Halloween Show
by Fred Berthelot 02 Nov '07

02 Nov '07

As Bruce said, this show was a lot of fun. The guys were obviously in a playful mood. Andy stayed in Chaplin character throughout the show, shuffling his feet as he moved across the stage. Andrea and I thought he looked very cute! I'm not so sure what Stewart was supposed to be. He had a blue and silver superhero outfit with a cape, and zombie-esque makeup... He lost the cape after the first song and switched his sculpted muscle shirt for a matching regular shirt after a couple more songs. They were extremely tight. They've come a long way since Vancouver and have probably regained the confidence that I think they were missing then. This is the most "into it" that I've seen the crowd. Many in the audience were dressed up and that might have added to the overall mood. We wore Ghost in The Machine masks, but I think the reference was lost on many. Fiction plane were also dressed up - Joe as a basketball player with a big white afro, Seton just wore a black afro, and Pete was dressed as STEWART! At first we were confused and thought Stewart was actually filling in. He had grey hair styled liike Stew's, a head band, glasses and white gloves. The only thing missing were the yellow t-shirt, green running shorts and striped knee socks! It would have been great if joe had worn a grey jumpsuit, or better yet, the Synchronicity outfit! My sister took her two boys. They're 10 and 13 and loved the show. They felt privileged to be there. They thought The Police ruled! Their aunt and uncle have done a great job of brainwashing! On a side note, is anyone else annoyed at the overuse of blackberries and iPhones during the show? What is SO mportant that you have to spend two hours texting people during The Police? It's become a serious addiction for some and I just can't wrap my head around it. Anyway, that was the best show we've seen so far... Oh, and I never checked the message boards so I was not aware that they added Hole in My Life. That was a nice surprise.

RE: [Police] eBay Item: Sting Action Figure from the movie
by omaha perez 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

I've had the Sting "Feyd Rautha" figure since the movie came out, in what '84? At a job I had about 10 years ago I kept the figure displayed near my computer. So my buddy at the next cube brought his Baron Harkonnen figure in and put it up in his cube. David Lynch ended up coming in to see a project we were developing and noticed our Dune figures. He must have thought we got them in his honor, but we'd had them up months before we knew he'd be coming through.

Setlist Question
by Bruce Greenwood 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

I have a question about the setlist from the beginning of the tour: I thought they dropped Spirits by the 3rd Vancouver show, but thepolice.com shows the setlist for each of the 3 Vancouver shows to be exactly the same. I don't think that is right. Am I remembering this incorrectly? Does anyone know when Spirits was dropped? And when Murder was dropped? Thanks, Bruce

New York Halloween Show
by Bruce Greenwood 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

Well, tonight was a funny night, for sure.and will probably go down in The Police history books as a unique night: In Halloween spirit, the boys came out in full costume! Andy was dressed as Charlie Chaplin, Stewart had his face painted a ghoulish white with blood running down from his lips, wore a weird thing on his headband, and a cape (until it got in the way of his drumming), and Sting was dressed as a joker. He wore a joker hat, a black mask that covered his eyes, and had a black and yellow diamond patterned top and black tights with yellow diamonds on the sides and a big sparkly thing over his "package" as my wife, Tara, calls it. And no, I am NOT kidding about ANY of this! Sting finally took his hat and mask for the encores, but Andy remained as Charlie Chaplin the whole night! Stewart had a "wardrobe adjustment" not far into the main set. It was certainly funny to see, though I must admit that I was glad when Sting finally took the mask and hat off. Being able to see Sting and his facial expressions certainly is an important part of the show. Must go to bed now. Cheers, Bruce
