The Police Live

I think he was rating the tour performance, not the band. I assume this is just a continuation of their reunion tour - the people I know who saw them in St. Louis last year would agree that the show was hit and miss. I think even one of the band members suggested they sounded pretty bad. I would think that, by this point in the tour, they would have sharpened up quite a bit.

I saw them in New Orleans and the show was pretty darn good....... They are not ripping it up like the old days......... they admitted to doing the "nose candy" when they were on the road back then, I read that in Mojo........... I knew something was up because they would play the songs at a super fast tempo ( footage I've seen from old tours) and it was amazing, so much sound and energy from a three piece........ any way this time around, Sting played and sang beautifully and Andy was soloing a little too much for my taste, you could tell he was having fun though.......... and Stewart just doesn't have the energy he once had........ but what do you expect...... Any way hope you have fun, I did.

I suspect there is a new album in the making. That's what they hinted at during their first reunion tour last time. I was able to see them twice at Madison Square Garden, at the beginning and the end of their tour.

Both times tho, it was the Police and not Sting. Great show, I saw people from all walks - parents bringing their kids, multiple generations represented.

Their music is timeless really. If you know a few songs or know them all, good times were had by all.

The Message in a Bottle Box set is a must have for any Police fan. However, if you listen to the live tracks from the box set, you can hear that Police had some questionable live performances. Much of their studio work is incredible. And they remain one of my favorite bands ever. Some great groups have not gotten it done well in concert.

they sound just fine...if you're a fan even better.
