Personally, I wouldn't bet against an acoustic version of "Bring On The Night" ........

Personally, that would make me one very happy Super Cat...my favorite guitarwork by Andy <grin>

I think an acoustic "Message" would work really well, but I think the odds on hearing it that way have got to be pretty lousy. And, yeah, an acoustic "Bring on the Night" would be fantastic.

Cool article! I look forward to hearing whatever new arrangements they have planned. While it takes a lot of talent to reproduce your songs note-for-note in a live format, it would be less motivation for me to attend a show. The more improvisatory, the better!

We have *got* to get some new news soon cuz I would swear that we've already had much of this conversation about a dozen times over.

Acoustic-wise, "Bring on the Night" would easily work. "Every . . . Magic" is definitely a possibility, particularly re: SC's recent "diamond" comment. I agree that "Message" would work nicely but is unlikely -- lots of drums are part of the signature of the tune (and rightly so). "DDDDDDDD" would work although I wonder if it might be a bit annoying.

It won't happen, but I would be curious to hear an acoustic "CSLY." And "Bed's Too Big" (mmmmm). And "Darkness." Alas, a girl can dream.

So I guess my money's on an acoustic "Behind My Camel."

Get the Secret Policeman's OTHER Ball (circa 1981) which is sting and an electric guitar, and it sounded fantastic. However, with The Police, and
Message in a Bottle being Stew's fave police song, well, I'd bet on Pete Rose getting a statue in the hall of fame before they'd do it acoustically.
