At the improbable reunion concert that you attend, which songs would make you stand in your chair and which ones would make you leave for the bathrooms?
Must haves:
Born in the 50's, Reggatta de blanc, walking on the moon, driven to tears, world is running down, invisible sun, [b]murder by numbers[/b], de do do do, oh my god
Bathroom songs:
Any solo material, for obvious reasons. Every breath, every little thing, dont stand so close, roxanne (not because these songs are bad, but because they've been played to death already)
B-sides: Be my girl/Sally, Mother, on any other day
What would your selections be?

Bathroom time:
ANYTHING STING SOLO (POST POLICE). AMEN!!
LET'S DO THIS ONE FOR THE TRUE POLICE LOYALISTS EH BOYS??
Be brave Sting Stew and Andy! Not too many of the 'hits' I mean let's not make this a greatest hits tour, pleeease!!? And let's stretch the trio to see how much they can stand on their own with out 15 backup singers, and orchestra, or whatever (ok Sting?).
Must haves: Deathwish, Bed's too big, Does Everyone Stare, Synchro I, II, Driven to Tears

I thought I was the only one that picked what songs to pee during.
... it's one of the reasons I like knowing the set list ahead of time.
Oh and I was planning to go during Sting's solo aswell. If there's none, then Every Breath You Take.

I´d Like a Reunion set list whith some rare songs Played Live!!
At least 2 or 3 songs
Like for instance:
1.Secret Journey,Omegaman,Canary in a coalmine,Murder By Numbers,Bring On the Night (not Sting´s Solo version),Shadows in the Rain(live version),Bombs away,No time this time,Oh my God,Miss Gradenko,I Burn for You,...
I´d like not to be played:When The world(is a good track but played to death by Sting)
I´d like Adny to play a song whith his Synth guitar,and I hope he would rescue the Police "Sound" and chords!!What worries me is that he plays these days whithout effects and it´s a very important part of Police sound.Let see what happens!!

Hopping on chair: Any Other Day, Every Little Thing, Synchronicty 2, So Lonely
Going to pee: Another Kind of Loving is the only song I absolutely hate. Mother would be another candidate. In fact, no offense to him but the only Andy-penned song I really love is Someone to Talk To.

Desperately would love to hear: One World, Driven to Tears, Deathwish, Bed's Too Big Without You, Shadows in the Rain, Darkness (Stewart's Gizmo version), Miss Gradenko (ditto).
Bathroom songs? I don't think I could bear to miss a beat, though probably Every Breath You Take if I was in trouble of a bladder breaker!

I will DIE if Stewart gets to play Gizmo stuff and/or bring along musicians. AIEEEE!

One other recommendation, if I could be so bold.
The Police really need to vary the setlist every night. It would be a real drag to see them more than once, and hear the exact songs in the exact order

Yes it would be so horrible to see them multiple times.

As if seeing the Police 2 nights in a row could EVER be a drag!

I'd go for a slash while Sting does his lame crowd singalong bit in the middle of So Lonely. I'd probably have time to get to the bar for a pint as well.

I too would love it if they would perform some less obvious tunes. The live version of Bed's Too Big Without You was always amazing, I never understood how that got dropped from their set list in later tours... I'd like some Stewart and Andy songs: Darkness, Miss Gradenko, Omega Man. I'd also like them to do Deathwish, Secret Journey and Shadows In The Rain...
That would be awesome if they would switch up their set list from night to night. I plan on seeing them as many times as possible. I'm in the LA area so that's an obvious one, but I'm also willing to travel to any city close enough to be a day trip; I'm thinking San Diego, Vegas, Phoenix, and San Francisco. I'll be looking for those Don't Care shirts!

I'm with Ceebab that the only song I really can't tolerate is Another Kind of Loving.
Beyond that, I will suffer any indignity rather than leave to pee.
Would love to hear Omega Man, Driven to Tears, Synchronicity I, Other Way of Stopping, Regatta de Blanc / Can't Stand Losing You.

I can just see it, "*nudge nudge* Stewart, look that person peed their pants!"
I've tried not drinking much, and of coarse going before the show starts... but still I always HAVE to go half way through. So they better put Every Breath You Take smack int he middle.
