Sting and Peter Gabriel Performing They Dance Alone at Amnesty International Concert in Barcelona

Venue: Estadio River Plate Location: Buenos Aires, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, Argentina Date: October 15, 1988

In October 1988, Sting was riding high on the success of his album '...Nothing Like the Sun', released just the year before. This album displayed his signature blend of pop and jazz influences, reflecting both personal and universal themes. The song 'They Dance Alone', performed during the Amnesty International concert in Barcelona, poignantly addresses human rights issues in Chile, showcasing Sting's commitment to social causes. This performance was part of a larger tour that sought to raise awareness and funds for Amnesty’s work, making it a significant moment in Sting's career. Collaboration with Peter Gabriel added extra depth—both artists were renowned for their activism, and witnessing them share the stage served as a vivid reminder of music's power to inspire change.
