Sting

In 1997, when Sting performed the "Bring on the Night Medley" in Aachen, Germany, he was in a fascinating phase of his solo career. This live performance came shortly after the release of his album, "Mercury Falling," which hit the shelves in 1996. That album featured a mix of jazz, rock, and pop elements, showcasing Sting's diverse musical palette. Interestingly, the medley in the live recording includes "Consider Me Gone," a track from this very album, highlighting his continuous ability to blend introspection with musicality. At this point in his career, Sting was exploring deeper emotional themes, transitioning from the hits of the 80s and early 90s with The Police and his earlier solo works. This performance, rich with a soulful piano solo, captures the essence of his evolving artistry and connection with the audience.
