STING - We've been waiting... all this time

Beacon Theatre


Lineage : I've found the real bootleg on a CD, extracted in WAV with CD-Ex, then converted in
FLAC level 5 with Audio Converter.



WE'VE BEEN WAITING... ALL THIS TIME - Live at the Beacon Theatre 1991


Quality : Audience recording. The Beacon's performance are always good even if they are audience. Instruments are louds,
bass sound is perfect.Sting's voice is perfect and the performance really fersh because it's the beginning of the tour.
Running time : 141'
Artwork : sorry.

Personal : This is one of my first bootleg I've heard (I didn't even know what a bootleg is at the time). And I'm
so enthousiast for this concert, you will excuse me I hope. But I love it so much ! It means a lot to me !
This is the beginning of the Sould Cages tour. "I miss you kate" is still in the playlist and they play it damn
well. "Bring on the night" is still in discovering. The solo part is different as the others versions and that's fine.
The Soul Cages is amazing, it's like the acoustic version but with electric instruments. The bass/voice ending of
Jeremiah Blues is just so right ! Sting unleashes all his power on "Every breath you take" and Dolette McDonal also (I
think it's her). There's also the most strong and powerful version of "Message in a bottle", I just defy you to find
a most fast and perfectly played version of it. The last surprise is "Walking on the moon"... I've never heard
such a good live of this song. I sincerely hope you will cry hearing the part "Some... May say...". David Sancious is
just playing a few notes and Vinnie is shutting down... It gives such a amazing atmosphere to the song.
Last thing : Sting is in really good mood. really funny, talking a lot to the audience, even saying "Shut up" to them.
Well... i'm sorry to be so long but that concert is one of my favourite ! :)
Plus, there's a small bonus. The Montreux 90 with Vinx, you will hear Vinx joking at Sting and feel the bad
mood of STing which is funny. PLus, a rare version of Message with Andy Summers Band... Well, that's all.
I hope you will like it as I do.
I don't know why the Beacon's shows are always so good...

Don't forget to upload new things of Sting or Police... We could discuss about shows to add on the Mailing list.

I also have THE POLICE - "LIve USA" - recorded live at the Paradise, BOSTON, April 7 1979. I've found it on
a market the other day. I don't know if it has been uploaded yet. Any interest for you ??

Cedric from Belgium...
