Sting's rehearsal sessions for MTV Unplugged - straight from the soundboard!
This is a fascinating glimpse into the process that goes into putting a performance together.
Featuring Sting's legendary lineup from "The Soul Cages" and "Ten Summoners' Tales" tours, this 70+ minute recording reveals how Sting breaks down his band's existing "electric" arrangements and rebuilds them to suit the acoustic format.tracks 6 and 7 are particularly interesting in this regard.The band also tries some tunes that don't make it to the final broadcast setlist.
