How about the shows....
by David Lucky 05 Aug '10

Does anyone know of some live recordings of any recent Sting shows. I really enjoyed a show I saw at The Met in NYC....his voice sounds absolutely amazing in more than just my opinion...the set list is intriguing...his storytelling between songs were fun....all in all these are really great shows and I did not know what to think heading in....

Hello darling, Good hearing from you! Let's hope set list doesn't get too short by the time we get Our Man to Europe! Especially since he talks so much during the gig! :) xx Panda >

I saw the concert in Wolfsburg,Germany, and even if it was much shorter then USA shows,it was great and to be honest it didn t looked an orchestral music,....it was Sting music and he was dancing and clapping and calling people to sing with him.... I think it takes the best he can in a live concert, but also when the cd starts with "next to you".....JESUS!!! I like it! ciao and see you somewhere... ----- Original Message ----- From: Agrita Panda To: police(a)mailman.xmission.com Sent: Saturday, July 24, 2010 8:15 AM Subject: Re: [Police] Symphonicities...& Steven Mercurio Hello Bruce, hello the rest of the gang, I keep telling everybody how I have problem with Sting and orchestra together. I mean, I love orchestral music and for sure, I love Sting, but I still struggle to get the vibes of them both in one if you know what I mean. And I’m wondering how much Sting is paying you to spread the word of this tour being so great and everything? Nice joke, huh? But you know what! Your reviews are so contagious. Not to mention the set list which I should admit is just inspirational!!! It surely helps to appreciate my 2 tickets for Sting gigs in Baltic countries in September. On the side note, I'm still surprised that the energetic presence of Steven Mercurio seems to get less publicity then I would have expected! You just can’t miss the guy! He is like Gulliver in the land of Lilliput! His seems to have the right manner of conducting for showbiz. I mean it shows talant but also is very attractive! Not perhaps what I would normally expect from orchestra conductor! Thus I believe his input in overall ambience of the gig must be quite strong. Is he indeed stealing some parts of the show? Did you like him/ couldn't care less etc... Anyone who’ve seen the gig willing to comment here? Hugs and kisses, Panda Today's Topics: 1. Re: Symphonicities...

Just came home from the Toronto show that finished an hour ago. Wow. Wow!!!! WOW!!!!!! Truly incredible. I am at a loss for words? I don?t remember seeing Sting so relaxed and having so much fun. I can?t believe how much he talked between songs?and the music ? my God it was amazing. Straight to My Heart, Moon Over Bourbon Street, End of the Game, Why Should I Cry for You? were all highlights for me...and King of Pain too ? possibly the best song of the night!!!! I never thought I would say that! I just can?t believe how well those songs worked with the symphonic arrangement. I am regretting my decision to be fiscally prudent, and for once, only going to one show. I also made the decision to go to just one show based on my initial feelings that this album was a bad idea and was just another thing Sting was doing because he has no new material at the moment. Well, I must say, I ?mis-underestimated? (hasn?t someone said that before?) Mr. Sting. If you are someone who decided to give this tour a pass?and I totally understand why you made that decision, because I was very close to doing the same thing?I highly recommend reconsidering. It was a fabulous night. If you like Sting?s music, you won?t be disappointed. Still on a high, Bruce ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Police mailing list Police(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/police

Thought I'd share my write-up of this event...last Saturday Jeff did a really cool presentation on his career, working with Stewart, and showed off some of Stewart's tricks on a Tama prototype kit just like the one Stewart had played for the Grammys in '07. Enjoy! http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/5599762/tama_day_featuring_jeff_se… -sockii

I'm sure there are various ways to get all the songs, but the way I did it was to pick up the regular CD at Costco for $9.99 and buy 2 extra songs at Itunes and Amazon (Why Should I Cry and Whenever I Hear Your Name). Those were .99 each. So a quick burn gave me what I need on one CD and on my Ipod for $11.97. I think there is one more song floating around out there. Bill In a message dated 7/21/2010 5:52:22 P.M.

Really, I just want to listen to it and see if I like it first, but that involves breaking my "no piracy of the Police unless it's bootlegged" policy.
