I believe we need to view this DVD release from the perspective that the Police have not created new music in over two decades. A segment of the music industry’s target audience had not yet been born during the Synchronicity tour. As difficult as it may be to hear, we should expect there would be little or no publicity for a release aimed at a very small market niche.

 

A related question: Is the Police’s music of a quality that it will transcend generations? Is this decided lack of publicity an indicator that it will not?

 

Please, no flames for asking a heartfelt question. I’d enjoy hearing your thoughts on this matter.

I think you're right David. Where was the enthusiasm when The Police DID
reunite? Everyone seems to forget about that... Years of longing for a
reunion, and when they do get together (albeit for only three songs) no
one shows up, no one really talks about it here, and the press doesn't
really cover it...
