The Police's Boston, Massachusetts concert

Review by Doug Tomlinson.

Great concert. Sting's voice was amazing. Andy was on target and Stewart was fantastic. I brought my girls 12 and 15 - and both of them loved it. They also thought Sting was hot. The acoustics in the Boston Garden (i.e. TD BankNorth Center) are mediocre. To much sound bounce, but the bands mixer did a great job handling the sound. The camera crew did a real nice job as well. I love Andy's guitars and he showed he knows how to play in a large stadium without mucking up the sound like other guitarist. FIction Plane was Good. It would have been nice to see them up on the big screen as well. The kid is a chip off the old block. Highly recommended. Tickets were expensive as hell - it cost me $900 for 4. So you are more likely to see the older folks out having a nice time vs the younger kids who probably can't afford it.. 2 encore's. Wish they did Roxsanne but now that I think of it-it probably wouldn't sound that good without backup singers. Good time had by all.

Of course off to my left about seven rows down there was the one drunk/stoned cracked out jerk you find at every concert who has to stand the entire time flailing his hands, dancing and singing as loud as he possible can - so those directly beside and behind him couldn't see or hear anything. I almost threw my water bottle at him. If you can afford to - and you get a chance to see the concert GO. If you get a jerk in front of you - knock him out quick - so you can enjoy the show.
