umbertino Posted September 24, 2022 Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 Got lucky enough to see him in 1985......In the beautiful setting of the Arena in Verona, Italy......Looks like Rome Colosseum...only slightly smaller....It's mainly used for opera Band elements were the same of "Bring On The Night".....Marsalis, Kirkland, Hakim ( who played drums for some time w Weather Report) etc..... Awesome concert......Unforgettable RIP Kenny Kirkland - keyboards Branford Marsalis (saxophone & clarinet player) - rappin' on this track https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sting_(musician) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
