Sting did 2 flawless shows the last two days during Bospop (The Netherlands) and Classic Werchter (Belgium), performing:
01. Message in a Bottle
02. Synchronicity II
03. Walking on the Moon
04. If I Ever Lose My Faith In You
05. Englishman In New York
06. Shape of My Heart
07. Driven to Tears
08. Every Little Thing She Does is Magic
09. Why Should I Cry For You?
10. Fields of Gold
11. A Day in the Life
12. The Soul Cages / If You Love Somebody Set Them Free
13. Voices Inside My Head / When The World Is Running Down...
14. Roxanne / So Lonely
1st Encore:
15. Desert Rose
16. Every Breath You Take
17. Next to You
2nd Encore:
18. Fragile
Only downside: few interactions with the audience... although we observed many positive comments from people around agreeing that "finally he goes back to basics".
We met up with many of you, while many others were hard to be found ... (among 50.000 people, we were trying to find e.g. a guy with white T-shirt and blue jeans ...rather hard), maybe next time better?
And no, Sting did not appear back on stage to perform "All for love" with Bryan Adams who did an excellent acoustic rendition of this song... which was quite dissappointing for the ladies in front of us.

thanks for the info with Bryan Adams ! I hope you had a great time Karel and Stingus ! It's sad we didn't met (too much people).
By the way, do you think Fragile was a second encore, I most feel like he played it directly after Next to you or Every breath (I don't remember the exact tracklist)...
See ya !

A fantastic show all round, but we felt the strings, brass & backing vocals were sorely missed. Where was the soaring start to Englishman? and Fields of Gold was almost lost. It seems the intros were gone which was a shame. The band really seemed to enjoy it, and the whole day's billing was just superb. Would not have missed it for the world.

Hey Jaynem, were you at Werchter ? So you're probably from Belgium... Do you know anybody who could have recorded the show ?
