"All This Time": The Concert/DVD, Release Date: December 4, 2001
The DVD is a 70-minute documentary of Sting and his band recording songs for his album "All This Time" and preparing for a live performance to celebrate the album in front of a small group of their family and friends in Tuscany, Italy. The performance was to be webcast live to fans on the Internet on September 11, 2001. However, the events of that day changed those plans. The webcast consisted of a very emotional and heart-felt rendition of the song "Fragile", and then the webcast was shut down. But the concert continued in Italy.
Sting's Comments about the Concert:
"Trudie and I lost a friend in the Twin Towers (investment banker Herman Sandler), and singing was the last thing I wanted to do, to be honest with you. I just wanted to crawl into a corner and cry. I put it to the band. I said, 'What do you want to do' And they all said, 'We wanna play.' It was a much more sombre show than what we had planned. But as the concert progressed, the mood changed. We felt we had every right to be there, listening to music, making music, singing; because really it's the opposite of what terrorism wants. Terrorism wants us to be afraid, to be frightened and to be controlled. So even though, at the time, I didn't want to do it, I've had no second thoughts about whether or not it was right to carry on with the show."
