I hate these threads, but I have to do it...

My sister was telling me I have to be the biggest Police fan. Then I told her about Dietmar. She still doesn't believe me.

these are the first two gigs they will play for a paying audience.
I waited too long to miss that chance.

they might break up again before reaching Europe...
Andy might die of old age...

so I have to see them early on

Wow, I had no idea you had never seen them. I suspect those of us that missed them in our youth are the ones who became the really obsessive Police fans/collectors.[/quote]

I can't speak for everybody, but i wholeheartedly concur from my experience. I really believed they would reunite 'til about '94 or so. It must surely have contributed to my growing rabid fandom, as i didn't become a fan 'til Synchronicity.

That is absolutely hilarious! Thanks again for helping me complete my Police collection. I know you are going to enjoy this experience! No more crappy shite, eh?

OH! That explains it! But (knock on wood) let's hope that doesn't come to "fruition". (bad pun, I know).

Heh. Don't think I don't have a similar fear. Giants Stadium is that last US date; I'm considering sacrificing a virgin or something just to guarantee they'll make it til then.

Hi Dietmar!
I have to thank you for sending me the boot of aug 31 82 in vancouver. It
was my first of two police shows, and I will be at both the upcoming Vancouver shows.
It would be great to say hi.

Waiting for may......
