For me, it was simply awesome. Man, they never sounded better -- It's like they never were apart.

I recorded it!  I could post a QT tomorrow... I did a short 8 gig stint as a system tech (grunt) during the synch tour. Freakin unreal. Sting would change up the set list on stage. Drove the LD crazy...

They must have managed to put egos aside, because that performance was inspired. Kudos to the sound guys as well.

Incredible, and the sound was amazing too. I was thinking about that after all the discussions of the super bowl sound this week (not a comment on the super bowl sound, it just made me think about it). They really rocked though- like they haven't missed a beat. I was only 9 when synchronicity was out, so what did I know then? That will be some tour! It is nice to see that they at least appear to have put together their differences a realize how good they are together.

I wanted at least a medley of 3 or 4 songs..... way too short, but great performance!

I'm a big fan. They were great and yeah, they really don't seem to age. What's with the prerecorded backing vocals? I was pretty surprised. I understand the other dudes can't really sing, but at least get the chicks who used to sing with them in concert, hey? I do hope to see the tour though! |

Definately. The best example of "live" music that I saw tonight. Great to see them on the same stage again after all these years. I can't wait to see them tour. Hope that goes thru. On a side note, how come the Grammy's made so much of Rascal Flats doing uninspired half-a$$ed cover band versions of Eagle songs and only let the Police play one short song? Whassup with that?  | |

The Police were the first group I really really really got into so I was really looking forward to their performance last night. They sounded great but I really wanted to hear at least one other tune. To this day I've never heard a drummer who can make a hi-hat sing like Stewart Copeland.

When it comes to pure energy and uniqueness, Stewart Copeland the baddest motherf&@#er on the planet. By far the hardest hitting drummer I have ever seen. I can tell it's him in about the first bar of any tune even on the impossible chance that I have never heard the tune before. It's funny, my other favorite drummers are also Sting drummers: Omar Hakim, Manu Katche. Vinnie K. is pretty good too! It is just sooo about time they got back together. I was convinced sting was never going to put out another decent CD again. Stewart puts back the gigantic balls back into stings music. Cameron |

The Police are musicians unlike so many bands today who are actors.

THANK YOU The funny part is, I sat down in front of the tv a few minutes late last night, thinking that the Police would be at the end of the show. I sat through 3.5 hours of advertising and sh*t only to find out they played at the beginning! Boy was I mad! I could've been reading a book or something! A |

I love Sting's first note on the bass! What a PHAT slide! And a FAT bass tone. A |
