Anyone going to see the Police?

Saw the TV show they did a few months ago to "break in" the world toruing act. During patter in between songs Sting twice mentioned he was 44 years old ("Kinda hard for this 44 year old to remember the words to all the songs" was one of them). This would have made Sting, what, 14-15 when they released their first album in 1978? Thought he was a school teacher before the band?

Sting had a 40th birthday celebration that was released on Laserdisc tittled "Sting's 40th Birthday Celebration Live From The Hollywood Bowl" wich was released in 1992, so he was 40 most likely in 1991.

Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner, CBE born 2 October 1951

that would make him 55

Saw them last night at Wrigley field in Chicago. They were not the tightest live band, but I enjoyed the show. And it was fun to see a show at my favorite ball park.

If you want to see a very tight nostalgia act, go see the Stones. Say what you want about them, maybe they haven't made a good record in 20 years, but they can REALLY play together.

Maybe if the Police had been touring almost non-stop for the past 20 years, as the Stones have, they might be as good live. Probably not, though.

Andy Summers sounded fantastic last night. He is an excellent guitar player.

Saw the June 9 show in Denver, great experience. The band had synergy, as Sting was playing an old bass (really sweet sound) Stewart had 2 percussion rigs and Andy was outstanding!
