hello all

great show in montreal last night! and you folks living in montreal are wonderful, everyone i encountered was so nice, level headed, bright and healthy, so different from 45 miles south, strange. it was like going back in time before everyone in america was an obese, thug-headed, incurious backwards baseball cap wearing neanderthal. well not everyone, but it seems the majority these days.

anyway, just lots of good, smart, healthy, considerate and conscientious people in montreal.

some quick observations of the show:
was andy in a clowning mood last night or what? i was lucky to capture some video of his crazy gyrations, good stuff.
sting was really hitting some of his tougher vocal phrases. and interplay between andy and sting (both physical and sonic) was  something i had hoped they would be able to generate with such sincerity as the tour rolls on and it was accomplished.
stewart's gong had great effect on the building, quite a powerful vibration - but perhaps it was merely my proximity (in section 109 behind andy) that lent to the power of his gong. was it well heard and felt for those of you in 420 or some other stretch of centre bell?  
invisible sun struck me like it never has, i now hold it in much higher regard after last night's rendition.
the stage setup and police rigging in general was such elegant utility, and i very much appreciated the thought put into making this aspect efficient and non intrusive to audience and band connection.
three songs on the telecaster is not enough! but what a great experience it was to hear once again. 
stewart needs should receive more feature time on the specialized kit, but hearing him go about his way on the kit during 'wrapped' and 'king of pain' was a chilling an emotional high.


again thanks to all the good people in montreal and the helpful folks on this list. this concert was a delightful experience and hopefully everyone who wants to, gets the opportunity to experience the police and experience such positive synchronicitous events.
