A woman I know has two tix for sale for the 9 July Nissan Pavilion show here in Virginia. The seats are in section 303, row F, seats 4&5. She's selling them for the same price as Ticketbastard, $62.00 each, but is not looking to collect any of the taxes or the handling fees. Please email me privately if interested. ~Anne

Jones Beach show

Anyone else attend the show? Sting seemed to be bit down and maybe even tired. The show lacked energy as well. I also felt that the setlist was short (no Stolen Car or Inside). Didn't even come close to the Hammerstein and Beacon shows from a few months back. Is it just me or is it Sting? -Paul __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I would have loved to have heard him sing "So Lonely", that's one that I asked for him to sing (when they had that pole on the website). >Sting's seeming disdain for his work with the Police was >evident as well. That's bad when they start writing this in non-fan-related reviews. >Lennox seemed unburdened by her past, and the result was >a dynamic set that was consistently engaging. Yes, hello! Why should the past be a burden? That's my question. Sure Sting wants to move on, and what's the best way--make peace with the past. We see obvious proof here. I know.... :| Well, he won't see me until the next tour, if then. Now, I know what a mid-life crisis feels like.

[stingus] Review US opening night

Allow me to edit this: ... Even if, in the case of Sting, he seemed intent on examining only the most obvious choices from his older work. And, unfortunately, many of the songs he showcased from his latest album, "Sacred Love," were lightweight...Sting's seeming disdain for his work with the Police was evident as well. "Roxanne" was slowed down so considerably that it illustrated just how rudimentary the bass line truly is. His jazz scatting and passing references to Police classics "King of Pain" and "So Lonely" added insult to injury... --- StingUs <frotri(a)panafonet.gr> wrote: > Sting, Lennox prove to be a powerful pairing > By Tom Kielty, Globe Correspondent | June 29, 2004 > MANSFIELD -- In a season that has found countless > musical acts rethinking > their tour plans, the success of Sting and Annie > Lennox's co-headlining > "SacredLove" tour is nothing short of astounding. > > Performing for a nearly full house at the Tweeter > Center last night (there > is a second show tonight), the two musical > chameleons once again redefined > themselves and proved that artists with impressive > catalogs of songs can > still draw devoted fans. > Even if, in the case of Sting, he seemed intent on > examining only the most > obvious choices from his older work.

New Sting material on iTunes Music Store
by Richard Ryder 30 Jun '04

30 Jun '04

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
