What a great show. I was shocked at how much I enjoyed it. Stewart was facking kicking it all night, the Andy showcases were spectacular and Stings voice was surprisingly strong. I may try and get tickets to see them in Toronto in November if the current trend of cheap finds continues.
All the crowd pleasing tunes/moments were my least favorite. Like Phishtaper said in the TO thread, its all about the dark side of the Police. Wrapped Around Your Finger elicited a great emotional response from me and I had never really cared for that song. Great version.
Fantastic stage, energized crowd and a night full of wonderful songs that I loved as a kid. Immediately prior to them taking the stage, the house lights came down and Bob Marley's Get Up Stand Up came blasting through the PA, which got everyone out of their seats. I had been a touch worried this might be a sitdown affair but the band did it right and made me think Ottawa's Bluesfest should try something similar before each artist's set.
