I saw one of the best concerts of my life last night:  Sting and Peter Gabriel on stage together at the BB&T Center in Camden (the place on the waterfront that has gone through a number of name changes...most recently it was the Susquehanna Bank Center.)

What I enjoyed so much was that they sang some of each other's songs, while also performing their own.  Sting sang lead vocals on Gabriel's "Shock The Monkey," while Gabriel did a really cool rendition of "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free."  As a bonus, he added a bit of Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine" in the middle of that number.

Vocally, the guys were perfect.  Both in their mid-60s, they sounded and looked great, like they are enjoying this "Rock, Paper, Scissors" tour.  They played for more than 2 1/2 hours, so fans certainly got our money's worth.  All the reviews I've read and comments I heard were positive.  Seeing two established artists on stage playing with and off of each other seems a recipe for a super satisfying concert experience.   So now I want more!

My joyful reaction to last night's show got me thinking what other pairings I'd like to see on stage.  Maybe you can get your co-workers in on the conversation:  "What two artists would you like to see perform together?"  Here are some of my "dynamic duo" suggestions:  Adele with George Michael (or Sam Smith or Michael Buble,) Bruno Mars with Aretha Franklin, and how about getting "Voice" pals Adam Levine and Gwen Stefani together for a tour?

The floor is yours, ladies and gentlemen of Ocean County!  Which 2 artists would you like to see on stage together?
