That occurred to me. Andy did once, Stewart never did. That would leave me more than happy. -----Original Message----- From: StingUs [mailto:info@stingus.net] Sent: February 13, 2008 1:33 PM To: 'Ross Viner'; police@mailman.xmission.com Subject: RE: [Police] Re: Police Digest, Vol 59, Issue 10 Maybe dreaming . but Sting's new album could use some nice guest musicians J, Andy, Stew? And PLEEEEEEEEEEAAASE get those old concerts out on DVD! And preferably those we have never seen before.

I've seen Sting enough times that all the songs played sounded the same a solo tour. I'm thrilled I got to see my favourite band play before I die, but the true artistic test would have been new material as Andy and Stewart DO contribute to "that" sound, no question. Having said that, Sting writes the hits, and has little to lose resuming a solo career, and likely three times the money, and 100% control. Who can blame him? -----Original Message----- From: police-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:police-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Angeline Adams Sent: February 13, 2008 1:23 PM To: police@mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Police] Re: Police Digest, Vol 59, Issue 10 Yeah; the history of Police rumours being what it is, they might have done better not to say anything about new songs etc. until they were sure they'd be playing them - let alone a new album. Honestly, I'm not complaining that the tour happened - if it did one fine thing, it was to make the fans equal. Before there was the generation who'd seen the band live and the generation who hadn't, and now we've all had that chance. :) It's just... what Marisa said. People do get disappointed when "new album" gets waved about...

Where my disappointment lies is that I feel that they led us on. They kept hinting at "new music, new album", and that's where I have a problem. I wish they had been upfront from the beginning, admitting that there was no intention to make new music at this point in time. I would feel a lot less disappointed right now if that had been the case. Hence, my next thought: what really WAS the motivation behind the tour? Was it REALLY for us fans? If it was, then why won't they write new music FOR US FANS? For what it's worth... - Marisa
