Real third row Cleveland on Stew's b-day
by Maggie White 04 Jul '07

04 Jul '07

The P.com FC member who assured me he wanted to buy my extra Cleveland tickets backed out yesterday. They are REAL floor, section 2, row 3 seats in the mid-teens for the July 16 Cleveland show. I think one of the seats might be on the isle between Stew and Andy. I bought them through the TM auction for $380 each. Later I bought the front row TM auction seats, so the third row are now up for grabs for what I paid. They will go on eBay soon unless I hear from anyone who is interested in buying them. Thanks!

Police - St. Paul Reviews
by Trent Riggs 04 Jul '07

04 Jul '07

Here are links to a couple of unflattering reviews of last nights concert in St. Paul from the local papers: http://www.startribune.com/music/story/1284138.html http://www.twincities.com/music/ci_6294028?nclick_check=1 Personally, I thought the concert was great, even with all of the mistakes that the reviewers pointed out. A few of the songs did seem a little disjointed, but I liked hearing the different arrangements, and seeing Sting & Stew's faces twinge with disgust at the little mistakes - all broadcast on the larger-than-life overhead screens made it a little more personal. And then they'd crack a little smile and move on. Of course, Andy's visage never changes - either because he doesn't show any emotion. Ever. Or he never makes a mistake.

St Louis Experience
by patm＠rollanet.org 04 Jul '07

Hey all, It's been nearly a day since the Polce concert ended and I'm still buzzing about it. Overall the performance was fantastic. I wasn't sure what to expect since the reviews have been mixed on here and the media links. The seats for us were eighth row just to Stewart's right - pretty much between him & Sting. The audience around me on the floor and in the stands all around me stood for the entire performance. I don't know if it was sold-out but must have been nearly so. Various tidbits My girlfriend & I walked around the arena a few times before the doors opened. We passed a group of people cutting through a parking garage attached to the arena. Turns out it was Fiction Plane but since we hadn't had any previous exposure to them, we were both totally oblivious. Andy used his strat for the first third of the show, the tele for the middle third and the strat again for the final third. Wrapped around your Finger worked really well. Sting didn't sing the "things they would not teach me in college" line but the audience sure did. There was also cheering in the pauses right before the chorus. Stewart was a real highlight in the show. He used his percussion set-up more than I was expecting. One funny thing was he went from the percussion set to the drumset during King of Pain. He picked up too many drumsticks and played the second verse with two drumsticks in his right hand before getting rid of one of them. During the concert pieces of wood were flying left and right from his sticks. The whole concert went by in a blur. It was hard to absorb everything. I left the concert feeling elated but also sad that it was over and also at the decades past when the Police could have been a vital rock group. My girlfriend took 260 pictures but most of them turned out blurry from longer exposures in the dark. We're going to try to clean them up. Hopefully I'll find a place to post them for anyone interested. Thanks for reading, Pat

Thanks for sharing your experience! Stewart is fun to watch, but ever since Phoenix, he seems really subdued to me... Holly has a site set up for us to put photos on!

Ouch.... Only sad if it won't be rescheduled.
