Half of the 20 songs in the set list were originally released with his former band.In previous shows, Sting also dug more deeply into his storied past: He originally launched the Sting 3.0 tour back in May at Dresden, Germany, with “Voices Inside My Head,” a song from Zenyatta Mondatta last played in 2006.
