Nothing comes close; #1 music doc ever.
28 September 2023
If you are reviewing this movie, there's a good chance you've seen many rock documentaries.

. Nothing comes close to this.

Little filler. Sensitivity to so much around the process. The rehearsals and song development.

Of course, this is a group that was brand new, so the variables were much greater. And those discoveries are shown in many cases.

Doing Russians during Trudie giving birth.

During the concert, breaking away for brief excerpts of rehearsal.

The fascination of all the American musicians in France, getting to know Sting, and the English culture. .

Omar, Hakim, such a great drummer. Add in Branford and the rest, and the sound was just outrageous.

This music / album documentary is both soulful and unique.

I like many rockumentaries and musicals. Concerning the former, nothing comes close to Bring In The Night. Absolutely Nothing. My wife and I watched this at the beach on vacation a few years back. She has little interest in music documentaries. When it was over, she just raved. Then there's Troy, my good buddy for decades and front man (lead guitarist and vocals), in the band. His words the first time he saw it some 37 years ago? "Bob, it sent chills down my spine it was so good. And yes, Sting is the best lyricist in history. Any genre, it does not matter. And 2nd place is a mile back!" I concur in that point. Nobody comes close.

Sting was great as the front man for the POLICE, but his work as a solo artist is SO FAR SUPERIOR it's amazing.

Enjoy this with some wine.

Bob.
