Sting

In October 2000, Sting was in a fascinating phase of his career. Just before this live recording at the iconic Nippon Budokan in Tokyo, he released the album 'Brand New Day', which features a rich blend of pop, jazz, and world influences. The album was notable for its vibrant sound and lyrical depth, and it included hits like the title track, 'Brand New Day'. Interestingly, around this time, Sting was also transitioning into a more experimental phase with his music, moving away from the rock elements of his earlier work. This live performance would capture that electrifying moment, showcasing not only his incredible vocal abilities but also his knack for engaging the audience with stories behind the songs. The setlist, including tracks like 'If You Love Somebody Set Them Free', reflects that intimate connection Sting has always had with his fans, making this show especially memorable.
