THAT is a good question. I'm going to have to ponder that one for a little while. michelle In a message dated 1/29/07 2:42:16 PM, mtgiller(a)yahoo.com writes: > Here is another thought: are there any Sting > songs you would love to hear the Police play?

History of Rock And Roll
by foxie 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

Any of your familiar with the 'History Of Rock and Roll' documentary? It was a 10-part series that was made/came out in the early 1990s. Last week, VH-1-1 Classic aired all 10 episodes. While the series is very interesting, I noticed that our beloved band is hardly mentioned. Each episode in the series is about 50 minutes. Of that total (some 7 or 8 HOURS), The Police rack up at total of about 15 seconds - that being in the episode on 'Punk', when new wave is discussed, with EBYT and clips of the video being used as background music. Nice, huh?!!!! I find this more amusing than infuriating. In my book, The Police never have nor never will get the credit they deserve. While a slight like this would have made me insane previously, now I just laugh. I know where they rank with me...that's all that matters...

Probably the case! I would LOVE to hear Bombs Away. At this point, I'd even take Mother. I'm going to have to revisit that one, I used to lift that record needle up all the time for that song, but now maybe I'm over that..... m In a message dated 1/29/07 1:08:22 PM, kappa02(a)yahoo.com writes: > Of course, there is also the distinct > possibility that they had too many hits to get to > these. >

Reunion Setlist
by Matthew Giller 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

Out of lurker mode for the time being. I have been this excited about music in a long time since hearing about the reunion. And, of course, my thoughts spun directly into what they might play. I know Sting likes the ready-made setlist, with little variation. I always hated that. Here's my idea for a setlist: have a different setlist every night. They could perform a number of hits during a 50 to 60 minute set, come back to perform one album in its entirety, then end the show with Can't Stand>Reggetta De Blanc and So Lonely (of course, they wouldn't play these during the second set if they performed Outlandos or Reggetta on that particular night). I would love to hear Zenyatta or Synchronicity live in their entirety. They would be able to please both the casual fan and the die-hard fan(that's us, yes?). Just a thought that will not ever be considered. I just so afraid we will get Synchronicity Tour Part II. Here is another thought: are there any Sting songs you would love to hear the Police play? Why not, there are some that easily could have been Police songs. I would enjoy hearing Fortress or Be Still My Beating Heart. Again, just a thought. I can't wait for the day when I can say I saw the Police perform live since the Synchronicity Tour. Matt

Reunion setlist
by Mike Greenberg 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

Hey gang, The following 2 songs were never performed live by The Police and I hope they get consideration for the reunion. Bombs Away It's Alright For You Andy's melodic guitar work at the end of both of these tracks showcases The Police at their best. I've often wondered if these were left off the setlist because (like Voices inside my Head), the trio could not replicate the studio sound of these songs when performed live. Of course, there is also the distinct possibility that they had too many hits to get to these.

Re: Zeppelin

I'm right there with whoever it said they didn't get Zeppelin. I heard them all through my teen years and never saw what the big deal was. A few years ago someone loaned me the Zeppelin box set to rip to my iPod. I gave it a shot, I listened to every one of those albums... however within a few weeks I said, "it's official, I will never like Led Zeppelin," and I deleted all the albums. As one would guess, I don't think Page and Plant ever compared favorably to Lennon and McCartney. I'll take The Beatles any day.

Re: [Police] one aspect of reunion - setlist (OF COURSE!)

Fat chance. They'll play the ones that the casual fan will know. Hopefully some new ones, but I just can't see them getting a chilly response by playing an oldie but goody! Guess I'll get over the fact that I didn't need to hear Sting do Roxanne (again). But that was my feeling during the past few solo years. Of course, I did regret saying that, because the one in Vegas renewed my faith! m In a message dated 1/28/07 12:37:16 PM, forfoxie(a)yahoo.com writes: > like the rest of you, "reunion" has consumed my every > thought for the past few days.

one aspect of reunion - setlist (OF COURSE!)
by foxie 28 Jan '07

28 Jan '07

like the rest of you, "reunion" has consumed my every thought for the past few days. what i am most intrigued/hopeful about is the setlist. using our last 'zeppelin' conversation as the starting point, unlike robert plant, sting can still hit those notes. sting, stewart and andy all are still phenom musicians. MEANING...i hope that the pending tour finds the boys playing more that just those tunes found on a 'greatest hits' record...songs like "deathwish"...songs like "born in the 50s"...songs off the beaten bath, not standard radio fare...songs that we deserve to hear. here's hoping... rich ____________________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Reunion set list....
by Mike Armistead 28 Jan '07

Also speaking of set-lists, I would like to hear some new material come from the three. Not a live CD per se' but a new project altogether. Now I'm really dreaming. Should be fun. mike
