Sting kicks off U.S. tour, mixes new and old songs
Even without the vocal accompaniment of Algerian singer Cheb Mami, Sting, surrounded by orange flames of tissue, performs a rich version of the Arabic-Western duet "Desert Rose."
Rose.
The jazzy swoon of "Perfect Love ... Gone Wrong" gets a jolt in the middle from an energetic French rap, performed by drumman Manu Katche. In one of the concert's few moments of playfulness, Katche bounds across stage and dances behind Sting.

Chris Botti's trumpeting adds texture and depth to a number of Sting classics, such as "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free." And guitarist Dominic Miller got a chance to display his own solo talents, after opening act Jill Scott canceled because of illness.

His rendition of "Roxanne" started off slow, went into a musical free-form midway through, and ended back up to speed. And his energetic "Every Little Thing" was one of the biggest audience-pleasers of the night, propelling a mellow crowd to its feet.
As part of his encore, Sting performed "Message in a Bottle" with only his guitar and lots of help from the audience. His voice soared through the MCI Center, the large downtown venue here.
