OK…it was freakin’
AWESOME. They played with rhythms in VERY cool ways throughout the night –
Bed’s Too Big and So Lonely were great examples. Walking in Your
Footsteps was fantastic. Also, I thought it was very interesting to hear
a new version of Every Little Thing – maybe the original is better, but
come on…it’s 23 years later, so I’m glad they changed things
up a bit on a few songs!
I agree, King of Pain didn’t work so
well, and in general I would have preferred for Sting’s bass to have more
punch….but they played well, it was exciting, they were certainly happy
to be there…and I loved being there myself. The energy was great,
and they had some great jam sessions in a number of songs. I would have
liked them to play Regatta De Blanc a bit longer in the middle of Can’t Stand
Losing you, but it still built up to a wicked frenzy and the audience was going
crazy. REM was in the audience, as was Eddie Vetter (spelling??) from Pearl
Jam, and he thoroughly enjoyed the show too.
To everyone that is patiently waiting to
see The Police later on the tour and wondering whether or not they still have
it…well, my answer is yes they do! You will not be disappointed.
On another cool note, Danny Q gave me
Sting’s setlist after the show, so I have in my possession the setlist
from The Police’s first concert in 23 years – how cool is that!?!?
It’ s also been great finally
meeting people whose names I know from this list but have never met in person
before….Michelle, Maggie, Dietmar, Toni etc. etc. etc. Great times,
my friends. Great times, indeed.
Cheers,
Bruce

Wow, seems it was a boring show,
Dietmar...only 1 great, 2 very goods, 2 good’s and many ok’s and
many booorings....maybe our expectations where toooo high ?
Was it that bad ?
I don’t know, but in a way i’m scared to see THE POLICE, after 27
years of waiting, but...we will see which changes will happen in the next
concerts !
Peace
