Sting fans stay away! He and his mgr, Miles Copeland are arrogant turn offs.

Apted is a marvelous documentarian - he caught the spirit of rehearsals, and the personal, creative dynamics between gifted musicians. Unfortunately, he also captured Sting and his manager Miles Copeland during a variety of candid and staged interviews. The two of them have the worst personalities you'll ever see in a documentary - arrogant, pompous, pretentious and in Copeland's case, just down right mean spirited to the point where you feared for the man's emotional stability. It was a real eye opener to see that a supposedly 'spiritual' talent of Sting's stature would employ such a truly tacky, nasty piece of work such as Miles Copeland. If you love Sting's music as I do, you'll not rent this thing because you'll never listen to him the same way again.

love this film

Overall it's very interesting to follow the start of Sting's "new" music career after The Police. I think a lot of fans might have been disappointed, since the music he started playing after leaving The Police was completely different from what he used to do. However, I think this movie really shows what a incredible and talented musician Sting is. "Bring on the night" is a film that all fans of Sting & The Police MUST see. It's interesting to hear Sting talking about some of his experiences considering music. Yes, he seems a little arrogant in person - almost depressed. But his stage prescens is one of a kind. His voice sounds better and more clean than when he was in The Police and it's fun to see him play other instruments than bass guitar, like piano and electric guitar. Not many people know that he also plays the saxophone, oboe, banjo and several other instruments and is in fact very scilled in playing them.
