I went to the Police concert last night…
… and they sure make a lot of noise for old guys. There were 82,000 thirty- and forty-somethings jammed into Croke Park last night and it was pretty cool. Andy Summers was a bit all over the place on some songs, (apparently Steward Copeland has been bitching about it on his website), but Sting and Stewart Copeland were studio perfect all night. They played all the hits, including a 15 minute long rendition of King of Pain so the fans went away happy.
The only bitches I have about the gig were:
- They brought along Sting’s son’s band as a support act, and to be honest, they should stick to the London pub circuit.
- People started leaving early to beat the traffic. For fuck’s sake, they missed the entire four song encore!!!
mmmmm I was at the concert too, have to say I thought Sting/Gordon cheated us a bit. Agree about the son, we stayed inside behind the glass at teh bar where we did not ahve to listen! perhaps if we were able to stand on the filed it would have been more vibey!
