In listening to the aud recording of the rehersal show, I have the same view. I think a good few of the songs have been reworked to such a point that the defining line between solo sting and the police, is somewhat blurred. DTSSCTM sounded somewhat 86ish, and was similar to the way Sting played it on tour down here a number of years ago. But having said that I am now 20 plus years on from when I saw them in 1984 at the Sydney and Melbourne shows, and my taste in music has grown appreciably since then. Maybe as musicans they have grown as well! and their arrangements are reflective of their ages and tastes.

Also why no DVD or cds of concerts and no tie in with XM or Sirius for shows yet. Maybe some of that good stuff is to come??
