    Shaggy’s rhythm is impeccable. Sting’s voice and groove on that bass are butter. Dominic’s playing is perfectly in pocket and his dynamics are unbelievable. The backup singers are a beautiful base for everything else and contribute so much without overtaking anything. The mixing is perfect and the recording engineer is a genius. This is the perfect storm!

      You missed a perfect set of songs to share the set in the way that makes this magic. But 💯 agree on the rest. EDIT: I have to also add that handing it over on a song like Shape of My Heart to a backup singer shows so much respect.

    Couple of things. First off, I've always loved Sting's entire catalog, so no surprises on the greatness here. Secondly, that guitar player was low key great. He played so cleanly, with such touch, and made it look easy. I will say the biggest surprise was my newfound respect for Shaggy. The rhythm of his phrasing was so good and crisp. I also realized the man has a nice timbre to his voice and can do some decent singing. This whole collaboration is such a breath of fresh air. Kudos.
