time it blows my mind. The immense talent that one man contains is just... overwhelming. A true genius in every sense of the word.
@@osocargm definitely can't argue with that. Macca basically created the entire book when it comes to bass playing alongside singing in rock music. He played the most tasteful, groovy lines with the Beatles. The perfect backbone. Sting mentions Macca's obvious bass influence in his memoir.

On a relaxed friday evening I am thrilled. This complete concert has formed a large part of my musical orientation, I'm still grateful for that. I have listened to it literally at least a thousand times. I was a paperboy when I was 16 years old and every day I listened to the full concert at least twice. I recorded it on our local music tv-channel, then recorded it on a cassette deck and put it in my walkman. A good friend wanted to check it out and completely damaged my 'original recorded' VHS tape. I think I know it almost note by note. I have searched the globe for this record! Thank you, I'm instantly on my bicycle again and feeling 18 years younger with a blink of an eye. Music is a peculiar thing.
Una maestro en la guitarra acústica y eléctrica. Aún hoy es compañero de Sting y su banda. Por algo es esa elección y Sting lo debe saber🎸es apoyo importante en el sonido. Dominic en solitario hace además muy buena música.
@@Wyst3207 Soul Cages is a fine album but hardly his best. It had only 1 hit & was not near as memorable or solid as The Dream of the Blue Turtles was. Ten Summoner's Tales & his debut were his 2 best IMO.
Sting was traveling through music... but he always had some of the best musicians and he did not give any limits to ones style... for Sting it was always a team effort...
Been a lifelong police fan as well as sting fan thanks to my older brother who had synchronicity on a 33 record back when they were the thing lol . saw sting solo in 2000 and then again for the police reunion in 2007 when he reunited with andy and stewart both concerts in Toronto. This guy is a master in the music business and his music has been a huge part of my life and for that I feel very blessed and beyond enriched!!!
Great album and concert sting is playing a fender precsion with a graphite neck. really great sounding bass so crisp and punchy. never seen him with this bass after this tour.
I am so happy i found this video on YT. Saw it back in 93 and never forgot their playing which inspiredxme me in my guitar and piano playing till this day.. 48 now so must have been 17 at the time 😁
Sting alchimiste de différentes influences musicale, il n'est jamais dépourvu d'idées. J'aime beaucoup sa personnalité, il a été un des premiers à mobiliser contre le massacre des indiens d'Amazonie, entre autre... Merci Sting pour ta music.
Colaiuta ! Great drummer... cos he. is one of the kind first, and then cos he can play Stewart’s spirit as he played with jo’s garage Understand who will...
This is the beginning of {and i think the 1st tour} of the collaboration of V. Colauita with Sting.Was fortunate to see it live in Athens. What a show.
THANK U very much from the bottom of my heart. I've been searching for this for the last 15 years!!! I decided to play drums because of this record and this amazing band! thanks!!!
Hard to believe it's been 20 years since Ten Summoner's Tales was released! Sting looks so young! That album will always remind me of the beach at Perdido Key, AL.
There are no words that I can think of to describe this out of this world performance and experience and I'm beginning to think that this man and his band of brothers IS from another planet or dimension which fortunately I have now been allowed to enter into and make the connections I was meant to make from the beginning of time, so to speak. Are we not ALL connected and are we not one another in different universes which are only a flick of a light switch away, as it were? All I CAN say about this unbelievably beautiful display of incredible talent and total understanding of life as we have come to know it is WOW, WOW, WOW!!!
just awsome the best line up he ever had his guitarist just blows me away in a world of show off guitar he ahows how the job should be done guess tgat why he got hired
I only see The Police once time, in the "Better than Therapy" tour, in Lisbon, 2007. But I listened The Police much earlier, guess since 1985. For me the best solo album is "... Nothing like the Sun", from 1987. Well, but The Police, and after Sting on solo carrear are essential on myself discovering of music world. I love both !!!
yes it is. it helped me on my merry way as a musician listening to such a great 3 piece. While i was token and smoking me brains out! I don't do much now though. either or.
I`ve been waiting for this to appear under its right title since I copied my nhs and mucked it,....bits of it popped up but not the whole..TONIGHT I find my botched dvd so...AAAHHH many many thanks..top of his craft.
so glad i found this on youtube. i had this concert on a bootleg CD and forgot it on an international flight along with my whole CD wallet! i've been missing it for the past 25 years! definitely sting at his height. does anyone know how to find his mtv unplugged set? their musicianship definitely shines in that environment.
![Sting - If I Ever Lose My Faith In You + Fields of Gold [5-13-93]](/img/n.gif)
This period was Stings best solo work and his best band
Not the best band...but best works for sure....which argues if it is his best band. I feel his best band was in the mid-80s when he went through his jazz/black-and-white phase.
No. Mercury Falling era was.

He is always good 😊 but Frank Zappa ex musicians spice it up like Vinnie
Vinnie colaiuta freakin inspire me, what a damn great drummer
I read somewhere that Sting was looking for a new drummer and Vinnie reached out to him and Sting said It's too far to come , but thanks. Vinnie then paid for his own plane ticket, showed up and got the gig.....of course!!!!
Vinnie are the best drummer ever for sting's music. No way. It's unreacheable!
Drum machine compared to Stewart Copeland.
yes indeed. anybody that played with zappa must be top notch.
@@Salvatore67lc Him and Copeland
Ten Summners Tales and Mercury falling --To my mind Sting's best two solo albums.
Sting’s best band ever! 👍👏👍
Truth
Absolutely.
Don't know if the best,but he collected more experience through the years and thats the final result
Kenny Kirkland was great on keyboard!
@@michaelthomas366 and Omar Hakim on drums
Sting played such a huge part in my life. Hopefully my baby daughter has the same passion for music as I do.
I listen to Sting because of my father. So it's up to you
@@MS-dz1di ahah me too!
I got all my grunge and heavy rock from my mom, but I discovered The Police and Sting all on my own. When you said that Sting played a huge party in your life, I couldn't agree more.
Colaiuta is just awesome.
His songwriting is amazing
The level of musicianship is really high here. This band is lethal.
Could not agree more
В хорошем смысле😊❤
However they are absolutely unknown. Sancious, Colaita, Miller, I don't know but they all seem good for beginners.
Agreed the skill level is apparent on the albums but it really goes full tilt live.
These guys are simply monsters at their craft. Groove, creativity, listening to one another is unmatched. I never cease to be blown away by these four guys. One of Sting's best groups by far.
+sbconsult Certainly. And I liked the 1986 Police reunion idea with Kenny Kirkland on keyboards too.
Almost 30 years later and Sting still has this exact same band member lineup
@@OVI-Wan-Kenobi-8 Yes, Vinnie is still a monster on the skins and Dominic is so laid back but is an important piece as well....
Spot on sbcconsult. By far the best Sting band put together for a tour.
@@OVI-Wan-Kenobi-8only Dominic Miller
Incredible how just 4 people can make such beautiful music. This sounds like a whole orchestra.
It's because they using backing track...
@@bhmi9090 Deffinately some vocal aid on some of these songs. There aee a few moments where we hear multiple Stings. There is either a hidden guy playing vocal samples off a keyboard or they are synced to a tape with a click track.
Sancious. Multiple splits on that motherkeyboard.
This was Sting at his most technically sophisticated, what a joy to listen to, analyze and connect with❤
And then there's 20:54. Only Vinnie would be confident enough, as "just" the drummer, to stand up and do a little piece of acting (and in time)...and with such passion. I love this man.
I think Vinny did a little of that when he played for Zappa.
A lot cooler live than on the album it completely ruins the song LOL
VINNIE IS THE " MAN" OF DRUMMING ❤️❤️❤️
EVERY TIME I see a live show (and I've watched MANY) of Sting absolutely ripping insane bass lines and singing at the same time it blows my mind. The immense talent that one man contains is just... overwhelming. A true genius in every sense of the word.
First was Paul McCartney then Sting with the hability that you mentioned
@@osocargm definitely can't argue with that. Macca basically created the entire book when it comes to bass playing alongside singing in rock music. He played the most tasteful, groovy lines with the Beatles. The perfect backbone. Sting mentions Macca's obvious bass influence in his memoir.
It’s a crime the full Oslo show is unavailable in this quality. What a show!!

Amazing musicianship ..Sting is a Genius
I saw this tour in Austin TX. Beautiful show. My former wife was blown away by the musicianship. I can still see her face...amazement...
Vinne Freakin' Colaiuta on drums !! amazing!
Colaiuta's live drumming is so tight and sharp that sounds even better than on the record...he and Manu Katche are absolute champions...
best sting band ever..........
Gods I love Dominic MIller!
with a grateful dead sticker on his strat, my man

Gods i love Winnie !
How can someone not love him? His guitar playing is awesome and looks so simple although it's not. A great musician.
IMO, Sting's best era...Soul Cages + Ten Summoner's Tales.
Yes. Those are his best two albums. By FAR.
@@Wyst3207 Soul Cages is a fine album but hardly his best. It had only 1 hit & was not near as memorable or solid as The Dream of the Blue Turtles was. Ten Summoner's Tales & his debut were his 2 best IMO.
Correct. Especially Soul Cages
Mickelangelo , loll
Sting was traveling through music... but he always had some of the best musicians and he did not give any limits to ones style... for Sting it was always a team effort...
18:26 Vinnie just reminding Sting who the master in odd time signature is. It takes a couple of beats, but Sting knows where he is again. I love that!
Sting never loses the beat, they both are reacting to David coming in on the keys with a pitch shift right there
@@chrisfaller3995exactly, the guy on top is a schizoid drummer
Thank you for sharing! I saw him on stage 31 years ago and the fans want to listen to the old songs. Simply great, unparalleled, unique + timeless!
Vinnie on drums....sublime💖

Stew on drums is "SUBLIME"!😎
@@scrappersm.2679 both are, I like Vinnie best though
I dont like Sting because I adore him what a wonderfull voice many thanks for this wonderfull moment
Vinnie, Dominic and David are terrific musicians! (Sting is off the charts)
Total professionalism, confidence and great talent! That's Sting! That band is dynamite. Seven Days is an amazing song!
Been a lifelong police fan as well as sting fan thanks to my older brother who had synchronicity on a 33 record back when they were the thing lol . saw sting solo in 2000 and then again for the police reunion in 2007 when he reunited with andy and stewart both concerts in Toronto.

At minutes 9.47 Sting is fantastic when he says # andiamo Vincenzo go go and the drummer sounds great. Bravissimo Vinnie Colaiuta.
The highligth of Sting and the best setup of musicians ... on a note... without Vinnie on drums it would have been the same
Thanks for for this as I enjoy Stings music so very much. I am disabled and this makes my day!
mine too. good stuff. be well.
Great show!!!! Vinnie is one of my all time fav's
yes sir
Great album and concert sting is playing a fender precsion with a graphite neck. really great sounding bass so crisp and punchy. never seen him with this bass after this tour.
Sting es un bajista muy musical. Sabe cómo darle el sonido correcto a su música, y con voz y bajo a la vez, lo cual no es tarea fácil👏🎶🎸
I was wondering what bass that was. Thanks for the info
The red fretless Precision Bass circa 1980 is right there too, but this one is a better look overall.
30 years ago. I was 23. Fucking great album
Love it too❤❤❤❤❤
Great album and tour. Excellent live performance. Vinnie is a beast on drums.
I am so happy i found this video on YT. Saw it back in 93 and never forgot their playing which inspiredxme me in my guitar and piano playing till this day.. 48 now so must have been 17 at the time 😁
My favorite Sting's album.. Wonderful from the beginning to the end.
Best Sting´s band ever, after The Police off-course.. which is Stu´s band after all. And for myself, best Stingo album. But, it´s my choice.
stingo; right on man, to use an old term.....
Stewart and Vinnie Apples and Bananas....
No te estoy persiguiendo ni nada, pero estoy escuchando mucho police, y no puedo parar de coincidir con todo lo que decís. Es muy loco esto :o
@@Kayavod Kenny Kirkland brought much more to the music than Sancious did (imho)
Sting alchimiste de différentes influences musicale, il n'est jamais dépourvu d'idées.
J'aime beaucoup sa personnalité, il a été un des premiers à mobiliser contre le massacre des indiens d'Amazonie, entre autre... Merci Sting pour ta music.
Wonderful show. The songs are beautiful and the musicians are excellent. Lovely arrengements.
Sting at his peak ! Vinnie great performance on Seven days ! Monster :)
music flows from him so effortlessly
Double libra
VINNIE IS THE FUCKING BEAST!!!!!
Colaiuta ! Great drummer... cos he. is one of the kind first, and then cos he can play Stewart’s spirit as he played with jo’s garage Understand who will...
Un des meilleurs artistes du siècle merci mille fois pour la mise en ligne de ce chef d'œuvre
Desde Lima Perú viendo y escuchando este concierto 5/8/2024
Ça n’à pas pris une ride quel talent et quel bonheur de revoir ce concert magnifique
thanks for the HD concert this is still my top ten concerts of all time and still have it on my VHS...Vinnie and the boys Rip it !
The mastery of this man is unparalleled!
Sting- rockin' the puffy shirt. What a fantastic album/tour this was. Stings finest solo work.
Vinnie with the ending of Synchronicity II is just beyond awesome.
Saw this tour in Hamburg. Great concert!
Saw him in Bournemouth BIC in 93 he did a homage to Hendrix would love to see that again...anybody?🎸
Just 4 of them, they managed to achieve such an astonishing sound and performance. Truly amazing
This is the beginning of {and i think the 1st tour} of the collaboration of V. Colauita with Sting.Was fortunate to see it live in Athens. What a show.
Wonderfull this is excellent many thanks for this nice moment of music
Love that Dominic has a stealie sticker on his guitar at the Oslo concert. #grateful
Sting is a great musician. Thanks for posting this.
Love this entire band but I could just listen to Vinnie drum all day. His style blows me away.
I wish I’d seen him live 87-93 when the jazz was still Happening. Fabulous stuff. Sting is the reason I discovered Branford Marsalis.
Seriously great music. This is prime, top of his game Sting. Awesome. Such an effective, efficient, and tasteful bassist with gorgeous tone.
How about nothing like the sun does any of stings fans out there likes that album or am i the only one?
It is a great album!
I have watched this video many times over the years but I mainly keep coming back to watch guitarist Dominic Miller :)
THANK U very much from the bottom of my heart. I've been searching for this for the last 15 years!!!
I decided to play drums because of this record and this amazing band! thanks!!!
Dear Stephen many thks for share this video!!! excelent concert by Sting and his band...clap clap clap
Champion an d master musician in every way. Thankyou for not going down the path of being a school teacher.
Outstanding performance, they make it seem so simple when actually it's so complex and rich! BRAVO!!!
Thank you for posting!! ive been looking for this ever since i lost my VHS copy. Vinnie is a god!!
Hard to believe it's been 20 years since Ten Summoner's Tales was released! Sting looks so young! That album will always remind me of the beach at Perdido Key, AL.

I saw this lineup live back then. Amazing
When King of Pain transitions into heavy rock \m/......... ❤❤❤❤
just awsome the best line up he ever had
his guitarist just blows me away in a world of show off guitar he ahows how the job should be done
guess tgat why he got hired
Dominic Miller wasn't hired, but he is Stings guitarist since the late 80s.
What a vocal shape is he in !! Wow
Synchronicity II!
Haha never seen before Colaiuta doing the character part of St. Augustine In Hell, just awesome!! Just 4 guys... incredible band.
I only see The Police once time, in the "Better than Therapy" tour, in Lisbon, 2007. But I listened The Police much earlier, guess since 1985. For me the best solo album is "...

A great band led by an amazingly talented artist. Wow!
Soul Cages, Ten Summoners, Mercury falling. Saw them live, dying happy. Aarghhhh
lucky you 😪
Perfect songs and an absolute perfect group of musicians.
He is very talented and very creative. Love his new album. Too bad i had trouble playing his new and old song on my music app
Before online streaming there were DVDs, and before DVDs there was Laser Disc.
best Sting combo of all times.
This is the Dream Team, imagine being on stage and everywhere u look there is a master of his craft.
So sad when I heard bring on the night and then it faded out after a few seconds 😢
Sting is a Genius. Band fantastic..
No stuffing at this gig, just 100% pure Turkey...that sounded much better in my head.
to this day ( July 7 2024 ) the KING of melodic line and lyrics...is HE
That modulation in King of Pain is killer!
Hearing Vinnie playing Stewart's parts is so good!
Vinnie it's fantastic drummer
Great Sting, great man,his music is unsurpassed. 🎉❤
I`ve been waiting for this to appear under its right title since I copied my nhs and mucked it,....bits of it popped up but not the whole..TONIGHT I find my botched dvd so...AAAHHH many many thanks..top of his craft.
año 2020 y sigue sonando increíble. Vinnie el mejor!
Fantastic his best solo Album , IMO
Sting is just as good a song writer as Paul McCartney.
so glad i found this on youtube. i had this concert on a bootleg CD and forgot it on an international flight along with my whole CD wallet! i've been missing it for the past 25 years! definitely sting at his height. does anyone know how to find his mtv unplugged set? their musicianship definitely shines in that environment.
