Customer Reviews of Sting - Inside - The Songs of Sacred Love (Jewel Case)

Talks too much!
Great if not outstanding musically! However, if your looking for a concert followed by his thoughts and inspirations - not! Sting thinks he must interlace his music with the spoken word - which greatly takes away from this otherwise incredible work. You begin to drift into that magical place and then the concert cuts away - in the middle of the song - to listen to his thoughts on the tune!
Had it been any other musician - I would have shut the damn thing off and asked for my money back.

Great dvd!!!
This is a great concert. Great sound and vision. A must have for all Sting Fans. But I have a question. I'll love to watch "Bring On The Night" on dvd. Why is that the dvd is not available?
Also there's no edition for "Ten Summoner's Tales", "Fields of Gold" "The soul Cages concert" "Ten Summoner's Travel" I have all of these and more on my video/laserdisc collection. But why there isn't a dvd edition of those great materials?

Much better than the album
On the back of this DVD Sting is quoted saying that he hopes there is an improvement in these different versions over those of Sacred Love the album. There's a great improvement, these versions sound much more human and fresh, with a lot of subtleties thrown in that aren't noticed on the over-produced album. Send your love, inside, book of my life, never coming home, dead man's rope, are all much improved. Whenever I say your name is not that different from the album version, but still is slightly better here. And there's a really good song, Like a Beautiful Smile, that isn't included on the album (at least the international version).
In terms of quantity of interesting songs this is Sting's best performance since Ten Summoner's Tales, there are at least 7 worth while songs on Sacred Love, something that can't be matched by BND or Mercury Falling.
It doesn't get 5 stars because there are three long annoying songs that are pure generic filler: Stolen Car, Forget about the future and Sacred Love.
My personal recommendation would be to buy this instead of the album and if you can do as I have and burn the songs you like from this DVD on a regular cd.
