Summary: It grows on you!
Review: I remember the long trips to Oklahoma for Christmas when all my parents listened to was Sting. I used to despise Sting. Now, I work at Best Buy and this Sting DVD is all they play. I must say that this CD grows on you. It is a great music DVD and I would recommend it to anyone. This DVD has changed my view on Sting totally.

Summary: Best DVD out there!!!
Review: Some of you people gave this awesome DVD no credit. This is, by far, my most treasured DVD I own, and I own 20+ DVD's. I saw this tour in Milwaukee, WI and the DVD is ALMOST identicle to the show I saw. I'm not a huge Sting fan, but I am a fan and believed I need to give credit where credit is due, this DVD is for anyone, fan or not, BUY IT--you won't be sorry. Best Sting song---Seven Days!

Summary: A waste of money for most
Review: If you're a Sting fan, then this doesn't apply. I take it that people have different tastes and you should read the other reviews, which seem to indicate this DVD is mediocre.If you're not a full-fledged Sting fan, but saw the commercial on TV featuring the song Desert Rose... and found it highly appealing, then you'll be totally dissapointed with this DVD. -- The footage on TV is not the same as on the DVD (I don't know where they got that from). -- The song itself isn't very long, so don't expect any lengthier rendition here. -- I don't care for any of the other songs (so I didn't find any other good ones). -- The Sound on the DVD (I just have stereo) doesn't seem right. Other's have commented that it fades in and out, and I read those reviews before buying. But, I thought they might not have picked the right audio setting. Well... it does seem to fade in and out. The bottom line: I was hoping for something good, something different that I'd find some enjoyment watching/listening to. But, I'll never bother with it (I only skipped through and listened here and there). I may return it, it's a shame to throw away 20 bucks, but don't like doing that in general... or, I'd just as soon give it away to someone... it's just the hassle involved.

Summary: No problems here! Great concert DVD
Review: The sound on my copy was really good with the exception of the behind-the-scenes footage. The sound in the backstage segment did fade in and out as many have noted. The concert, however, was excellent in 5.1. I played this no less than 10 times in the first week and got comments from many friends on how good it sounded. I'm a bit confused by the high number of bad reviews. Maybe the problem has been fixed and I lucked out.

Summary: This should have been a 5 star, DONT BUY IT !
Review: The audio quality is HORRIBLE. Anyone that glosses over this problem must be tone deaf. I have 78's that sound better than this. Sting is our favorite artist, and this should have been a high point in our DVD collection. Instead I am returning it. I read the reviews complaining of the problem, and thought maybe these guys were too picky. WRONG ! The audio fading is extremely frustrating. It is impossible to watch this all the way through because of it. The notion that 2 channel stereo is better is ridiculous. It too has the same fading problem, and just sounds worse. By the way, I video taped this off Direct TV last summer, and the audio is EXCEPTIONAL. It has to be an engineering problem with tone deaf engineers at A&M. All I can figure is they have lowered all the standards to that of their other "big" artist, eminem (yuch).

Summary: An uplifting and joyful live performance
Review: The video footage on this DVD is good but 5.1 audio is somewhat uneven - the concert sounds more balanced when switched to 2 channel stereo. Nonetheless the DVD is a valuable addition to an audio library, especially considering the brief, but charming appearances by Stevie Wonder and Cheb Mami on Brand New Day and Desert Rose respectively. Just sit back, forget the technical aspects, and enjoy the feelgood music of Sting - a great DVD to watch after a stressful day at work!

Summary: First Rate DvD
Review: It amazes me to read so many poor reviews of this excellent dvd. The sound quality (at least on my system) is first rate, and the picture quality is some of the best I've seen on dvd. The song selection is also excellent, mixing his new music with old standby's from his Police days. Highlights here are the amazing rendition of Desert Rose featuring Cheb Mami's Tuvulan Throat-like vocals, a beautiful version of Fragile, and one of Stings best new tunes, A Thousand Years. Overall an excellent concert DvD. The negative reviews I'm reading are somewhat perplexing.Buy it!

Summary: 5 stars for Sting 1 for the band, average=3 stars
Review: I purchased this VHS as a compensation for not being able to attend the concert. While I still want to see Sting Live, this may have not been the best tour for me to catch if this show is indicative of the whole tour... While Sting was up to par; charismatic and wieldy as ever; the band left much to be desired. I have come to expect so much from Sting's back up since the days of Bring on the Night, and Soul Cages... These new players were not in sync, and the dischord often distracted from Sting's vocals. And the back up singers, they didn't seem to FEEL the music, their movements were so staged and forced, they seemed more focused on keeping their tummies sucked than singing the songs... It is still worth it to watch but if you can only own one Sting concert video, this is not the one to get. Bring on the Night or MTV Unplugged are the ones to get.

Summary: My Bard, Sting, is Perfect!
Review: I couldn't get the sound right on my PC's DVD player (with SoundBlaster Live Value!) but when I plugged this into my surround sound on a regular DVD player, its full glory was revealed! There is no better composer, musician or lyricist as far as I'm concerned! Sting is the poet/singer (bardaugh) of the century! And this concert is very memorable in its perfection.

Summary: NO, YOU'RE NOT HEARING THINGS! THE SOUND IS TERRIBLE!
Review: What a relief to log in to Amazon and find out that my hearing is not going completely whacko! As a huge Sting fan, I am still going through the grieving process after taking back two copies of this DVD to my local music store, and giving up! Whatever the technical reasons are for poor sound distribution on this disc, all I can tell you is that there is a very good chance the sound falls far below any DVD concert recording I've ever heard. The sound becomes muffled when Sting sings, the crowd fades in and out, just a poor listening experience all the way around. If EMI ever fixes this problem, give me a call!
