Sting - 1991-02-17 - Beacon Theatre, NY (HQ Aud)

On February 14, 1991, I spent my first Valentine’s Day with my then girl friend, soon to be my fiancée and then my lovely bride. She had to wait until the next day, however, for her present, tickets to see Sting, one of her favorite musicians, at the Beacon Theater in New York. The memories of starting out together are still as fresh today as they were back in the early 1990’s. We sat in the last row on the floor at the Beacon that night, thankful that there’s not a bad seat anywhere in that building. We were presently surprised by the opening act, a singer by the name of Vinx. Sting was in top form, playing a nice combination of his solo work and tunes from his days with the Police. Maybe he knew it was a special night for the two of us, as he played one of my bride’s favorite songs, Fortress Around My Heart. Needless to say, my Valentine’s gift was a big success. Maybe that’s why, 2 weeks later, when I asked her to marry me, she said yes. This May, we’ll celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. It’s been the best 2 decades of my life and I look forward to spending every remaining day that I have on this earth with her. While I’ve never been able to find a recording of that February 15th show, I do have this high quality audience tape, from 2 days later, on February 17, 1991, 20 years ago today. This one is dedicated to my bride!
