[stingus] Reviews Sunday and Monday performances
by foxie 07 Jul '04

07 Jul '04

Once again, allow me to edit: ...Of course it was the Police numbers that the audience responded to most... ...the momentum was stunted by the mid-set lull -- that self-indulgent section of the program when artists force-feed their audience with ill-suited new material... ...the dreadful one-two punch of 'Whenever I Say Your Name' and 'Sacred Love,' which stank up the air with such ferocity that even the happily buzzing mosquitoes circling through the night were murdered by its dull and stagnant air. You had to wonder if some of the audience might have been felled as well, the best seated of whom shelled out a cool $100 per for the privilege... --- StingUs <frotri(a)panafonet.gr> wrote: > Sting, Lennox fill Mohegan Sun with love > Former Eurythmics singer outshines former Police > frontman > > By DAVID PENCEK > Norwich Bulletin > > Sting certainly shared the love Monday when his > "Sacred Love" tour hit the > Mohegan Sun Arena. > He began the night singing a duet with opening act > Dominic Miller, who > happens to play guitar in his band.

Stewart Copeland
by Phil Carreon 06 Jul '04

06 Jul '04

Hi all, I'm a HUGE Stewart Copeland fan. I have collected most of his post-Police stuff. Stewart just released an album (CD) titled 'Orchestralli'. I've been looking and calling for this thing for weeks now. I've tried Amazon.com, etc and still can't find it. I'm assuming it's been released only in Europe only? Really hoping that a fellow Copeland fan across the ocean could help. -Phil Carreon. California USA

RE: [Police] New Sting material on iTunes Music Store
by Fred Berthelot 03 Jul '04

03 Jul '04

The iTunes exclusive tracks are actually quite good. The version of Hole In My Life makes me wish he would dust off more forgotten songs... It would be refreshing to hear him put out new recordings of his older, under-appreciated songs rather than keep putting out the same hits. Hounds Of Winter was a good inclusion on All This Time. He needs to interject more songs out of left field from time to time... -----Original Message----- From: police-bounces+fredberthelot=earthlink.net(a)mailman.xmission.com [mailto:police-bounces+fredberthelot=earthlink.net@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Richard Ryder Sent: Wednesday, June 30, 2004 9:41 PM To: police(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Police] New Sting material on iTunes Music Store Hi, There's some new stuff on iTunes called "iTunes Originals - Sting" The URL is: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=1644… Or you can just find it on the front page of the iTunes Music Store. It's 22 tracks split between interview and tracks. Some new tracks, some old tracks... New exclusive versions of "This War", "Sacred Love" and "Hole in My Life" (Wow!!!) Also included are: Desert Rose, Ghost Story / I'm So Happy... Live in Italy I was shocked to see a live version of "I Burn For You", but after listening to the sample I'm pretty sure it's just the version from Bring on the Night. ...Rich _______________________________________________ Police mailing list Police(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/police
