At the Zénith d'Auvergne, 7,000 people came to sing with Sting...
7,000 people responded to Sting's invitation on Wednesday, November 2nd, at the Zénith d'Auvergne, in Cournon (Puy-de-Dôme).
Almost extra time. Sting has been on stage for about 90 minutes. Every breath you take brings the Zénith 7,000 fans to their feet, some of them from the very beginning, that of The Police.
Soon everyone will be leaving singing Rooooxane in their cars - it's a must, right? You've done it, say so. Just as you hummed Walking on the Moon, Shape of My Heart, Brand New Day, Message in a Bottle, Englishman in New York, and even the Marley hit that followed, "So Lonely." So many hits, part of the world pop-rock heritage, paraded, that's the word, in tight ranks on Wednesday evening, November 2nd.
Otherwise? A no-frills stage design, the songs and their performer - who still rocks skinny jeans incredibly well at over seventy - don't need much to exist other than a few very talented musicians and a big, clean sound. A great evening.
