The Police were scheduled to play the MTV new unplugged show and then they canceled with not enough time to rehearse the different arrangements etc but they had sounded like they would re-do it later in the tour but I have heard anything since. Anyone else? David L

Has plans for the acoustic album also been shelved? Also, is there any truth to the rumours about them doing the theme song for the new James Bond film? thanks Colin ________________________________ From: police-bounces(a)mailman.xmission.com on behalf of police-request(a)mailman.xmission.com Sent: Wed 1/30/2008 4:53 PM To: police(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: Police Digest, Vol 58, Issue 6 No new records.

Had a Police Dream
by David 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

I know, I know, I should be posting in the Police forum. This is home, though, and I'll waste too much time perusing stuff over there. So, I had a Police dream last night. I dreamt that The Police played, but that I missed the opening act, who was actually Sting by himself. I got to meet Andy briefly, but they were on their way out of the place and we didn't get to talk long. Anyway, that's my made-up experience with The Police. I don't have to actually do it (like Ross "2nd Gig" Viner :-) ) I can make it all up and feel cool in the morning. Any other Police dreams lately, anybody? David

Re: [Police] June shows inc. Belfast
by Angeline Adams 30 Jan '08

I've got mixed feelings about the stories in the local press (the Sunday Life) which suggest they'll play Belfast on Sunday, 22nd June, probably Ormeau Park. The reports seem credible (despite the story being from a tabloid - I've been hearing about the licences being granted for that outdoor event for some time), though it sounds like it's not an entirely done deal: http://www.sundaylife.co.uk/news/article3376845.ece What gets me is that this is the first time they've ever played Belfast and I spent a lot of money on train tickets, accommodation and sundry expenses so I could see them (for which I assumed would be the only opportunity) in Dublin in October. I imagine a lot of fans in Northern Ireland have similarly mixed feelings, though this at least makes it easier and cheaper for Scottish fans to come and see the band, compared to the slog of getting to London or Continental Europe. Of course I'm delighted if they're coming here; it's always been a dream and I didn't think it'd happen once I realised that we don't have a stadium on the scale that they've been playing (there are plans, with two suggested sites, but politics have made the whole thing a long-running farce). And when I made my monetary arrangements for Dublin, the tour was expected to end with the end of 2007 and nobody would've guessed they'd extend it like they did. As it is, there's no way I can afford to go. What I am hoping is that Fiction Plane will still be attached to the tour and will do one of their pub/club gigs in Belfast, as has happened in other cities - that wouldn't be outside the realms of financial possibility. Hmmm... Angeline

Sorry, not an unknown track by our heroes. Unless your hero is the tribute band "The Secret Police. These guys are in a tribute band to the Police, but this is an original track by them I quite liked it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oO0ibhk9op0 Hope you have a "Bad Day" ~r.
