Thanks for the technical review of the video, although disappointing. I'm a tech and I've been waiting the tech reviews. How was the lighting? (that's my specialty.) On May 30, 2007, at 3:35 PM, Jon & Susan wrote:
Hello everyone,
No point rehashing what others have said. The band was great to see live. But here are a few additional opening night concert comments and expectations:
1. Fiction Plane was great; their new CD hasn't grabbed me in like their earlier one, but I really enjoy the song live. Big difference. Surprised no one has mentioned them in their reviews.
2. The video production company doing the multimedia was horrible. (I can say this because I work in the industry!) The video screens would go to black constantly. The video crew didn't record or broadcast an entire song ("Murder By Numbers"); I felt bad for the people at the back of the venue who relied on the video monitors so see the band. I expected much more professionalism when it came to the production of the concert. At point point they flashed a black and white still image of a clock with Stewart's face up on the screens at the wrong time. It was suppose to be done on the next song being played. Obviously someone pushed the wrong button. For the money spent, I expected a better performance out of the production crew. Very disappointed.
3. Stewart's use of the extra, big, incredible drum set was awesome. "Wrapped Around Your Finger" and "Walking In Your Footsteps" were highlights because of Stewart's extra work with the big drums!
4. The Police '07 were all about highlighting Andy's guitar work. Sting summarized it all during "So Lonely" when he sang 'welcome to the Andy Summer's show'.
That is all for now.
Cheers, Jon
