Sting established his solo career in 1987 with the masterpiece "...NOTHING LIKE THE SUN". This is the definitive edition with two of those masterpieces, a set of multi-camera professional shots from two South American performances. This is a two-disc set with the "November 20, 1987 Rio de Janeiro performance" on DISC 1 and the "December 11 Buenos Aires performance" on DISC 2. First, let's look back at the overall picture of the world tour and check the position of the show. 1987, May 1: Pop Stars perform Brecht/Weill performance, July 11: Umbria Jazz Festival performance, October 5 "...Nothing Like the Sun' released》・October 16th - November 16th: North America #1 (3 performances)・November 20th - December 11th: South America #1 (7 performances) ←★Here★・December 15th - 20th: UK (5 performances) 1988・January 20th - April 2nd: North America #2 (49 performances)・April 16th - July 3rd: Europe (50 performances)・July 10th - September 21st: North America #3 (43 performances)・September 30th - October 9th: India/Greece/Africa (4 performances)・October 12th - 15th: South America #2 (3 performances)・October 20th - November 21st: Japan/Australia (19 performances)This is Sting in 1987/1988. The main tour started with the new year's "North America #2", and throughout 1987, it was a promotional mini-tour of the album "...NOTHING LIKE THE SUN". The two performances in this work are the beginning of that. The Rio performance (DISC 1) was the first day of "South America #1", and the Buenos Airel performance (DISC 2) was the final day of the concert. These two performances were broadcast on local TV stations. The professional shots have become a long-standing staple. This work sets the best version. Let's introduce each one individually. DISC 1: Rio performance by the best master that you can't imagine being broadcast in South America The first to appear is the multi-camera professional shot of the "November 20th Rio performance". As mentioned above, it is a standard professional shot, but the quality is unprecedented. After all, it is a TV broadcast in South America in the 1980s, so it is natural that the masters up to now are covered in dubbing marks. Even the smooth image of the high-gene with worn edges was considered a hit even with little noise. However, the horizon of this work is not like that. Although the analog image quality is undeniable, the freshness that seems to be the 1st or 2nd generation is wonderful, and the vividness that remains even in the fine details is striking. Even in a close-up of Sting's face, the shadows and sweat flowing are clearly drawn, and the texture of the skin is clearly visible. Of course, the sound is also the same. Although it cannot be advertised as "official grade!" because it is mono, it is a well-mixed Gon Kujo sound board. However, the recording time is short. The contents will be described later, but the set edited to about 70 minutes according to the broadcast frame is far from a full show. DISC 2: A long Buenos Aires performance where you can enjoy a full show DISC 2 will dispel the lack of appetite of such Rio footage. This is a multi-camera pro shot of the "Buenos Aires performance on December 11th". This is not as high quality as the Rio footage, but that doesn't mean it's a bad video. The noiseless master freshness is superb, there is almost no shaking, distortion or discoloration (although the edges are sweet), and there is no white line noise. And above all, the complete recording of the full show is its greatest strength. Let's organize the set together with the Rio video (DISC 1) here. Nothing Like The Sun, The Lazarus Heart/We'll Be Together (★)/Be Still My Beating Heart (★★)/Englishman In New York/Sister Moon (★)/Rock Steady (★)/History Will Teach Us Nothing (★)/Straight To My Heart/They Dance Alone/Fragile (★)/Little Wing Others: Blue Turtle's Dream: Consider Me Gone/If You Love Somebody Set Them Free/Fortress Around Your Heart, Zenyatta Mondatta: Driven To Tears/When the World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around (★)/Don't Stand So Close To Me (★), Others: Roxanne (★)/Bring On The Night (★)/Message In A Bottle (★)/Too Much Information/Spirits In The Material World (★)/Get Up Stand Up *Note: Songs marked with "★" can be seen in both videos. The "★★" mark is a song that is only in the Rio footage (DISC 1). ...And so on. The medley performance has also been broken down to organize the two performances together, but the axis is clearly the just-released "...NOTHING LIKE THE SUN". Of the 12 songs on the album, all songs except "The Secret Marriage" are performed, and there are plenty of valuable songs unique to that time such as "The Lazarus Heart", "They Dance Alone", "Rock Steady" and "Little Wing". "History Will Teach Us Nothing" is particularly rare. It has only been played a handful of times, and especially in the Buenos Aires performance (DISC 2), it also includes Bob Marley's equally valuable "Get Up Stand Up". Such rare songs can also be witnessed with multi-camera pro shots. Sting was 36 years old, in the midst of his prime as both an artist and a singer. This is a two-disc set where you can enjoy his shining figure with multi-camera pro shots. A video masterpiece worthy of being called "Moving NOTHING LIKE THE SUN". Multi-camera pro shots of the "November 20, 1987 Rio de Janeiro performance / December 11, 1987 Buenos Aires performance". This is a two-disc set consisting of the Rio video (DISC 1) of the finest master that you wouldn't expect from a South American broadcast, and the Buenos Aires video (DISC 2) which contains a full show. The show, which features 11 of the 12 songs on the album, is worthy of being called "Moving NOTHING LIKE THE SUN", and you can enjoy plenty of rare songs such as "The Lazarus Heart", "They Dance Alone", "Rock Steady", and "History Will Teach Us Nothing".
