    So this is what it was and what it is to be. Anyway kids, I had a good time. When I can't think of one bad song off any of the albums, I am allowed to bitch a little bit about the set list. These guys are the cream of the crop and they should be able to have picked up a couple of their own songs by now in the tour to throw a little surprise in for the fans. Granted the sound was good and you can see that Stone and Mike are really just Andy rolled into one. Man that guy is amazing. I'll agree with Sting when he said, "welcome to the Andy Summer's show", he wasn't kidding. Andy shredded the whole show and I don't know why he isn't in the top ten or five of any guitar ranking. He is what I wanted to see when I went and he did not disappoint. Yeah the other two guys (I forget their names ;)) did okay too. :) They changed some tunes up just enough to make them sound pretty damn good if we were not to get the originals. I stick by my previous post and they should have Canary and Peanuts worked in their by now. All in all, a solid selection from the years and the bitch who told us to sit down before the introduction to Sync II was finished didn't even last the entire show. BITCH! For the real fans out there, you will dig this show. " I don't want to be a statistic on a government chart". Good to hear that songs that had balls and back bone to them! And not too many Sting sing alongs to bore you to sleep.

    The show I saw was very, very, good. But I don't know why you would toss around this kind of money to see the exact show as before. As I have said before, these guys are too good to have a stagnant set for an entire year. With an ego like Stings you would think that he would want to show that he and the band can change it up and have some real fun on stage. Who knows if they are putting the needle to vinyl and then pulling a lip sync stylin'. ;)

    from what i have read and heard

    the police tore down fenway park and then built it right backup the other night, even with the same setlist as the show(s) before.

    i am totally getting psyched, have my message in the box on re- shuffle & replay ( all 4 discs but disc 2 is my personal favourite and i still hold out hope for " on any other day" or " contact " but i will relish in " the beds too big without you " & " voices inside my head " ) come friday night at MSG NYC - my first police show ever.

    POLICE FORCE WITH A TWIST
    By DAN AQUILANTE
    Sting (from left), Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers.August 1, 2007 -- THE question of how arresting the Police will be at tonight's important Madison Square Garden con cert depends on whether you want a show that digs deep into the back catalog or you're after the hits.

    For the last few shows of the U.S. leg of the band's 2007 reunion tour, the original trio (Sting, guitarist Andy Summers and drummer Stewart Copeland) has relied on the big chart-topping tunes. The 21-song set opens with the one-two punch of "Message in a Bottle" backed by "Synchronicity."

    In the tour program, Copeland says, "I think we've got a good mix now where the fans get the songs they remember, and most of it will sound the way they remembered it. Just when they are enjoying that, they'll get a new twist. I think all three of us are pretty happy with the balance there."

    Since most of the Police program is so well- known to even casual fans - let alone the die- hards, who bought tickets from brokers for up to $2,500 a seat - the "balance" and "twist" Cope land speaks about translate into adjustments of tempo and mood to create concert dynamics. That's why you'll hear the playful exuberance of "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da" next to slower introspective tunes like "Murder by Numbers."

    One of the early song slots in the program that's still in flux after 38 arena performances is song three in the set.

    This is where the Police have flip-flopped between the ethereal "Spirits in the Material World" and "Walking on the Moon."

    So far "Spir its" hasn't made the cut in the major cities including Bos ton, New Or leans, Chicago, Miami, Detroit and Philadelphia - so don't expect it here in New York. The Garden will probably be a "Moon" walk, but even fans of that song should watch out for the Police "twist." The tune has been slowed to emphasize and highlight the lyrics.

    "The songs have to evolve," says Sting in the program, defending the new renditions of his classics. "Twenty-odd years later we have to be better musicians than we were." dan.aquilante@nypost.com
