Hi Matt, I have to agree with you regarding a Sting solo show. I definitely felt that Way in Vancouver. I left the concert feeling a little disappointed regarding That fact. However, seeing them in Seattle just a few days later, things had Changed a great deal. Much more of a Police show, than a Sting concert. I too hope to see them again later in the tour... I think there is an audience Oakland show recording already out there. When I Get a link to download it, I will forward it on to you.

Maybe that is because I have seen Sting numerous times over the last twenty years. Maybe it was the large venue. Maybe it was only the second week of the tour. It is going to take some time to erase 23 years of them playing solo. I imagine over time they will continue to gel and recapture their original identity. No virus found in this outgoing message.
