Oh, God, no. :|

Even back in the Police days, I don't remember a whole lot of differences from show to show, including the outfits.

Yes, the lucky outfit/security blanket. :) Whatever, I doubt that there was a script at the time. I can't fathom the fact that Sting is scripted (much less Stewart and Andy). He's not performing a play for goodness sakes! I think of when I went to see the same Shakespeare play with the same cast. It was once in London, and then in Brooklyn. :) It was the same words, the same direction and the same stage setting. However, I went away with two different points of view on the play and what became of the characters from one venue to the other. The reason, I guessed, was because the cast must have done something different. Sting should do something different with his script from place to place. In the past, as you say (and I recall) he did sometimes go with the same setlist. However, the energy and vitality of the show (or something) gave no one reason to complain. Now, as we read from these various reviewers who haven't seen but the one show--he's holding back. I don't think it's him; it's the material. I still say it, because I have no desire to listen to SL again.

It's not his fault he has us fanatics that go to more than one show and we have to hear the same jokes over again and know every move he's going to make!

I know, but it's not fair to blame the audience. This is like blaming those people who come back again to see him. That's not fair. Besides, it's obvious now, that it's not just the returning fanatics who think that way.

Can you imagine if he went the Celine Dion way and played Vegas night after night?

Have you no shame in puting this thought in my head? :)

How many people would go to more than a couple shows?

Only those with OCD and a love of Celine Dion. Teri ________________________________________________________________ Speed up your surfing with Juno SpeedBand. Now includes pop-up blocker! Only $14.95/ month - visit http://www.juno.com/surf to sign up today!
