MY REVIEW & NOTES
I got a chance to see the Police during their "Ghost In The Machine" tour
as well as their "Synchronicity" tour (not to mention the multitudes of Sting concerts),
so I was expecting them to change the arrangements to their songs
but this tour's song arrangements were dramatically different.
Especially Andy's guitar sound and solo. Much heavier than what you would
expect from Mr Summers.
The band had a lot of energy (as usual) and the sold out Tokyo Dome audience
was pretty responsive, even given the higher average age.
The total set lasted just shy of two hours but filled with 18 well selected songs.
"Walking In Your Footsteps" was an addition to the set list
and not performed at the Osaka performance just three days prior.
If you are expecting them to perform just like their album, don't.
But if you want a semi chaotic version (of course controlled) then you will be in for a treat.
Now if only they would release some new material.
Pictures coming soon ... maybe even some video.
PS: It was a bit funny when Sting forgot some of the words to "King of Pain"
... but I may have been the only one to notice.
