Yoga golden oldie



OK, what a tough crowd this is to please.

To address the mature readers of this blog, here's Sting doing a funky version of primary in his undies for a pre-show warmup in 1993. He still has a lot of his hair! I'm impressed with how well he does. Well, I suppose his arms in chat could be a little closer to his body.

But I'll just leave it up to the rest of you to offer your thoughts, fan notes, etc.

Cool video! I saw him open for the Dead in 93... wonder if he did that before the show?

I don't know ... his breathing was pretty ragged ... but his focus was good through whoever was hollering about something about money in the first part of the clip!

sting is totally hot. pi'ikea's right, though. he needs to work on his breath. his sun sals are totally eddie stern.

Many moons ago (in about 1983) I did a fan club gig by the police at the marquee in wardour street. that was cool.

Oh, you're right, Pi and Lax, his breath is all over the place! It doesn't match his movements.

I was a bit distracted. :)

Anna: This was the text accomanying the vid on youtube:

This was shot just before Sting's Ten Summoner's Tales Tour concert at Izmir's Antik Tiyatro Ephesus in Turkey on 2 July 1993. This ancient amphitheatre is just around the corner from both the first library and the first whorehouse in the world. Sting would typically practice yoga before each gig. The clip is supplemented with various images of Sting doing the other thing he does before a show i.e. waiting.
