The Police's Brisbane, Australia concert

January 22, 2008


Review by Andy B.

We looked forward to this for a long time, and I've seen Sting solo before and was very impressed. My wife and I are big fans of The Police, and I have performed in bands and watched many larger concerts over the years. We were very very dissapointed with the sound, it was one of the worst live mixes I have ever heard (seated at rear left of stadium, row 15). Fergie was so loud and so muddy, people were leaving. Things didnt get better until the last few songs of the Police set (Roxanne onward). There is no excuse for this, as they have some of the best gear in the world, and could make a fantastic show, the front of house engineer must have been at the bar. The potential for the show was huge, and they are great players with plenty of energy, the light show also was just amazing. Please dont think the performances were not good, it was all about the engineers. I hope others had a better night.
Andy
