Description:

Sting made his major label debut with the Police, a band with a unique sound style. After seven years of worldwide success with this band, Sting began his career as a solo artist in 1985. His musical sound was even broader than that of the Police, and he gained a huge following and established a great status as a rock artist. Sting's rare live archive is now released as a CD! The Soul Cages" was released four years after Sting's last album, overcoming a slump caused by the death of his father, and despite its heavy content, it sold well. The album was especially successful thanks to the great contribution of guitarist Dominic Miller, who supported Sting's activities as his right-hand man from this album onward. On October 2, 1991 in Los Angeles, Sting celebrated his 40th birthday by performing 191 shows on his world tour. The concert was recorded and broadcast as a special program on PBS (U.S.), and this album is a live album using the sound sources used for the broadcast.This live album is a complete recording of the concert, including Police numbers and encores. Unlike previous tours, the four-piece band's performance is simple and straightforward, reminiscent of the Police's days. Andy Summers from the Police joins the band to celebrate Sting's birthday as a guest on three songs, and the performance reminds us how great the Police are!
