The Police Kick Off The Reunion In Canada
Thanks to the band's 30th anniversary and Sting's bountiful yogic exercises (yoga kills the ego, ya know), the Police have set aside their personality clashes and embarked on their first tour since '83, starting with a 21-song fan-club/friends-only "dress rehearsal" for 4,000 or so in Vancouver Sunday night. As Andy promised, the setlist is full of vintage hits with no new tunes to dampen the reunion mood, with "Murder By Numbers" and "Next To You" perhaps the most left-field choices. Here's the best vid we could find on the night, Synchronicity's "Walking In Your Footsteps."
Tough to argue with this setlist.

Caught the show last night in Seattle and it wasn't the setlist that was hot, it was what they did to the songs! Some purists may not like it but I thought it was kicking. I posted a full review on my blog at http://isorski.blogspot.com/
