[Jim T.]

It would be awesome if this turned into the first live webcast of a band's screaming breakup.

[JoeE]

Ohman....please be Mac friendly...

[NickBurgess]

listening right now... hoping for creative differences within the first 5 minutes

[greg donovan]

Sending out an S.O.S.!

god this is awesome.

[Gregory]

Here's how tragic I am: They're playing "Message in a Bottle," and I remembering my Guitar Hero notes.

[Gregory]

Oh, and the tour's official now.

[Hock]

I saw them the other week when I was out for dinner. They've been up here for a while, I think if there were creative differences they would've come up earlier.

[JoeE]

This is fucking tight.

[Foolish Mortal]

That's some awesome shit! :D

[NickBurgess]

nice setlist so far, but sting seems like he can't really handle all the old vocals anymore

[Bill Nolan]

When did the guitarist have his stroke...?

- B

[greg donovan]

This is fucking tight.

yeah, this is clearly not the first time they have played together in the last few weeks.

[Albert]

Yeah. You could tell he was having trouble hitting the high notes last night. :(

[NickBurgess]

Yeah. You could tell he was having trouble hitting the high notes last night. :(

yeah, i really noticed on the "when the world is running down..." chorus

[JoeE]

Avg ticket price - less than $100...

[greg donovan]

what a huge tour.

and the tickets will average 100 and range from 51-250. that isnt too bad.

[Hock]

First Concert in Vancouver :rock:

Too bad I probably won't be able to afford.

[Los]

Damn. The tickets are going to be pricey.

[JoeE]

"No thanks, I'm not a frequent enough customer to join the Rewards Club"

FUCK!

[Bill Nolan]

I shut it off now that it's just a music-free infomercial for the tour and Best Buy...

- B

[greg donovan]

holy crap!

best Buy rewardzone members get early access to tickets.

[NickBurgess]

This is the rockingest Best Buy ad I have ever heard

[NickBurgess]

holy crap!

best Buy rewardzone members get early access to tickets.

I got an email about it this morning. I have my little code... who knows what good it will do.

[greg donovan]

This is the rockingest Best Buy ad I have ever heard

if they help bring the poilce bact on tour they can talk about BB all they fucking want.

[Gregory]

I look forward to the Best Buy-exclusive DVD and CD reissues.

[greg donovan]

apparently they are going to rape and pillage across the earth and we are supposed to hide our women.

prepare to bow bow to your new overlords.

[Gregory]

There won't be additional performers on the tour. Just the three guys onstage.

For now.

[greg donovan]

For now.

and only police songs.

[Gregory]

and only police songs.

I can't believe they won't do any Sting solo songs on tour. Especially with him holding such apparent control over the proceedings.

[greg donovan]

yeah, i really noticed on the "when the world is running down..." chorus

he sounds pretty good now.

[adamgreenberger]

Damn...I can't get it to work

[Gregory]

If it's just the three guys, who's gonna play piano for "Every Breath You Take?"

[adamgreenberger]

Diddy

[tdaniel]

thank you so much for posting this!

[Dr. Blasphemy]

That was AWESOME...I love those guys..
I didnt see a Cleveland date though (I may have missed it)
They BETTER come to the "Rock and Roll Captial"....ugh.

They are playing Columbus, and it said on Sting's site that there are more dates coming...these are the initial dates.

I just hope they end up coming to the Carolinas

[Tim Simmons]

Well, that was pretty cool- a little rough around the edges performance wise, but it was awesome hearing the banter between the three of them...

Curious to see if they'll be doing a few "Jammed out" versions of songs-
Also, one of the complaints I've heard is how they'll lose the youthful energy of the early songs- but, Can't Stand Losing You sounded pretty great if you ask me.

Finally, FYI:

They have to be at Charlotte. Atlanta, at the furthest.

[adamgreenberger]

They should come to Greensboro...arena is bigger than both Charlotte and Atlanta

[adamgreenberger]

So who was able to get tickets during the pre-sale?

[kpa]

Manged to get one single seat from each pre-sale (BB and fan club) at MSG. One is in the back on the floor, the other on the side, pretty close to the stage. I'm psyched. I've been waiting 20+ yrs for this.
