Sting tribute on youtube
by Mikkel Z. Herold 20 Sep '07

20 Sep '07

I have just uploaded an old video that I found on my hard drive from the Musicares tribute to Sting in 2004. The link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiT6n5K3qsI It shows excerpts of Dave Matthews, Elvis Costello and John Mayer singing Sting songs. I don't remember where I got it from, but I would love to have more - sound like JM rocked the place! Anyone ...? Mikkel -- "At first just a rustle of canvas And the gentlest breath on my face But a galloping line of white horses Said that soon we were in for a race" Sting - The Wild Wild Sea www.mzh.dk

Message in a Brothel?
by Sweetmomb＠cs.com 14 Sep '07

14 Sep '07

Hi Everyone, Returning from lurk mode to ask if the joke Craig Ferguson told on his show last night was true -- that Sting was photographed leaving a German brothel?! Sorry for my extended lurk -- due to business obligations and family illnesses (everyone is OK for the moment) -- I have been away for longer than I would have liked! Happy New Year to everyone on the list to whom that pertains (and even if it doesn't! Good wishes all around!), and have a great weekend. Gee I missed you guys! Holly

Jamming with Dominic
by Michele Piumini 12 Sep '07

12 Sep '07

Fellow listers, let me share my joy and excitement with you. In two days I will be in Amsterdam to see my favourite band on stage for the very first time, but I can't quite concentrate on it due to what happened last Sunday. A few months ago, a luthier who happens to be a great friend of mine informed me that Dominic Miller had been invited to an Italian guitar festival in a beautiful castle (www.musicaafiorano.it) to give a workshop in the afternoon and a gig in the evening of September 9. I immediately saw it as a fantastic opportunity to make a dream come true: a dream so unconceivable that I'd never even thought of it. I love Dominic's solo music, and in the past years I've figured out a few of his songs on the guitar, most of them from First Touch. Given the informal setting in which the festival would take place, I decided I would try my luck, so I spent part of the summer practising. Last Sunday, I drove to the festival with Lydia... and my guitar in the back. When Dominic arrived he seemed to recognized me, because I'd already had the chance to chat with him after a gig of his in Milan. But after all I was only a fan, with little to distinguish me from the ones he meets around the world. I was in front row at the workshop, which was great as expected, and asked him a question about Rush Hour, a track from First Touch. As soon as Dominic was finished, he devoted himself to signing autographs and posing for pictures, then came to greet us die-hard fans. It was then that I seized my chance. "Dominic, I have my guitar here and I can play a few of your songs, I was wondering if I could take this opportunity to try one with you." "Really? Sure, I want to hear you!" So I took my guitar and sat down. Dominic literally kneeled in front of me and I started playing, with him watching closely my left hand. He was impressed, and he was so kind to give me suggestions on chords and finger positions. He even took my guitar (my friend built it), which he tried and warmly appreciated. He wanted to play with me, but in the meantime his manager had taken his guitar away, so he said "Well, next time". I couldn't lose such an opportunity, so I begged the people around me to go and find his manager. At last his guitar was found, so he grabbed a seat and placed himself in front of me. And then... One song (Last Dance) would have been more than enough to make me happy, but as soon as we finished and the clapping had ended, he said "Let's do another!". So we played Do You Want Me, and we didn't see why we should stop there. We ended up playing for half an hour, to an increasing and cheering crowd. We basically played all the Dominic songs I know, and he suggested other ones for me to study. Then we started jamming on a few Sting songs: Fragile, I Was Brought to My Senses... He was genuinely impressed. "I'm not gonna give your phone number to Sting, though", he joked at the end, to which I replied "Sting? Who?". He signed the back of my guitar, which now has become even more of an invaluable object to me. No need to say that my friend the guitar-maker is as happy as a king. Check out the pictures on this page of my website: http://www.michelepiumini.it/Michele%20Piumini/9%20settembre%202007.html I knew Dominic was a kind and modest person, but this was way more than I could ever dream of. Ciao! Michele from Milan PS: I still have those 3 tickets for Munich.

Charlottesville Show on November 6th
by Karen Brodie Runner 11 Sep '07

11 Sep '07

Anyone going to the Police concert in Charlottesville, Va on November 6th at the John Paul Jones Arena? As a member of The Police fan club, I was excited to see that the fan club presale begins TOMORROW on Wednesday, September 12 at 10:00 AM. However, it doesn’t appear as though the John Paul Jones Arena/Police concert is selling tickets through Ticketmaster. The John Paul Jones Arena offers links for the general ticket sale that starts on Saturday. This show does NOT apear in Ticketmaster. For all the other Police concerts, the presale is available through Ticketmaster. Now I have no idea what to do about the presale. Anyone know anything about that or have a similar experience with other Police shows that were not promoted through Ticketmaster? How do I participate in the fan club presale? I've emailed the venue and hope to hear something back from them. _________________________________________________________________ More photos; more messages; more whatever – Get MORE with Windows Live™ Hotmail®.

Artemis 81 coming on DVD!!!!
by Angeline Adams 11 Sep '07

11 Sep '07

No, I'm not winding you up! Just got the new issue of "Sight & Sound" in the post, and found a review of a DVD which is already out. Sting's performance is described as "surprisingly affecting". There's also a good commentary from the director, writer (I think) and a film historian. It's for Region 2 (Europe) from 2 entertain. Here's the page on Amazon UK.<http://www.amazon.co.uk/Artemis-81-Daniel-Day-Lewis/dp/B000R343IK/ref=pd_bb…> Ang

Hey David, No need, your existing player is probably capable already. Search this site for your player: http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks . With a couple of quick codes into my dvd remote, I now have an All Region player. It works great.
