jff Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 They will play "Message in a Bottle" for sure. No doubt in my mind. Hopefully. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twisted Acres Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I'd love to hear them do "Can't Stand Losing You", but in the way they used to do live with "Regatta De Blanc" incorporated in the middle... but that's just wishful thinking. Maybe they'll do "Dash 7." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Heartbreak Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 My guess would be they'll play a medley of Roxanne, Every Breath You Take, and some shitty Sting solo song that the others will be forced to learn for the show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 my guess is sting still doesn't want stewart anywhere near the mic. i love that song btw. Me too - and I have a dream that they will play things like that on the tour - but just like The Who, they will just play the hits I am sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris_H_2 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 For those fans in Chicago hoping to see the Police this summer, they're scheduled to play Wrigley Field on July 7th and 8th. Expect an announcement soon. That is all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 February 07, 2007, 2:20 PM ET Ray Waddell, NashvilleAfter weeks of speculation, a press conference and "special announcement" featuring rehearsals by the Police is set for Monday (Feb. 12) at the Whisky A Go Go in West Hollywood, Calif., the day after the band will reunite for a show-opening performance at the Grammys. The 11 a.m. PT press conference and special announcement via live satellite broadcast is widely expected to be regarding a 30th anniversary world tour by the seminal rock trio. The press conference announcement was made by promoter Live Nation. Given that, it is a likely assumption that Arthur Fogel, chairman of global touring for the company, will oversee the tour under LN's TNA International banner. Fogel and TNA have a past history producing Sting's world tours, and last year presented international runs by U2 and Madonna. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JUDE Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Was anyone really expecting anything less than a stadium tour? I was kinda hoping for a small theater/ county fair bandstand type of deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied lightning Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I just hate stadium shows. Nothing they can do really, lots of people will want to see them, and a stadium is the only way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdmel Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I am pumped Dave Matthews wont be playing at Wrigley Field, as a lifelong Cubs fan I think that would further perpetuate a negative stereotype about us Cubs fans , if the Police came it would be... glorious.

Lammycat Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Nothing they can do really, lots of people will want to see them, and a stadium is the only way.I actually wonder if they'll be able to fill the stadiums. I'm sure they've done projections, etc. but is there a big enough market of folks willing to spend money on pricey tix (stadium protocol) to see a band that's notorius for being mediocre in concert, reunion or not, in cavernous venues? The target audience will be around 35-45 yr. olds, I'd imagine. I'm not so sure.... I realize bands like The Who and The Stones don't have problems filling stadiums with the same target audience, but they're The Who and The Stones.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I'm thinking I'll probably go see them if I can get good enough tickets ... and I HATE stadium shows. So yes, I think they'll probably fill stadiums. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I just hate stadium shows. Nothing they can do really, lots of people will want to see them, and a stadium is the only way. The only stadium show I've ever been to was Paul McCartney. It was in the Georgia Dome. Actually, now that I think of it I saw the Stones there, too. We had decent seats for Paul, so it was fine, but we were so far away from the Stones (despite buying the second most expensive seats) that there was a significant time delay between Charlie Watts hitting his snare drum and us hearing it. I figure the Police are going to play the biggest venues possible since they are very unlikely to tour again. Andy Summers will be 65 this year, so he probably isn't going to be interested in the whirlwind mega-tour after this one. Edit: Damn, I saw Pink Floyd in a stadium, too. That was in Clemson, SC. I had forgoten all about that. That was one of the least fun concert experiences I've ever had. What a boring town. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncle wilco Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 The target audience will be around 35-45 yr. olds, I'd imagine. I'm not so sure.... umm...yeah, that would be me. they shouldn't have any problem with a well-planned stadium tour. once the intial dates are announced, it would gain momentum, dates added and i'm sure would be the top money making tour of 2007/08. they are at best inconsistent live, but when they are on...they are on. i'm very much looking forward to it.

mountain bed Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I've never seen a stadium show, and I don't think The Reunited Police will change that.Stadium shows BLOW. The only thing I might be willing to see in a stadium would be a reunited Floyd, and I'd probably have to take out a second mortgage on the house to come up with the $$$ for that.
