I even wrote to them asking about it. They explained to me that the project was canceled due to "artistic reasons". I still have a marketing poster for the damn thing!<br>The only videos I'm aware of from the Soul Cages era which were actually released were the Concert and the Unplugged videos, both of which I have on LD. I also have a recording of the Pay-Per-View Birthday Concert (from the Hollywood Bowl), which was horrendous. His voice was completely shot.

I saw the Nothing Like The Sun tour, too. I still think the Blue Turtles band is one of the best ever, and the source of by far the best work Branford Marsalis has done.

Makes it a much different, sadder sentence. “Call me if Sting transfers all that hair currently on his face back to his head.”
