    Seen Sting a couple times and once with the Police. I have always wanted to see Peter Gabriel. Should be a great show.

    The show was 3 hours long and I had a 2 hour drive home and went night nights, so no review until today.

    Great show, great selection of songs from both Gabriel and Sting. Crowd went wild when Gabriel started into 'Games without Frontiers' as well as In 'Your Eyes' and then again when Sting did 'Roxanne' and 'Everything She Does is Magic'. The Rhythm of the Heat was a good opener with music pounding and light show to boot.

    Overall the transition between songs and artist went well as each other would share or lend in backing vocals to the songs they were not lead in. Both artists were in top vocal form but I think Sting won out on the overall energy and performance.

    Peter Gabriel was why I attended but I was thoroughly entertained with Sting's performances as well. Great night of music and the crowd was very supportive for both artists.

    Highlights for me were Secret World, Message in a Bottle, Invisible Sun and In Your Eyes with Jennie Abrahamson.
    Standout performance with both singing together was Englishman in New York, they did a great job on that one.

    Best quote of the night was from Sting in referance to Brexit... ""We turned the TV on and wondered, 'What the f#*k had happened to our country."
