When Rufus performed this cover for Stings 60th, was his best ever live performance!! He owned that song and hit and felt every note and you cannot peak that. I’ve played that clip about a zillion times.❤️
I'm a longtime fan of The Police and really unforgiving of folks who tackle covering their material. Rufus' interpretation is absolute perfection. Simply breathtaking. Both the version at Sting's birthday gig and this. Stunning.
I never could understand why Hollywood wouldn't use stings compositions for their movies or anything else entertaining the only thing that's entertaining right now is Rufus! And the reminder that nobody plays sting even jazz stations! That's why we that's why we stream!
Turns out you can fall in love “twice” with your favourite version of the same song. Magical, enigmatic, otherworldly. The references to Greek mythology within the lyrics seem to find their actual meaning when this song is interpreted by Rufus. So, thank you! ♥️
I was lucky enough to be at the Beacon that night, you sang early in the set and you blew not just me and the audience away but the band too, thank you for such a memorable performance, it will live with me and many others for ever. 🙏
Very nice. Both his pitch and diction are so clear! And I noticed that between the first performance and this one, someone corrected his pronunciation of “Charybdis.”
Mr Rufus Wainwright! Out of all my indulgence with sting! Listening to his music over the years that performance you did on his 60th birthday was? I can't see anymore incredible beautiful! It can never be repeated! So I'll listen with curiosity but I know I'll always find myself intrigued with your voice and the voice of Sting!
OMG Rufus!!!! such a SUBLIME version‼🙌👏🙏💘 thanks a million for this precious Christmas present!!💖🎄 p.s. 'What a VOICE' like Sting told you on his birthday when you sang this wonder to him!!🙌🙏
Soooooo LOVE these concerts.Happy ,happy happy. I'm a Rufus tragic after discovering you only a few months ago.I'm driving all my friend crazy telling them they must listen to you.Amazingly prolific with your voice and compositions.Loved the Angus Dei a work of genius.

Rufus do a tour with Dominic Miller forget sting! Laugh out loud but let those vocals rain down on us! It's 2021 we need you!
Love this cover ! One of the best of all covers ! By the way, have you seen my socks ?
Didn’t care so much for the distorted version of such a great song but that shirt is dope.
Why doesn't he sound like the concert?
Why is that Rufus reminds me of Oliver Reed ?
Anyway , amazing talent
I guess I will have to do this cover :) Just saw Heart of Glass - 1000% better -so good!!
Bruh, he looks like Mark Hamil.
bravo, meglio di
Sting
Uuummm NO.
Wonderful 😮
