Sting in Cincinnati
by Loziric＠aol.com 27 Jul '04

Hi everyone! I went to the show last night in Cincinnati, I have no idea which show the critics are attending because the show i saw last night was amazing! 5th row center, my wife and I, Sting interacted with the crowd, he made lots of eye contact. He sang with Dominic, Shape of my Heart, and came back to introduce Annie Lennox (great set, lots of her fans there too). The band sounded awesome, as usual. He played the same set minus This War, Sych II, Every Little Thing, Seven Day, Englishman, Deas Man were all highlights. He had alot of fun, it was evident. I took many pictures, can't wait to see them. He's been the best in my eyes and will always be the best, simply amazing. Thanks. Louis

Hey everyone. I have two extra tickets to Hershey Park on Wednesday July 28th. They are row 25. I'm selling for any reasonable offer. Face vallue is $176.50 If all goes according to plan, Nicki and I will be at the park doing the rides all day. We'd love to meet up with some people (even if you don't get the tickets ;-) If anyone wants to firm up a deal, I will just give you my cell phone # and we can meet in the park at any point during the day or I can fedex them to you. Please let me know if you are interested. If no one takes, I will probably ebay them in two days or so... A few people on sting.com have offered 4 seats and no takers there. -Josh

need some help - photo of STING and BROOKE SHIELDS
by DtmrCls＠aol.com 22 Jul '04

22 Jul '04

Hi everybody as you might know (or not) I'm trying to get ALL the POLICE photos in chronological order. I've got some information on certain photos of STING and BROOKE SHIELDS I saw in several magazines. They are probably from late 1982. Here's the info ( I hope that someone knows which TV show is mentioned...): "The photos were taken at NBC Studios in NYC- Sting and Brooke were both guests on a tv show (which no longer airs) and the photos were taken backstage." was that the Letterman-show from November 10, 1982? any help is welcome!

Hi, I taped this show last Sunday. If anyone is interested in a copy, please let me know. I'm looking for Andy Summers, Eric Johnson, and Sting shows. Thanks!

Sting came out and sang Shape of My Heart for his final song. Annie Lenox was the second opening act. She rocked. The sounds system at the Tweeter Center was cutting in and out. They had technical problems so there is a noticeable difference in sound at some parts during the show. When all the speakers worked, the sound quality was superb. The show was taped center stage, from the front of the lawn. Sting had two drummers, two keyboard players, two backup singers, one guitarist, and he played Bass. Synchronicity II still did not sound as full as it did when the trio of The Police played it. They did a cool improvisation during Roxanne. Stings voice sounded overall healthy.

Stolen Car Remix
by Josh Corwin 21 Jul '04

21 Jul '04

At the risk of getting flamed. I just heard the Will I Am Twista Remix....Not sure if there is more than one version. This one opens with Sting and a flat tuned flute in the beginning....I really like this song...I suppose you have to enjoy the genre, but its a really good blend of hip-hop with some R&B flare. Should really be getting radio play on hot 97 in NY or even Z-100 Let the flames begin.... -Josh

Chicago Sun-Times Review
by Chris Orange 21 Jul '04

21 Jul '04

Thanks for posting that review Ted. I doubt we'll be seeing that one anytime soon on sting.com. The review seems to echo my sentiments on their Toronto gig. In fact i think i used the words "lull" and "sleep" in the same sentence too! The journalist even goes so far as to peg Sting's Sacred Love as "bland adult-contemporary". I'm sure someone on this list would hotly debate that one but I'm finding myself agreeing more and more with that sad statement. I'm finding it interesting that Lennox is stealing the show in a lot of the reviews and remains much of the focal point for the writers. I wonder if Sting's ego will be able to accomodate another tour like this in the future? (kidding, no flames plz) One thing I think the reviewer is spot on about is Lennox's set-list being "less concerned with peddling her latest product than with taking listeners on an emotional roller coaster ride". I think even the most ardent Sting fan can agree with that one. Maybe he'll take note for his next tour. I'm going to go apply for a job at the Sun-Times now- hopefully they need another pop music critic. ;) Chris

need some help + new video arrivals
by Giovanni 20 Jul '04

20 Jul '04

Hello again from Giovanni. Does anybody have a list of Sting and Police songs covered by other artists, with the artists names that covered them? I've never been too much into those great songs covered, but I'd like to have a look at how many have come out. On the collection side, these are the videos that I will have in my hands very very soon: ANDY SUMMERS live in Parma, Italy 2004 (DVD) (private) STING live in Rome, 11/07/2004 (DVD) (private) STEWART COPELAND live in Caserta 07/2004 (DVD) STEWART COPELAND live in Milano 17/07/2004 (DVD) ALL OF THEM ARE COMPLETE CONCERT VIDEO RECORDINGS. They have been recorded by people that usually never trade or something like that, and they are not in this list. I'm open to swap with other live video recordings. Ciao ciao Giovanni http://www.stewartcopeland.it http://www.illegaltales.com

another Stewrt Copeland new release
by Giovanni 20 Jul '04

20 Jul '04

Hello everybody from Giovanni in Milano, Italy. First of all, I haven't read any new e-mail since July 9th; this means that if you wrote personally to me, I haven't read your post yet (I'll do it tonight and give you an answer as soon as possible). After the ORCHESTRALLI release, out in June, there is a new Stewart Copeland cd called LA NOTTE DELLA TARANTA, recorded live in Melpignano, Italy, in August 2003; same as Orchestralli, the cd is a combo set (cd+dvd) and was already available during the latest italian Stewart Copeland tour, at the venue where Stewart played; it will be officially released soon. If you want to know more about the NOTTE DELLA TARANTA live in Melpignano, you can check my website www.stewartcopeland.it, there is a section dedicated to that concert with lots of pics (I spent that day with Stewart). Soon I will add more details about the cd + dvd set. Ciao ciao Giovanni http://www.stewartcopeland.it http://www.illegaltales.com

Chorus to Like a Beautiful Smile
by Chris Orange 20 Jul '04

20 Jul '04

Hi Ross, I've pasted the sonnet below - Sting uses the entire sonnet throughout the song but the chorus is not by Shakespeare. "Neither a borrower nor a lender be" :) Cheers, Chris Sonnet 18 Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date: Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm'd: And every fair from fair sometimes declines, By chance, or nature's changing course untrimm'd; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st, Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st; So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Like A beautiful Smile chorus

Hi all, We know that "Like a Beautiful Smile" uses lines from Shakespeare. But is the chorus Shakespeare as well? Thou has thy doubts. Ross
