trivia note: Stewart Copeland attended this concert.

Stewart was at the show and told Sting that he would have played on the other opera house in town...simply a little bigger than the one where Sting played! Hihihihihi...

By the way, no new Sting records scheduled as of now, but there will be a GREATEST HITS (probably double cd) in November.

[smax]

a great band... glad that he's back to a smaller band and making some loud noises......

so , josh f twatted that Stewart was there? Can we assume that they chatted then?

but again the same refrain; where are the new songs, gordo?

LiSting speaks of some tracks from Dream of the Blue Turtles which have been re-mixed and, apparently, sound amazing... too bad that they may only be available on the mega-priced 25 years box set thingy.

"Back To Bass"- Tour? Really? (really...)
Should be called "I-Hope-Noone-Notices-I-Don't-Write-Any-New-Songs"-Tour!

[smax]

pleased that he'll be playing bass and not laconically leaning on a mike stand.

the press release proudly says that this is to promote his Solo Boxset thingy... and yet he'll still be playing some Police songs, i know they're his songs but i woulda thought if there was ever a time not to play them, this'd be it.

electric violin, anyone?

does he ever stop touring?

[Kim]

How about Back to the Studio? Hmmmm.

[sockii]

You'd think one of these days he could stop touring rehashed material and maybe spend some time writing something new again, yeah. I have like seriously less-than-zero interest in seeing this.
