The two bands also merge and interact on several songs as well, resulting in some new twists on the old classics, and a very interesting show. Sting takes lead on Gabriel's Shock the Monkey and a snippet of Dancing with the Moonlight King, among others, and the two exchange vocals and harmonies on a number of songs. For example, Gabriel does a decidedly different version of Sting's 'If You Love Somebody Set Them Free', giving it a complete Gabriel-ized makeover, with very interesting results.
Most of the time this means singing background or harmony vocals on each others songs, but also several songs featuring co-lead vocals, and even some where the other artist takes the lead instead the original vocalist, sometimes even completely re-arranging the song into their own style. And what makes this collaborative show (tour) something more special than the usual double headliner show (each performer does their own set, then maybe perform together for a few songs at the end) is that this is a truly collaborative show throughout with both performers (and their bands) playing together on each others songs through the entire concert. Here's another current collaborative tour, featuring two solo rock icons playing some of their greatest hits together, Sting & Peter Gabriel. He wound up settling in the Netherlands, which is where he died from cancer in November 1999.Available in both Lossless (FLAC) and mp3 (320 kbps) versions and Europe, playing gigs and cutting the occasional record. This was the splashiest attempt to ride Hendrix's coattails Knight would ever attempt, but he kept grinding out a living in the U.K. He moved to London, forming a band called Curtis Knight, Zeus - "Fast" Eddie Clarke, who'd later join Motörhead, was among its ranks for a while - and he published a book named Jimi: An Intimate Biography in 1974. The lawsuits weren't settled prior to Hendrix's death, so they kept coming over the next few decades, but it was this association with Hendrix that provided Knight with a career. A bunch were issued under Hendrix's name on Capitol Records via a licensing agreement with PPX, but over the years they'd show up often, appearing under any number of variations on the names of Knight, the Squires, and Hendrix. These early singles and latter-day jams with Hendrix form the bulk of Curtis Knight's catalog. This legal dispute became protracted, complicated by the fact that Hendrix inexplicably kept returning to the studio to cut sessions with Knight while he was in the thick of proceedings. Chalpin claimed he owned Jimi, so Chandler owed him money.
This became a big deal once Chas Chandler signed Hendrix to a contract in 1969. Jimi later claimed he thought he was signing on to a role as a sideman, but the contract bound him to Chalpin's PPX Records. More consequentially, Knight helped encouraged Hendrix to sign a deal with record man Ed Chalpin. Not long after Jimi joined the Squires, Knight whisked him into the studio to record "How Would You Feel" a shameless rip of Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" and soon started writing with Hendrix. It's quite possible Knight saw something in Hendrix. A native of Kansas, Knight had previously spent time in California he appears in the film Pop Girl before relocating to New York, where he worked the circuit with the Squires, a workaday party R&B band. The singer gave the guitarist a spare axe and hired him to play with the Squires, Knight's band. Knight met a down-on-his-luck Hendrix living in a New York City hotel. Biography : If he is known at all, the Harlem-based '60s soul singer Curtis Knight is remembered for his connection to a pre-fame Jimi Hendrix.
