"Sting's Back To Bass tour started in 2011, launched its Canadian leg in May and has been collecting stunning reviews and huge crowds at every stop. The tour is built on simplicity; six musicians, a bit of razzle, some musical dazzle. Original E-Streeter David Sancious sits at the Keyboard, with drummer Vinnie Colaiuta and guitarist Dominic Miller, violin and mandolin from Peter Tickell and the added richness of Jo Lawry's backing vocals. It's a tight, intimate group you might like to see at Joe's, but they had no trouble filling every ear at Mile One. Can we single out one performer as shining? No, Each brought maximum talent to the stage. Nicely chosen. (How does one get hired to play for Sting, anyway?) On their feet from the moment the show opened with 'If I Ever Lose My Faith In You', a Grammy-winning tune from 1993's 'Ten Summoner's Tales', the crowd ate it up..."

Sting was joined by surprise guest Paul Simon at his Back To Bass concert at the Borgata in Atlantic City, where they paired up for performances of "The Boxer" and "Fields Of Gold." Check out this shot of the two rehearsing before the concert.
