Half the song list is just snippets off, in the background or practice sessions...not concert as it implies.....self indulgent even by sting's standards.

My brother first got me this on VHS format, Christmas 1985, it was looking a little tired after nearly 20 years of play so I bought this DVD almost as soon as I could.

This DVD covers the first post Police tour that Sting undertook after the acrimonious break up of the rock giant and follows the new band through rehearsals at a French stately home to their first concert performance.

The assembled musicians are outstanding, Omar Hakim on the drums, Kenny Kirkland on piano, Branford Marsalis on saxophone are the main players, although since that time Darryl Jones has entered the rock hall of fame as the Rolling Stones's touring bass player.

What impressed me most at the first time of viewing this film was how well Sting held his own with these masterful virtuosos! Obviously, they're playing music that he's written, so he's not going to look like a complete doofus, but at the same time It's obvious that he's done some serious training to reach such a high standard. In the breaks between songs in rehearsal, whenever the band try anything off the cuff, Sting is straight in there with them jamming along.

Enjoyable as the concert sequences are, I always found the pre-production segments to be the most enthralling episodes of this DVD, (perhaps that's the frustrated musician in me) so if you're interested in seeing the 'tightening up' and 'getting to know you' phases of a band rehearsing, this DVD is an essential purchase. Great Stuff.

Agoraphobia explained by someone who cares- finally!.......2006-04-28

I have struggled for over a decade with anxiety, panic attacks and agoraphobia. In March I bought this DVD along with the Anxiety & Panic Attacks DVD of Charles Linden's.

The moment it started I was amazed, it was like hearing my own story explained by someone else. More than that though, I felt an instant sense of relief. I had been housebound for over 12 months really and it was driving my husband crazy but this DVD opened that world up for me again. It was absolutely brilliant!

If you suffer like I did, you will find this series of DVDs to be the best thing you have ever invested in.

5* recommended!
