In early 1996, Sting released his fifth solo studio album, "Mercury Falling." It did reasonably well by his standards, selling over a million copies in the U.S., but it didn't have any big hits in the U.S., a first for one of his albums. Only three of the songs performed here come from that album, "Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot," "I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying," and "Lithium Sunset."
This episode is rather unusual for the series, because Sting often stopped in the middle of performing a song to talk about the song structure. Then he would finish it off. That happened for five songs. It's an interesting technique, though I wish he would have saved the talking for before or after those songs.
This album is 45 minutes long.

I couldn't find any really good images from this exact concert. So instead I used a photo taken somewhere in France some time in 1996.
Thank you so much for this!
