I think you're right David. Where was the enthusiasm when The Police DID reunite? Everyone seems to forget about that... Years of longing for a reunion, and when they do get together (albeit for only three songs) no one shows up, no one really talks about it here, and the press doesn't really cover it... They WERE a great band... -----Original Message----- From: police-bounces+f.berthelot=ramsa.com(a)mailman.xmission.com [mailto:police-bounces+f.berthelot=ramsa.com@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of David Lucky Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 10:07 AM To: Police(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Police] enthusiasm for the Police Think about the fanfare about the release of this DVD.

If the fans really wanted a Police reunion, most likely the only way it would happen is if EVERYONE boycotted Sting shows and he heard from ALL of his fans that they wanted a Police reunion. Even then, he might not do it. Either get everyone to stop going to Sting concerts or give up on the reunion. It seems simple really, if Sting sees he can make money playing "Easy Listening" songs and people will pay big bucks, why should he get back together with the Police and play Rock? Stop going to Sting concerts if you want to see The Police. > Message: 4 > Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2005 06:58:17 -0800 (PST) > From: David Lucky <dlucky711(a)yahoo.com> > Subject: [Police] Police reunion > To: police(a)mailman.xmission.com > Message-ID: <20051108145817.36429.qmail(a)web54510.mail.yahoo.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 > > I really wonder at this point how big a deal a Police > re-union deal would really be.

If it's the same release as in Europe it will have ONE easter egg... The black and white video which was mentioned here can be found on their Greatest Hits DVD: Studies in Synchronicity. Dietmar

How funny! I did ask the guys (lots of service when you're in a store no one knows is open yet!) and it's not even showing up as "in transit". If it's not there Thursday, I'm ordering online. Funny you mentioned the age thing. I asked for the two "younger" CD's I was looking for first, then asked for the dvd. Didn't want to appear to be the fuddy duddy looking to relive the 80's, even though I guess I am. Even when waiting in line for U2 a couple weeks ago, the question came up "have you ever met anyone famous or shook their hand". My friend looked at me when I kept my sting thing under wraps. What's wrong with me? Not that I've met him, but I did get a handshake from the stage. My friend asked why I didn't say anything, just had to tell her I'd look like an impostor in the GA line for U2 if I was a big sting fan! Sometimes you just have to know when to keep your mouth shut (as I 'm learning in my old age). In line w/a bunch of 20 year olds--- good time to keep dirty little secrets to yourself! : ) Michelle in tx In a message dated 11/8/05 10:51:11 PM, krapola(a)shaw.ca writes: > I had to ask the best buy staff member for it, since it wasn;t out on the > floor yet.

I've got to believe it'd be big. I can't imagine that all the people that go to Sting solo concerts these days are there due to his recent music. There's that hope of hearing a glimpse of what we don't have anymore (well that's my reason for being there anyway). I wouldn't think they'd play sting solo music. I can't imagine that Stewart and Andy would be supporting that unless, of course, that's part of the bass player's deal to go on tour. I don't know that I'd want to hear them doing sting solo stuff anyway. Maybe they should cover some early Fiction Plane (actually the Santa's Boyfriend) material. That'd be OK with me!

Synchronicity DVD release in Canada
by krapola 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

Finally released here, in my home and native land. Fairly pleased. Obscure song from Brimstone and Treacle use for one of the menus' Kinda cool. On another note, Right after an interview with Stewart, the interviewer mentions King of Pain then it plays the very beginning of the song while a black and white video of dinosaur bones are shown. Considering there was no King of pain video (of which I am aware) was this a clip from any such potential video? Ross -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Police reunion
by David Lucky 08 Nov '05

08 Nov '05

I really wonder at this point how big a deal a Police re-union deal would really be. To me it would be huge of course. But to the general public I wonder if at this point a lot of the enthusiasm has been dampened over time. I mean I cant believe how little coverage the Police renunion for the HOF gig got. I live here in the NY area and the radio stations were not buzzing about it or anything and it just seemed to come and go without much of an impact. It just makes me wonder how big it would be. Of course the Eagles reunion was pretty big so the potential is there. What do you think..would they play Sting solo tunes as well?
