I remember watching this performance back in '93. I remember noticing the drummer was very good! I'd never heard the name Vinnie Colaiuta before. After seeing this, though, it seemed Vinnie's name was the only name I was hearing about. He played the hell out of this. One of the most well-played songs I've ever heard....from any drummer!
Michael Smith - You may have discovered, too, that Vinnie's practically taking it easy when playing with Sting, compared to his other gigs. He was Frank Zappa's drummer early on, and is really all over the place, shredding with Jeff Beck, pushing the musical envelope with Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock and others, and generally running around being mind-splittingly awesome no matter what kind of drumming is called for. Easily one of the greatest drummers alive, and one funny character on top of it. 👍🏻
Ian Shields - Agreed 100%. This is what Steve Vai had to say about Vinnie (back in Zappa days): "He's one of the most amazing sight-readers that ever existed on the instrument. One day we were in a Frank rehearsal, this was early '80s, and Frank brought in this piece of music called "Mo 'N Herb's Vacation." Just unbelievably complex. All the drums were written out, just like "The Black Page" except even more complex. There were these runs of like 17 over 3 and every drumhead is notated differently. And there were a whole bunch of people there, I think Bozzio was there. Vinnie had this piece of music on the stand to his right. To his left he had another music stand with a plate of sushi on it, okay? Now the tempo of the piece was very slow, like "The Black Page." And then the first riff came in, [mimics bizarre Zappa-esque drum rhythm patterns] with all these choking of cymbals, and hi-hat, riffs, spinning of rototoms and all this crazy stuff. And I saw Vinnie reading this thing. Now, Vinnie has this habit of pushing his glasses up with the middle finger of his right hand. Well I saw him look at this one bar of music, it was the last bar of music on the page. He started to play it as he was turning the page with one hand, and then once the page was turned he continued playing the riff with his right hand, as he reached over with his left hand, grabbed a piece of sushi and put it in his mouth, continued the riff with his left hand and feet, pushed his glasses up, and then played the remaining part of the bar. It was the slickest thing I have ever seen. Frank threw his music up in the air. Bozzio turned around and walked away. I just started laughing."
You could say I lost my faith in science and progress You could say I lost my belief in the holy Church You could say I lost my sense of direction You could say all of this and worse, but If I ever lose my faith in you There'd be nothing left for me to do You could say I was a lost man in a lost world You could say I lost my faith in the people on TV You could say I'd lost my belief in our politicians They all seemed like game show hosts to me If I ever lose my faith in you There'd be nothing left for me to do I could be lost inside their lies without a trace But every time I close my eyes I see your face I never saw no miracle of science That didn't go from a blessing to a curse I never saw no military solution That didn't always end up as something worse, but Let me say this first If I ever lose my faith in you There'd be nothing left for me to do
And I just saw and heard him + the band all, yesterday. Great concert in Finland. Ok it was a bit of a quickie as they had to move to another country like being today :) Had time for few encores. Not sure if this was in it or before, though :) Cheers...

Man, the words fit this time in history
I saw him live a few months ago in July 2023 in Vienna, Austria. It was awesome!!! he is still one of the very best!
The best era of Sting imo, the best band, and the best tour, the whole band was tight as hell
SXI96 I love the picture
Also THE BEST SONG!
Man, this sounds huge! Killer groove, killer guitar, killer voice(s), killer keyboards, killer song!
Amazing ..

Love Vinnie. Discovered him with Zappa many years ago, and hes easily one of the best.
A great singer and wonderful song writer. Love this man!!
when you think it was written at the BEGINNING of the nineties, actually... what a song!!
what a Musician!!! what an eternal voice! This world wouldn't be the same without Sting!
Great song played by a great, groove-tight sounding band. I remember watching this on TV and was totally blown away by this song.
Always changing it up. Why we love Sting.
I been listening to this song since 93 all thru 2020
Gotta love Sting! The lyrics are amazing, the meaning is very deep! Thanks!
He can still play as well now as back then!

Yes,he's the greatest singer/musician of all time.. and great band!
Love me some sting.........
GOAT!
You could say I lost my faith in science and progress
You could say I lost my belief in the holy Church
You could say I lost my sense of direction
You could say all of this and worse, but
If I ever lose my faith in you
There'd be nothing left for me to do
You could say I was a lost man in a lost world
You could say I lost my faith in the people on TV
You could say I'd lost my belief in our politicians
They all seemed like game show hosts to me
If I ever lose my faith in you
There'd be nothing left for me to do
I could be lost inside their lies without a trace
But every time I close my eyes I see your face
I never saw no miracle of science
That didn't go from a blessing to a curse
I never saw no military solution
That didn't always end up as something worse, but
Let me say this first
If I ever lose my faith in you
There'd be nothing left for me to do
Keep it funky boy! Come with it Sting! 1993 still hot as way back then!
And I just saw and heard him + the band all, yesterday. Great concert in Finland. Ok it was a bit of a quickie as they had to move to another country like being today :) Had time for few encores. Not sure if this was in it or before, though :)
Cheers...
