it's especially cool at 2:53 min where I can be seen clapping right to the left of Andy's legs
otherwise it's Meg, Meg and - yes - Meg right next to the drums !

...how much did that cost? The tickets I mean?

I would have loved to have been there. :p


Stewart makes it look s'doggone easy!

The cost? As someone who was right in the front row with Deitmar, Meg, Pluto, etc., I can tell you EXACTLY the cost.

NOTHING!!!!!! The coolest gift ever from the coolest drummer ever! I still can't believe it. But I have pictures and video proving it.

For those new to the forum, STEWART gave out TONS of free tickets to us here at SC.net and a number of us were allowed to be right up in the front in the pit. For much of the show, I was standing right next to Sting's daughter and other Police family (until they came up onto the stage during ELTSDIM). Check out the old threads to read the whole story. There are a number of quite long ones on the subject.

100 tickets were given away for free for everyone involved in this forum. Stewart, Derek Power (his manager) and I, made our best to involve everyone surfing this website, people who spent tons of money to see many other Police shows, and it was a sort of 'Thank You' from Stewart.
I got crazy to make it work, night phone calls with the US, mails with the fans, agreement with the Police management and rules to follow....kinda nightmare in a way, but we made it at the end, and I was very happy, even if I was not planning to go...you can tell I worked for that show anyway.
It was a great great great way to say 'thanks' from a musician to the fans.

And the rest of us got an AMAZING view of the man and his chariot of fire! Truly a dream come true.

WOW, that's epic!

Had I entered my head-on nutter stage at that time... that would have been a dream come true!

Stewart cares for his fans more than I realized, and apparently not just him. Just plain awesome!
