LOS ANGELES (AP) - Sting has announced initial concert dates in support of his upcoming live album, All This Time, due November 20.

Other dates on the initial schedule include two shows in Colorado (Colorado Springs, December 9; Denver, December 10), a pair of charity-related shows in Los Angeles (December 12, 13), and one in Las Vegas (December 14).
