The Police - Vancouver, BC - 2007-05-28

Opening night, The Police Tour...the setlist is relentless, just one hit after another. The band had a very high energy level, as you might guess...Playing to a full room of 18 - 20,000 people took them to a different level than the few thousand at dress rehearsal the night before.

Sting's voice is strong and Stewart's drumming is over the top...Here is a video EPK the tour issued containing rehearsal footage, clips from the show, fan reactions and interview segments with the band...Not much more to say today...need to head off to the airport shortly for the flight back to NYC...

So tonight was the dress rehearsal show, which The Police opened to members of their fan club...I am not going to post the setlist yet, it is too fun to spoil before tonight's tour opening show. The band looks and sounds great. There is a pretty extensive discussion about the show going on here, on the band's official site.

I was in the ninth row, just off the left hand side of the row, which put me in front of Sting. I had a great vantage point for the stage and sound...

Here are some shots from flickr, which I did not shoot but thought you might want to see...

There were, as you might imagine, tons of folks shooting cell phone video. I managed to quickly find a few on YouTube shot from Andy's side of the stage...
