Length:
100 minutes.

contrast clause:
This recording was made from the opposite side of the hall (see seating map) than steerpike's recording.

Remarks:
This show was part of the 2011/2012 Back to Bass tour.
The Ziggo Dome is a new venue (capacity: 17,000) which was opened on June 24 (a week before Sting's performance).
That was maybe the reason that the logistics weren't that good as you might expect: looong queues in front of the (too few) entrances.
Doors were open at 18:30, we arrived at 19:30 and there were still thousands of people outside queuing.
At about 20:00 we were in the building so after a few minutes I decided to go to the toilet...when washing my hands I heard the opening chords
of "If I ever lose my faith in you" so that's why the very first start of the concert is missing (please excuse the little cracks during the first 30 seconds).
But thanks to steerpike we have a second recording...

Recording location:
section 103, row 1
