Sting

In February 2014, Sting was deep into his solo career, having recently released 'The Last Ship' in 2013, an album inspired by his childhood in Newcastle. The live recording from Houston captures an electrifying opening night of his tour with Paul Simon, highlighting the synergy between these two legendary artists. Interestingly, 'The Last Ship' also marks Sting's return to his roots, combining storytelling with vivid musical imagery, reflecting his connections to shipbuilding and the sense of home. This performance of 'Roxanne' showcases Sting's raw vocal power, which has captivated audiences for decades. Notably, the live collaboration and camaraderie with Simon added a unique layer to the concert, making it a memorable kickoff for the tour.
