by foxie 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

Guy - I have one ticket to the August 4 concert in Jones Beach (15 rows from stage); and August 7 concert in Madison Square Garden (section 40, lower loge). I am going to the MSG show, got TWO tickets (I am using one). I cannot use the one for Jones Beach. Anyone that would like to buy either ticket from me, just let me know. Looking for face value and cost to ship to you, NO MORE THAN THAT. Best, Rich

Police/Andy make RS 100 best guitar songs of all time list
by Chris Babcock 07 Jun '08

07 Jun '08

65 "Message in a Bottle" The Police (1979) In Andy Summers, Sting had a rare and precious thing, especially for the punk era: an assertive, melodic sidekick who played for the singer and the song. This second-album Police hit is a catalog of supporting brilliance, from the brittle main riff to the patches of watery strum. Here's the link: http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/20947527/page/28

The silence has been deafening regarding the last show. I haven't received any notification from the fan club regarding buying tickets Monday. Anyone going to try and buy tickets on the 14th from the public television stations? http://www.nme.com/news/the-police/37168

Ah, I KNEW I left something out: I LOVED EC!!! he was great, I am a fan from 'way back, and I'm glad I finally got to see him. He had his great keyboardist with him, and they did all the great tunes... and then scruffy came out and sang Allison w/ him... that, actually, went pretty well: their voices can do similar types of songs, I think. Thanks for asking, Pete, I am smiling again...

I have not read that many reviews of the last leg of this journey... after seeing the show last week at the bowl, I actually understand why. A couple people asked me re: it, but all-in-all, not that much interest. To be honest with myself, perhaps I should have not seen the boys just one more time... Two things that I allow to bother me: one, the scruffy unkempt beard of Sting's. Sweetie, as much as I secretly fantasize about you, it's Never with a beard on! It adds a good ten years. The other downer: the start of the show was no Bob Marley, no grand entrance, just the boys doing a rather mellow version of BOTN with the bass master playing the guitar as he was sitting on a stool. Golden lights, b/w video images. Can I say it? DARE I say it? BOR-ING!!! (plus, I'm thinking not their fault (the venue may not have allowed for it), the light show was greatly reduced to about 25% of what we saw last year.) Here's the catch: my friends, who were seeing the show for the first time (as I gathered most of the folks around me were) thought it was Great! [sigh] They sounded good, that's not it, but if I had to rate their energy on a scale from 1-10, 10 being the start of last year in Vancouver BC or in Vegas or the Honda Center, I'd put it at a 6.5-ish. That was their energy. an okay-ish rating. It seems that our boys are through, done, finito. You know how it is, you're almost at the end of a very long project and all you can do is count the days until it ends. Until the end, that is. Then the energy goes back up because there Is light at the end of the tunnel!! So all you with tix to their last show(s), I'm guessing you will see a very, very good show. But for now, biding time seems to be the order of the day. Good stuff: they still sound incredible, and I LOVE the big-ass HD screen in the back... I was 1/2 way up in the Hollywood Bowl, but that's still a sizable distance, and that monitor looked the same as my hi-def in my living room, five feet away. Amazing. Any one know which technology that screen is using? Plasma? LCD? the tiny little mirrors??... lol... Also, I will say that overall my experience at the bowl was good. I wore my "dress rehersal" t-shirt as it was EXACTLY one year ago... May 27th 2007 to May 27th 2008. If nothing else, eight concerts in one year for the Police was a dream I never thought would happen, I never ever thought possible in this lifetime. hmmmmmm.... maybe I will get married again, who knows!

Stewart in Magazines

Hey all, Stewart is the feature article and on the cover of Drumhead magazine for May - June 2008. I found my copy at Barnes & Noble. The interview is quite lengthy though I haven't read the article yet. Also he is on the cover of Modern Drummer Presents Drum Gods II. This cover is from the Police's original run. There a few dozen drummers featured with a discography and excerpts from past articles. Pat
