Sting "Fields of Gold" live Apr 13, 2024 @ Petco Park (San Diego, CA)

Описание: Hey Sting, thanks for the invite over for a cup of tea! Sting invited me, and another 25,000 friends at Petco, over to his quaint country-side castle near Stonehenge. Ok, I know he's used the same line/intro in lots of other shows, but it was fun to hear it from him nonetheless.

Having been lucky enough to visit Stonehenge, I can say it is a beautiful area. I can only imagine what the golden fields of barley look like at the end of summer. This is how Sting describes it in his book: "our house is surrounded by barley fields, and in the summer it's fascinating to watch the wind moving over the shimmering surface, like waves on an ocean of gold. There's something inherently sexy about the sight, something primal, as if the wind were making love to the barley. Lovers have made promises here, I'm sure, their bonds strengthened by the comforting cycle of the seasons." Given that Sting had only recent bought this house and gotten married just a year earlier, this feels a little confessional/personal.

This song is so pretty and definitely one of the standouts from Ten Summoner's Tales. The song performed quite well and is a favorite at concerts. Sir Paul MacCartney loves this song, saying he wished he'd written it. I liked the visual effect of using the stage screens to bathe the stage in undulating amber light, as if the stage were in a cathedral with high gothic arched windows and the fields of barley waving in the sun just outside. The video is pretty cool too:    • Sting - Fields Of Gold  

Sting sounded really good. Great night @ Petco with Sting and Billy Joel.

I'll be uploading more highlights from the Billy Joel and Sting concert here:    • Sting [The Police] + Billy Joel "Every Lit...  

Enjoy.
