Ah ... didn't realize he did Austin during that tour. I had moved away from 98-2002 and was in seventh heaven having so many shows in the Northeast w/in 3-4 hours driving distance! Didn't even think to look at coming back to visit friends in Austin (and see more shows)
For Sacred Love w/Chris opening... I didn't realize he skipped Houston. I know how far I can push my husband w/this childish need to see the show multiple times, and a third show was pushing the envelope. Presumed since I wasn't there, there was no show!
Yes, what an interesting reception to "This War" in Dallas! I actually really enjoyed the Dallas show even though I didn't have stellar seats. The venue was gorgeous, and the sound was amazing. At first I was fuming when I got to my seat, but I did appreciate the whole lighting thing from further away. Of course I did find myself in the front row at the end when all the women were hopping up to swap spit w/Sting ... and no, I wasn't one of them even though a guy offered to hoist me up!
Hi, Christopher---Nice to have another cronie to beg for TX shows!

I know what you mean about the Houston/SA/Dallas triad
except that Sting definitely skipped the big H during
his "solo" Sacred Love tour (i.e. the one without
Annie Lennox). Only Dallas seems never to get
shortshrifted (I guess because a Dallas DJ played
Roxanne...?)
I definitely saw Sting in Austin at the Erwin Center
on the BND tour, but that's too bad if he hasn't
returned. I was really mad though to have to drive
all the way to Dallas to see him during SACRED LOVE
(maybe he was afraid to play "This War" here in
Houston...? I loved the mixed reactions of the Dallas
crowd to that tune.)
But anyway as to what you actually asked my job is in
"mandatory overtime" mode this month (how does that
work exactly I still don't understand) so its unlikely
I could have seen Botti even if I'd realized. Still,
I hope you make it so you can write us a review. I
think Botti is the best musician to wander into
Sting's circle since Branford. Seems like a nice guy,
too.
