Sting Chicago, IL Timothy White Sessions March 1991 Length: 95 Min Source: FM Quality: 10 Origin: ** Fri 05th Jan, 2007 11:32 GMT - DAD STING - complete Timothy White Sessions - Vol.1 1991 This is my first upload so ... hope it goes ok. This is Vol. 1 of what I have called the 'Complete Timothy White Sessions' to distinguish it from the 'Complete Chicago Sessions', a widely circulated bootleg (KTS 1994) which has only the music parts of Sting's two Chicago radio shows (1991 and 1993) with host Timothy White. This 2 volume (4 CD) set will include the whole shows, both interview and live music performances, which have never been on Dime as far as I know. Vol.2 (1993 session) will follow in a week or so. I do not have lineage for this, but have checked with Dime mods that it is lossless, and sound quality is about as good as it gets. The discs I received in a trade did not have separate tracks, but I have created these, and also made artwork. I have, of course, had to leave out the few officially-released tracks that were played, but have noted these on the artwork. I was not sure whether to keep the ad breaks, but did so for completeness, and also because I enjoy them ("sometimes you feel like a nut - sometimes you don't"). Timothy White, the famously bow-tied interviewer here, was a senior editor for 'Rolling Stone', then Editor in Chief of 'Billboard' from 1991 until his early death (aged 50) from a heart attack in 2002. He certainly conducts a great interview, though I have heard rumours that some of his lengthy, well-informed questions were over-dubbed after recording. The 91 session was recorded just after release of 'The Soul Cages', and 93 session just after release of 'Ten Summoners Tales', and both feature classy 'stripped-down' live performances by the great four-piece band of Sting (bass/vocals), Dominic Miller (guitar), David Sancious (piano) and Vinnie Colaiuta (drums). The interview segments are very interesting, giving insights into Sting's history, philosophy and songwriting techniques. I just hope that my occasionally temperamental computer can cope with this. And anyone who enjoys it can buy me a beer in the Royal Albert Hall bar on the first night of the Police reunion tour (hmmm) !
