`Roxanne`

`Roxanne` started in just white light & smoke & then on the 3rd of 4th chorus the stage was awash with red light & then straight into a cover of Bill Wither`s `Ain’t No Sunshine` and then back into `Roxanne`. Sting applauds the crowd and blows kisses to the audience and he and the band go off stage. There are a few moments of crowd whistling and then Sting returns for an encore. Three more songs are sung and he finishes with `Every breath you take` The band hug and high five each other before going to the center of the stage and with Sting in the center they take their bow and again thank the crowd

Encore

The crowd shout ,whistle and sing for more and they are soon rewarded. With a dark stage and with Sting in the center with just a spotlight on him he plays and finishes the concert with the breath-taking `Fragile ` “ Thank you very much we will see you again”
