Worth Every Penny
Posted By Ardellis on July 29, 2007
Andy and I paid an exorbitant price this past spring for tickets to last night’s Police concert at Fenway Park. At least, I thought so at the time. Now? Not so much.
I mean, yeah, the tickets weren’t cheap. I wouldn’t pay that kind of money to see the Rolling Stones or the Who. Though I might consider it if someone could get Ringo and Sir Paul on a stage together.
But oh my freaking Gods, the Police. Best. Show. Ever.
All three of them have still got it. Andy laid down a couple of guitar solos that just melted my mind. Stewart was all over the damned stage during Wrapped Around Your Finger, running back and forth between the drum kit and the xylophone like a man half his age. And Sting? Well, Sting was Sting. The crowd was on their feet through the whole damned thing.
They played for almost 2 hours, leaving the stage only once for just a couple of minutes. They played Synchronicity II and Roxanne and Every Breath You Take and Don’t Stand So Close to Me and Walking in Your Footsteps and just about every other big hit they ever had. Including Invisible Sun, which still feels relevant as hell more than 25 years after it was written.
Totally worth every freaking penny.
Excuse me while I fire up Yahoo! Music and play all their albums now.
