Should I go ...?
by Mikkel Z. Herold 29 Nov '07

Okay, so The Police have just announced their second show in Denmark in June next year - the question is, should I go? I have a hard time making up my mind here. Ticket prices are high - again - and I have already seen them when they were here on September 1st. That was an amazing show, but it will probably be the same show over again in June. Also, the summer shows come after a three month break, so maybe they will not be up to full speed. Then again, this is probably one of the last chances to see the trio perform live, and they are my favourite group. They could, of course, do the unthinkable and make new music in the three month break and present that at the summer shows, in which case I should definitely go! What are your thoughts about the summer shows? Will they just be a plain wrap-up of the tour, or will we see something different? I'm hoping the latter, but logic dictates the former (the same logic that ruled out a Police reunion for 20 some years ...).

multiple concerts, etc...
by Anne Stephens 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hey guys! I really enjoyed reading Paula's comments. They expressed my feelings really well re: going to see your favorite band multiple times. The irony of this discussion (for me) is that one of my best friends told Kevin (my better half for those who have not met us) just yesterday that we were spending too much $$ going to concerts (behind my back I might add). She knows better than to tell me this ;-) It's so great to have a group of people who "get" why this is so worth it. So, in essence, this is a one-time opportunity for us. Do what you budget allows & follow your heart. I still cannot believe that I've even seen my favorite band once, let alone 3 times. When this is all done, we'll be left with beautiful memories. My thoughts for now & back to lurking, Anne Stephens Halifax, Nova Scotia (site of Police concert on the Commons 2008??) P.S. There is definitely hope for the next generation coming up. I was buying The Specials Greatest Hits last night. The clerk was just a baby (17ish) and was really impressed with my choice of purchase. I was like, "Oh yeah, one of our friends saw them live in the "80s at the Police picnic in TO" (lucky bugger that Jock Murray). The kids are allright ;-)
