Sting

In November 1985, during the 'Dream of the Blue Turtles' tour, Sting performed a full show at the Rhein-Neckar-Halle in Eppelheim, Germany. This concert followed the release of his debut solo album, 'The Dream of the Blue Turtles,' which had hit the shelves just a few months earlier. Interestingly, the album showcased Sting's unique blend of rock, jazz, and reggae influences, marking a significant departure from his work with The Police. Notably, it featured the hit singles 'If You Love Somebody Set Them Free' and 'Russians,' both of which were reflective of his evolving lyrical style and commitment to social issues. The live recording captures the energy of a burgeoning solo career, with Sting engaging his audience in a way that highlights his growth as a performer.
