Anyone going to see the Police?

Unclejeff, I too was living in Europe (London) when the Police broke onto the scene. Although my take is different than yours, as I believe they can easily play a large venue and do it extremely well. I've seen both the Police and Dave Mathews in large venues and I thought the Police smoked DMB. I suppose it's a matter of opinion.

If the Police come to Atlanta, I'll be there regardless of the price.

In the summer of '82 you couldn't swing a dead cat at a radio dial without hearing something off Syncronicity. There was a never a more over-hyped song than Ring Around Your Finger. Even though I was only 13 at the time, to this day I can't stand the Police.

I was in the Tickemaster system within 5 seconds of tix going on sale Monday for the Los Angeles Staples Center show. I had my " 2 best available" selection (at up to $260 face value) and password submitted within 30 seconds, only to have "no tickets match your search criteria" warning come up for the 19,000+ seat Staples Center.

To hell with Ticketmaster and any act that uses them. I'm done with live arena shows.

Come to think of it, I haven't played a Police record in over 15 years. I guess I'm not missing much.

BTW, I agree the Grammy performance was flat and uninspired (although local LA critics fawned all over it).

But, I'm not bitter...much.

Tvad;

First, keep posting; your comments are to be watched for.

Now, the same thing happened to me. I promised my wife that I would get her tickets to a local 'So, you think you can dance' production with several of the Network's most famous stars.

I got into Ticketmaster and 9:58, no too early.

At 9:59, no too early

10:00, YES tickets available! I submitted the same 'best available' and, while my really slow dial-up connection connection processed the order...all of the high-speed DSL folks got their tickets and I was SOL.

I got myself DSL early the next week.

Oh, I paid premium after-market for the tickets as I did promise my wife..........

ps.,,Really who does listen to the Police nowadaze?

Count me as one person who still listens to the Police. GITM is a timeless record that sounds as good today as it did 20+ years ago. I have the box set and listen to it frequently... disc #3 is one of the greatest collections of songs I've ever heard.

If you're not a fan why are you wasting time posting in this thread?
