I tried to send this earlier today, but had a glitch, I guess.
I watched the new DVD last night. Here's a quick review.
Best Buy has the DVD for $18, Borders has it for $20. My local Wherehouse didn't have it at all.
Circuit City = $15.99
I've got a lot of this stuff on video, but it's been ages since I've watched it, so my memory is faulty. But I think some of the videos are ones I've never seen before.
The Roxanne video isn't the guys with the red backdrop, which is the one I'm used to. It's a mostly live concert video with Sting in his jumpsuit looking intently into the camera a lot. Often, the vocals don't match what's on screen.
Yeah it would of been great to have the original red room video on DVD... kinda sucks since its on VH1 Classic all the time too.
I think So Lonely was new to me, as was De Do Do Do (standing in the snow is soooo exciting).
The "So Lonely" video is from the "Around The World" video.
The video for Don't Stand 86 is just terrible. Horrible. Stewart and Andy are Photoshop cardboard cutouts who stand with their arms folded the whole time. Sting isn't much better. At the end, when they flash pictures of the Police's album covers and magazine covers over their heads, you can see that Dream of the Blue Turtles is one of the covers flashed. I hadn't noticed it before. Interesting.
Not to mention that Sting's DOTBT band was also shown in the video too. Angel C. Little
