Sting: A perfectly executed show...
Backed by a perfect band, Sting gave a flawless concert last night at the Jean-Deschamps Theater. The venue was packed. And completely sold out after 1 hour and 45 minutes of a perfectly executed show, full of memories for at least three generations.
Sting's concert began with "If I Ever Lost My Faith in You" around 9:40 p.m. Like a message. He doesn't want to "lose faith in you (you)." The sound is crystal clear. The staging is refined. And from the very first notes, there is confidence, confidence in the man who has returned to Carcassonne to give a legendary concert. He wanted it to be so classy that he even did his own soundcheck that afternoon. Carcassonne is a sanctuary, his sanctuary.
Sting's voice, unchanged, his bass pressed against his stomach, almost always motionless, but "transmitting," communicating, only in French, demanding "support and love," unfolds 35 years of your lives. The audience is carried, transported. The hits of The Police, like his own, solo, follow one another, the audience is hooked on his lips as on the flights of the incredible backing singer Jo Lawry, on the violin notes of the young prodigy Peter Tickel. But that's just to name a few, because absolutely "nothing stands out" in this concert, which will remain long in the memory, perhaps one of the best Jean-Deschamps has heard in recent years.
Exultations abound, with So Lonely, Message in a Bottle, Roxanne, Every Breath You Take, and then, an emotional moment, with the finale, Fragile... for a magical end to the evening and start to the night, just like the nearly two hours spent at the Cité.
