Hello everybody from Giovanni. I'm completely shocked as watching Stewart playing in front of me for seven hours drove me mad (4 hours yesterday and 3 hours today). Incredible energy! He did excercises, he played alone, with the orchestra, tried thousands of patterns..... As for the second Police show everybody is mentioning, THIS IS WHAT STEWART SAID: "We were asked to play in South-Africa at the show called 'Sending Out An S.O.S.', and for some reason the organizers decided it was 'Message In A Bottle' the symbolic song, then they asked us to perform; there will be U2 and some other big names. Sting didn't say yes.....(precise words said by Stewart)" He then continued, laughing, telling the following like a joke: "Andy and I were thinking about calling Bono instead of Sting....ahahahahah!" As you can read, this is a little different from what is written in the news; it seems like Andy and Stewart would really call Bono to perform with them instead of Sting! No other things were said about this. The show in Italy will be fantastic! The orchestra today sounded much better than yesterday, and Stewart is in great shape! He loves to play drums, he can't stand without, and never get too far from his drumset! He does cool excercises before playing, then he starts playing everything very fast and heavily! I never saw him like this! I can't really explain...well, just remember the Police live and you get the image and the sound! The drumset is more or less the same, apart he has no ro-to-tom set on his left, and added one more tom on his left! The show has one track from Rumblefish ('Our Mother Is Alive') and one from The Equalizer ('Lurking Solo'), then some compositions written for her wife and daughters, some others used for the Oklahoma Ballet; everything has more or less the same vibe of the 'Equalizer' stuff. IMPORTANT THING: I will tell Stewart about the fact that REAL fans want to go to the show in New York City, and that WE ALL KNOW it's so difficult as everything is on sponsors hands, and that at the end many people who don't even care about them will be there (we all know how sometimes this works)! I hope each one of you will have the chance to get an invitation in a way or another, I hope this for me too of course, BUT I WILL TELL HIM THAT REAL FANS NEED TO SEE THEM, and that we deserve it after years of waiting, even for a single show! I don't know if that may lead them to plan a show just for us, maybe the day before, but that will be my request! I'll talk to him on behalf of all of you POLICE FANS! We need it, we deserve it and it wouldn't be right if only a few of us will get in; of course I'll be happy for everyone who get the chance to get in, even if a few of us, but I really hope that my request may lead them to think about it! I know for sure that Stewart will call Sting one of these days to talk about the Police show (Stewart told me that) and maybe he will pass our request! Maybe they have already planned it, then our request will give them more 'push'! I'll keep you up-dated! Stewart also said he would love to play 2 hours instead of three single songs....and is working on it! Ciao ciao Giovanni I don't know if I have the time to write tomorrow or the other following days, but stay tuned! Ciao ciao Giovanni
