hello gang since the police are in full force I can show this to the special people tell me what you think Mario http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LugHmaeMkW4 David <dripdry@gmail.com> wrote: Oh! I didn't recall that, but I'm glad you bring that up. Well, that makes me happy. It just means one less point of friction that might break up the band again. Thanks Bruce! :-) David[MiaS] On 2/19/07, Bruce Greenwood <bruce.greenwood@rogers.com> wrote: While I like the "political" theory, remember it was Sting that initially said it would be just the three of them with no backing vocals or horns, then Stewart chimed in with his request to get feedback from the fans  so, in my mind it seems more of a genuine question than a political maneuver. Just my 2 cents (and remember, they're Canadian cents, so they're not worth much!!).

Can anyone verify this? I find it a potentially interesting political move on his part to, perhaps, derail Sting going for something like backing singers or horns or whatever, by deferring to the fans and making the choice very clear as well as making us feel like we actually have some control over what The Police do. Not sure if Stew saw the backing vocals as a potential issue amongst the band, but if that was the case I like his strategy :-) Now maybe he'll ask the fans about other things as well :-) David [in Chicago, in a Suitcase] On 2/19/07, David Lucky < dlucky711@yahoo.com> wrote: What do you all make of Stewarts comments about backing vocals for the police tour. If you recall at the press conf he listed 3 choices as follows: (1) the 2 of them (meaning Stew and Andy); (2) three backing singers (some girls andhe had a phrase for it) and (3) The Samples. The crowd clearly went for just the band which I am all for it. Very excited about no horns, backing vocals and just the 3 of them. Uncluttered and focused and about the music. Anyway, what did he mean by the samples. Did he mean the band the Sample - who I have seen live a number of times who I always thought sounded very Police like in terms of the vocals and the drumming. Or did he mean the samples as in samples of music like digital samples. Thoughts...
