Stockholm gig
by Ulrica & Patrik 30 Apr '04

30 Apr '04

Hi everybody! Heres my very short review of tonights Stockholm gig: CRAP ;-) Why, you say? It was cancelled :-( I drove 500 kilometers from my hometown to the town of Norrköping (wich is 100 kilometers from Stockholm) when my phone rang. It was my dad who had seen that the show was cancelled in a swedish newspaper on the web. It was just for me to turn around and drive back, 1000 kilometers for nothing! Hope your days has been better than mine. Cheers, Patrik

POLICE / STING outfit question
by DtmrCls＠aol.com 29 Apr '04

29 Apr '04

Hi I guess all the questions I ask here about ancient POLICE topics are only interesting for about a dozen people in the world. But I won't give up! I've got a rare photo from a Synchronicity concert. Sting is wearing a BLACK (!) Synchronicity coat. It looks exactly like the coloured one from the Atlanta video. Did anyone ever see a Synchronicity concert with this BLACK coat? I need to date this photo. bye Dietmar

William Blake uncredited?
by Jason Sheldon 29 Apr '04

29 Apr '04

Sorry if this is old news... but William Blakes poem "Auguries of Innocence" is appearing everywhere on TV at the moments (adverts, trailers, documentaries etc).... and it got me thinking.... How come Shakespeare get's a credit in the sleeve notes, but William Blake doesn't, for the influence (!?) his poem had on the first lines of Send Your Love? J.

POLICE concerts

Hi I still try to get all the POLICE's activities in order. I need some help from everybody who ever visited a POLICE concert. Let me know which concerts actually took place. I would need the date, the town and the hall / arena where it took place. If you can send a scan of your ticket that would be even better. thanks Dietmar

OMG, I'm laughing so hard! I can just imagine someone thinking they're getting this great boot and hearing that! Thanks for the chuckle this morning. Needed it, especially since my camera got taken away and deleted last night at David Bowie : ( Michelle in TX In a message dated 4/28/04 1:38:33 AM, sting(a)shaw.ca writes: > > LOL, > > I'm afraid there is truth in that.

THE POLICE at the Commodore in Vancouver
by DtmrCls＠aol.com 28 Apr '04

28 Apr '04

Hello I need some help! I've bought about 50 live photos from ebay. The seller is sure they were taken at the Commodore in Vancouver. From the band's look the photos are from early 1980. I know that they played the Commodore in May 1979, but the photos are NOT from that concert. But the only Canadian concert known so far is from the Coliseum in Vancouver from February 2, 1980. The next known gig is from February 5. So there's quite a gap where some other concert may have taken place. I've already asked the Commodore people if they can help me out there. If anyone knows the inside of the Commodore well I would like to send him some scans of my photos where the stage and ceiling can be seen... thanks bye Dietmar
