Photo of "setlist" in Vancouver

Has everyone seen the "setlist" shown on thepolicetour.com? I'm trying to read them all but can't make out a couple. Can anyone help? (And is this list similar to the songs that were played at the Whisky?) Some songs on the list are repeated in handwriting out to the side; some have dots beside them. I'm curious as to the meaning of the rehearsal code. :) Also interesting is that the list sits aside the sheet music for "Rehumanize Yourself." World Running Down Message Driven to Tears Walking on the Moon Synchronicity II Don't Stand Magic Footsteps Tea in the Sahara Deathwish (? - did I get this right?) Demolition Man De Do Do Do Murder by Numbers Spirits Wrapped Around Your Finger Invisible Sun Bed's Too Big One World Bring On King of Pain Shadows in the Rain Roxanne So Lonely Every Breath Next to You Can't Stand Losing You ...and then the end of a word half covered by a Sharpie...urgh!!

I was wondering about this list: it looks awfully close to the Synchronicity tour and I am becoming suspicious that this may’ve been for the rehearsal boot-camp in Vancouver to get back into the groove, sorta pick up where they left off…there are some differences & gems in there, surely, and it may very well be what it looks like…I figured this would be a good place to ask: how many of these songs would fit within the purview of those that they haven’t played before, as I think about Sting’s comment from the rehearsals, there are a few I'm not sure of…of course the notes in the margin may indicate more than a rehearsal list…perhaps an early draft or in progress…but then again they do start playing in like 12 weeks!!! Regardless, I am so happy…I mean people are discussing upcoming Police set lists…I feel like I’m in an alternate universe (something people around me lately would agree) GinaSuperCat From: allisonhardin(a)sc.rr.comTo: police(a)mailman.xmission.comDate: Sun, 4 Mar 2007 08:44:57 -0800Subject: [Police] Photo of "setlist" in Vancouver Has everyone seen the "setlist" shown on thepolicetour.com?

More Ticket@#! Crap
by Trent Riggs 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

I can't believe all of the problems we're having with tickets. I was in the air on Wednesday, so my wife tried for tickets and all of the Best Buy reservations were gone in 30 seconds. So I went for fanclub tickets this morning.. Right at 10 I got the code, went to Ticketmaster, entered the code (failed to recognize it), repeated that 3 or 4 times and then it took. I went for 2 tickets "Best Available" and got $90 seats in the back of the arena. I was bummed but took them. Now (some 7 hours later), I just couldn't let go so I went back through the process and selected "$225 Seats". Lo and behold, they were available! Why they didn't give them to me this morning baffles me (and pisses me off). So they also gladly signed me up for a 2nd fanclub membership since I used my code once already. I have to call somebody on this because it pisses me off too much. Trent ..wondering how I can start up a monopolistic company and screw over my customers, too. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Now that's room service!

Sting's house
by Anne Stephens 03 Mar '07

03 Mar '07

Hey guys! Kevy & I were away the week before last. On our first day in England, my dad's cousin gave us a guided tour around Salisbury. I had to laugh, as I had told him a while before that I had tickets to see The Police this summer (he's a retired copper in his '60's, so maybe he was not sure what I was on about). Anyway, we're taking the "scenic route" from Salisbury to Stonehenge, etc... He says, "have you heard of the rock star, Sting". Uh, yeah. "Well, this is his house, but we'd better not stop as the security people get a little upset when people hang around" (he used to work for the local constabulary, so I did not want to get him into trouble). It was not what I had expected -- huge hedge around the front, I'm guessing that they must have more land in back of the house (or, they paid too much for it). Very surreal, as I had not expected to just drive on by. We were pretty jet-lagged too, so this was rather strange. Given that most of us on the list probably have spent enough on tours, albums, DVD's, T-shirts, etc... (I think I own almost everything he has ever released to the public), I figured, hey let's knock on the door & ask to use the loo. It's OK, I'm a fan club member ;-) I'd never have the nerve to do so, but it would be comical. Anyway, do any of you have any sort of Police fan group on Facebook? I just joined & would like to display my proud fan membership to my friends. If anyone is interested in starting one, let me know. Anne (Nova Scotia correspondent)

Re: [Police] The Police 2007 Branding

I found it a little disturbing at first, but see the marketing angle behind it. Even though those colors bring back memories of bad perms, big shoulder pads, and horrible clothing colors for me, that's where they want us to be. Just seeing those familiar colors/logos makes us subliminally want to buy those tickets. I also think for the "casual" fan they need to attract, they had to remind them that The Police went out on top of the world and nothing has changed, choose them to blow your money on this summer! My .02, an I'm sure it's not even worth that!

Hey Trent, Where were you trying to get tix for? I know in the first 10 minutes of all the presales I've tried, I was getting crap, or "nothing available" back from ticketbastard. I hung in there and finally was tossed various seats, and then a pretty good floor seat for one of them. Granted, my looking for one seat may be the difference though. I don't know how it happens, but I think people get in on the sale quicker than us, have them in their baskets just long enough for us to get frustrated, then dump them back, hence the "new" tickets available. I don't trust them in the least bit, but I truly don't think they hold back the presale ticket pool to force people to buy a second membership later in the day. Then again, maybe I'm Pollyanna. If you don't have any takers for your $90 seats, let me know what show it is. I have friends crawling out of the woodwork around the country thinking I can buy tix for them. Have enough problems getting my own, I'm supposed to stress about THEM too???? You're going to see the POLICE!!!

Need a Dallas #2 single please
by Maggie White 03 Mar '07

03 Mar '07

I'm picky, but if you have an extra on the floor, please let me know. I was busy trying to find two tix NOT behind the stage for my brother and his wife for the first show and I guess I didn't see when the second show was added. I saw the second show about 45 minutes after the first sale started and by the time I got on, nothing good enough for me to spend my $225+++ on. So I'm hoping someone on here got something good and can share! I'll pay above face or trade for Oakland or LA great floors. I'll be near Dallas visiting my mom and grandma (and going to #1) and had already planned to stay the extra day before the second show was added. So I HAVE to go. Thanks!

police and pictures

good idea Holly!!! John I have a proposal for the list: Can someone in each city post a photo of the listers who attend? This will allow all of us to put faces with names, and by the end of the tour, we'll have a list scrapbook to enjoy. I will *try* to take a photo at Hershey -- luckily I have kids who know how to do things like post photos on the web! How about it?

You should be able to find it on the DTS release of the greatest hits album, but you'll need DTS capable gear to play it.
