Hi, Here comes my list: 1. Vinnie Colaiuta 2. Omar Hakim 3. Marvin "Smitty" Smith 4. Abe Laboriel, Jr. 5. Stewart Copeland Vinnie is an absolutely brilliant drummer with unbelievable skills, rhythm patterns and energy. He made Sting's songs groove... Manu Katché didn't get into my top 5, unfortunately.

Man, did you guys catch that A&E special? One word says it all, STING IS A F*CKING GENIUS!!!!!!!! What an unbelievable show!

A&E
by Sweetmomb＠cs.com 25 Nov '01

25 Nov '01

Hello all, The documentary repeats at 12 AM -- if you didn't see it, stay up. Set your VCR's. Having only limited modem access, I never heard the new remixes before this evening, and I have to say that I will, in all likelihood, buy some version of this CD when it becomes available. Two things stood out: first, rather than cheapening the moment, I think the decision to go ahead with the concert was the right decision, especially after seeing the discussion they had about what to do and whether to do it or not. They were all obviously affected, as the rest of the world was. I saw more than one member of the band wiping away tears during the show. Second, some of the new arrangements were fantastic. Anyone who has read my posts knows that "When We Dance" is my #1 favorite song. When Chris Botti said that he was driving when he first heard it and had to pull over and just listen... well, let me just say that that is exactly what I did when I first heard that song. And the "medley" with DSSCTM is brilliant. So, IMHO, see it, tape it, and enjoy it. It was more than a concert -- it was truly a slice of life, and I recommend it highly. And since we are all still suffering the aftereffects of September 11, let me leave you with some words of comfort from a poet named Dawn of Santa Fe that I heard before Thanksgiving: When you have come to the edge of all the light you know and are about to step off the cliff into the unknown, Faith is knowing that one of two things will happen: there will be something solid to stand on, or you will be taught to fly. Peace, Holly

Well done A&E
by Jeremy . 25 Nov '01

25 Nov '01

Hey Folks, I must commend A&E for what they captured from their week in Tuscany. So much of that show was what I really wanted to see, lots of relevent commentary, lots of nice rehearsals and pre-shop clips, not too much creedence given to the horrible part of the day, and a nice edit of the concert. I am not sure if the people at A&E were specifically fans before that, but as a long time fan, I think they did a wondeful job well done A&E Jer _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

A&E from Maggie
by Bill White 25 Nov '01

25 Nov '01

Trying this from home....sometimes it doesn't work. The A&E behind the scenes stuff is spectacular. Don't miss it! Janice Pendarvis is my new hero. You'll see why at the end of the behind the scenes portion. Don't want to spoil too much, but you'll see several songs from the Sept. 10 dress rehearsal that didn't make it on the CD or webcast. Hey, I love both Stewart and Sting, and even better together! (with a little Andy thrown in - no that's not a comment about his height!) There are so few of us around any more (I've learned lately just how large some fan groups are - U2, Dave Mathews, etc). Let's just all agree to disagree and go listen to our favorite album - WHICHEVER one that may be. Maggie Who is once again very happy that her husband really wanted a satelite dish. I can watch on east coast time!

ENOUGH ALREADY ! Please take this offline guys. David <whayuhsay(a)yahoo.com> To: Police Mailing List <police(a)mailman.xmission.com> Sent by: cc: police-admin(a)mailman.xm Subject: Re: [Police] Re: [stingus] Oysterhead HBO Go Stewart !!!!!!!!! ission.com 11/24/2001 07:57 PM Terrence, are you really a musician? It's not like he is sequencing every song. Like the Police, he uses it on selective songs. I hope you are aware there is sequenced music on Oyeterhead's album as well. The background music on the web site is looped sequenced music! Sting's latest album is a live album, his first in 15 bloody years... and instead of taking the easy route out of releasing one of the numerous shows they recorded, he gave us something much better with new arrangements.
