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