Back on topic: My favorite CD in the HHR right now is Sting's "All This Time.' It was an evening outdoor concert at his home in Italy - recorded on Sept 11th (yep, the one). They almost cancelled but didn't want to "bow" to terrorism. There's a whole documentary about it on the DVD.

Anyway, HUGE band with piano, upright bass, cello, keyboards, slide guitar, lots of drums & percussion, Hammond organ, electric guitar, trumpet, trombone and backup singers. What a night! Even if you hated Sting you would love this CD (or DVD). Tons of soul, and killer solos by everyone. Sting sings more than playing bass (the upright is by Christian McBride), and it is such an intimate night (about 150-people), that is so cool.

If you haven't, and dig the R& B style - check it out!

I liked Sting in The Police but nothing after.

I like both "Sting" era's... mainly because Sting's back-up band (at whatever time) is so fricken talented. The Police just kick a** period!

No doubt SoCal... also the drummers that have "graced" Sting's bands are amazing! Not sure who's with him now? (I should know)

I'll have to check out that DVD!

Probably, he is a talented musician and song writer no doubt. I just really liked The Police so everything after just doesn't compare IMO. Kind of like Ric Ocasek, I loved The Cars but didn't like his solo career.

That "solo career" move can bite ya sometimes. However sometimes it can boost ya beyond. Ozzy is a good example of that move up!

I loved the Cars music, but their concerts sucked all. Guys wouldn't do anything--talk, MOVE--nothing. Then again I saw then right after the US Festival and nothing matched that wildness.

I guess you could consider Lou Reed in that group also.

Honestly don't know much about Lou Reed ... "take a walk on the wild side".
