Sting Live at Mesa Amphitheater Performing A Thousand Years and More

Venue: Mesa Amphitheatre Location: Mesa, Arizona, United States Date: October 31, 1999

In the fall of 1999, Sting was riding high on the success of his album 'Brand New Day', released just the year before. This live performance, filmed at the Mesa Amphitheatre on Halloween, showcased his transition into more jazz-influenced sounds, which marked a refreshing evolution from his earlier rock roots. Fans were treated to a setlist that included fan-favorites like 'If You Love Somebody Set Them Free' alongside newer tracks like 'A Thousand Years'. Sting's natural charisma shines through in live settings, and this concert is no exception. An interesting tidbit is that Sting often interweaves personal storytelling with his music, making his performances feel intimate, even in larger venues. This recording is a deliciously nostalgic glimpse into a pivotal moment in his solo career, blending classic hits with forward-looking artistry.
