I just checked YouTube and sure enough there were two "Next To You" footage from the event. Even though the second footage is only 42 seconds, you get to hear Henri playing a little bit of solo while Andy's holding the riff. It's not a life changing experience but hey, it's history. I so wish they took a shot at "Fall Out" instead, though. Why not take the risk for a couple of nights for a change?

French Culture Minister Christine Albanel conferred the Order of the Arts and Letters on Britons Gordon Sumner (Sting) and Andy Summers and American Stewart Copeland. Albanel praised the 80s group for the "new sound" that they generated and expressed "France's full admiration and recognition" for the band's music. "We are very touched because we deeply admire French culture," Sting told reporters in French following the brief ceremony at the culture ministry in Paris. He jokingly commented that as British subjects, he and Summers found it "very exotic" to be made "chevaliers" of the order of the French republic. Albanel praised Sting's "charisma and uncommon character" and noted that the first guitarist recruited to be part of the initial group in 1977 was Frenchman Henry Padovani, who was ousted after Summers joined that year. Padovani joined the trio on stage in Paris on Saturday to perform "Next To You", marking the first stage appearance of all four band members since the tour was launched in May. Thirty years after the band was formed, The Police -- now in their mid-fifties and 60s -- are back on stage, performing such vintage hits as "Roxanne" -- about a Paris prostitute -- "Message In A Bottle" and "Every Breath You Take." Close to 80,000 fans packed a stadium north of Paris on Saturday and Sunday to hear The Police, who will wrap up their European tour this month before heading back to the Americas ahead of concert dates in Australia, New Zealand and Asia next year. Shortly before noon on Monday, Sting, Summers and Copeland caused a commotion when they arrived at the culture ministry on rented bicycles that are part of the city's newest environmentally-friendly scheme. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Just a quick note which is only partially Police-related.. I've been lucky enough to see The Police a good number of times this summer and I have the good fortune of being able to see them 4 more times in October and November when they return to North America. In addition, the other concerts I have seen this summer have been Rush, Genesis, and Van Halen (I just came back from seeing Van Halen about 20 minutes ago and my ears are still ringing). So what year is this again? Is it possible that it's 2007? Less than a year ago if I were to have said that I was going to see The Police, Rush, Genesis, and Van Halen in one summer people would have asked where I park my time machine!!!! Now.if I could only get to Led Zeppelin next month in the UK...:-) Cheers, Bruce
Yes, I was thinking the same a few days ago...I saw THE CULT in July as well, and I wish I could see VAN HALEN in Europe soon...but there is a reason for this as well: if there is still place and vibe for all those 'old' names, it means that nowadays bands and names aren't that big to leave no space, if you know what I mean...

...funny you mention this... I think it¹s 1984, because : In 1984 : i saw Van Halen live ! (31.08.1984, supporting AC/DC !) In 1984 : I saw Supertramp Live, and before the show, they played the WHOLE Synchronicity album over the P.A. ! (just to get it right : NOT Supertramp played it, but the ³Front Of House² - mixer played the Album !) In 1984 : i felt in love with ³Synchronicity², that i missed it sooo much in my Summer Holidays...i had to buy a cassette in Italy! In 1984 : i was listening to Genesis¹s ³Genesis² album the whole damn day ! (yes, i know : released in 1983, but swiss people sometime take a long time to realize some things...btw : ³Genesis² - album also produced by Hugh Padgham !) So, c¹m on, it¹s 1984 and i am 18 years old...;-) okay ?!
