TR: The Police in Seattle + mspaint
Amazing. Simply Amazing. I was hoping for a high energy show, and that's what they delivered, perfectly.
Sting was in his element; Andy was absolutely spot on; and watching Stewart made me want to go by a kit right now, amazing drummer. They played Murder By Numbers, Andy donned the Telecaster for this one. Then on the next song he changed back, with Stewart saying "Why don't you play the telecaster Andy?" Very few flubs, the band was very tight tonight. I don't think Stewart will have anything to complain about this time. I could see a few empty seats, one section in particular of about 30 seats was empty, perhaps reserved for the staff? We couldn't figure it out at all. Two rows of empty seats. Weird. Stewart played the drums and also a huge bank of percussion instruments behind him, including Timpani drums. Andy's guitar had beautiful tone. From up where we were sitting, in the cheap seats, there was quite a bit of distortion at times, but his tone was unmistakeable. Sting had amazing energy, and he looked like he was having a great time. His bass playing was incredible. I only wish the show could have been a little longer. Here's the set list for those that are interested: Message in a Bottle Synchronicity II Spirits in the Material World Voices Inside My Head Don't Stand So Close to Me Driven to Tears Walking on the Moon Truth Hits Everybody Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic Wrapped Around Your Finger The Bed's Too Big Without You Murder by Numbers De Do Do Do De Da Da Da Invisible Sun Walking in Your Footsteps Can't Stand Losing You Roxanne First encore: King of Pain So Lonely Second encore: Every Breath You Take Next to You And aforementioned MSPaint: |

Great report. I'm woefully ignorant re: Police. I will rectify that.

The idiots on local radio were trying to tell me that tickets for the [censored] seats were 200 a pop. Confirm/Deny?

Thanks for the report.
I'm seeing them June 30 in New Orleans and am already REALLY pumped up for this. Those disappointed in the omission of a song or two: I would think their set might vary by a song or two from show to show, right? |

Others like to keep it consistent. What we need to know is what they played when they rehearsed in Vancouver to speculate about this. EDIT -- Vancouver show set list: Message In A Bottle Synchronicity II Don't Stand So Close To Me Voices Inside My Head' When the World Is Running Down Spirits In The Material World Driven To Tears Walking On The Moon Truth Hits Everybody Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic Wrapped Around Your Finger The Bed's Too Big Without You Murder By Numbers De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da Invisible Sun Walking In Your Footsteps Can't Stand Losing You Roxanne King Of Pain So Lonely Every Breath You Take Next To You |
