Sting performs The Hounds of Winter at Mercury Falling Tour in Seoul

Venue: 88 Garden Stage, Olympic Park Location: Seoul, Seoul, South Korea Date: October 5, 1996

In October 1996, Sting was riding high on the success of his album 'Mercury Falling,' which had been released just a few months earlier in March. This album marked a distinct phase in his career, showcasing a blend of pop, rock, and world music influences that he is known for. During the live performance at the 88 Garden Stage in Seoul, he delivered a mesmerizing setlist that included fan favorites like 'Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot' and 'I Hung My Head.' Notably, 'Mercury Falling' reflected a more introspective side of Sting, exploring themes of love and renewal, a stark contrast to the more adventurous vibe of his earlier work. This concert was part of a larger world tour, reinforcing his global appeal and ability to connect with diverse audiences, as seen in his dynamic stage presence and engagement with the crowd.
