Description
Two musicians are performing on stage in a gymnasium-like venue. On the right, Sting plays a bass guitar and looks toward the camera, while the person on the left plays an electric guitar. A microphone stands in the center foreground. In front of the stage, a densely packed audience is visible, with several people raising their hands. The scene is lit by stage lights, and large speaker cabinets and gym equipment can be seen in the background., most likely in the Clark Gym on the State University of New York at Buffalo, South Campus.
