The Police: Big in Japan...really?
Posted: 11 Aug 2011 09:45Hi folks,
this morning while driving to work I listened to one of Sting's concerts from his last Symphonicity tour:
January 13, 2011 Osaka.
When "King of pain" started I thought: "Well, how this must have been like during the Synchronicity tour in Japan?"
Then it struck me: Wait a second, they didn't play Japan on that tour, did they?
And they didn't tour Japan also on the Ghost tour so the last live appearance as a band was indeed on February 7, 1981(!) in Sendai at the end of the Zenyatta tour.
Maybe Stewart or Jeff can shed a little light on this why The Police did not tour JAPAN during their heyday?
Just curious,
Rüdiger
