Sting - Fragile (September 11, 2001 in Tuscany, Italy)

Музыка

Sting took the stage Tuesday night September 11, in Tuscany, Italy, to record ...On Such A Night, his first live album in 15 years. The show was performed before an exclusive audience of two hundred invited guests on a small plaza in the Italian region where Sting has a residence.
The concert was to be webcast at 3 p.m. ET on Yahoo! however in the wake of the airline hijackings, Sting decided to broadcast only one song, "Fragile" as a tribute to the victims and their families.
This message appeared on Yahoo! prior to Sting taking the stage for his live webcast:
"We are performing the song 'Fragile' as a prayer and a mark of respect for those people who have died or are suffering as a result of this morning's tragedy. We are shutting down the webcast following this song.
Sting"
At 3 pm ET Sting emerged to applause and offered the following thoughts:
"Thank you everybody. I'd like to say a few words before we start.
This was to be a very joyous occasion tonight. After the horrific events of today, it simply can't be a joyous occasion. We have three choices, one is the show must go on, the other is not to do anything at all, and the band and I came up with a compromise we'd like to have one number on the webcast for the rest of the world to see and then shut it off as a token of respect to those who lost their lives and those who have lost loved ones in this terrible event.
And then it's up to you and how you feel. I'd like a minute of silence after that song, I don't want any applause, I just want us to stand there and think about what happened today. It's difficult for all of us. I'm angry, I'm confused, I'm frightened, and I don't really want to give this meaningless act of violence any credence. It's totally and utterly pointless. We'll sing this song for those people who have lost their lives. Thank you."

    I remember seeing this replayed at the 9/11 Fundraiser telethon....an amazing tribute at JUST the right time. Keep in mind, they were 6 hours ahead of NYC. So this means they played and recorded this song at 2-3pm NYC time ON 9/11. A mere 8 hrs after the crashes, 5-6 hours after the Towers fell. I remember my emotions at that time of the day, I was a mess. What courage it took for them to perform. Bravo to Sting and his band.

    "..it's obvious he KNOWS better, but of course, it FEELS better to be a liberal......" Well, after the utterly idiotic war in Iraq which set that part of the world on fire, it certainly felt good to be on the smarter side of history. And now, pretty much on a daily level, it feels good not to be conservative. And once more on the smarter side of history. But then again, all those spineless republicans will once more try to blame a single person and pretend they would not have followed into the idiocy like brainless lemmings. Just like you did before. Just like you will do it the next time.

    Sometimes I think people from the Middle East were born to hate. But recently I also think many Americans are born to hate. They follow in the footsteps of their parents. I had a father who was such a racist. He called everyone who wasn't white horrible names. He was so mean, to me, my sister, my mother. He was bipolar, my grandfather was cruel and bipolar, in his entire life to my knowledge, my grandfather never told anyone, not even my beloved grandmother " I love you." Only until the end of his life my father ever became a changed man. I am so thankful I'm not like he was.

    All throughout my childhood, this was just another Sting song. Since seeing this performance, though, especially given the context it's now one of those songs that I find emotionally difficult to listen to (up there with Dire Straits' _Brothers in Arms_ and Sade's _Pearls)_ Just a 9/11 story: I was sixteen at the time, living in Cornwall, Ontario. I learned shortly after the event that the son of my second grade teacher had been killed in the attack. My family and I decided we would go to the funeral (she had taught both my sister and me, and she volunteered with my mum). We literally could not find a place to park when we arrived; it was like the whole city showed up to pay their respects.

    It was this performance after which I vowed that I would see this man perform live at least once before I died. One of the few things that made my "bucket list" even though I've never really had one except for those very powerful things that I usually cross off right away. After missing the Police reunion tour for lack of $, when I found out about Symphonicities 36 hrs before the concert, I didn't care if they shut off my utilities which were past due, I would go see it.
