I with Pete. I've been hoping and praying all along that they will end the tour at Wembly Stadium, and I am there if they do!! Especially hearing from everyone how much better they get as the tour progresses!!

>Dodger Stadium was the last show I had tickets for. I'm glad I got to
>see the Vancouver rehearsal and Denver due to the song cuts. I missed
>Spirits not for the weak rendition, but the terrific video/light show
>that goes with it. The Ghost in the Machine LED faces are my favorite
>iconography. They should have made electric pins with that instead of
>the Utah shaped "THE POLICE".
>
>I'm not a big Foo Fighters fan, but they put on a great stage show.
>Dave Grohl walked out through the floor all the way to the light stage
>in the back to play, then ran around the outside of the seating. I
>can't imagine Sting ever leaving the stage.

>Dodger was probably the best show out of the three. The song order
>worked a lot more, and it appears Andy has given up pretending to sing
>some of the more prominent backing. Sting did his "Andy this is
>Stewart" joke and Stewart cracked back saying, "Sting, I think 20,000
>people here already know that joke." Hooray!
>
>The stadium setup has two additional giant side LED screens that have
>the same kind of effects as the standard LED ring above the stage.
>There were signs at the entries giving notification of a film being
>made. A helicopter flew over the crowd during Foo Fighters. Of course
>I hope that this is show is like Atlanta was for the Synchronicity DVD,
>but I'm guessing they'll put out a DVD with clips from the entire tour.
>
>It was sublime listening to "Walking on the Moon" below the actual
>moon. The effect of 55,000 people singing along is something unique. I
>wish I could hear it from the stage. It is most likely what really gets
>Sting off on the sing-alongs. Tonight was the closest thing to Shea
>since 1984. If they close in Wembly, I'll be there.
>
>Set list:
>
>Message in a Bottle
>Synchronicity 2
>Walking on the Moon
>Voices / World Running Down
>Don't Stand So Close To Me
>Driven to Tears
>The Bed's Too Big Without You
>Truth Hits Everybody
>Everything She Does is Magic
>Wrapped Around Your Finger
>De Do Do Do
