    Hello all, I'm new here but have checked it out over the years. I thought someone here would know what I'm talking about, I saw this thing on TV in the early 90's where it was a trio with Vinnie, Sting playing an upright bass and this woman playing a grand piano and I can't seem to find a recording or video of this anywhere. Has anybody seen this?

    Sting Unplugged:

    This doesn't have a woman in it though, but it's the closest thing I can think of.

    I've got a video of Sting with Vinnie and he is playing double bass. But I think it was shot for British TV and is a concert in Newcastle I think. I shall try and dig it out...

    I would love to see that Newcastle concert again, and the South Bank Show Special on Mercury Falling... Lost on a video-tape I sadly no longer posess

    If my memory serves correctly Sting plays with some local musicians on there too.

    I've seen something like this in Sting Unplugged and also Ten Summoners Tales video... infact I remember a scene where the stand-up bass falls down (while sting is playing the elec). Pretty funny!
