Message in a Bottle [5:56] Lineage: Master cassette > cassette > cassette > Stand-alone Pioneer CD burner > EAC > Magix Audio Cleaning Lab > WAV > FLAC Front-end (level 8) Comments: Fine recording from Sting's "Nothing Like The Sun" tour. My 2nd generation copy (on Sony UX90's -- ugh) had a great deal of fidelity to it, and very little processing was needed other than some de-hissing. The taper was evidently close up -- the audience noise is appropriate (between songs, etc.) and not distracting whatsoever. The performance is great. Sting is loose and funny -- at various points mocking Madonna, Bon Jovi, and Jimmy Swaggart -- and the band is definitely "on." A member of Sting's entourage (I assume his manager) interrupts the show to announce that Sting has won a Grammy (Best Pop Male Vocal Performance) during that night's ceremony; he gives a brief but emotional speech during the show. This tour is probably Sting's finest hour as a live performer, and I think this is one of the best recordings and performances around. I have no idea whether this show has been booted, and if so how the quality compares. This one's real good considering it was taped in the pre-digital era.
