The review,
Sorry for the late review:
I was at the Dublin gig in Croke Park,
Ireland and yes it was outdoors with 80,000+ fans.
The sound was just awesome.
I saw Sting and 2 old guys sing and play some Police
songs.
That's it, really!
To say that I was disappointed was an
understatement.
I was standing in the "Gold Circle" area, which was
right in front of the stage and could almost touch them.
Fiction Plane came out and blasted our ear drums off.
Brilliant sound and great energy. Fronted by a young Sting with
hair.
The Police came out to a huge, and I mean huge
reception, the place just went bananas.
Usual set list.
Sting was skinny in his black
leotard.
Andy came out on his walker.
Stewart came out and didn't even look at the
crowd.
They played a few songs and Sting did his usual
walking from side of one stage to another mumbling some shit to
himself.
A few songs in, Sting spoke to the crowd just before
they played DSSCTM about when he wrote it when he was living in
Ireland.
That was the only thing said by any of the of 3 them
for the whole concert!!
No joking about, no interplay. Nothing. This is what
disappointed the most.
Andy looked like he was about to have a stroke, the
whole way through the gig but was brilliant anyway
Stewart just blew me away. His facial expressions are
just comical. He was flawless that night.
Sting was Sting.
To me, it was a Sting concert with the 2 others from
The Police. Another disappointment.
The best song by far on the night, for me, was their
version of Wrapped Around Your Finger.
This belonged to Stewart.
I dunno, maybe it was just me - I had been expecting
so much more.
As a life long Police and mainly a Sting fan .... the
concert was good. Not excellent as I thought it was going to
me.
Don't kill me for this .... I went to George
Michael's concert in August in Dublin, and it was UNBELIEVABLE and was THE
best concert this year BY FAR!
