[bassmanjoe]

Would love to listen to the album version also, Wish someone could post it.

[Marcos24147]

Love it.

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

all I can say is, Sting is a musical genious!!!

[trouzercoff]

Best song about coal mining ever ! :)

[angelfire707]

This DVD is amazing!

[juliekstroup]

My Dad got this - he was a scientist and upset about what was going on.

[Electrobaguette]

kenny.... i miss you

[hesellsmystuff]

Kenny Kirkland - you brought joy to millions with your music and talent.

[uk6strings]

The "blue turtle" line-up had a very unique sound.... world music fused with rock and jazz - I love Sting's solo work but I would have loved to have seen at least one more album with Sting, Marsalis, Kirland, Hakim, and Jones.

[Electrobaguette]

@uk6strings

same here! absolutely! that would have been great!! darryl, omar, kenny and brandfort - would have been the most stunning album.....

[MegaRudeBoy69]

Relavent more today then back then

[mrJimCharles]

Would somebody please upload the Flintstones part?

[ThePosti]

build machines that they cant control!!!!!!!! (fukushima)

[Ebonyivorymusic]

This song shuck in my head and I like that. I seen the movie/film that went into the making of the journey . It was great to see Sting working with the girls and they learned the tune. Great sax in the song and great keys and everything else. Wayne

[Ebonyivorymusic]

Love the way this song was written and performed.

[gitano045]

...Check out " Family Guy Sting"....it's funny cos is true.!

[gitano045]

...Check out " Family Guy Sting"....it's funny co's is true.!

[zapkvr]

I still think it is Gordon's most unpretentious and fine album. The songs were all matserpieces.

[FedericoSting]

Genius at work... silence please...

[MrBrentR]

Blue Turtles gig....underrated.

[MrJBassist]

This is an amazing song. Check out the orchestral version on Sting's latest album 'Symphonicities'. In my opinion it's even more moving

[DustinKoffman]

Great! Thanks for uploading. Sting appears June 8th on Leno, for all hizza fans out there in YouTube Land and the universe beyond.

[kiimora]

look at that computer and printer lol lol 

[nzSkitzo]

LinnDrum = )

[nephelais]

had.

sorry about my awful english

[nephelais]

the best band he could ever have and ever have.

[novembrine1]

A-fucking-MEN !!!!!

[nephelais]

wonderful opera, the whole one.

Thank you so much for this.

[overthetransom]

Sick groove. I love how Dolette flips the tamborine beat around the 2 min mark!

[parapentepiloto]

One of the best songs on easily the best Sting solo album. Not the same without Stu.

[All4Seasons]

LOVE Black Seam - what a fantastically haunting sound Sting put together....my father was a (Canadian) coal miner - one of the many reasons, I guess, that this song has always resonated with me.

Such a terrible shame that Kenny is no longer with us here on earth... you will live on - in our memories,Kenny!

[azjakeza]

i think that might be a Macintosh @ the beginning

[Arjozof]

@azjakeza Isn't that Synclavier? the cult sampler-sequencer of the 80s?

[azjakeza]

I was guessing I'll googlre Synclavier thanx

[carliboy908]

Coal strike in the 80's Newcastle? Prefer the version on bring on the night cd, but this is still stunning

[lulu9698]

Bring On The Night...Baby.

[ShaneChiswick]

magic

[Brilliantbeing]

Masterpiece.

[chuckyko]

Great lyrics, I love this song.

[alekk666]

Este tema me encanta. Me hace acordar a mi adolescencia. Aquí se llamaba "Vamos juntos a la destrucción"

[CircleCityEric]

I didn't actually hear this song until around eleven years after Sting produced Dream of the Blue Turtles in 1984/85. I always knew I liked the material from that record, but I didn't know all of it until I saw Bring On the Night. This is truly an excellent example of Sting's insightful take on the world, not to mention the prowess of his accompanists.

(Rest in peace, Kenny Kirkland.)

[eggbertsmith]

"they're crap"? Nice.  Please kids...stay in school.

[billyconnearly]

Your North Country roots point you in the right direction

[Perilcrown]

he is using COMPUTERS!

[fek2000]

The Battlefield Band does a much better version, but Sting gets an "A" in songwriting.

[rongravy]

this is inspiring. it makes you wanna.....

get down and boogie, then save the world.

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

@rongravy that's what I like about Sting, he sings about things relevant to the world, he and Peter Gabriel came from the same mold, a very good one!!!

[BoiceInTheHood]

Great song from a great album.  Nobody is writing songs like this (along with CC and R) anymore . . . are they? :-(

[Epilogue01]

See if you can find the clip where John Mayer is jamming with Herbie Hancock to make the song 'Stitched Up'... ok, it's not saving the world song but it's fine songwriting

[dellwon]

fancy computer device you got there sting

[CircleCityEric]

Re: dellwon: That's actually a LinnDrum drum machine tied to a Synclavier II synth/computer. Plenty of musicians used them both in the 80's. I think a few still do today.

Incidentally, I dig everybody's gear on this song, including Kenny Kirkland's piano/synthesizers and Omar Hakim's Simmons drums.

[chochief]

this is haunting love this.

[All4Seasons]

Fantastic, Love it!

[kirk7524875248]

That's a really audience-friendly stage set up. Nice!

[rstar2008]

Great song.

[bukster1]

I've always loved this song

[misslittlemomma]

This song was the shit. I forgot about this one because sting has so many hits, its hard to remember all of them!!

[FireOnHighEldorado]

great lyrics...does he have some sort of twitch in his leg?? lol

[Gladescat]

The song was written in support of coal miners striking against a conservative anti-labor (Thatcher) government determined to break the strike and also promote nuclear power.

[FireOnHighEldorado]

No I believe it's about the industrial revolution...we studied it in English/History class...

[shel8777]

Deadly for 12,000 years....That's some serious shit man...

[motocross5636]

great vivdo except for the begenning

[atomicwave]

whats wrong with the beginning?

[mimica5589]

one day in a nuclear age they may understand our age...perhaps it's really true...truth is sometimes between the lines,try to read it

[Yeti22]

rage*. They may understand our rage.

[sting8209]

This is a clip from the movie - Bring on the Night - from 1985 and available on DVD. Also CD has some of the music.

[muxxxa]

Yeah obviously. But it's really about nuclear power plants; "bury the waste in a great big hole", "carbon fourteen" (=radioactive isotope), ...

[xhamlin]

How beautiful is that branford solo at the end? I wish he and sting would play together again.

[CARLTONCOURT]

Or intelligent pop song still relevant today?

[gftarbet]

Disjointed, pointless philosophy set to nice music?

[NoBlood4Oil2007]

pretty much, but the album version qualifies as most excellent muzak though

[wayneb29]

The song's about the 1984 miners' strike in Britain along with the concerns of safety in nuclear power stations that were being built at the time.

[Corrupt1592]

Any chance of you posting the last song on the video - "Message In A Bottle"?

[vidalzinho]

I love this music and tha Sting's voice.

[vcramon]

Where's this vid from? Official release?

[Corrupt1592]

Bring On The Night tour in France.

[jesusmezquita]

they're all good

[castaway2000]

whats the meaning of this song i want to know its the best song ever

[BPOCKET]

Kenny Kirkland on Piano...The Blue Turtles  WOW what a band!

[mariposafuriosa]

Yeahh!! nice equipment, I wish I had this at home!!!

[pazure]

Amazing performance. It gives me goosebumps when Janice and Collette start singing backing vocals.

[kjas2006]

I love this video, I hadn´t seen it for long time..thanks for posting it, it´s great

[winterchronic]

Thankyou for this footage, great song.
