'''''...All This Time''''' is a live album and concert film by Sting, recorded and filmed on 11 September 2001. It was recorded at Sting's Villa Il Palagio in Italy in front of a select audience drawn from his fan club and features live versions of Sting's songs from his Police and solo song catalogue. The album and video get their name from the song of the same name from his album ''The Soul Cages''. The concert documentary was directed by Jim Gable and the documentary portion was edited by Scott C. Wilson and Jeffrey Doe.

==Background== Sting wanted to put together a concert in his home at Villa Il Palagio in Tuscany, Italy, so he enlisted a group of musicians to practice and perform with him. The events leading up to the night of the performance were filmed, and during these events on the day of the performance, the September 11 attacks perpetrated against the United States occurred, and the assembled group of musicians was made aware of this. The group performed the concert as originally intended, although Sting indicated on the DVD documentary the tone of the evening was quite different from how it was originally intended. Additionally, the "Desert Rose" performance featuring vocalist Cheb Mami was canceled due to the same circumstances.

The album primarily consists of acoustic renditions of material in Sting's discography. Sting told ''Saga'' magazine that he was aiming for an "intimate feel" with the recordings for the purpose of attaining a "real atmosphere". Following the release of the album, Sting embarked on a tour consisting of over 250 shows.<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Simonart |first=Serge |date=January 2002|title=In His Tale |url=https://archive.org/details/2002-01-saga-magazine-01/912px-2002_01_SagaMagazine_02.jpg |access-date=9 February 2025 |magazine=Saga |page=34 |via=Internet Archive|language=en}}</ref>

Sting dedicated the concert to those who died on from the September 11 attacks. Inside the CD booklet, upon the first page, it is stated, "This album was recorded on September 11, 2001, and is respectfully dedicated to all those who lost their lives on that day." Thereafter, the lyrics for the included song "Fragile" are also transcribed; of the full song list comprising the CD, only the lyrics for this one song are within the booklet.
