tix help tonight! Hollywood bowl!
by CProvines1＠aol.com 28 Sep '04

28 Sep '04

Hi all - This will really only apply to those attending the show tonight, or anyone who knows the Hollywood Bowl... I have done something extremely stupid, and am now looking for any ideas of help. I have (2) tickets to the show tonight; however, they are not next to one another. When I purchased them, my "brilliant thought" was instead of getting (2) together in the nosebleed section, I would get (2) individual - great locations, but 3 rows and one section apart. The thought being they were BENCH SEATS, and my friend and I could just "sneak over to the other and squish in." I looked at the seating chart today, and they are INDIVIDUAL SEATS - not bench. Therefore, no one is going to let us squeeze in. Dumb, I know, but I was not thinking rationally in that moment between 10:00 and 10:05 am when they went onsale... Does anyone on the list know if H'wood Bowl Box Office can help me? (I can't reach them.) Second Idea: Is anyone on the list going by themself, and if so, do you have 1 ticket in section J1 ?!?! If yes, I will trade you one of my tickets (in better section #H) to be closer to my friend. Sigh. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks, -Christina

One Ticket for Newcastle Show Available
by James Norman 18 Sep '04

18 Sep '04

Hello everyone, I have one fourth row ticket for the posponed show in November. The seat is "Row D, Seat 23." I flew up in May from Cairo (where I live) to find out it was cancelled, and I can't afford to make the trip again. I am asking $100 USD, payable in an international money order. I will ship the ticket via DHL for no extra cost. Please email if interested. For those going to the show, have a great time! James norm0071(a)umn.edu

RE: [stingus] Tour by '80s icons Sting, Lennox 'a very nice idea'
by Panda 17 Sep '04

Sounds lovely! Please clarify if you know if Sting and Annie Lenox will continue this tour in Europe too or as soon as Sting is back here, there will be him only? Cheers, Panda p.s. I would like to thank everybody who got back to me regarding Newcastle! It was really nice of you too share your ideas. Looks like you've enjoyed your encounter with this wonderful city. I hope I will too. As for the local people's accent, I still don't understand what Paul Carter says (and he even isn't from Newcastle) so I take it's not a good sign but I will survive. :) And Paul, Sweetie, if you read this, you should know better then that that I'm not having fun on your expense. On the contrary, that's the sign of my eternal love to you! :) :) :) -----Original Message----- From: StingUs [mailto:frotri@panafonet.gr] Sent: Friday, September 17, 2004 3:01 AM To: stingus(a)yahoogroups.com Subject: [stingus] Tour by '80s icons Sting, Lennox 'a very nice idea' Tour by '80s icons Sting, Lennox 'a very nice idea' Web Posted: 09/16/2004 02:17 PM CDT Hector Saldaña San Antonio Express-News Sometimes deciding to go on tour can be as easy as a phone call. Just ask Annie Lennox when she got word from Sting. "I got a phone call, and he invited me to join him on tour," Lennox told CNN this month. "And I said yes straight away." "I wasn't planning on going on tour with Sting. It was nothing that was on my agenda, because I'm a mother, and I take my kids to school in the morning. So you know, I wasn't planning to do that. But when I heard that, I thought, 'Yes, that's a very nice idea.'" Of course, it helps that the former Eurythmics star has a great album to promote, "Bare." The CD was released last October to critical praise. It's her first studio solo effort in more than 11 years. That she agreed to tour is a rarity also. Sting and Lennox perform tonight at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. Longtime Sting guitarist Dominic Miller ("Shapes") opens. Showtime is 7 p.m. This Christmas, the lovely rock diva turns 50, a subject she addressed in the CNN interview. "I would like to think that perhaps I could inspire women of my own age that might feel that because - because our society concentrates on youth culture so much, that we don't have to think that we're washed out by the time we're in our 40s. And a lot of us do. Because everything is about beauty and youth," she said. "And I'm actually now coming to my prime with my singing and my performance, and I'm surprised, myself, at that. So I'm kind of inspired to carry on. And I hope that I inspire women in particular, you know, that it's not the end when you're 50." Sting, 52, who was last here in January at the Majestic Theater, is promoting his latest album "Sacred Love." He recently became a Billboard Century Award honoree. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame star isn't letting a few wrinkles slow him down, either. The two superstars perform separate sets but will come together for "We'll Be Together" off Sting's 1987 album, "Nothing Like the Sun." Lennox has called it "a nice little moment." "For me, it's creating one show out of what would normally be two shows," Sting told the Associated Press. "People know they are going to get quality. It's our stage, and I want people to go away thinking, 'That was the best show that I ever saw.'" Tonight's set will feature songs from their solo careers, as well as with the Police and the Eurythmics. The nostalgia factor will complement (read: kick up a notch) the '80s icons' penchant for smoother, New Age pop. The Police were already superstars when the Eurythmics scored with a song recorded on a simple eight-track deck. Lennox and then-husband Dave Stewart burst onto the pop scene in the early '80s with the synth-pop hit "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)." The iconoclastic, if MTV-friendly, duo scored with follow-ups such as "Here Comes the Rain" and "Would I Lie to You." She went solo in the early '90s (though she reunited with Stewart in 1999 for the Eurythmics album "Peace") and forged a new, more sophisticated pop sound, characterized by lush balladry. Her sense of bizarre high style never faded. Lennox received an Academy Award and Golden Globe this year for the song "Into the West," which was part of the "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" blockbuster. Ironically, she beat out Sting - a nominee for "You Will Be My Ain True Love" from "Cold Mountain." Cheers, StingUs-team www.stingus.net

A good laugh!
by Phil Carreon 16 Sep '04

Michelle, If you REALLY want something cool and get your kids feet tapping, get a hold of Stewart's first solo album. He was under the name Klark Kent and there are some classic songs on it. My 13 year old sings out loud to songs like 'Away from home', 'Rich in a ditch' and 'Office girls'. These songs are very funny and the cool thing about it, is that Stewart played ALL the instruments And sang. Granted he doesn't have the voice of Sting, but he is an incredible artist. Copeland's body of movie soundtracks is nothing short of amazing too. My 8 year old son loves 'The Leopard Son' soundtrack, with all the animal sounds and African landscape. Anywhooo, that's just my 2 cents! Later, -Phil

The Police DVD
by mr beat 16 Sep '04

16 Sep '04

What's the latest on this? I remember reading about it here a few months ago - and now nothing... It's getting near to Christmas and everyone else is revamping their CD's - The Clash 25th Anniversary London Calling CD / DVD for example looks fantastic and I for one will certainly be buying on day of release. I know everyone says Sting will never allow it... but it's about time The Police doing the same - rare unreleased tracks from the home studios with live DVD concert footage? Anyone have any ideas on anything police in the pipeline? Also why can't the fans create a POLICE MP3 site like the CLASH fan's If Only Music COuld talk? ___________________________________________________________ALL-NEW Yahoo!
