I could only find a few references to this by using the "search" function, so I thought it would be a good idea to post a link to such a wonderful performance. Please forgive me if this is a repeat.

^^^^ I didn´t know that show.
It sounds AWESOME.
The best sound I´ve heard from that tour.
It´s saturday night, at home...I put my headphones, and lean back to my sofa...
I put my headphones and hit PLAY for me.

Thanks.

Vinnie was actually still a somewhat 'recovering' Vinnie, as he had just returned from missing two gigs due to some severe flu-like symptoms. From the stellar performance, one would never know it though.
The official tour for Ten Summoners Tales had ended in March of 94. Sting then released the Fields Of Gold : Best of Sting around September of 94 and the band reconvened for live shows and various TV performances to promote that collection...which explains the presence of When We Dance (the new single from the collection) and Take Me To The Sunshine (performed in Japan due to the inclusion of the song as a special feature bonus track on the Japanese version - and also the use of the song in a TV advertisement for a golf course in Japan).
While Colaiuta was ill, a South African drummer named Ian Herman filled in for a gig in Johannesburg and Manu Katche' handled the drumming at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

Checked out some Modern Essentials in person the other day...almost left with a 22" ride, but at 500 it's not a trivial purchase.

Pretty cymbals, very unique and complex sounding, with some low end power to them. The bell is unreal on that cymbal.

Crashes are very low pitched.
