Hello gang! Good to see some lively talks here again! Perhaps our God just decided that 5 piece band is too small for him these days! :)  Anyway, I'm voting Yes for this tour as at least we got some new PR pics on the website... And a very promising tour tittle!!!!  Imagine your friends asking why are you going to Canada or States or wherever the tour brings you! And you just go: "Ahh, nothing really,  just an evening with Sting!" :D Love, peace, Panda xxx

Well, it's in my backyard, the Hollywood Bowl is an Excellent venue, I love orchestras, and I've seen these kinds of shows before, usually adding a richness, another dimension to the existing pieces... Yeah, I can see me with a bottle of wine, some brie, apples, and pepperidge farm... I'm in. Probably not with the expensive box seats, but I'm in.

Hi Holly (and the rest of the list!) The top Vancouver tickets are $257.00...yikes...I will have to think about this one....maybe they will be cheaper at other venues (I can hope). I paid less than that (although admittedly not much less) to see The Police from the first ten rows...not sure if I would spend that much to see him with an orchestra. Have to wait and see if he comes anywhere nearby before I make a decision. I also noticed that the fan club is selling exclusive premium packages again that guarantee first 15 rows of the stage, a specially designed Sting concert shirt, a collectible Tour poster (numbered and exclusive to this ticket package), an official tour program, a commemorative laminate and an exclusive Sting Tour gift...I can only guess how much these are going to be!

New Tour
by David Lucky 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

I agree with some of the comments earlier on this upcoming tour. I just cant pass up an opportunity to see Sting and his latest. However this one is a bit of a different one. I saw him at one of the Winter shows and think wow this guy just loves to tour and play. It is amazing and he certainly is a hard worker. And for that I am glad. I think back at all the different tours in past 6 years or so including the Broken music tour etc. I sure hope the tixs arent too much. Also, not sure how exciting this will be. Is there an album of orchestra versions down the road coming out? Or will it not include Police songs as the other guys may not go along with the idea? David

>From the press release about the tour: "Selections will include fan-favorites such as 'Roxanne', 'Next To You', 'Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic' and 'Every Breath You Take', to notable songs from Sting's enduring solo career - 'Englishman in New York', 'Fragile', 'Russians', 'If I Ever Lose My Faith in You', 'Fields of Gold', and 'Desert Rose.' " Personally...I find the choice of 'Next To You' interesting to say the least.... Bye! Hilary On Fri 26/02/10 11:06 AM , David dripdry(a)gmail.com sent: > Interesting.

Hello?

Wow, the silence since Sting announced his tour with the Philharmonic has been deafening. I sense a disturbance in the Force... can it be Sting fatigue? I will probably go if the tickets aren't a king's ransom and the venue is within driving distance, but I would have trouble in these tough economic times justifying a huge expense for something I've seen and heard before. I was among those quite disappointed with the Winter album, so while I'm glad he's sticking to tried and true songs, it's interesting that he's doing the whole orchestral deal. Comments? Agree? Disagree? Hey, not all of you are stuck in the middle of the worst winter in Pennsylvania since the blizzard of '93, and even I'm not hibernating, so let 's hear from you! Stay warm (where applicable) and have a great weekend! Holly

Some Sting stuff
by sweetmomb＠cs.com 15 Feb '10

15 Feb '10

Hi Everyone, We're supposed to get more snow today. Hooray. Or,wait, what's the exact opposite of hooray?<sigh> A few Sting things: First, found a book at a book sale called "Take This Advice: Best Graduation Speeches Ever Made", Edited by Sandra Bark. It gives the text of a commencement speech that Sting made at the Berklee College of Music in 1994. I'm pretty sure some of it appeared later in the book "Broken Music". Second, there was a nice article in the Philadelphia Inquirer on Sunday, 1/31/10, regarding Sting's appearance at the Academy of Music in Philly for an anniversary concert benefitting the Phila. Orchestra. Seems that all of his friends had already done this benefit, and he was the latest; Billy Joel, James Taylor, etc., had gone before. Finally, I won the weekly puzzle contest on National Public Radio this past weekend, and they usually have a celebrity read the list of prizes to the winners. When they called to notify me that I had won, I said to the producer, "Now, if you tell me that Sting will be reading my prizes, I can die a happy woman!" She said they did actually have a musician lined up to do it, but not Sting. When they called to tape the segment for Weekend Edition Sunday, the producer said they had actually attempted to reach Sting, but had been unable to do so. He was apparently interviewed by them recently, so I have to go into the archives and look that up. But I just want to give this plug for NPR -- what a nice bunch of people! I'm pretty sure you can hear my segment at npr.org. I had great fun, and they did mention Sting when they taped the segment! BTW, the musician who read my prizes was Josh Turner, who was recently described by Blender magazine as the "Barry White of Country Music". Not my first choice, but it was a fun experience! That's all I've got for today -- I'll let you know if anything else comes up! Have a great week everyone! Holly
