the police

Continuing on with this musical theme, Alex and I decided that after Big Day Out, we still wanted more - so we went to The Police concert last night at Suncorp Stadium. So I headed up there after work, and I must say - I was not disappointed at all. It was the most I'd ever paid for a gig, but it was worth every cent. Since I had to drive up to Brisbane after work, we missed the first support act, but got there during the second support act - Fergie. Now, I don't know about you but this sounded like a really odd choice for a support act for a Police concert, especially considering the average age of the crowd... Anyway, I'm hardly a fan of hers but I must say she tried her heart out - she played rock covers and stuff like that which would be more appealing to that crowd.

Our seats were awesome. We were pretty much at the halfway line of the stadium, had a clear view of the stage and were pretty much in the middle. It was funny though, we had two seats right beside the aisle, and the seat directly opposite to us (about two metres away) cost $100 more. Sucks to be them.

Anyway, The Police totally blew me away. The sound was perfect, the lights and effects were amazing and the camera work on the screens (one on either side and three above the band) was top stuff. They had me singing, tapping, clapping and moving to every song. Not bad for three old guys. Stewart Copeland on the drums was incredible, I don't know how he can still do that. At the end of the set, they went off, came back for the encore and did three songs for the encore, and just when we thought it was over, Andy Summers stayed up there and eventually the other guys came back to do one final song. They've definitely still got it in 'em...
