The Party's Over (for me)
by Jenny Dolan Balin 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

Yup, it's over, no more Police concerts for me. [heavy sigh] I've been to 7 Police concerts in one month, 9 concerts in all counting the two for FictionPlane. I told a friend of mine I wasn't a groupie 'cause I didn't sleep with the band, and he countered with yeah, but you wanted to! I hate it when men are right... ;D So, yes, I am a Police Groupie. Under that definition, I am a FictionPlane groupie, too, but I don't think the guys would necessarily find that happy news... Seriously some of the best times I ever had, from Vancouver BC to Vegas to New Orleans. Oh, and whoever coined, "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" has never been to New Orleans! Kudos and love to my support group, my three kids Marley, Sean & Alex, and my bestest friend Jasmine! (she is the *only* one who knows everything that happened!) Special thanks to Jesse, Michael, Eric, Jeff, and Ryan. Honourable mention to Robert and the five Texans, the Scottish twins and the nine kilted Scots, Juan and Scott at the ESPN Zone in Vegas, and the boys at Boondocks in NOLA (especially Pete the owner!, and Teddy, Ross, Chris...) And a big "CHA!" to my old and new Police friends and cohorts (in no particular order): Maggie, Jen, Dan, Deb, Jer, Bill & Patti, Chris, Bruce, Jock, Michelle, Paul, Andy, Jodi, Julie, Hilary, Oscar, yellowstonegirl, Scottie, Johnny, Cass & his brother-in-law, Andy (no, not that one!) his sis and her very British boyfriend, Gina, Dive, Laura, Michelle & Frank, Jim & Judy, Donna, Rik (well, actually R 2D), Chris & Carla... there are more, but Guinness and old age prevent me from remembering... Quick snapshots of great memories: Being interviewed live on a Vancouver classic rock station with Maggie & Bruce Eating lunch and walking memory lane with the 2001 Vegas gang (I am SO glad I am not alone in having Vegas be one of my fondest memories!) Ceile's the Plaza (FP: you ROCKED that dump!) Rooming first w/ Michelle and then Maggie Will Call--donuts--R 2D My first Police concert: Fan Club show in Van My second Police concert: Opening night in Van The Media Club Breaking down in 109-122 degree heat 1 mile from Baker on the way to Vegas Calling my mechanic Best Buy pre-party: Vegas Talking to Pete Meeting Andy (no, not that one!) Running into my best friend from high school right before the concert each not knowing the other would be there! My third Police Concert: Vegas The five Texans... they changed my mind re: Texas! The nine kilted Scotsmen... especially the twins! All the Irish pubs I found--oh, yes, this girl can find a Guinness on tap even in the French Quarter!--like Ceilie's in Van, Nine Fine Irishmen in Vegas (NOT hard to find however!) and Boondocks in NOLA (my new favorite barÂfor so many reasons!Âon earth. ItÂs owned and run by ex-cops and feds)... The Times Square bar and ESPN Zone bar in NY,NY The desert at night on the way home from Vegas My fourth Police concert: Staples Center, LA Taking two of my kids to their first Police concert and having them meet Pete Maggie staying over my house for the LA series... So Cool! She's the best! My fifth Police concert: Honda Center in the OC Taking my other boy to his first Police concert and having him meet FP and getting all of our tees signed... and posters, too The Viper Room (FPÂ once again boys, you rocked the dump!) Andy again The Best Buy Pre-party at Dodger Stadium My sixth Police concert: Dodger Stadium, LA w/ my son and two of his friends and having that be one of their top five experiences ever! The (full) Moon Over Bourbon Street Johnny WhiteÂs Boondocks Playing with Plutonic for half a day in the French Quarter Two Sisters My seventh Police concert: New Orleans Boondocks (oh yeah, itÂs worth mentioning again!) Zada Sunrise over Bourbon Street There are other memories that will stay in my head forever, great moments forever associated with the Police. god, itÂs GREAT to be alive and single, loving the Police, loving FictionPlane, loving my kids, my friendsÂold and new, loving to travel, loving life! ItÂs also good to be homeÂ To the rest of you still playing with the Police or have yet to go: savor. THINK BLUE!

Live Earth Rant
by Robert Johnson 10 Jul '07

10 Jul '07

I didn't realize John Mayer was such a Police fan. I came across his cover of MIAB on Youtube, which is just amazing if you've never seen/heard it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmYys-ZjNrg <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmYys-ZjNrg&mode=related&search> &mode=related&search= I would have to agree that Kanye West should probably have been told by MC Hammer, "You can't touch this..."

police in Chicago
by David Lucky 10 Jul '07

10 Jul '07

I went to both shows in Chicago last week and my friends and I really felt like the Friday show was better. They sounded better to us and played with more energy though couldnt put my finger exactly on it. Did anyone else feel this way or not? Just curious. David L.

I for one was slightly pissed off when Kanye West came on and totally ruined the song for me. I "tivo'd" the set and may even delete MIAB!!!! I was hurling abuse at the TV as I wanted to see The Police and The Police only...not anyone else. This kinda cheapened it for me but at least Kanye won't be in the Hershey area anytime soon!!!! Will Kelly ----- Original Message ---- From: Fred Berthelot <F.Berthelot(a)Ramsa.com> To: Police(a)mailman.xmission.com Sent: Monday, July 9, 2007 11:23:50 PM Subject: [Police] Live Earth Rant Those of you who know me know that I've been posting on here for years and hold the highest regard for Sting. I adore his music, his talent as an artist, and am forever grateful that my adoration lead to my meeting an equally adoratious fan who a year ago became my wife :-) BUT (and I may be a couple of days late to this), I want to express a big FUCK YOU to Sting. Live Earth was building up to be a great event to expose The Police to the rest of the world once again. Yes, everyone should recycle and buy compact fluorescents and bio-friendly cleaning products. But I think planet Earth healed itself a little bit when The Police came on. She was confused when John Mayer was introduced, but then she realized Mayer was always a Police fan (not one of those latecomers who didn't know about them a year ago) who actually had talent. Things were looking up for our planet , Live Earth, The Police, and music in general. But 07/07/07 was the day the music died. As soon as Sting introduced Kanye West, my respect for him went out the window. You're the fuckin' Police! You don't even need Mayer, but he's a huge fan and he's ok in my book so I'll let it slide. But then you bring on some no-talent chump to belt out "yeah, yeah, yeah's" and incoherent dissonent kiddy lyrics in the middle of what some might consider your most iconic song?... Fuck off Sting! I blame that decision on you and you alone. Even if it wasn't your idea, I know you aproved it despite Andy and Stew's opposition (and IF Andy and Stewart approved it too, then fuck you to all three of you). You're THE POLICE!!! You can't improve on The Police by bringing in some low-life talentless name-of-the-month to appeal to the younger crowd. You're actually doing the younger crowd a disservice. Teenagers today still think Every Breath is a Puffy song. Worst of all, I'll Be Missing You is considered "classic rock" by today's youth... Does Sting not know a good thing when he's IN one? And while I'm at it, does no other guy here feel like his childhood was raped when watching Transformers? If Optimus Prime and God are one of the same (and as an 8-year old I thought they were), then Michael Bay will burn in Hell...

Chicago, on the heels of the Oakland show
by David 10 Jul '07

10 Jul '07

Hello, Since The Police have not done what other bands are doing, which is to sell a copy of their show to ticket holders, I have no choice but to seek out a recording to commemorate and re-experience this memorable event in the future. I have been unable to obtain a registration on dimeadozen.org, and wonder if anyone knows whether the Chicago show has ended up on there (or elsewhere, I suppose). I know it's not the best form to go whanging on about wanting a bootleg of a show on here, but this was really quite an experience. Any help is appreciated, though I have a funny feeling that I might also get The Stick from Pete :-) Thanks! David [MiaS]
