I saw Sting once, in 2010, way past the time I would've liked to have seen him. It was at the UNO Arena in NOLA and sadly, it was extraordinarily lame. He was touring with London's Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and the orchestra was the bulk of the music. He still had longtime guitarist Dominic Miller with him, playing all acoustic, but I mean....it was all acoustic, and there was no drums, bass, or keys.
An orchestral version of Sting's career was not/is not really high on my list, but I went because somebody gave me a ticket and he's one of my faves I'd always wanted to see.
Had a chance to see him in 95 or 96 for the Mercury Falling tour and I let something dumb that came up cancel it. Really wish I hadn't done that.
