5.0 out of 5 stars Many St(r)ings To His Bow, 26 Sep 2005
By TerraceGaz (Leeds, England) - See all my reviews
My brother first got me this on VHS format, Christmas 1985, it was looking a little tired after nearly 20 years of play so I bought this DVD almost as soon as I could.

This DVD covers the first post Police tour that Sting undertook after the acrimonious break up of the rock giant and follows the new band through rehearsals at a French stately home to their first concert performance.

The assembled musicians are outstanding, Omar Hakim on the drums, Kenny Kirkland on piano, Branford Marsalis on saxophone are the main players, although since that time Darryl Jones has entered the rock hall of fame as the Rolling Stones's touring bass player.

What impressed me most at the first time of viewing this film was how well Sting held his own with these masterful virtuosos! Obviously, they're playing music that he's written, so he's not going to look like a complete doofus, but at the same time It's obvious that he's done some serious training to reach such a high standard. In the breaks between songs in rehearsal, whenever the band try anything off the cuff, Sting is straight in there with them jamming along.

Enjoyable as the concert sequences are, I always found the pre-production segments to be the most enthralling episodes of this DVD, (perhaps that's the frustrated musician in me) so if you're interested in seeing the 'tightening up' and 'getting to know you' phases of a band rehearsing, this DVD is an essential purchase. Great Stuff.

4.0 out of 5 stars "I hope the Russians love their children too", 27 April 2008
By Nicholas Casley (Plymouth, Devon, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This 97-minute DVD is largely a behind-the-schemes documentary of Sting's first tour as a solo artist in 1985. Re-released in 2005, the film's director (Michael Apted) writes in the accompanying booklet how he was "to film the last nine days of rehearsal and build to the opening concert. We would film in real time, no cheating and no staging scenes." It is not until fifty minutes into the film that the concert starts.

The film opens with the usual tourist shots of Paris, where the opening concert would later take place. The camera then leads us out through the streets to the surrounding countryside, to the late seventeenth-century Chateau de Courson. We enter through its doors into an opulent salon where the band is rehearsing. The juxtaposition of modern recording equipment and the room's ornate grandeur are incongruous.

The rehearsals present Sting and his band with problems of harmonies and timings that they need to put right. These scenes in themselves are of interest. Meanwhile, the film includes direct and separate interviews with the main-man and his team of highly-talented musicians about their own backgrounds and what they think about `the band'. Trudie Styler appears too, and offers appreciation that the rehearsals mean that at least Sting is no longer reading so many books! Hanging over the start of the tour is the fact that Trudie is heavily-pregnant.

We move to Paris's Theater Mogador to view the construction of the stage set, with Sting accompanied by his legendary manager Miles Copeland. Photoshoots at the Palais Royal, Palais de Chaillot and at the fountains outside the Pompidou Centre follow. Worries are expressed by Sting's management team and record-label about him going solo and playing songs at his first concert with which the audience would not be familiar.

I was dismayed to hear a few homophobic comments from the band as they drove into Paris for the concert, but then we learn that Trudie has suddenly gone into labour. To the sound of "Russians" ("I hope the Russians love their children too"), we see Sting and Trudie enter the hospital after the concert, reading the reviews in the next morning's newspapers of the previous evening's concert. Sting is present at the birth and helps cut the cord after his first son Jake emerges. The occasion moves Sting to tears - and, I must admit, so was I.

The film then cuts back to the previous night's concert, and a number of songs are featured. By the end, the audience are on their feet asking for more and Sting provides them with a solo rendition of "Message in a Bottle".

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. There was interest all the time, from the intricacies with rehearsals, from the insightful interviews, and from the traumas of childbirth, both of the love solo career and of the son.

The extras consist of music videos for "Bring on the Night", "If You Love Somebody", and "Russians". There is also a trailer, and a photo gallery.

1.0 out of 5 stars avoid, 3 Mar 2008
Half the song list is just snippets off, in the background or practice sessions...not concert as it implies.....self indulgent even by sting's standards.
