In early January when I got to know that Hungary is one of the destinations of
Sting's new program schedule, I became very very glad. He is my all-time
favourite pop/rock singer and he played only once in Budapest in 1988 within
the 'Human Rights Now!' tour with such stars as Bruce Springsteen, Peter
Gabriel, Youssou N'Dour and Tracy Chapman. As I didn't attend that time (I was
only 13 :-) I had been waiting for this fabulous date of Thursday, the 23rd of
May 1996 for eight long years!!! So, that was my very first time to meet him
live!
Sting landed with his 'Sting Airforce' small private plane later than it was
planned. He wanted to spend two free days in Budapest before the show, but he
was unexpectedly invited to a small island in the Indian Ocean to perform with
his band on the birthday party of the Sultan of Brunei on the 21st of May (not
for gratis of course!). So, after that gig he was very cheerful when he arrived
to our capital.
The show took place at 'Kisstadion' which name doesn't have any connections
with the band called 'Kiss'. That means 'Small Stadium', an old open-air
ice-hockey rink, where the (approx. 12,000) fans totally used up the
capacities. A few hours before the concert you could hardly find a free parking
place because of the migrating people and the crowded streets, where I
recognized a few buses from the former Yugoslavia as well. (How come? The
answer is simple. In these countries Sting and his band are not going to make
an appearance this year.)
Around the building I also marked some huge wagons with the words 'MTV' on
them. No, no! These were not stand for the 'Music Television' but the 'Magyar
Televízió' or 'Hungarian Television', so it was good news for me
that the event will be recorded. Everything went O.K. till 8:00 p.m.
The weather was fine, the whole spirit was quite good and the people were
waiting patiently, but the concert just did not want to start in time. There
was no opening act, so we were listening to some Bob Marley and Alanis
Morissette tracks. The tension and discontent were just growing in everyone.
Meanwhile, on the stage the roadies finished with tuning the instruments. When
they started to pose with Sting's bass and Dominic's guitar to set the lights,
the crowd cheered for fun. Then the cameramen sat down behind their equipment,
but the anxiety was just getting bigger and bigger.
At about 8:50 p.m. the band finally came out. I saw Kenny first in black
trousers, white jacket and a white baseball hat. Vinnie was a bit strange with
his long hair and with a green bandana on his head. Dominic was wearing black
trousers and a black 'Shovelhead' T-shirt which was turned inside out (I dunno
why!). The new horn section was also there, the trombone player Clark Gayton
and the saxophonist Butch Thomas who had a funny hat. Then we heard Vinnie's
rolling snares, which meant that they start off with 'The Hounds Of Winter'.
Suddenly Sting appeared from top to toe in black leather, and the performance
began...
Right in the middle where I was standing, the atmosphere wasn't at its peak in
the beginning. People just seemed to have been listening to a CD at home.
Probably, it was because not so many people knew the songs from the new album.
At the end of the first song Sting was 'howling in the wind'. Then came
'I Hung My Head' started right away with the horns. After this tune, he
welcomed the audience,
'Good evening. It's nice to be in Budapest.' he said. The following
melody was one of my favourites
'I Was Brought To My Senses'. Dom changed to acoustic guitar, he and
Kenny sang the vocals, Clark and Butch made some percussion stuff as well. The
song included a great keyboard solo followed by a nice sax and a trombone
improvisation.
During the rhythms of 'Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot' Sting sent away a huge
video camera out of his face then waved to the crowd. He also grabbed a small
iron table, which was in front of him and dropped it in the way of the
cameraman not to disturb him any more. After that he introduced his musicians.
Then he took off his black leather jacket and continued the concert in his
well-known black and white striped shirt. LYSBYP was a shorter version without
backing vocals, but the refrain was sang by the audience too.
'If You Love Somebody Set Them Free' came next. When I realised the voices of
Dolette McDonald & Janice Pendarvis, I knew it couldn't be the vocals of
Dominic Miller ;-) that was playback of course. 'Every Little Thing She Does Is
Magic' was the first Police song at the show. Each and every person started to
sing along in the arena, while Sting and the horn players were dancing
rhythmically which was fantastic! Only the first six songs were permitted to
record, but during the next tune the recording was continued. Then the
organizers began a short fight with the cameramen to stop it immediately...
The version of 'Seven Days' was perked up with saxophone and it was much
colourful than on the album 'Ten Summoner's Tales'. Vinnie did a great job and
the few brief pauses made the song more impressive. 'All Four Seasons' ended
with the final lines of 'When We Dance' then came 'Mad About You' from 'The
Soul Cages', the latest single 'You Still Touch Me' and 'Synchronicity II'.
During 'Roxanne' nice pictures were shown on the background projectors :-). The
medley of 'Bring On The Night' and 'When The World Is Running Down...' was the
highlight of the whole concert. The Latin American style stunning keyboard solo
took about two minutes. That was extremely superb! Unfortunately, it wasn't
mixed well because Kenny's play was too loud all the time. The live 'Demolition
Man' was really an awesome heavy metal version!!!
'Englishman In New York' contained a great rap-part by the saxophonist Butch
Thomas. Sting made a mistake in this song, but it wasn't for the first time he
forgot or confused his words. I think, the main reason was that he didn't use a
monitor to follow the lyrics as usually. While the band left the stage, the
walking Butch finished the song with a solo (just as Branford on the original
video).
The first encore started off with 'If I Ever Lose My Faith In You' wich ended
with Dom's guitar crash. First we heard a big noise, but while a roadie
exchanged the wreck instrument the song was over. 'Every Breath You Take' and
the extended 'Lithium Sunset' were also wonderful!
The final number was 'Fragile' of course. Dom played on bass and Sting on
acoustic guitar. Kenny shined on the keyboards, he played South American tunes
again. Sting introduced the band for the last time, then they said their
goodbyes and left the stage.
Sting's performance was magnificent! He enjoyed his songs very much. He sang
and played on bass with all his heart and usually ran around the stage. I have
to say, his voice was in really good shape. He didn't talk too much to the
audience because his message was in his lyrics. Vinnie Colaiuta is truly one of
the best drummers in the world and he also showed it (as much as it was allowed
to him). Kenny Kirkland is a brilliant pianist, no doubt about it. But I
wouldn't compare him with David Sancious (Sting's former keyboard player)
'cause both of them are very good but so different. So, both Vinnie and Kenny
were in top form and they did everything for the show. Butch Thomas and Clark
Gayton were absolutely pleasant surprises. In my opinion, they replaced the
Memphis Horns well. They are professional musicians and funny people as well,
always dancing and fooling around. Dominic Miller was very disappointing during
the concert. He had less role than before, but he was worse than expected. He
was lack of ideas in his solos and he just repeated himself over and over again.
I think, David Sancious proved on 'The Soul Cages' tour in 1991 that he
is a much more interesting and colourful guitar player.
At the end of the concert I became a bit hoarse, but I didn't mind it. The fans
left the building for the ol' Beatles tune 'Yellow Submarine'. I was at a loss
without some tracks at the gig especially from the 'Mercury Falling' album e.g.
'I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying' or 'Twenty Five To Midnight'. In my
humbly opinion all songs were beautiful and a bit different than the original
versions; some of them were more sophisticated or simplyfied, but they were
different... In spite of the fact that the band Red Hot Chili Peppers played
at the same stadium in the following month, I'm quite sure who was there that
night, will not forget this concert for a long long time.
JAZZ JAM '96 IN BUDAPEST
27 June 1996
Buda Castle, Budapest, Hungary
A review by Gergely Nagy
Andy Summers: guitar
Larry Coryell: guitar
Trilok Gurtu: percussion
Larry Coryell is sitting next to Andy Summers in this photo which was taken
on 27 June 1996 at Jazz Jam '96 Festival in Budapest, Hungary. The whole event
lasted about 5 hours (!) with such HUGE jazz stars as guitarist Mike Stern and
his band (Bob Malach, Dave Weckl & Lincoln Goines) and saxophonist Bob Berg
with his quartet (Joey Calderazzo, James Genus & Dennis Chambers). That was
the very first time when Andy Summers played in the trio with Larry Coryell
(the legendary American guitarist) and Trilok Gurtu (the magnificent
percussionist from India). They made approx. a 70-minute-long repertoire of
jazz standards for acoustic guitar e.g. 'Manha de Carnival'. Both Andy
and Larry made some comments between each song, so it proved that they were
in a really good mood. The only problem was the pouring rain because of the
show was taken place in the open yard of Buda Castle. This picture is from the
Hungarian satellite channel (Duna TV). They aired only a minute long clip of
the gig, unfortunately. I was one of the members of the lucky audience, so I
thought this short story and photo could be interesting to all of Andy Summers'
and The Police's fans on the Net.

April 29th, 1998
Luz de Gas, Barcelona, Spain
On April 29th, Andy played in a small club in Barcelona called 'Luz de
Gas'. The show was announced to begin at 22:30 p.m. but Andy came a
little bit later (at 23:00 approx.). The room was half-filled with about
150-200 souls. When Andy came to scene, people started to scream. It was
great!!! What kind of playing!!! He's still the best guitar player around (I
think). The bassist (called Jerry, a tall man) was perfect. His performance
playing on a 5-corded bass was incredible (personally I think that Sting is
the best). And the drummer (Bernie), made a very good performance, too. He
spent high energy during the show (especially in the re-entree, with a
formidable solo).
But the star was Andy (there's no doubt) and the audience. The feedback
between us was unique. It seemed like a party among good friends. Andy was
talking to the public all night (making comments in Spanish just reading in
a small English-Spanish dictionary). He was joking during the whole show, it
was especially funny when a couple of South American boys that were in the
audience screamed, 'Roooxanne!!!' Andy in his 'phlegmatic pose'
replied, 'O my God!, Sting's in the audience!!!' Comments of this
kind filled the show. Two songs were especially demanded by us: 'Murder
By Numbers' and 'Message In A Bottle'... People sang out of their
voice, very loud. During the concert Andy experienced some problems with his
amplifier but it wasn't any problem for him, he could solve it thanks to his
maestry. After the show I ran right to the backstage, where I talked with
Jerry and Bernie. They are both very funny (especially Jerry).
When I asked Jerry about when we could talk with Andy, he said, 'Be
patient... He is with the press... Andy is still a Policeman, you
know!!!...' We all laughed at the comment. At last Andy went to us and I
could tell him some words. I told him that I was waiting that moment for
years and Andy answered, 'Aren't you tired to stay here for all these
years?'. He signed me a photo and I made my own photos with him. Andy
was exactly like I imagined him, a perfect gentleman, a cool person and his
virtuosity (with the guitar and other things like photography) makes him
a renaissance kind of person.
How can I say that night was unforgettable?
AN EVENING WITH BRANFORD MARSALIS
8 July 1998
Dokk Backstage Arena, Budapest, Hungary
A review by Gergely Nagy
Branford Marsalis: tenor & soprano sax
Kenny Kirkland: piano
Eric Revis: double bass
Jeff 'Tain' Watts: drums
Branford Marsalis (former musician of Sting) is one of the most famous and
popular jazz saxophonists today. He is really a unique artist and he is open
to many musical styles as post bop, blues, jazz-rock, hip-hop or even
classical music. His first appearance in Hungary was ten years ago within
Sting's 'Amnesty International Tour'. Kenny Kirkland (current
keyboard player of Sting's band) has already been to my country on two
occasions (in 1988 and 1996) before this particular performance. Both
musicians and drummer Jeff 'Tain' Watts (worked with Kenny Garrett and
Michael Brecker recently) have been playing jazz together for about 17
years. The fourth and youngest man of the quartet was the bass player, Eric
Revis.
The show took place on the Óbudai Island in the Dokk Backstage Arena.
Fortunately, it was not an open-air event because it was the coldest and
windiest summer evening I can remember. This new, huge and bright building
(which is a pub, a restaurant and a small concert hall in one) is at a
dockyard on the banks of the river Danube in Budapest. The place was fully
crowded (in spite of the high ticket prices); some people were having dinner
at the tables and others were drinking at the bar counter. All of them were
watching a large video projector in the middle of the hall; the World Cup
semi-finals. It was the match between France and Croatia. As I was walking
through downstairs, I saw a few black guys on the first floor smoking,
drinking and laughing, but not really interested in the soccer. When I
realised that one of them was Kenny Kirkland (sitting back to the screen) I
waved to him then he started smiling and waved back to me. It was impossible
to get closer to them because of the security guards, but it was a great fun
anyway! :-)
When the match was over (it was no extra time, thank God!) the audience
moved to the concert hall where approx. 300-400 people could be seated. The
lights were fine and we could see the instruments on stage (the Boesendorfer
piano and the drumkit were properties of Hungarian musicians, by the way).
After we heard some warming-up snatches from backstage by Branford, they
finally came out at about 23:00.
Marsalis started complaining 'I hurt my back today. Oh, shit! It hurts...
I'm tired too'. Then he introduced his band and played the first song
called 'Spartacus' (about a 12-minute-long composition) which was
recorded by one of the Hungarian television channels. It was a speedy tune
with Branford's fantastic tenor solos and Kenny's brilliant piano work. The
second song was a very funny swing theme beginning with Jeff's incredible
drum solo. Branford played on soprano sax and there was a nice bass solo by
Eric. Marsalis also played on soprano sax in the third song which was
written by Kenny Kirkland. The next one was Jeff's composition (with a bit
of Thelonious Monk feeling) in which Branford changed to tenor saxophone. I
liked the fifth tune best. It was really cool! An amazing free jazz where
sometimes Jeff Watts played simple rock rhythms... The following tune was
very familiar to me, I'm sure I have heard it before. It contained a tenor
sax, a piano, a bass and finally a long drum solo. Kenny used some South
American patterns too (he likes to play them especially in his live solos
with Sting e.g. in the medley of 'Bring On The Night/When The World Is
Running Down...'). The encore was a Keith Jarrett composition titled
'So Tender' played by Kenny, Jeff and Eric. Branford didn't show up
again so it was only performed in a trio formation.
By the way, he didn't communicate too much with the audience but he said
'Thanks' in Hungarian a couple of times. 'Köszönöm,'
then he said 'I'm sorry I don't speak Hungarian. I hope you speak
English'. Someone shouted from the audience 'Don't worry!'.
'Well, I worry but I can't do anything about it...' replied Branford.
:)
Unfortunately, he almost couldn't move because of his severe backache. He
was standing during his solos or sitting and resting on a bar stool while
the others were playing, but sometimes it was hard for him to get up. For
example, once he dropped a bottle of water after drinking because he simply
couldn't put it back to the ground. All musicians seemed to be in a good
mood despite the bandleader's health problems and the late starting of the
gig. The whole concert was not longer than one and a half hour but it felt
like an eternity for me. It was the very last (the 27th, I think) leg of
their European tour. In my opinion, everyone did his best that night. Pure
and modern acoustic jazz!
At the end of the performance Branford did not take a bow, but we understood
him and we were not angry at all... ;-)

Duration: 1 hour 55 minutes
It all began with a meeting one of my friends from the Hungarian Sting Mailing
List, Balázs Megyesi at a Belgian brasserie in Budapest on a Sunday evening,
20 February 2000. He told me about the fantastic 'Brand New Day' concert he
attended on Tuesday in Prague, Czech Republic. He also showed me some photos
that were taken by him and some merchandise stuff he bought there. We were
sitting over our 'Kriek' cherry beers and decided to go to Bratislava, Slovakia
in March to see Sting live again... And finally we did it!
It was a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon when I met Balázs and his girlfriend,
Lívia and his car, a Mitsubishi Colt to try our luck. I had never been to
Bratislava before, what we only knew was the name of the venue and that the show
was sold out for more than a month. We were listening to my Sting rarities CDs
during the journey, which lasted about two and a half hours. We had to ask a lot
of people to be able to get to the huge building called 'Incheba', a congress and
exhibition hall. It was about two hours before the start of the gig but there were
already a lot of people waiting outside pavilion C.
Because we did not have any tickets, we had to try to buy from the dealers, who
were walking outside the building, so we joined to a group with 'We want to buy
tickets...' signs. They were Canadian and Spanish students from Kecskemét, Hungary.
First, it all worked fast and we managed to buy one ticket for a very nice price.
Then we had to wait about an hour to get the other two, which we were buying from
four Slovakian guys for about three times higher than the original price. They
wanted to go to the concert originally but when they realized that they could sell
their tickets for so much money, they decided not to get in. When we bought those
tickets together with a Polish guy, the Slovakians said 'Happy birthday!' when
they saw we were so happy. Balázs told them that it was my name day that day,
which was true by the way. 'Have a nice party!', I replied to them. They seemed
to be a bit upset because they had to go home and they said 'Fuck Sting!'. I told
them that Sting would have a concert in Budapest in June, so if they wanted to
get such expensive tickets, they could contact me.
Fortunately, I also managed to get in my little Sony tape-recorder despite the
strict guards and the thorough search. We were able to stand 7 or 8 meters from
the stage on the right side during the one and a half hours of waiting and the
whole show. The 'Incheba' is a modern congress hall with only 2500 seats and
4000 standing places, which proved to be one of the reasons that the show was
sold out so soon. The venue was packed to capacity of course with mostly young
people. We saw the technicians on the stage: Phil Docherty, Danny Quatrochi and
Donald Fitzimmonds. They tuned up the instruments, they also set up the lights
etc. while we were waiting for the start. It was time for some fun as well, i.e.
we sang some old Beatles tunes and Phil shook his bottom to the audience, which
received a huge ovation. At 8:30 p.m. suddenly all became dark and we heard the
first sounds of 'A Thousand Years', the huge curtain rose, and the crowd went
crazy when Mr. Sting appeared on the stage with his guitar in his hand...
I had been waiting for this moment for almost four years! The 'I still love you'
part was the best part of the opening song, in my opinion. After that he took off
his strange leather jacket (which is well-known from the video of 'Desert Rose')
switched to his bass guitar named 'Brian' and started to play 'If You Love Somebody
Set Them Free'. Sting looked very relaxed, he was full of energy and, above all,
he had a superb voice. He wore a black vest and dark trousers with pockets and
the guitarist Dominic Miller had almost the same clothes as Sting. 'Perfect
Love... Gone Wrong' came next, so we discovered that the usual set-list was
changed significantly. Chris Botti, who had short hair and an elegant dark-coloured
suit, played an unbelievable Miles Davis-like trumpet solo. Manu Katché made the
French rap-part with great success in his white baseball cap, and Jason Rebello
did a short but fantastic keyboard solo as well. After the song was over in an
interesting way, one of my favourite tunes came next from the new album 'After
The Rain Has Fallen', which was mixed with 'We'll Be Together'. Sting greeted
the audience 'Dobry vecer Bratislava!' (Good evening, Bratislava!) between the
two songs. Dominic made some really exciting guitar solos and the new backing
vocalists did a great job too. Sting shouted 'Dakujem!' (Thank you!) and
introduced his band. Dominic Miller changed his guitars very frequently during
the show and I noticed that he did not use his new yellow Stratocaster at all,
which could be seen at the Los Angeles gig on television. Except for some usual
solos he remained in the background and he seemed to be a bit bored. Once Sting
went up to him and he tapped him on the arm twice as if he had wanted to say
'Come on! Wake up!'. The backing vocalists, Mation Taylor and Darryl Tookes
really enjoyed the whole show. They were dancing all the time and made some
percussion stuff as well. The drummer, Manu Katché played pretty well in the
first half of the show but after that, somehow he lost his energy and his
drumming became rather monotonous. Sting's co-producer and keyboard player,
Kipper wore a red waistcoat and sunglasses. He really was in good mood while
playing the synthesizers, samplers and drum machines. He also sang background
vocals to add some more feeling to all the great songs. The trumpeter, Chris
Botti did awesome solos but at the end of the show the volume of his instrument
was really low, so it was almost impossible to hear anything. While he was
waiting for his turn, sometimes he played percussions or he was just simply
looking at the audience. Once I managed to draw his attention by waving my
hand. When he noticed it, he nodded and smiled at me. He also left the stage
for several times because he was not involved in every song. The pianist, Jason
Rebello waved and smiled at Balázs as well. :))) These young musicians really
had a good time on the stage having fun together. For example, Chris suddenly
threw his sordino (a part of his mute trumpet) to Kipper, who managed to catch
it, and Chris also pushed some buttons on Jason's keyboard, so poor boy had to
reset his instrument soon before something really bad could happen.
After the beautiful but sad ballad of 'Mad About You' it was time for some fun
with 'Seven Days'. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with Manu's drumming in this
song because Vinnie Colaiuta did it absolutely different and in a more stunning
way. The next two songs were the surprise 'country-part' of the night because
Sting and his band played 'I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying' (the only song from
'Mercury Falling') and it was immediately followed by 'Fill Her Up'. It is
a pity that Sting did not pick somebody from the audience to sing with him! Balázs and
I replaced the James Taylor-parts of this song with shouting 'goddamn' and
'that's it' in the right time. After a great bass-line and some amazing minutes
of improvisation, 'Fields Of Gold' came next when some lighters and what is more,
some green fireworks appeared in the audience. The first Police song was 'Every
Little Thing She Does Is Magic', which made a cheerful atmosphere in the hall
and it was a great sing-along as well. Manu broke two of his drumsticks during
this tune, which were thrown high to the air. Before the start of the renewed
version of 'Moon Over Bourbon Street', huge balls appeared on the stage
symbolizing the Moon. At this occasion Sting did not sing on his Louis
Armstrong-voice but on his normal one. The song ended with a great howling
and with the 'Mr. Chris Botti on the trumpet!' introduction by Sting. The next
number was 'Tomorrow We'll See' where Branford Marsalis' clarinet solo was
replaced by Chris' trumpet; Dominic also did a long and remarkable heavy metal
solo. When the line of 'These new heels are killing me' was being sung, the
whole crowd went nuts... After a quick change from side A to B of my tape, the
classic song 'Englishman In New York' began with a nice drumming by Manu and it
was filled with cool piano solos by Jason. Everyone sang 'Be yourself, no matter
what they say' and 'yeah-yeah' together with Sting, which made an incredible
feeling at Incheba. I think, one of the peak points of the whole gig was when
we heard the first chords of 'Brand New Day'. During this optimistic and very
dynamic love song, Kipper and Jason were moving simultaneously on their seat
behind their keyboards as if they had been dancing. It was fun! Then 'Roxanne'
came next with an acoustic intro and it all ended up with a huge reggae-rage,
which was simply brilliant. The current single 'Desert Rose' was fantastic
even without the Algerian rai-singer, Cheb Mami. As far as I remember, the
audience liked this song the most and it was also a great spectacle to see
some red and yellow fake-flames on the stage. I almost became deaf when this
tune was over... During the 10-minute-long Police-medley of 'Bring On The
Night/When The World Is Running Down, You Make The Best Of What's Still Around'
Jason Rebello paid tribute to the late Kenny Kirkland with an astonishing jazzy
piano solo. The first part was over but after a few seconds of applause and
boos the band came back to the stage to perform 'If I Ever Lose My Faith In
You'. It started without drums and Manu joined only at the first refrain,
but I have to admit that I really missed Vinnie. When Sting was singing 'in
you' he always pointed to one part of the audience and he received a great
ovation in return. After 'Every Breath You Take' Sting introduced his band
once again and they all left the stage. The second encore included an unplugged
version of 'Message In A Bottle' and the all-time final song, the touching
'Fragile'. Surprisingly, Sting played both songs on Dominic's acoustic guitar
and not on his own Gibson Chet Atkins while Dom played the bass. After that we
heard the very last note of 'Fragile' the curtains fell gently to the floor.
Finally, Sting thanked the audience for coming and listening and all the band
members bowed and waved to us. When he said his usual 'See you again!' then I
thought of the concert in June in Budapest, of course. He also made a few
handshakes with some people in the first row then he left the stage.
At 10.25 p.m. exactly we started to get out of the building very slowly. During
the very popular 'Desert Rose Melodic Club Mix' some people were dancing and
singing, including me. It really was a great enjoyment to entertain ourselves
while going outside. Some guys were listening to 'If You Love Somebody Set
Them Free' and 'Russians' in their cars but after some minutes of silence
we turned on the stereo and listened to the whole bootlegged gig in Balázs's
car. After the two hours of travelling, 'Fragile' closed the night for us
again when we arrived home in the end.
This was truly an unforgettable night with Sting (it was my second chance to
see him live), and now I am even more eager to see him again in Budapest as I
had been before the Bratislava show. So, I am really looking forward to seeing
the concert on 12 June 2000. Thanks Sting! ;)))))))))))

We had a great time and I also managed to meet him personally and
GAVE THE FANBOOK TO HIS HANDS!!! ;-))))))))))))))))))
During the soundcheck Manu played for some minutes. Later Jason and
Sting joined him, and then the whole band performed an absolutely new
and unknown song (to us) four or five times. It was really a nice and
'Stingy' melody with piano, guitar, drums, synth and some lyrics
as well. Unfortunately, we have never heard this tune before but we really
liked its atmosphere. So let's check it out when Sting is in your country
and he's doing a soundcheck! I can only remember that it was a very moody
and a little bit slow song, and it was good for Sting to train his voice
because of the low and the high notes were always changing.
During the show there were some additional playback backround vocals as
well. Phil Docherty, Dom's technician always showed a paper to Dom and the
band with the current result of the England vs. Portugal soccer match in
the Euro Cup. :)))) Once Jason sang too loud at the end of 'Fill Her Up'
which was funny. Sting made a huge jump at the end of 'Roxanne', just
like in the ol' good Police days... Sting was really in a good mood and said
'Köszönöm!' (Thank you!) quite a lot of times during the
concert and he greeted the audience 'Szevasztok budapestiek!' (Hi there,
Budapesters!) which really made our day! At the end of the show Sting said his
goodbye 'Budapest! Köszönöm és szia!' (Thank you
and good bye!), so he didn't tell his regular 'Thanks for coming, good night,
god bless and see you again' stuff. It was really fun and he also enjoyed
it very much! I also managed to record the whole gig and it's quality is
surprisingly better than I made in Bratislava...
Let's continue my review about my meeting with Sting on the day before the show:
The idea of making a 'Fanbook' popped up by a friend of mine when we received
the first news about Sting's concert in February 2000 in Budapest, Hungary.
Unfortunately the show was postponed because the original venue, Budapest
Sports Hall, was totally burnt down in a devastating fire in December 1999,
which truly depressed every Hungarian fan. So we were really enthusiastic
and looked forward to the re-scheduled gig at Kisstadion in June 2000. All
of the messages were sent to Sting via e-mail between 13th December 1999
and 1st June 2000. The Fanbook contained several touching stories, funny
comments and short but lovely greetings, some of them in Italian, Spanish,
French and Hungarian too. Some people wrote letters not only to Sting, but
to his son, Jake and to Sting's guitarist, Dominic as well. Interestingly
enough, the youngest fan who wrote a message was 8 years old from Italy and
the oldest one was 50 years old from Australia. Every message was printed out
without any modifications.
I had a sleepless night and was really excited on 11th June 2000. At 10 a.m. in
the morning I met two other Hungarian Sting Fan Club members in front of the
Hotel Corvinus Kempinski in Budapest. It was the most likely place for Sting's
stay because this hotel is the most beautiful and the most expensive one in the
country. I got to know that he would arrive between 2:30 and 3:00 p.m., so we went
home and I phoned my other friends to come to the spot at 2:00 p.m. It was
unbelievably hot (35 degree Celsius) and we were informed at the reception and
by some policemen in the street that Sting would be arriving after 2:30 p.m.
Ten people and I were sitting under the trees in the shades in front of the
building. At the beginning we were nervous and excited but after two and a half
hours of waiting in vain we became really really tired...
Then suddenly at around 4:30 p.m. two black cars arrived and from the first
Mercedes Dominic Miller and Billy Francis got out. I saw Dom's long hair flying
in the wind and I shouted to the others, 'There's Dominic!'. Then I
rushed to the side of the hotel across the road with the Fanbook, my Brand New
Day CD and a CD marker pen in my hand. I could hardly recognise Sting when he
got out slowly of the car, because he was very blond and really dishevelled.
As he was approaching the hotel entrance I walked up to him and said, 'Sting!'
twice but he did not notice me. When I was really close to him I told him, 'Hi
Sting! Welcome to Hungary!'. He looked into my eyes and replied, 'Hi!'.
It was the very last second when I could stop him because he almost grabbed the
handle of the hotel entrance door... 'My name is Greg.' I continued as he
put down some baggage from his hand and shook my hand. 'We would like to give
a present to you. This Fanbook contains more than 300 messages from the Internet!'
and I gave the book to his hands. He looked at its cover and said very politely
'Ah, it’s great! Thank you!'. He held it for a while and then he handed it
over to his tour manager, Billy Francis as he was walking into the building. I said,
'Would you please sign this for me?' and I gave him a black pen and my BND CD
cover. 'Yes, sure!' he signed his name on the blue coloured inner booklet but
I originally wanted him to sign my disc, so I added, 'Would you please sign it
here as well?', 'Sure!' and he did it immediately then I thanked him.
Until then the other members of our fanclub had come over and they also asked him
to sign their different posters, photos, CDs and books. A lot of photos and even
a short video were taken by us during this unbelievable
meeting. After everyone had got what they wanted, Sting took out my pen from his
mouth and gave it back to me 'Here is your pen', he said. Then he said
goodbye and he disappeared in the hotel lobby.
We really wanted Sting to find our Fanbook exciting
and enjoyable to read. We tried to make a pleasant surprise for him and sincerely
hoped that he would remember it for a long time.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH DOMINIC MILLER
4 June 2004
Kempinski Hotel Corvinus, Budapest, Hungary
A review by Gergely Nagy
The most active members of our fan club (around ten people) gathered at noon on 4th
June in front of the Kempinski Hotel Corvinus. This was exactly the same place where
we successfully met Sting and his band almost four years ago on 11th June 2000, when
Sting received our first present personally, called 'Message In A Fanbook'.
Although we tried to amuse ourselves by talking to each other and taking funny pictures,
we were nervously waiting for the arrival of Sting. I also asked the others to help me
in collecting interesting questions for an upcoming interview with Dominic Miller,
which was scheduled for 4:00 p.m. inside the hotel. Finally, a very nice and interesting
list of topics were formed on a sheet of paper. Then suddenly it started to rain, so
we had to move right in front of the hotel entrance, where some paparazzis and bodyguards
were also standing. No one knew about the time of Sting's arrival, he could have appeared
in any second. At 4:05 p.m. we asked the guards if anyone from Universal Music Hungary
was waiting for us because of the interview. It seemed that they simply do not believe
us, but thanks to Nóra Pordány from Universal, she saw us from the lobby
and came outside to us. So, Andris (a great fan of Dominic, who did all the photographs
during the interview) and I had to leave the others, who were still staying in front of
the hotel, standing in the pouring rain.
We could also feel the tension inside the hotel. The staff was at least as excited as we
were. It was unspoken but evident, a very imporant person was going to visit the place.
We also checked out the elegant board room, Ficino, which was the place for the meeting
with Dominic. We felt more comfortable after we had sat down in the lobby. As we were
informed by Nóri, two hours had been reserved altoghether for four different media
(including us, representing Zene.net and
Sting.hu), so everyone had to be ready for 6:00 p.m.
Unfortunately, Sting and his crew were late. Some minutes after 5:00 p.m., we noticed
pianist Jason Rebello as he was coming up to us. We stopped him at the elevator to ask
for his autograph. He was not that friendly, maybe because he was not expecting any fans
inside such a luxurious hotel. He signed my 'Sacred Love' Tour Book and the
'...All This Time' DVD cover of Andris without saying a word, so we let him go.
Then the two backing vocalist girls, Joy and Donna were also walking to the elevators.
They were both really nice, so I started to chat with them. Then Donna pointed to the
entrance door because Sting was coming inside, accompained by a few guards. As he was
getting closer to us, he did not look really well. He was quiet thin and very tired.
Andris like a brave warrior, went up to him and asked for his autograph. Sting did
not say a word, he just reached for the pen and signed Andris' DVD cover very quickly.
Some seconds later, the bodyguards started to shout with us beacuse we were invited
to the hotel to make an interview with Dom and not to bother Sting. We did not disturb
him at all, because he did not refuse to give us an autograph, but all the guards
were really aggressive and rude with us. We did not care about this, so we sat down
again and were waiting for our interviewee. Andris was still in shock after meeting
Sting. I can understand him. I was in shock too four years ago when I personally gave
him the first Fanbook. Then we also saw Rhani, Keith, Kipper and Dom as they were
walking to the elevators. Five minutes later, Dom appeared in the lobby in a new
T-shirt. He was ready to be interviewed. We shook hands and introduced ourselves.
We were the first ones to go, so we went to the meeting room. We had only 20 minutes,
so we were in a hurry. I have to admit, Dom is a very nice guy with an excellent sense
of humour. During our interview session, I asked him about his childhood, his works
before Sting, his role in Sting's band, his co-writing with Sting, his favourite Sting
songs, his latest works 'Shapes' and 'Third World', his favourite jazz
musicians and many many more. It was quite interesting and amazing!

HANDING THE FANBOOK 2004 TO STING
5 June 2004
Felvonulási tér, Budapest, Hungary
A review by Gergely Nagy
As you might already know, Attis (a very good friend of mine, who is the webmaster
of www.sting.hu and I started to collect letters
and photos to our favourite musician via the Internet at
love2.sting.hu. During our three-month campaign, 'Send Your Love to Sting!'
from 1st March to 1st June 2004, we received 200 messages and 78 pictures altogether.
Fans from 5 continents and 37 countries from Argentina to Yugoslavia wanted to express
their feelings about Sting's wonderful music and lyrics. Being Hungarian citizens,
we are really proud of the fact that more than one third of all messages were written
by fellow fans from Hungary. Interestingly enough, the youngest person who wrote was
11 years old and the oldest one was 70 years old. For more statistics, please check
out this page. Every message was printed without
any modifications to Sting. We have to let you know that the downloadable public
version of Fanbook2004 does not include any e-mail
addresses, postal addresses and telephone numbers because of the protection of moral
rights.
So, back to the day of 5th June, there was an incredibly huge crowd in Dózsa
György Road, in Heroes' Square and in the surrounding streets of Budapest.
Fortunately, my fiancée, Kati and I received two T-Mobile VIP tickets just
before the show, so we were able to sit really close to the stage, while others were
'packed like lemmings' outside the fence. Thanks to Dani, one of the members
of our fan club, two really good seats were reserved for us in advance in the VIP
area of 6,000 people. After the performance of ten Hungarian singers, Suzanne Vega
and her band from New York City came to the stage at 7:00 p.m. It was high time for
me to collect my two good friends, Attis, the editor of Sting.hu,
and Zoli, the inventor of the idea of the Fanbook. Both of them were standing
somewhere outside the VIP area together with nearly 500,000 people. We could hardly
hear each others' voices on our mobile phones because of the loud music and the
audience. While I was looking for them, I saw as Sting and his bands' cars arrived
to the backstage area. Finally, I was able to get both of my friends through
three VIP checkpoints with my invalid tickets. :-)
Around ten or twelve professional photographers and some other people (e.g. winners
of different radio contests) were waiting at the entrance door of the backstage.
The other fans also wanted to look into the pages of the Fanbook 2004, which they
really liked. At 7:45 p.m. Éva Márkus from Universal Music Hungary
came out and talked to us. There was a short briefing before the meet & greet
party e.g. we must not leave the group in the backstage area and we were not
allowed to take any private pictures. As I started to get inside a small town of
caravans behind the scenes with a bunch of people, I became very anxious. It was
a fantastic moment when I realised that I was going to meet personally my favourite
musician again and give him our unique present. Wow! As we were climbing up the stairs
into a hall, we saw Kipper and waved to him, then he smiled and welcomed us.
We were asked to stand in a circle and wait until Sting arrived, not to rush to
him. We sat down and were waiting for some minutes. It was 17 lucky people
altogether attending the meet & greet party including us. We were really excited
until Sting appeared at the door with his tour manager, Bill Francis and a lady,
a Hungarian organiser, who hosted him. He wore his usual stage clothes, dark
striped shirt with white collars and dark trousers. Honestly, he looked much
better than the day before. First, the marketing manager of Universal Music
Hungary, Csaba Ajtony welcomed Sting and gave him the gold record of 'Sacred Love'.
We applaused him because of the 16,000 sold copies in Hungary. Then Sting started
to walk around the room almost silently, shaking hands with all the fans and
giving some autographs, while two professional photographers were shooting a
lot of pictures. Péter Geszti, a Hungarian rapper and director of an
advertising agency, which prepared the whole launch campaign for T-Mobile also
met and talked to Sting. As Sting was walking to us, he said: 'I'm gonna
sign anything!' and then smiled.
Suddenly he was standing in front of me and shook my hand. I welcomed him: 'Hi
Sting! My name is Greg and I’m one of the founders of your Hungarian fan club.'
And then, I continued: 'You may remember us, because four years ago we gave a
similar present to you. Our current campaign is called 'Send Your Love To Sting!'
and this Fanbook contains a lot of messages from your fans all over the world. We
hope you will find it enjoyable to read.', I also added: 'It contains 200
messages and 78 pictures from 37 countries and 5 continents. This is our feedback
for you.' I do not remember whether he said anything apart from 'Thank you.
Thank you so much.', but he looked really excited. When I finally gave the
book to his hands he started to read into it immediately. On the second page,
Sting noticed the picture of a young lady, María Elena from Uruguay, and
he looked as if he were just saying: 'Wow! She is so pretty. I am glad she is
one of my fans.', then we laughed together with him. It seemed that he really
appreciated to receive such a thoughtful present from his fans and his face became
very cheerful. He also started to sign photos, covers and books for Attis, Zoli
and me. When he noticed that we have a copy of his memoir, 'Broken Music'
he asked me: 'Is this the German version?', 'No. It is the English one,
but we also have your book in Hungarian as well.' I replied. 'Yes, I have
heard about it. Have you read it already?', 'Yes, we have.' said Attis
and I. 'Is the translation good?' asked Sting, 'Yes it is, of course!'
we replied with enthusiasm to our hero. Then he also signed Attis' book
'Széttört zene', the Hungarian version of 'Broken Music'.
My friend asked Sting to write the words 'To Attis' as well, above his
signature. Sting said OK and then he added a funny comment: Attila, the Hun!,
which absolutely amazed us. Marcell Szabó
(www.marcello-design.hu), a young
designer gave Sting a present as well, a wine bottle rack, which had a shape
like a guitar neck. Sting liked it very much, but after lifting the present,
he found it too heavy and handed it over to Bill Francis.
We were really proud that Sting held our Fanbook in his hand or under his arms
during the rest of the meet & greet event. After he waved good bye to us and
left the building he even started to read its pages. And what is more, we also
noticed that while he was chatting with Suzanne Vega in front of her dressing
room, he was holding it. That was an unforgettable encounter for us with Sting.
It was not too long but it was very long-awaited. We managed to send our love
to Sting through this Fanbook! Thank you very much for all of your messages and
photos! Mission completed!

STING'S LARGEST SHOW EVER
5 June 2004
Felvonulási tér, Budapest, Hungary
A review by Gergely Nagy
Almost 500,000 people attended the grand ceremony marking the rebranding of
the biggest Hungarian mobile operator on T-Mobile day, 5th June 2004.
Luckily, rain spared the audience at the free mega-party. The spectators
could follow the events on five giant screens that presented the latest
sound and light technology. 300,000 cans of Coca-Cola and tens of thousands
of pink frisbees were distributed among participants. In the sky, a huge
illuminated pink zeppelin carried the new logo of the rebranded mobile company.
The biggest Hungarian and foreign stars entertained the audience of the concert
that counts as one of the biggest European music events. Suzanne Vega also
appeared on stage before Sting's performance of almost two hours.

2nd encore

Duration: 1 hour 55 minutes
Some minutes passed 9:00 p.m. when the stage grew dark and the first notes of
the instrumental version of 'Thousand Years' sounded. First, the band
came out to the huge stage, Dom, Jason, Joy, Donna, Kipper, Keith and Rhani,
then Sting appeared in the middle without any instruments and they started to
play the techno remix of 'Send Your Love'. At the end of the song,
some really fine drum and percussion solos were performed by Keith and Rhani.
By the way, the stage was really huge, but there were no movie clips played in
the background as it was usual at Sting's previous shows. Dominic's great
guitar riff of 'Inside' came next, the whole song was magnificent,
although it was not ended with the duet of Joy and Sting as we saw it on the
DVD, but in a cool jazzy way. The next tune was an old hit from the ablum
'...Nothing Like The Sun', called 'We'll Be Together', which had
also been played at the sound check in the afternoon. It began with phone rings
just like in the unreleased version on 'Fields Of Gold – The Best Of Sting
1984-1994'. Dom did great guitar solos in the song and the lovely vocalist
girls were really great while Jason played in Hammond organ tone. Sting said
'Thank you! How nice to be back in Budapest! How are you feeling? Good?'
and then he introduced his band. In 'Dead Man's Rope' Sting messed up
the lyrics by singing the verse 'Now I'm suspended between my darkest fears
and dearest hope...' instead of 'If you're walking to escape, to escape
from your affliction...', so because of that he had to skip a whole verse.
This touching song had a country style ending, so I prefer the album version
better.
The first Police classic was 'Synchronicity II' which sounded exactly
the same as ten years ago... It was just brilliant! Then Sting asked the
audience again 'How do you feel now? Good?'. Nearly 500,000 people cheered.
'Whenever I Say Your Name' followed the previous speedy tune. I was
amazed by Joy's voice, she sounded fantastic! Sting grabbed his bass towards
the end and Joy got her knees while she was singing the final lines of this
wonderful composition. This was one of the most memorable moments of the whole
show. My all-time favourite, 'I Was Brought To My Senses' was really a
pleasant surprise in the set-list. Jason's piano solo was excellent, though I
missed a saxophone or trumpet solo very much. The song finished with short
breaks which proved to be a very funny ending. The arrangement of
'This War' was reinvented compared to the CD version. As far as I
recognised, it included the main theme and the bass line of Miles Davis'
'It's About That Time'. Dominic Miller played the starring role and
it really rocked!
It was strange to hear 'Fragile' in the middle of the set, but to be
honest, it had a very close link to the previous tune. 'Fraglie' is also
a protest against war and violence, although in a different way. Sting played the
acoustic guitar and Dom played a Sting signature Fender Precision bass. The show
was not over after the final note, it continued with the romantic melodies of
'Fields Of Gold' in which Dom's guitar solo was perfectly performed.
'Sacred Love' had great percussion and bass parts, and I think Sting's
voice was in top form, so he could sing the highest notes easily. The current
single, 'Stolen Car' was played in a very funny way, it had a calypso
kind of song feeling, and it was great when the vocalist girls danced in the
middle of the stage almost during the whole song. 'Englishman In New York'
was undoubtedly one of the most well-known songs, so everyone sang along with
Sting, which must have been a great experience for him as well. During this tune,
I called up my father and my brother on my mobile phone to broadcast the live
show for them. They heard some snippets of the refrain!
The second Police number, 'Roxanne' was a 10-minute reggae version with
a long sing-along part and some pieces of 'Spirits In The Material World'.
The last song was the medley of 'Never Coming Home' and 'When The World's
Running Down...' before the first encore. Sting sang the lines so fast as
if he was doing rap. Jason's keyboard solo was magnificent, but Dom played his
usual solo from 'Bring On The Night'. Sting and the band came back to the
stage to play 'Desert Rose'. Some of Cheb Mami's voice tracks were used,
and there was a marvellous percussion part as well, thanks to Rhani. In my opinion,
this song was the second peak during this fantastic night! 'If I Ever Lose My
Faith In You' came next, in which Kipper played some very funny harmonica
melodies. The song was great as usual, dynamic and powerful and it also contained
some elements which reminded me of 'Jeremiah Blues'. 'Every Breath You
Take' proved to be the third most popular song for the Hungarian audience,
because each and every person sang it together with Sting. After the usual
introduction of the band, Sting also chanted the refrain of the song 'Brand
New Day'. The second encore and the final tune was 'A Thousand Years',
but this time the original one with vocals. Sting was sitting when he started
to play his guitar, it was a great improvisational theme. The members of the
band were bowed and waved to their biggest crowd ever.
Unfortunately, I really missed Vinnie Colaiuta on drums and Chris Botti on trumpet,
and the songs like 'The Book Of My Life', 'Waking On The Moon',
'Forget About The Future'. Anyway, the whole concert was a dream to me!
Approximately half a million people in my hometown, Budapest at Sting’s free show!
I still cannot believe it! I think it’s just impossible to be surpassed!!! :-)
