I don't have a problem with the excellent show that I saw. Where my disappointment lies is that I feel that they led us on. They kept hinting at "new music, new album", and that's where I have a problem. I wish they had been upfront from the beginning, admitting that there was no intention to make new music at this point in time. I would feel a lot less disappointed right now if that had been the case. Hence, my next thought: what really WAS the motivation behind the tour? Was it REALLY for us fans? If it was, then why won't they write new music FOR US FANS?
For what it's worth...

Well to me, a reunion only sorta took place. I've seen Sting enough times that all the songs played sounded the same a solo tour. I'm thrilled I got to see my favourite band play before I die, but the true artistic test would have been new material as Andy and Stewart DO contribute to "that" sound, no question. Having said that, Sting writes the hits, and has little to lose resuming a solo career, and likely three times the money, and 100% control. Who can blame him? -----Original Message----- From: police-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:police-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Angeline Adams Sent: February 13, 2008 1:23 PM To: police@mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Police] Re: Police Digest, Vol 59, Issue 10 Yeah; the history of Police rumours being what it is, they might have done better not to say anything about new songs etc. until they were sure they'd be playing them - let alone a new album.

that is the point. We got andy stewart and even sting taking about a possible album, even stingus who obvioiusly was wrong. They should have been honest from the start. This is farewell tour, nothing more period and not even mention the possibility of an album Unless a man undertakes more than he possibly can do, he will never do all that he can --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

Conversely, Sting has appeared on several of Andy's albums. They have also joined each other on stage from time to time. As far as I know, the only time Stewart has played with Sting (asside from the wedding and the RNR Hall of Fame) was a European show on the Summoner's Tales tour where he sat in for a song or two. I don't recall Stewart and Andy playing together post Police - though they do share a commentary on Stewart's video from last year. I also heard that Andy was either an early member of Animal Logic or else participated on their first tour. But I've not been able to find ANYTHING to substantiate the claim. So, I don't give it much credibility. Mitch
Stewart and Andy played Roxanne and MiaB with Incubus for a KROQ christmas concert in '04. Mitch Darby wrote:

Hi Mitch, I know for a fact (talked to Deborah Holland) that Andy was in an early version of Animal Logic. When Andy was playing in the band, it was called "Rush Hour". Deborah Holland has also told me that one or two copies of live Rush Hour recordings exists. Not very good ones (the quality is pretty sub-par), but they do exist out there. I don't have copies of them, but I know one European collector that does. Hope that helps, Cheers, Jon -----Original Message----- From: police-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:police-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Mitch Darby Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2008 8:06 AM To: police@mailman.xmission.com Subject: RE: [Police] Re: Police Digest, Vol 59, Issue 10 I also heard that Andy was either an early member of Animal Logic or else participated on their first tour.

LOL. Well like I said, artistically there is too much to lose. If the Police flop with a new album (by today's standards), it would be embarrassing. A greatest hits tour was a sure thing, financially. -----Original Message----- From: police-bounces+ross=rossviner.com@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:police-bounces+ross=rossviner.com@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Mitch Darby Sent: February 13, 2008 3:27 PM To: police@mailman.xmission.com Subject: RE: [Police] Re: Police Digest, Vol 59, Issue 10 Ross wrote: Sting writes the hits, and has little to lose resuming a solo career, and likely three times the money, and 100% control.
