Sting - Roxanne (Live Tuscany, Sept. 11, 2001)

Brilliant reinvention of the classic Police song.

From a live concert in Tuscany on the night of 9/11 - which obviously affects Sting's and the other musicians' mood, making the first half of the concert very moving, but also very solemn. Numerous times, Sting hinted to the audience to hold back their applause.

However, Roxanne marked a clear change in outlook during the performance, as Sting acknowledges at the end - turning this into a truly magical rendition of the song =o)

Would it be possible to put this video available on mobile PLEEEAAAAASSSSEEEEEE!!!!!!

This version is such a blessing!!!!!

[TheOtherKaneda]

Probably not. This video was claimed by UMG years ago - they've kindly allowed it to stay up (except in Germany), but they control whether it may be embedded, available on mobile, etc. And they've decided not to allow that. In any event, if you really like this version, you should get the DVD - much better audio (and video, obviously) quality, since this was uploaded long before YouTube got decent quality.

hours after?.... i'll just be set and quiet



[TheOtherKaneda]

Should watch the bit before "Fragile" from this concert (probably listed under "Recommended videos"), and the performance of that song, to put this into context. As it says in the description, the concert was solemn right from the start, due to the events a few hours earlier. During Roxanne, Sting seemingly decided (and he was right, I think) to fight fear and tragedy with the joy of music.
