regatta de blanc DVD
by David Lucky 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

I purchase just about anything I can of the Police as am a bit of collector/obsessive. With that said I was surprised to see this listing of a DVD called Regatta be Blanc on Amazon. Sounds like a cheesy DVD of fan/critics comments on the Police with no input from the band etc but just the same I neve heard about it and wanted to check in with my esteemed list colleagues..... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000S398RK/ref=s9_asin_image_3/103-6762038… David L

Front Row Seats
by Bruce Greenwood 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

Just a quick story I think you guys might be interested in: A local radio station in Toronto has been holding a competition for the last few days in which the prize was a pair of front-row seats to Friday's concert here in Toronto. To win the tickets you had to be the seventh caller and you had to correctly identify all 10 songs. I tell you, it was tough. To hear clips of 10 songs go by in 5 seconds or less and identify them was much harder than you might think. All the sounds are very familiar, and while a handful of songs were immediately obvious, correctly identifying all the songs was a real challenge. Fortunately it became a bit of a team effort, as my friends Jock, Chris Orange (Chris is on this list), and I listened over and over again to the clip we recorded, and we discussed for ages on multiple telephone conference calls what the songs might be. Over the last three days each of us was able to get through to the radio station as the seventh caller, and with a variety of combinations of song choices, we had anywhere from 7 to 9 of the songs correctly identified. Some other callers were quite good, and a handful of callers were truly clueless. Ultimately, Jock, Chris, were certain we knew which 9 songs we had correctly identified and which song had to be jettisoned from the list. And just yesterday evening Jock figured out what the song was that we were having trouble identifying. Armed with what we now thought was the correct final list of songs, I ended up being the lucky one that got though as the seventh caller when the competition resumed this morning..and...drumroll please (thank you, Stewart)..I won a pair of front row tickets to Friday's concert!!!!!!!!! How cool is that!?!? Cheers, Bruce

Bruce that is way cool! I know how hard those name that tune games can be with only one song - you all are to be congratulated for pulling thru 10 of them! The best part is that you will be front row and proud of the accomplishment as you are serenaded by rock's legendary trio! Saw tham at MSG one week ago, and the following night in AC. This time around (saw them Aug 1st too) the energy was flowing and the boys were rifling off the songs like a machine gun. Be on time and don't miss Fiction Plane, those boys are poised to hit the top, they're on fire now as well.

Para Argentinos : Stewart Copeland
by Asisthos - Gustavo Enriquez 02 Nov '07

Estimados Tengo a disposición de cualquiera que desee poseerla la nueva edición remastered de STEWART COPELAND - THE RYTHMATIST , edición importada americana. Cuento la historia: Yo lo encargué en Suecia ya que quería la edición europea, también remastered pero con un bonus track (Gong Rock)....nada esencial supongo pero quería tener ESA edición. La macana es que el sueco me manda la USA pressing que no trae bonus. Ya me reconoció el error y puedo cambiarlo, pero la verdad que prefiero de que vaya a manos de alguien que lo aprecie. Por otro lado yo vuelvo a encargar la edición europea. Cualquier cosa me contactan. Abrazos Gustavo genriquez(a)asisthos.com.ar

Hallowe'en photos
by Angeline Adams 02 Nov '07

This was sent to be by Joan; she finds that the list does not let her post to it. She keeps getting a message saying she is not a member, even though she is. The photos linked are great; I see Fiction Plane also entered into the spirit of things. :D Ang ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: musictogetherbyjoan(a)netzero.net <musictogetherbyjoan(a)netzero.net> Date: Nov 2, 2007 1:32 PM Subject: h'ween photos To: angeline.adams(a)gmail.com Hey Ang -- just found these on the stingus website. Can you forward them to the policexmission list because everytime I try to do that I am told that I'm not a member(which obviously I am since I receive all the emails from everyone else) I have been trying for months to resolve this issue with no success. Anyway, enjoy the photos - i am dumbstruck just as you are! Can't believe Sting wore that mask the whole show -- I hate masks, I would think it would be mighty uncomfortable! http://s9.photobucket.com/albums/a95/johnnyjumpstart/Police%20Halloween/?ac…

If I remember correctly then SPIRITS and DON'T were switched after the first (dress rehearsal) gig in Vancouver, but it was at least played at all Vancouver shows. And MURDER, too. They only forgot to play TRUTH at the third (disaster) show. Dietmar
