As I read everyone's reviews and opinions of these
shows, I'm really curious to know what they feel the difference is between
The Police 'then' and The Police 'now', other than it's now a Sting
show. I did not see them live back in the 80's, but of course have seen
the VHS tapes. From my viewpoint it seems as though the one big difference
is the energy -- back in the 80's it felt as though they were crazy with the
popularity -- way more jumping and yelling and definitely some
grandstanding. Personally I think the quality of music has grown with
all three of them! And they have no need to stay famous, they are
famous. Also, wasn't it always a complaint back then within the band that
it was always a Sting show? All about Sting?? And Sting WAS all
about Sting back then.
They were not a group known for their harmonies,
like the Eagles, but a group known for their musical talent. I did not go
to this concert expecting great three-part harmony! That was never there
to begin with. I knew all harmonies on albums were mostly Sting's voice.
I was, however, expecting to hear and see killer drumming, guitar playing
and Sting's amazing voice, which he has kept in fine shape. And, of
course, to hear the songs they play. And that's what I heard and saw, and
thought they were better now than they were in the 80's.
Again, I was at the Denver show last Sunday night
and did not feel as though the show dragged at all. There seems to be a
lot of complaints about "Sting's jazzier feel to the songs" but maybe someone
hasn't done their homework! Didn't both Sting and Andy have all their
roots in jazz?
Ah well. Just a thought, and just wondering
what expectations are about these concerts. I, for one, thought the show
was great, and can't wait to see the next one here in Michigan.
ttfn!
