Sting

In December 1985, Sting was riding high on the success of his solo debut album, 'The Dream of the Blue Turtles,' which had been released earlier that year. This live recording from Madrid showcases Sting's transition from the frontman of The Police to a solo artist exploring new musical territories like jazz and world music. Notably, during this period, he was crafting hits like 'If You Love Somebody Set Them Free' and 'Fortress Around Your Heart,' which began to define his individual style. This concert captures the raw energy and emotional depth of the 'Dream of the Blue Turtles' tour, where Sting was not just performing; he was redefining his artistic identity. The venue, Palacio de Deportes, adds another layer of excitement, as it was packed with fans eager to witness this transformation live.
