The Police still rock

Yes they do! I just got back from their first sold out concert in Toronto in over 25 years, and wow, was it ever good! I was quite impressed at how well the boys played, and even got along. I sang and danced for the whole show, which was quite long for a show these days, coming in at one hour and 45 minutes. Note bad at all. They played all the usual suspects, except for Synchronicity (Edit: silly me, they DID play Synchronicity II, however I was just too excited I didn’t even remember they did. :-) My bad.) , and even tossed in a few oldies as well. I was pleased to hear them open the show with Message in a Bottle, as that’s my favourite Police song.

We were sitting behind the stage, which was actually pretty good. We were pretty close to the boys, had great views of Sting’s butt, and laughed our heads off as Stewart tossed broken drum sticks at us. Plus we were right up against the wall of some of the private boxes, so we got to stand and dance for the whole show without worrying about bothering anyone behind us.

There were quite a few parents there with their teenagers, which was quite amusing to see. The crowd seemed to be fairly young though, like in the mid to late 20′s, surprisingly. I didn’t seem to notice as many old fogies like I have at other shows. In fact, I think I noticed more older people at Sting’s solo shows than I did tonight at the Police show.

No worries though, as the show was rockin’, and me & the girls danced and sang the night away.

If you have a chance to go see them, I highly recommend it!!

I must concurn. They kicked some serious ass. I also loved watching the interactions with the three on stage. I just have to remember that I can NOT afford to go see them again when they come back in November.
