John's notes put this show around 1987 at Southwestern College with no source found and the venue only presumed. The stub settles both: Southwestern College Stadium, July 31, 1988. Also on the bill, recovered from setlist.fm's record of who played this room that night. setlist.fm stores no running order, so the slot each act played is unknown.
The moment
Peak conscience-pop Sting: ...Nothing Like the Sun was the album of jazz sidemen and Chilean widows, and six weeks after this show he'd be circling the globe on Amnesty International's Human Rights Now! tour with Springsteen and Peter Gabriel. The ex-Police frontman was at his most earnest and most enormous simultaneously — a college stadium in Chula Vista, Steel Pulse's roots reggae on the bill, Miller Genuine Draft on the ticket, human rights on the itinerary.
From the time
- ...Nothing Like the Sun
“The 1987 album of Sting's high-seriousness era — toured into the Amnesty world tour that fall.”
