Anyone going to see the Police?


The prices for decent seats at some of these shows is staggering. That said, I cannot miss them, they are one of my favorite bands of all time. It was really good seeing them play together at the Grammy's. Anyway, just thought I'd see what everyone thought of the tour.

I don't listen to them as much as I used to, but I still do. With my computer
music server, I have made a play list of my favorites from all there albums. I
probably spend more time listening to Ghost, Zenyatta, and Regatta, than the
others.

The Police (along with Dylan and the Stones) are one of the reasons I was an
early adopter of SACD way back when it first came out. I have not done SACD
for years now but have bought the most recent redbook remasters of their
albums (3-4 years back now, I think), which sound very good. Apparently
most of Sting's solo albums have been remastered but the remasters are only
sold in Europe. My friend found them on eBay and is awaiting them. I can't
wait to hear them.

I am going to see them in Tornonto - Lower bowl seats through a ticket
service.

I think Sting needs this tour, creatively speaking. Don't get me wrong, I love
his solo stuff through Brand New Day. IMHO though, he's lost his edge, and
this is an attempt to get it back (to say nothing of the nice paychecks they all
are going to make from this effort). Sacred Love was simply unnaceptable and
the latest classical inspired effort is, well, a pointless exploration for him
(again, IMHO).

Anyway, I hope the tour works for him--gets his groove back. I'm happy to
sit on the sidelines and cheer them on.
I have two tickets available for this Sunday's (7/22) show in Toronto. I thought I
could go but cannot. Email me if you are interested, know someone who is, or
know how I can sell them on short notice. I'll be seeing them in Detroit
tomorrow night.
