The My Songs tour focused the 2019 of the same name which delivered new versions of classic hits. A handful of songs from 2021’s “The Bridge” fit alongside them nicely.
Sting performs at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on Saturday, October 7, 2023. returned to the Hollywood Bowl stage for an encore on Saturday, he claimed to be at a loss: “My only problem,” the singer-bassist said, “is I have no idea what song you want to hear right now.”
Sting remains a musical wonder. His vocals throughout the night felt as strong and crisp as ever, shifting effortlessly early in the set from the rapid-fire delivery of the Police’s “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” to the soaring highs of “If You Love Somebody Set Them Free.” “So, that was a love song of a type,” Sting said after “If It’s Love,” the first of those two. “The least interesting love song is ‘I love you and you love me.’ It’s very nice but it’s not very interesting. Whereas I love you but you love somebody is painful but it’s interesting.”
The harmonica part on “Brand New Day” was originally recorded by Stevie Wonder, he reminded the crowd, introducing his harmonica player Shane Sager by jokingly wondering whether he could fill Stevie’s shoes. It’s a personal favorite for that reason, but it’s also a fantastic song, its reggae influence clear on the record, and clearer still on Saturday when Sting blended it with Bob Marley’s “No Woman No Cry,” which inspired it.
