Well, I enjoyed it! I was all the way up at the top of the grandstand on the right, but the sound was quite clear and (with binoculars) I didn't miss a thing! I thought he looked and sounded great, and so did Annie Lennox. The number of old tunes was a surprise to me -- I've been trying not to read the posted reviews so I wouldn't have the setlist memorized -- and the overKipperization was not too bad. My experience was a little disrupted by two things: The idiot on my right was one of those who had a great talent for being able to whistle at an ear-splitting level, and he did it quite often, even after his wife and I both made disparaging remarks about it. Second, it was in a stadium, so everyone felt free to smoke, even cigars, which (sorry, smokers) to me smells like a trash fire. Fortunately, it was a cool, clear breezy night, so it wasn't too bad, and by the second encore, we had moved away from the whistling idiot. If anyone on this list has access to Sting, encourage him to find venues that are not necessarily open-air, or that have a no-smoking (and no whistling!!) policy Finally, a question: I bought one of those mugs that says, "A mug shot of Sting and his band" -- I love it!! Does anyone know who did the drawing? Also, the local newspaper put out a special concert edition and distributed it for free right after the concert. I got a couple of extra copies, so anyone out there who must have all things Sting, I'll be glad to send 'em out, first come first served. Have a great weekend! Holly PS -- he ended the concert by saying, "Thank you Pennsylvania -- we'll see you again!!" Does this mean another CD/another tour? PPS -- His Cheb-less version of Desert Rose was perfectly acceptable, and he did A Thousand Years, which was a treat for me. Now, if he would only resurrect When We Dance...<sigh> ;-)
Hi Holly (adn anyone else who might be wondering), I'm pretty sure the drawing is by Dominic. I've seen several of his drawings in the past, and they look just like the one on the mug.
