The Police Live

I saw them in Sept (I think) in L.A. last year at Dodger Stadium. The sound was terrible. It was like listening
to an extremely loud AM clock radio. That was just embarrassing. When they hit their first note, I noticed a bunch of people looking at each other like "what the hell?"
It was that bad! My wife looked at me and said "you gotta be kidding me", thinking it was going to improve. It didn't. Really poor concert. And I've been to Dodger stadium for other concerts and those sounded fantastic, namely the stones. THe opening act, Foo Fighters, sounded
better. Really disappointing, and I am a fan.
what a waste of money.

Saw them at Jones Beach last night. The highlight was watching Stewart Copeland, playing the chimes and the drums on Wrapped Around your Finger. The sound was very crisp though I felt some of the pacing on a couple of songs was slowed down and dissappointing. Glad to have had a chance to see them.

Great thread. I would have loved to have gone to the Jones Beach show- Elvis and the Police- what a bill! But my ears (even with earplugs) can no longer take those loud shows. I saw Springsteen a few weeks back - way too loud - the bass was overwhelming - at least on the floor where I was sitting.

I'll have to stick to seeing small acts in small venues - the recent Rickie Lee Jones show I saw here in NY - I didn't even need earplugs - that is a true rarity (and of course the show was amazing)
