Recent tour reviews

Sting and Shaggy concert was such a memorable night at The Roundhouse! They played for two hours!! I got the set list in the end and from what they planned, they have changed the last song, which should be Fragile, for Next to You. I sense it was a wise decision as people was more likely to dance than to watch.

I had some good laughs with Shaggy moves and improv, and with Sting playing the part of a prisoner in one particular song.

Other musicians were at their peak, even the guitar player who substituted Dominic, now recovering from surgery.

They distilled a lot of hits, including Love is the 7th Wave, which is so Shaggy in a way.

I am still feeling the positive vibes.

Sting is still incredible in concert! Sting is so freaking talented and I could watch and listen to him all day long! I thought it was funny he was wearing his own Merch. But I wish there was a shirt for the show like the lanyard picture instead. I wasn’t sure about the Shaggy pairing at first but it turned out to be a hit. Shaggy has the most contagious energy and that boy can cardio! The back up singers were surprisingly some of the best talent I have ever seen...they could’ve been headliners too. Every moment was enjoyed and the venue was amazing. KC you didn’t disappoint

Absolutely fantastic! While the Myth is kind of "meh" in terms of operation, it is still a great concert venue (although the stage could use a 1'+ raise) seeing legendary performers in a small venue is worth the price of admission every time! This is how concerts are meant to be and enjoyed. Loved everything about it! Opening the entire show with a Sting solo and closing the same way - CHILLS! Amazing! Please, offer more legends in small venues - we need that!

Musical pals Billy Joel and Sting will team up Saturday at Petco Park

The versatile music legends and longtime friends will share the stage Saturday at Petco Park in San Diego, where they are likely to team up for a song or two.

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

A distance of 3,177 miles separates New York, where Billy Joel was born in the Bronx and grew up on Long Island, from Newcastle, England, where Sting was born and grew up.

But the two legendary singer-songwriters — who will perform a joint concert at Petco Park on Saturday — share more than a few things in common, no matter how different their musical styles and places of origin.

Both have won multiple Grammy Awards, are Kennedy Center honorees and have been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Joel in 1999 as a solo artist, Sting in 2003 as a member of the band The Police.

Both worked day jobs before being able to devote themselves to music, Joel pumping gas and Sting as a school teacher.

Both cut their teeth playing in bars and nightclubs as members of obscure bands, Joel with The Hassles, Sting with the Phoenix Jazzmen and Last Exit.

Both went on to become international superstars, with multiple sold-out tours, a slew of hit albums and such classic songs as “Piano Man,” “New York State of Mind,” “Every Breath You Take” and “Fields of Gold” to their credit.

Both are avid jazz fans who have collaborated with such greats as Freddie Hubbard, Phil Woods and Toots Thielemans (Joel) and Miles Davis, Branford Marsalis and Christian McBride (Sting) .

Both have made highbrow literary references in their songs, including to such esteemed authors as Nabokov, Jung and Shakespeare (Sting) and J.D. Salinger, George Santayana and Jack Kerouac (Joel).

Most notably, both are baby-boom-bred heroes — Joel is 74, Sting 72 — who have been an intrinsic part of the pop-music firmament for most of their adult lives. And both now count a new generation of pop stars among their generations-spanning fans.

Olivia Rodrigo an ‘Uptown Girl”

Multi-Grammy-winner Olivia Rodrigo, 21, joined Joel at his February 2022 Madison Square Garden concert. Together, they performed his 1983 hit, “Uptown Girl,” and her 2021 hit, “Deja Vu,” which includes the couplet: “I’ll bet that she knows Billy Joel / ‘Cause you played her ‘Uptown Girl’ / You’re singing it together.”

“Biggest honor ever still crying thank u Billy!!!!!!!” Rodrigo subsequently wrote on her social media pages.

Singer-songwriter Jacob Collier, 29, who performs May 18 at SDSU’s Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre, proudly posed for photos with Sting backstage at a 2022 concert in Luxembourg.

“When I think of my primary building blocks as a human being; the people who shaped my very essence as a musician, there are few who I hold closer to my heart than Sting,” Collier subsequently wrote on his social media pages.

“(Sting’s) creative output as a storyteller, singer, bassist and musical shapeshifter have inspired and sustained me since my earliest childhood days. I can remember (his albums) ‘Ten Summoner’s Tales’ and ‘Mercury Falling’ soundtracking my life since before I could even walk,” Collier wrote.

Neither Joel nor Sting have had a significant pop hit in two decades or more, although both have had Broadway musicals — Joel’s Twyla Tharp collaboration, “Movin’ Out,” ran from 2002 to 2005, while Sting’s more contemplative “The Last Ship” had a three-month run that concluded in January 2015.

With or without any recent hits, Joel and Sting continue to thrive.

Both draw capacity audiences to their concerts, where many fans sing along, word for word. Their respective catalogs of instantly recognizable songs are reflected by their worldwide album sales — about 100 million for Sting and 85 million for Joel, who has not released a new pop album since 1993’s “River of Dreams.”

Sting’s most recent album, “The Bridge,” was released in late 2021. Joel’s first single since 2007, “Turn the Lights Back On,” was released Feb. 2, two days before he performed the song during the Grammy Awards. Joel closed the telecast with his 1980 hit, “You May Be Right.”

“I never wanted to be an oldies act, but I suppose I am,” Joel said in a 2016 Union-Tribune interview. “I never wanted to be a nostalgia act, but I suppose I am. But I listen to Beethoven, and that’s really old stuff. Is that nostalgia? To me, that music is as alive as it ever was.”

May 7, 2016

Perhaps not coincidentally, Joel and Sting have both delved into classical music.

Joel’s most recent album, 2001’s “Fantasies and Delusions, Op. 1-10, Music for Solo Piano,” features pianist Richard Joo performing a dozen Joel compositions inspired by the work of Bach, Chopin, Liszt, Grieg and others. It topped the U.S. classical album charts and was later reworked into a concerto for live performances.

“I only listen to classical music; I don’t even listen to pop on the radio,” Joel said in his 2016 interview. “I find myself listening to (classical) music and decoding what the composer was saying. I do that with Beethoven a lot. And, I suppose, I do it with my own music. I tend to write in sonata form.”

Sting topped the classical-album charts in 2006 with “Songs From the Labyrinth,” his collection of voice and lute music by the 16th-century composer John Dowland.

Sting turns to symphonic pop

Concert tour, album a bold move in rocker’s musical journey

June 13, 2010

In 2010, Sting released “Symphonicities,” which featured reimagined orchestral versions of songs from his solo career (including “I Hung My Head” and “Why Should I Cry for You?’) and his tenure with The Police (including “Roxanne,” and “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic”). He also did a 2010 North American “Symphonicities” tour with London’s Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra that included a local stop at what is now North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre in Chula Vista.

“There’s this whole universe of music that is simply limitless,” Sting said in a 2010 Union-Tribune interview. “When you think you know everything about music, you discover you can’t get to the end...”

New vistas?

This year is the first time Joel and Sting have performed co-headlining concerts together, starting with their Feb. 24 show at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium. But it is not the first time they have shared a stage.

In November 2014, Sting joined Joel for a duet on Joel’s jazzy 1986 song, “Big Man on Mulberry Street.” Prior to that, Joel guested at seven of Sting’s “Rock for the Rainforest” benefit concerts between 1995 and 2008.

The two also did “Mulberry Street” together at their recent Tampa show, along with The Police’s “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic.” Saturday’s Petco Park gig is their second co-headlining date of 2024 and marks Joel’s first San Diego concert since his sold-out 2016 show at the same downtown ballpark. He and Sting will next re-team for a Sept. 27 performance at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.

Billy Joel scores hit after hit at Petco Park concert

Pop’s famed ‘Piano Man’ Saturday delivered a crowd-pleasing show, his first San Diego concert since a 2001 double-header with Elton John

May 15, 2016

Their upcoming San Diego concert comes in a year that promises many new things in store for both musicians.

After their Petco Park show and some additional April dates with his one-woman, five-man band, Sting will launch his “Sting 3.0” tour in May in Europe. A U.S. leg will follow in the fall. Both will team him with his longtime guitarist, Dominic Miller, and former Mumford & Sons tour drummer Chris Maas on what appears to be Sting’s first concert trek in a trio format since The Police’s reunion tour concluded in 2008.

That Police reunion tour grossed a reported $360 million. It culminated with a show at Madison Square Garden. Joel first performed there in 1978, a year after The Police band was formed. He began a record-setting monthly concert residency at Madison Square Garden in January 2014.

Joel will bring this chapter to a close on July 25 with the 150th concert of his career at the famed New York City venue. The 100th show of his current 10-year Madison Square Garden residency took place March 28 and will air next Sunday night as a TV special on CBS.

As of early last year, Joel’s decade-long gig at the Garden had grossed more than $200 million and been attended by more than 1.6 million people from all 50 states and more than 120 countries.

Those tallies seemed to even awe Joel last June when he announced this year’s wrap-up of his decade-long Madison Square Garden run.

“I’m kind of flabbergasted that it lasted as long as it did,” he said in a statement at the time. “My team tells me that we could continue to sell tickets, but 10 years, 150 shows — all right already!

“I do remember the first time we played Madison Square Garden (in 1978), it was the pinnacle of my career. I thought: ‘My God, I’m headlining Madison Square Garden.’ Everybody in the world knows when you play The Garden, it’s not just New York.”

According to Billboard magazine, Joel’s concert ticket sales since 1986 have earned him a staggering $1.05 billion, with 14.2 million tickets sold.

Last year’s announcement of the Garden residency wrap-up came just weeks after reports that Joel was putting his 26-acre waterfront property on Long Island up for sale for $49 million. It includes a 20,000 square-foot main house, a 3-bedroom beach house, a pool, a bowling alley, a putting green, a helicopter pad, a temperature-controlled wine cellar and a two-story fireplace.

Sting, as of 2005, owned at least seven homes — one in New York, one in Los Angeles, two in London, two in the English countryside and a 20-room, 600-acre estate in Tuscany, Italy. In 2022, he sold the rights to his songs for a reported $300 million to Universal Music Publishing.

A devoted road dog, Sting performs so often that Saturday’s concert here with Joel will be his third San Diego show in the past 16 months. Joel, conversely, is content to perform an average of two concerts a month. It remains to be seen if that number goes up or down after he concludes his Madison Square Garden residency this summer.

Review: Sting’s San Diego concert an arresting, full-circle family affair for the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer

The veteran solo star and co-founder of The Police sounded thoroughly engaged in his two-hour performance with his one-woman, five-man band. His son, Joe Sumner, opened the show and returned to lend vocal support to his dad on two songs

Oct. 5, 2023

The wealth that Joel and Sting have amassed would easily have allowed both to retire years (make that, decades) ago, had either been so inclined. That they continue to perform and make records indicates their passion for doing so has yet to be diluted by their sky-high bank accounts. Here’s hoping that continues to be the case for a good time to come.

The Jimi Hendrix connection

Billy Joel and Sting have both cited Jimi Hendrix as a key musical inspiration. Here’s what they said about the late electric guitar innovator in previous interviews with the Union-Tribune.

Jimi Hendrix’s musical legacy being saluted anew by ‘Experience Hendrix’

Bruno Mars and Jack Johnson are not scheduled to perform as part of the 2017 edition of the annual “Experience Hendrix” tour, which stops Saturday at The Events Center at Harrah’s Resort Southern California in Valley Center.

Feb. 26, 2017

Sting, 1991: “I must’ve been 14 and Jimi Hendrix played at the Club A-Go-Go in Newcastle. I’d never seen a Black man before, let alone a Black man who was 6 feet tall with an Afro haircut and a sort of 17th-century military costume. I’d never seen anyone play left-handed guitar or destroy his amplifier and his guitar during a song. I’d never seen anybody play like that. It was terrifying, traumatic, an epiphany! I said, ‘This is what I want to aspire to. I’ll never be Jimi Hendrix, but I can do something.’

“The Jimi Hendrix Experience was the first, what we call in England, ‘muso’ band; they were real virtuosos. Seeing Hendrix got me into jazz, into looking beyond Hendrix. ‘Where did this virtuosity come from?’ So, it was quite a natural transition for me to try to discover the roots of this music.”

Billy Joel, 2016: “I would have liked to do what Hendrix did with a piano. But I didn’t ... I went to see Hendrix back in the late 1960s. He was playing at what is now Flushing Meadows Tennis Stadium, where they have the U.S. Open. I went with a friend and made believe I was one of Hendrix’s roadies. I had on a baseball cap and wrapped some (electrical) cable around my shoulder. I started to try to talk with an English accent: ‘Jimi’s got these cables I need to take to him.’ I made my way closer and closer inside the venue, and I finally got close to backstage.

“Then, Jimi’s famous roadie, Keith Robertson, motioned to me, and said: ‘You, come over here! You’re pretty good. Now, I’m going to put you to work.’ He had me lug Hendrix’s huge Marshall (speaker cabinets) onstage. ... I spent the entire concert on the edge of the rotating stage, watching Hendrix perform — and watching my friends in the audience. I couldn’t believe it, and neither could they! I did that (phony roadie) thing a number of times.”

‘Sasquatch Sunset’, Daily Life Of A Bigfoot Tribe, Strides Into Theaters With Suga Concert Film, Spider Horror ‘Sting’ – Specialty Preview

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

Sasquatch Sunset directors Nathan and David Zellner ( Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter ) always wondered what these hairy giants do when they’re not walking – the only Bigfoot footage available has been a minute of a supposed Sasquatch wandering in the northern California woods. They decided to flesh that out in unique dialogue-free comedic imagining of the creatures’ daily life – eating, fighting, etc. Stars Jesse Eisenberg, Riley Keough, Christophe Zajac-Denek and Nathan Zellner are unrecognizable as the hairy tribe of four that entranced Sundance (see Deadline review) . Bleecker Street is opening the film, written by David Zellner, executive produced by Ari Aster, in 9 theaters in New York, LA, San Francisco and Austin, ahead of a big jump to about 800 screens next week.

IFC Films opens Nicolas Cage-starring Arcadian on 1,100 screens. Premiered at SXSW, see Deadline review. Eying a low single-digits start. The Benjamin Brewer directed movie follows a father and his twin teenage sons who are fighting to survive in a remote farmhouse at the end of the world.

Marco Perego-Saldaña & Zoe Saldaña On Their Hope 'The Absence Of Eden' Will "Open Conversation" About The U.S. Border Crisis

'The Absence Of Eden' Review: Zoe Saldaña In Powerful Immigration Drama That Puts A Human Face On Hot-Button Issue

The Long Game , Julio Quintana’s sports drama starring  Jay Hernandez  and  Dennis Quaid , opens on 1,050 screens, presented by Mucho Mas Media. A SXSW premiere, it won the fest’s Narrative Spotlight Audience Award. Inspired by Humberto G. Garcia’s  Mustang Miracle , the true story of five young Mexican American caddies in 1955 who created their own golf course in the middle of South Texas brush country. Despite outdated and inferior equipment and no professional instruction at first they would go on to compete against wealthy all-white teams and win the 1957 Texas State High School Golf Championship.

Well Go USA opens its widest-ever theatrical release, horror thriller Sting , on 975 screens. Written and directed by Kiah Roache-Turner , it stars young actress Alyla Browne (upcoming Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga ) as 12-year-old Charlotte, whose pet spider rapidly transforms into a giant flesh-eating monster, forcing the young girl to fight for her family’s survival.

“We expect exhibitors’ enthusiasm for the film to be shared by theatrical audiences,” said Jonathan Alvarez, senior coordinator for theatrical distribution. The film “nails all the important elements horror fans look for, from the stellar practical effects helmed by Wētā Workshop’s Richard Taylor to Kiah Roache-Turner’s classic blending of humor and horror to incredible performances.” With Ryan Corr ( House of the Dragon, The Water Diviner ), Penelope Mitchell ( Hellboy ), Robyn Nevin ( Relic, Wolf Like Me ), Noni Hazlehurst ( The End ), Silvia Colloca ( Van Helsing ), Danny Kim ( Born to Spy ) and  Jermaine Fowler  ( The Blackening ).

Iconic Events Releasing presents the BET+ original Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead in 600+ theaters. The remake of the 1991 coming-of-age comedy is directed by Wade Allain-Marcus, written by Chuck Hayward. Stars Simone Joy Jones as Tanya, who finds her summer plans canceled when her mom jets off for a last-minute retreat and the elderly babysitter who arrives at her door unexpectedly passes away. With Nicole Richie, June Squibb, Tremaine Hensley, Jermaine Fowler and Ms. Pat with Miles Fowler, Iantha Richardson, Gus Kenworthy and Tyriq Withers.

Roadside Attraction and Vertical open The Absence of Eden , starring Zoe Saldana, at 108 theaters. The first feature for artist and producer Marco Perego, husband of the Saldaña, executive produced by Martin Scorsese, is grounded in the human side of migrants trying to cross the border in search of a better life. Perego has said it was inspired by a sculpture he did in 2017 filling hundreds of shoes with concrete to represent children fleeing from Syria to Italy.

Set at the U.S.-Mexico border, an undocumented immigrant Esmee (Saldaña), working as a private dancer, finds herself in trouble after killing a drug cartel member. The film is dedicated to Saldaña’s late maternal grandmother, who immigrated from the Dominican Republic in the 1960s.

Written by Perego and Rick Rapoza. Also stars Garrett Hedlund, Adria Arjona, Chris Coy, Sophia Hammons, Noah Ziggy James.

With immigration a hot-button political issue, Deadline’s review calls it a perfect time for this “powerful new film.”

Sting: My Songs Tour

Sting Showcases The Importance Of The Rock Era To Our Culture...

The Police ‘Roxanne’ was released 45 years ago. That is how long a lot of us have had Gordon Sumner (aka Sting) in our lives.

In 2023 the Sting setlist spans from then until now with three new songs coming early in the set, preceded with an apology. Sting explained that part of the deal in us hearing the old was having to sit through the new. The new, however, flowed between the old with ease, so much so that I would imagine a good chunk of the audience will be checking out the latest Sting album ‘The Bridge’ today.

Placing a bracket of three new songs was like having a cigarette after sex off the back of the opening trilogy of ‘Message In A Bottle’, ‘Englishman In New York’ and ‘Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic’. Those first three songs were authentication of why we were all there. Three classics at the start of the show, all 30 or 40 years old, every piece iconic, everyone entrenched in our culture.

At 71, Sting is a Rock and Roll elder. Dylan is 81, McCartney 80, Jagger 79, Waters 79, Rod Stewart 78, Elton 75, Springsteen 73. Sting is certainly now part of a limited group of superstars still generating arena level crowds in their twilight years.

The closing run was equally iconic with The Police classics ‘Roxanne’, ‘Walking On the Moon’, ‘Wrapped Around Your Finger’ and (with son Joe Sumner), ‘King of Pain’ and ‘Every Breath You Take’.

Sting was also very active with the audience, telling stories of the songs. I had no idea ‘So Lonely’ evolved out of the Bob Marley classic ‘No Woman No Cry’. The second album title by The Police should have been the giveaway. ‘Regatta d’Blanc’ literally translates as ‘White Reggae’. Speaking of hidden messages, Joe’s band’s name Fiction Plane is an anagram of Infant Police.

The Police was such a short but potent part of the Sting timeline with five albums released over five years. Sting’s solo catalogue spans 38 years. ‘My Songs’ is not a greatest hits setlist. Four songs from the middle of this set focused in the 1993 album ‘Ten Summoners Tales’.

As I alluded at the start, there are certain artists who we are privileged to enjoy now. In coming years, a lot of these legends will no longer be performing. While some legends perform in their 80s, very few are still doing it in their 90s. The Renaissance of the Rock era from Chuck Berry, Elvis and The Beatles and Stones through to the last great rock era of Grunge, with Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Nirvana was finite and did not regenerate in the 21st century.

If Harry Styles is the future, God help us all.

Classic songs take the Sting out of the weather...

Sting took a highly entertaining trip through his illustrious back catalogue on Saturday as he brought his My Songs tour to Geelong.

Held at Mt Duneed Estate in occasionally rainy conditions as part of the A Day on the Green concert series, the 90-minute show saw the 71-year-old sling on a head mic and his well-worn bass and keep the rhythm going through a setlist comprising mostly his own material but also some enormous hits from The Police.

With so many great songs both as a solo artist and with his former band, only completists would be disappointed with the 21 tunes played on the night.

Highlights included letting the backing singers show off their talents during “Heavy Cloud No Rain” and “Shape of My Heart”, smashing “So Lonely” into a brief detour into Bob Marley’s “No Woman No Cry”, and Sting’s occasional introductions to some songs, such as his musings on how broken hearts are useful to write a good love song.

“I’m not some callow youth singing about something he knows not of; I have real estate there,” he said.

“But you know the most boring love song? ‘I love you, and you love me’ – that’s a closed loop, there’s no way inside that story.

“Whereas ‘I love you, but you love somebody else’ – now that’s interesting. It’s painful, but it’s interesting.”  

Sting brought out eldest son Joe Sumner (who played his own songs earlier as a support act) to trade lead verses on “King of Pain” and sing backing vocals on “Every Breath You Take”.

The two-song encore started with an extended, groove-filled version of “Roxanne” and ended with Sting switching from bass to acoustic guitar for “Fragile” – “At the end of the night, it’s my custom to play something quiet and thoughtful so you go home quiet and thoughtful,” he remarked.

James Reyne was the other support act and powered through a tight, punchy set made up of both his own songs and those recorded with Australian Crawl.

The next concert at Mt Duneed Estate is the Tent Pole music festival, to be held on Saturday, March 4 and featuring Pavement, Magic Dirt, Spiderbait and nine other bands.
