I just found out that the tour is stopping in my home town of Salt Lake City. This after I traveled to Vancouver, Denver, and Los Angeles to see them. Ah well, I enjoyed those shows too! The final show in Jones Beach is a bit of "synchronicity" for me. I first saw Sting on the DoBT tour in Park City in 1985. Stewart played during the encore for that show. Later, I went to visit my brother in New York City and found out that Sting was playing again in Jones Beach while I was there. For some reason I was inspired to take the back stage pass I snagged in Park City to NYC. I didn't have a ticket to the show and I only had train fair for a round trip. In the end I managed to get to Jones Beach and back by hitch-hiking and I snagged a ticket from a guy for $10 because he was selling it for his sister. I saw the show, put on my pass, then headed backstage, only to be caught by a guard who did a double-take on me when he noticed that the color of my pass was the wrong color for the night! I spent about an hour wandering through the Long Island night waiting for a ride back to the train station, but it made for some good memories.

Same here. The tour is coming to Orlando after I flew to Vegas to see them. (The two Florida dates on the first leg were on weeknights, so my darling hubby couldn't go.) We'll probably go, but this time it's the cheap seats for us. In Vegas we were in the 6th row. It was great, but that's too much money to shell out twice. Chris
