Final Show - Madison Square Garden
by Pete Ashdown 01 Feb '09

01 Feb '09

The set-list changed with the addition of "Sunshine of Your Love" at the beginning and "Purple Haze" after the first encore. The highlights were the NYPD drum-corps after "Sunshine" kicking off "Message in a Bottle" and Sting's numerous daughters (and a few sons later?) dancing during "Everything She Does is Magic". The trio made a few minor tweaks and changes, the comedic end with a roadie dressed up as the "fat lady opera singer" and Looney Toones' "That's All Folks" was funny, but left this fan wanting just a bit more. Instead of two extra songs from other bands, I wish we could have heard some of the gems in the catalog. Synchronicity, Murder By Numbers, Spirits in the Material, Walking in Your Footsteps, Bring on the Night. They know how to play them, in fact, they played them this tour. Just not all in one place. Doesn't the "final" gig justify that? A couple decades ago, I watched "The Church" play what seemed like an infinite show. It was almost 3 1/2 hours long and most of the crowd had left by the end. Inexplicably, they just kept playing and playing to a small Utah audience. I wondered how long The Police could play before I left. If by some superhuman ability, they could play days, weeks, months, how long would the fans hold out? When would it become obnoxious and numbing? How much is too much? When would I be forced to get back to reality and my life? In many ways this tour was that. 18 year-old Pete pushing 41-year-old Pete back into the fan-seat for a band that in some years I had forgotten completely. A band whom I spent most of my savings on buying singles and rarities during my first trip to New York in 1985 yet left me conservatively hesitant about how much to spend ($10K for a meet & greet?) for this trip. Whether intentional or not, the band consistently gave off the aura of, "Yes this is fun, but we'd really rather be doing something else." I was at the premier of Stewart's documentary at Sundance, I saw them at the beginning and end of the reunion tour and four times in between, yet I never met any of them except for weird, uncomfortable run-ins with Stewart in 1985 and once on this tour. I don't know what I'd say if I did meet all three of them. Thanks? That is about it. I'm glad I was there for the end. Reading others wishing makes me realize how fortunate I am. When Sting said "This is the last time we'll ever do this," before the "Can't Stand Losing You" "deeeyaaaayoh" sing-along, I really felt it and sang it with 19,000 other lucky fans at the top of my lungs. It was great to be there. Sunshine of Your Love Message in a Bottle (with NYPD Drum Corps) Walking on the Moon Demolition Man Voices / When the World is Running Down Don't Stand So Close To Me Demolition Man Driven To Tears Hole in My Life Everything She Does is Magic (with Sting's daughters and other family members) Wrapped Around Your Finger De Do Do Do De Da Da Da (with "There She Was Just A Walking Down the Street" intro) Invisible Sun Can't Stand Losing You Purple Haze (Sting sings a bit of Younger Than Springtime) Roxanne King of Pain So Lonely (Been Down So Long finish) Every Breath You Take Next To You (The Fat Lady Sings) (Looney Toones "That's All Folks")
