Re: [Police] Ten Summoner's Tales video/b-sides
by Angeline Adams 11 Jan '07

The Ten Summoner's Tales video is different from Summoner's Travels. The latter is stuff from that tour; the former is a video of them recording the album at Sting's studio in Lake House. Despite a few times when the sound quality is inexplicably fuzzy, it's worth watching for little instrumental flourishes that aren't on the album (what the heck happened to that nice little cascadey thing in Seven Days? and I'm sure that's an alt. version of Fields of Gold...), the feeling of Being There, and the moment when a double bass falls over and startles everyone. Oh, and the strangely compelling all-band, a capella version of Love is Stronger Than Justice at the end. You must watch the tape. Really. The Unplugged one is also excellent. I'm still looking to get back to the person who asked me about b-sides; I'd need to compare my list to those online... will do some digging. Ang

Andy's Guitar @ HOF
by chrisorange＠rogers.com 11 Jan '07

11 Jan '07

Fred, didn't you get booted from the ballroom at some point? ;-) During the HOF sound check they jammed When the World is Running Down and I got shivers down my spine. Christine and I were front row centre for the entire soundcheck. Andy sounded quite good but what I didn't get was why he didn't use his signature beat up Telecaster for the soundcheck or the show. I could tell Sting wasn't too impressed with Andy's sound during the soundcheck either and at one point walked over and lowered the volume on his amp!! Half-joking, half serious I'm sure. Andy of course walked over and did the same thing to Sting all in good fun no doubt. One thing that I hope sees the light of day at some point - Ian, as usual, got the entire soundcheck on video. Michelle, I know you don't regret seeing The Police live that night but it was the best night of my life having never seen or met them before. They weren't 1980 Japan or '81 Australia fantastic but they barely rehearsed together in NYC and didn't have the chops or road experience that AC/DC had. AC/DC kicked ass, took no prisoners and I'm not even that big of a fan. Maybe Andy did have a few drinks that night and the nerves/pressure played a part. Imagine all your past and present peers in one room and try not to fumble the ball. As I said, I blame it more on the different guitar used that night. Stewart rocked that night and Sting barely looked like he was enjoying himself. Who knows all the circumstances and excuses. Certainly the end left a lot to be desired and I didn't like the backup singer at all.... but this wasn't really a show for public consumption anyway. It was cobbled together by the HOF staff. Originally they were all supposed to be onstage together for I Fought The Law as a tribute to Joe Strummer but Sting probably didn't want to do that so we got EBYT as the big closing number. Bring on the reunion and world tour!! Peace and The Police!!

concert industry story
by Maggie White 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

This is from an email newsletter I get for people in the concert/promotions industry. Really nothing new EXCEPT the mention of stadium-sized venues. NEW YORK (CelebrityAccess MediaWire) -- Rumors about the reuniting of legendary rock outfit The Police are nothing new to anyone who's kept abreast of such things in recent months, however, as Billboard Magazine reported, said rumors have become considerably more substantial. 2007 marks the 30th anniversary of the release of "Roxanne," the single that helped the Police 'make their bones' in the US and according to the a post on Sting's website, detailed discussions have been underway about how the anniversary will be commemorated. "While we can confirm that there will indeed be something special done to mark the occasion, the depth of the band's involvement still remains undetermined." noted the post, attributed to an un-named A&M spokesman. These remarks have fueled speculation that there may be Police dates scheduled in the US and England during 2007. E-mail This Article to a Friend Print This Article Tell Us What You Think ADVERTISEMENT A Police reunion has long been a very appealing thought to those in the industry. It is projected that they will likely play stadium-sized venues on an international tour. In addition, sources have indicated that there will be DVD releases along with another boxed set, ala 1993's "Message in a Box." Sting has been reticent about the prospects for a reunion, but other members of the band, drummer Stewart Copeland and guitarist Andy Summers have both demonstrated more zeal in regards to getting the band back together. "I'm very keen on it." Copeland remarked in a recent interview with Billboard.com Members of the band have also revealed that there is at least one piece of heretofore unreleased Police material which may see the light of day. - CelebrityAccess Staff Writers M --------------------------------- Never Miss an Email Stay connected with Yahoo!
