Concerts.....
by Mike Armistead 31 Jan '07

I might be putting the cart before the horse as they say, but we, as a group should get together before each show. The ones attending of course and put a face with the name so to speak. I'm looking forward to whatever endeavor they might be doing. Giovanni, can you divulge any more information? mike (Nashville, TN)

I'm back
by Pete Ashdown 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

Well the reunion certainly piqued my interest in the list again. Lets hope the Grammys doesn't turn out to be another "Hall of Fame" one-off. The critic in me is a bit disappointed that the Police may be getting back together. The fact that I got shafted by my sister when they came to town for "Ghost in the Machine" and I was too young to travel for concerts during "Synchronicity" contributed to my enjoyment angst of The Police. I am delighted to be given another chance, but I fear a "Sex Pistols" style reunion lacking any form of energy from three old men, and I just rolled the odometer at 40! I just can't imagine Sting getting in fights with the audience at this stage and that kind of youthful anger was 50% of what I enjoyed about The Police. If they play "Sally" during the Grammys, I'll know I am wrong. Lets hope there is a sliver of punk left in the boys because I'm not up for "artistic stylings" and jazzy refrains. That said, can anyone get tickets for the Grammys? 16 years slaving over a hot mailing list ought to be worth something.

http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Music/01/30/grammys.police.reut/index.ht ml NEW YORK (Reuters) -- The Police will reunite to open the 49th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on February 11, The Recording Academy said on Tuesday, fueling speculation that the hit 1980s British band is planning a reunion tour. The five-time Grammy-winning band, led by frontman Sting, with Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers, quietly split up within a couple of years of the 1983 "Synchronicity" album and was last seen playing together in 2003 to commemorate their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The band, known for such hits as "Roxanne," "Message in a Bottle" and "Every Breath You Take," has never performed at the annual telecast for the music industry's most prestigious awards that are given by The Recording Academy. "The Police join a stellar list of past Grammy Awards opening acts, which includes reunions and once-in-a-lifetime performances," said a statement from the academy. Members of The Police have so far refused to confirm rumors that the band is planning to reunite in 2007 for dates in Britain and the United States, with this year marking the 30th anniversary of the release of "Roxanne." Last month the band's label A&M Records, which is owned by Universal Music, said in a statement that they would mark the year somehow. "It is our intention to mark the anniversary by doing something special with the band's catalog of songs. Needless to say, everyone is hopeful the band will support our plans and while early discussions have taken place, nothing has been decided," said the statement. Other presenters at the Grammy Awards include Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Christina Aguilera, Melissa Etheridge and Stevie Wonder.
