audio: broadcast soundboard, very good quality
lineage: RAI TV broadcast > VHS Master > unknown standalone dvd-r

Attention!: this is def a better source than the NTSC version! The quality is much more better, it does not contains these "image stumblings or skips". Unfortunately this DVD contains as well main mistakes in the DVD structure - it needs to repair and re-authored!!!! 

comment: 
Fantastic one off performance by Sting with Gil Evans' great jazz orchestra. Branford Marsalis sits in as well. A cd version of this show was released semi-legally out of Italy some years ago, so a few folks have heard these great jazzed up versions of Sting songs as well as some of the jazz standards, and even some Hendrix tunes.
