Sting

In this live recording from July 31, 1996, at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Sting was on his 'Mercury Falling Tour,' promoting his album 'Mercury Falling,' released earlier that same year. This album marked a significant transition in Sting's career, blending elements of rock, jazz, and world music, showcasing his continued evolution as an artist. Before 'Mercury Falling,' he had released 'Ten Summoner's Tales'—a massive hit that solidified his solo career post-Police. Interestingly, the setlist from this Minneapolis concert includes tracks that highlight his introspective songwriting and rich musicality. Songs like 'If You Love Somebody Set Them Free' and 'I Hung My Head' reflect Sting's knack for storytelling through music, pulling audiences into a landscape of deep emotions and reflective thoughts.
