DVD Reviews of Bring on the Night
DVD Review: Sting during his pretentious phase .......
Summary: 2 Stars
Probably my own fault but I hadn't realized that this is a quite early video dating from the period not long after Sting left Police. It isn't a full length rock concert - it is more of a documentary - and it was probably very enjoyable in its day. However, it isn't much of a spectacle as a Blu-ray offering and I'm afraid that, despite being a fan of Sting and his work, I just didn't enjoy his persona in this recording. Maybe Blu-ray has just the raised the bar on recent recordings and hence, in comparison to other offerings, my expectations were not met here. Most Sting fans will like this but will probably also own the DVD already - there is nothing in my mind to justify the increased cost of Blu-ray.DVD Review: Bring it home
Summary: 5 Stars
I first heard the cut "Bring on the Night" on youtube.com and loved it. So I browsed over to Amazon and bought the DVD. Yes. The DVD was produced way back when but it still holds up today as a classic performance. It is a very enjoyable journey that brings together a band exploding with professional talent and how they evolved into a seamless ensemble of rock and jazz. I feel that you can enjoy this work over and over on any Sunday afternoon and find it a worthy buy.
DVD Review: Incredible sound, interesting material
Summary: 4 Stars
This film is an interesting mix of interview, rehearsal, and finally performance, of Sting's first solo effort after the Police. The sound and picture of the Blu-ray disk are outstanding; I knock off one star only because I didn't find the film quite as compelling as, say, Roy Orbison's Black and White Night.DVD Review: Sting: Bring on the Night - Blu-ray Info

DVD Review: 5 star for content, but disappointed with the audio and video quality
Summary: 5 Stars
I hadn't seen this on sd dvd but I enjoyed the content. I became interested in Sting a little later than when this was made so I learned a lot about Sting. The video quality is poor. Although the colors are good there is a lot of grain, some dirt and white sparkles throughout. I know this was made years ago so that may account for it. I don't know how it compares to the sd dvd. The audio is lacking LFE and bass. It isn't obvious the surrounds are used, I had to stand by the speaker to check. Since I don't have the sd and I was able to get this for less than the cost of the sd, I'm glad I bought it. You might want to give it a rent before buying to check it out for yourself.
Description of Bring on the Night
Studio: Uni Dist Corp (music) Release Date: 10/03/2006It's been available on audio CD since 1985 (now in a newly-remastered edition), but the long-awaited release of the DVD version of Bring on the Night will be a cause for celebration for fans of both Sting and the Police. Directed by Michael Apted (Coal Miner's Daughter, Gorky Park, Enough), the film observes Sting and his new band as they rehearse and then perform their first concert, in Paris. The musicians, including Branford Marsalis (sax), Kenny Kirkland (keyboards), Darryl Jones (bass), Omar Hakim (drums), and two backing vocalists, are all superb, all with strong jazz backgrounds but a good feel for rock as well; and Sting's then-new material, drawn from his The Dream of the Blue Turtles album, is among the best of his solo career, especially "Consider Me Gone," "Children's Crusade," and the brilliant "Fortress Around Your Heart" (there are also several Police tunes, including "Roxanne" and "Message in a Bottle"). Equally compelling, surprisingly, are the insights, intended or otherwise, into the characters of the various participants. Sting himself is a bit of a stiff, frankly. Guarded, controlled, and not a little arrogant (he calls the pop music of the day "reactionary and racist"--except his, of course), he's in direct contrast to the others, especially the outspoken, irrepressible Marsalis, who's not at all shy about needling his basically humorless boss; Sting's manager, Miles Copeland, also has no problem saying exactly what he thinks. With a crisp digital transfer and remastered digital sound, Bring on the Night is highly recommended on every level. --Sam Graham
