Holy freakin' freak! So many Police songs! I guess Sting now knows what brand of butter his bread is liberally covered with, and it ain't no Land o' Lutes; it's pure Police gold!

I don't want to detract from Ram's amazing experience as I'm thrilled for him. Having said that, I'm personally sooooo glad that I didn't attend this show. After seeing all those songs numerous times this summer played the way they were written to be played, it just wouldn't have been the same to see them again with only 1/3 of The Police. No offense to the fine musicians that accompanied Sting. We were spoiled by Tourzilla, is all.

I'm now picturing the old Parkay commercials with a tub of margarine saying "Police."

That is a lot of Police and he also did 2 of my favorite of his solo songs, Fortress and Desert Rose. Nice set list.

Thanks for posting, DM.

If it weren't for the craptastic cartoon of a John Ford film called 'Seven Days', that Set would be the envy of every songwriter I can think of.

I'm surprised though.

No 'Fragile'?

According to the the other thread, Fragile was in the sound check but not the show itself. Personally, I am not a big fan of that song, but many others are.

Pass thanks.

LL that is HILARIOUS!

BRAND is the right word, my friend!

Glad for my friend Heather tho, who danced onstage during Desert Rose. She deserves it.

Are you thinking of "Love is Stronger than Justice"?

How does it feel to play those songs NOW without Stewart + Andy ?

What's the sense of playing....you know the rest...;-) !
