The show premiered on 10-04-1991. Sting played his standup bass during the whole show. He claimed that he hadn't built up the necessary callouses to tackle the instrument. At one point, Sting forgot the lyrics to a song and a fan handed him a CD as a crib sheet. Later, Sting broke into a spontaneous vocal duet with Vinx (who was playing the African hand drum) during Every Breath You Take. By the time the song weaved its way to the conclusion, Sting almost seemed relieved. The show was released on the official video Unplugged (PolyGram Video; 089 550). |
