Sting Performs Russians in Chicago at Ravinia Festival

Here is Sting performing “Russians” in Chicago at Ravinia Festival on July 18, 2010. This was one of my favorite songs of the evening with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra on the Symphonicity Tour. The view from the back is not great, but you can hear the spectacular orchestral interpretation of the entire song. It’s too bad this amazing song didn’t make it onto the Symphonicities CD; I really wish it could have been included. While you won’t find it there, you can enjoy it here live!

    Thank you for taking the time to post your vid of the concert, Kathy. I get chills every time I hear ‘Russians” especially now with the new arrangement. I am soooo loking forward to the Berlin CD/ DVD since I missed him in Tampa and West Palm.

    Happy Holidays,
