Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

When audiences first heard about this gig, the pairing of Paul Simon with Sting was one that may have struck many as not being an obvious combination and having seen the gig, for many it arguably still doesn’t – they’re an odd couple of monumentally iconic proportions but together they delivered a very special night indeed.

The stage was jam packed with musicians of the very highest quality – the session guys worked in shifts – some with Paul, some with Sting, including the legendary drummer Vinnie Colaiuta and some with both, which gave the whole night a real feeling of unity but what nobody could have expected was three gigs for the price of one.
