He also said setlists are for wimps. I think he is referring to Sting there. |

I think it is cool they not only make fun of themselves, but also didn't kill each other... Then again, a fre ticket might get me to a show, even then, maybe! |

As ususal SC has to shoot off his mouth or its his strange sense of humor...got the torrent of that show on dime and it sounds pretty good, certainly nothing to ashamed about...unlike most of Ronnie's playing since 1989 ! |

Me either Corgi.
Never understood what all the fuss was about.
They don't rock at all. It's all just silly pretentious pop music.
To each their own, I guess. |

I'll be seeing them next Sunday. I'll give a full report. I saw them in their short-lived heyday. I dug them then...now I'm a different listener. :-) It will be an interesting juxtaposition as I'll see Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi the night before the Police show....wonder how that experience will sound to my ears.
Stay tuned.
What's the Police's set-list? Anyone find that?
peace out,
Martha |

Great band. Wake up.. |

I can't believe this, is it really just the three of them on stage ?! No mention of a band here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Police_Reunion_Tour
Don't they at least have a guy on keyboards ? In any case they don't have 15 sidemen with them like Mick and the boys... |

having seen them, back in '84, contrary to reports of those who have not seen them, they ROCK
on a good night Stew Copeland is the best drummer out there.... |

I saw the Police long time ago I think it was 81 or 82 and the Go Go's were the opening act, the best thing in that show was the girls in the audience I've never seen such a big amount of very good looking girls and very very sexy, man I was watching the girls and not the stage. I don't give a fuck about the POlice or the Go Go's however I have a couple of records LOL
Andy Summer made a couple of albums with Robert Fripp, completely different to the Police music more Crimsonesque |

They toured Australia early 80's. Great fucking line up. Bryan Adams debut single was huge here, and he was fucking great! I dropped some speed when 'Cuts like a knife" started up. The Sunnyboys - Maybe the top 3 punky, no crap, straight ahead rock bands. Australian Crawl - one of the dullest bands we've ever produced. People were bored out of their skulls during their set. Human pyramids were going up and thats all the crowd cared about.
The Police had about 10 people on stage. Backing singers, another guitarist, keyboards etc. Sting had a little gay trampoline that he jumped on to give him some height. It was so lame!!!
Hated every minute of it.
But, the speed was good. Just ask my ex-g/f!!!! We still talk about it now and then. |

>having seen them, back in '84, contrary to reports of those who have not seen them, they ROCK<
I guess you are not talking about me...because I saw them on the same shitty tour that you did. Why did I go if I didn't like them?
Easy answer.
I had a friend who gave me 2 tickets when he got mono and couldn't go. I was gonna just sell them, but a chick who I'd been trying to bang wanted to go....so mission accomplished. I also sat through Night Ranger/Krokus/Def Leppard for the same reason...'cept I had to pay for those tickets.
Huh. Now that I think about it...that's not much different than buying a hooker for the evening.
Anyhow...I digress.
I went to that Police show...you know, I don't remember if it was at Hershey or on City Island....long time ago...crap I'm gettin' old....and....I just realized something. I remember almost nothing about that show at all. I remember that the chick did indeed put out, but that's all I can bring back at the moment. So this tells me something. If I don't remember the show at all...I'm trying to recall anything, and I'm coming up blank...it didn't make any impression on me. If the show made zero impression on me...then it didn't "ROCK". Oh snap, wait a minute...I remember that the show wasn't very loud. I think I remember them doing "Canary in a Coal Mine", but that's pretty fuzzy. Ah shit, it's gone now...
Anyhow, I can remember the shows from back then that really did ROCK. AC/DC, NRBQ, BB King...now those shows ROCKed. The Police did NOT ROCK, at least not on the night I saw them. Had they ROCKed, I woulda remembered it. Instead, all I remember is the pussy.
Sad note...she died the next year. She was helping her brother work on her car, and they closed the garage door because it was cold outside. Carbon Monoxide got 'em. Too bad...she was a really cool chick. |

I never said they weren't good. But just not good enough to be considered an A list rock n roll band, which is how it's being presented in the press. |

I didn't say that you said they weren't good. I'm just saying what somebody said to me the other day, something that he had been saying all week (in spite of what someone else thought that he had been saying the week before). |

Well ... like PT Barnum said "if you're going sell tickets, you'd better have a show." (or was that Nero who said that?) |

It would also help if they played actual Rock n Roll music. The Police are a Pop band. Pop is not Rock n Roll(IMO), even though it gets lumped in with the Rawk all the time.
I guess they are good at what they do. I dunno, I never really thought much about them. Actually....I don't care. They don't play Rock n Roll, so I don't really give a shit. |
