I caught the show here in Charlotte, NC, USA. It was the night after the cancellation in Philly, and it was awesome. Stewart is brilliant, with his sucked drumsticks and that inspired snare. Andy can play that stringed thing and the Sting-ster's voice will cut your face off. They were great and everybody was on their feet and singing the whole time. I am a drummer and was in high school in their heyday, Zenyatta my favorite stuff. I've waited all this time to see them and lucked into the tickets. Well, well worth it. Almost as fun as the Rush R30 tour. Right-on, Cliff. I caught the show here in Charlotte, NC, USA. It was the night after the cancellation in Philly, and it was awesome.

The Police were OK but certainly not brilliant as some of these people will have you believe The main problem with this concert though was the venue and the organisation Sitting at the lower rear stand the sound was not focused and the constant moving about of all the stewards and people using the pitch bar was offputting and extremely annoying. You got the impression that some band was playing at the far end end and that people were just moving around doing there own thing - i.e. not respecting the fact that a supergroup was playing a long awaited concert. Will have no interest in seeing this band again in the future and that is the last concert that I will attend at Twickenham Was also at the Police concert in Twickenham on Sunday.

Queen is the band that got away for me. They were my favourite band for many many years, and I never got to see them. I remember my parents going to a Queen concert when I was about 7 years old. I sat on the stairs and cried my eyes out as they left WITHOUT ME. I'm still hopeful that I'll see The Police one day. ED. Queen is the band that got away for me.

Queen is the best live act I think I've ever seen. And you're right, Stewart Copeland is one of the finest drummers there's ever been.

As I hadn't been to a concert since '86, (Queen at Knebworth), I thought it was high time it happened. We got their by car early, and were in for the 1st band, Fiction Plane. Their lead singer/bassist is Sting's son in case no-one knew. I have to say they were excellent, I would recommend any rock fan to see them if they can. Maximo Park were on 2nd, had heard of them, and they were great but I didn't enjoy them as much as Fiction Plane. Then, of course, the boys were on at about 8.15 for a good two hours. The show was fantastic, and I have to admit to watching Stewart Copeland for a long time of it, he was amazing, and of the three seemed to enjoy himself most!! Of course, as expected, the best two songs and those that EVERYBODY seemed to be waiting for were Roxanne and Every Step You Take, brilliant!!! A great day, and I felt privileged to have seen arguably one of the best 80's outfits there was. Went to the Sunday at Twickers with a mate, a great echo back to the 80’s it was too!!

Did you find the album at 8:31 pm by any chance? And I think it’s fitting that we should experience sychronicity over something connected to The Police.

Sounds like a great gig. I think it's only fitting that on Saturday I went through my dad's old vinyl collection and happened upon my copy of Klark Kent's green 10" vinyl album from 1980.
