Recording information
There's a recording of this concert.
Trivia
This concert was originally scheduled to take place on 2007-10-10, but Sting became ill.
Bring On The Night was rehearsed during the soundcheck.
The concert was sold out. There were 13.500 people in the audience.
Right before the concert the setlist was visible on a monitor under the stage. Bring On The Night was to open the show, after it was left out completely in Marseille. Danny Quatrochi brought Sting's mini-guitar onstage, but it was removed soon after.
The show started with the more powerful opening from 2007: Bob Marley, lights, the gong and Message In A Bottle.
From the start it was evident that all musicians were still hugely enjoying this tour. Worries about Sting's beard (i.e. not caring anymore?) were unfounded. At least the not-caring part - the beard was horrible.
The Police were laughing, communicating and improvising like they had the time of their life - and that was rewarded by a very loud Mannheim audience.
Bring On The Night was eventually played as the first encore. Sting's difficulties with finger-picking today were forgotten with the great new chorus.
