At the time that I am listening to "The Police", on the radio played two songs from Sting's solo live: 'Roxanne' and 'Message In A Bottle'. These two songs have soul, feeling. Finally the LP it was not "The Police", not, is a concert organized by Amnesty International. The fact that I bought that LP by the songs from Sting, but, after listen and read those involved, I realized that this is one of the best performances and artists recorded in the 80s. Since the start with Sting is auspicious, then follows one of the memorable pieces for guitar solo "'Cause We've Ended As Lovers Up" Jeff Beck accompanied by none other than "slow hand Clapton" … and then two pieces from Clapton. Phil Collins also sings two of his "unplugged" hits "In The Air Tonight" and "The Roof Is Leaking" (both excellent acoustic versions).
Finally give way to the unforgettable veteran Donovan, with two of his hits of the folk era (which I like, of course).
As nothing is perfect in life, the weakest point of the recital is in charge of Bob Geldof (very detuned!)
