A few weeks ago, my Uncle Dom asked me to be his designated driver for the Police concert. I jumped on the oppurtunity. He payed for my ticket and gas. saw them at Cruzan. from the lawn. thought the view was gonna suck. turned out great. They played all the classic songs.and then some.
i was waiting the whole time to hear “can’t stand losing you” and “reggatta de blanc (the EEYOOO EYAAAY EYAAAYYYO! song)” , my two favorites. They finally played them, one right into the other, for their last song of the first set. it was perfect.
the encore was typical, started with “Roxanne”. then “So Lonely”, another favorite of mine. that song, more than any other, has the highest notes in it, and would seem hard for Sting so sing (say it ten times fast), but he sang it another way that was almost better. He knows how to sing even at 60. YEAH. 60. i think……thats what all the oldies were saying.
They came back out again after and finished the night with “Next to you”, the first song on their debut album “Outlandos de Amor” . I thought that was kinda cool.
Being at a Police concert with ten or fifteen 30+ year olds made the night even more enjoyable.
hilarious.
Aunt Kristi? Hammered.
