Sorry for being late posting this but, here goes: The weather couldn't have been more beautiful which really started the night off well. Dominic opened and was sweet and friendly - the crowd was still pretty thin at that point - my favorite part of his set was his playing of The Star Spangled Banner. He told us he would be available after Annie's set to sign autographs and meet people. He was, I did! No biggie for some of our list members I know but for me it was an amazing moment. He was so open and friendly and it was just awesome to meet him, shake his hand and get his autograph. I did get to tell him that I was glad he grew his hair out which made him laugh. It all just made my night! The crowd had picked up quite a bit by the time Annie came on and she was just tremendous! I was surprised and happy that she included Waiting in Vain. It's always been one of my favorite Marley tunes and I really love her version. Had to punch out on her last song though so I could get in the Dominic line! Sting came on just after dark and by then the crowd was full. I, of course, ended up sitting next to all of the dead people. Our seats were just behind the Pavilion's VIP section which was populated by recipients of the tickets the house held. I hate to be bitter but it pisses me off to see those tix go to people who don't know or care about Sting's music....they chit chat during the sets, have no reaction to the music, don't clap after a song, etc. Each table was a corporate table for different companies in the area. Pissed me off and I'm clearly still sulking......but I digress. Sting's set list was the same as those since he started touring with Annie, although I hadn't realized he was doing Seven Days, I can think of numerous other songs I wish he'd added instead, since we got Seven Days during BND tour, but it's a song I like so no biggie. The band was great, Keith Carlock looks too young to be out on tour with the grown ups but damn that kid can wail! Jason was brilliant and of course Dom was his usual amazing self. I really could live without Kipper along with his influence on Sting's music but even so.....it was just awesome to hear Synchronicity, King of Pain, and, wow, Joy Rose just owns WISYN. I loved every single moment of his set. He looked gorgeous and sounded even better. I have to say I really miss having Fragile at the end - while I see the point of it following This War I really miss the "tradition" of it being his last song. So, for this Sting fan, I loved, loved, LOVED the night from start to finish....ESPECIALLY meeting Dominic. Hope everyone is having a lovely summer! ~Anne
