If you had a problem validating the CD to download the bonus content. Email as referenced below: stingcom - 04.09.12 Got a problem? Anyone experiencing a problem with validating their CD should email tickets@pushsupport.com Thanks Sting.com Took a few days and they got back to me with a link and password to download. It seems they forgot to include the American CD release in the process.

Member, couldn't download-No reply from
I am a Sting.com member and I tried for several days to download "The Hounds of Winter" as was advertised, but I never saw any link to download the song in my user profile page... I wrote to help in "Sting.com", but nobody answered. Did you mean "paid membership" holders not just "members"? Then this should have been clarified before, expressed differently. I wish I could download it, it is a nice gesture towards (general) members. You know what happens when they make a mistake in a shop and they advertise something wrongly... they usually honour the mistake ;) - just saying. Thanks! x

I have a User Profile page and I have also bought the Album, I can't get a place on the User Profile Page to click or the "load CD now" on the other page. I am using my new iMac, and I have Java loaded. I loved your concert in Vancouver, Canada in December 2011!!

Won't Work For Me
Also got the mega box set of 25 YEARS, and the program won't validate.

UK disc will allow download
Apparently, the North American "Best Of 25 Years" disc does not work to validate. However, Disc 1 of the UK two-disc version of "Best Of 25 Years" was accepted. (on a Mac running OS X 10.6.8) I do not own the US box set as of yet, but judging from a few of the comments, the app does not accept those discs for validation either.

DL Won't Work For Me, Either
I appreciate the offer, but having bought the big box set, nothing works on my mac to allow me to access the song. I watched the whole of the video, but the program simply will not recognize my cd, no matter what I do. Any help?

Got the mega box set of 25 YEARS, and the program won't validate--even after trying the troubleshooting measure suggested on the youtube vid. Any suggestions?

How does it sound?
I'm very curious to know how the free download sounds. I loved the performance of HoW in Amsterdam. Is the download for a payed membership only? There is no download link on my User Profile page. Any suggestions?

This is precisely the kind of exclusive content that I think many of us will appreciate - Live recordings not available elsewhere. Fantastic idea! Thanks, D & W.

When she and Sting first visited South America's Amazon rainforest in 1988, Trudie Styler remembers flying into thick smoke from a fire raging below. "It was like seeing paradise and hell at the same time," she told a packed Carnegie Hall at last night's Revlon Concert for the Rainforest Fund. The evening's two-hour "Songs from the Silver Screen" event featured performances from Sir Elton John, James Taylor, Jennifer Hudson, Bruno Mars and more. Styler, who co-founded the Rainforest Fund to protect land and human rights for the indigenous there, singled out Chevron as the worst violator in Ecuador, where a court fined the oil giant $18 billion in February...
