"Roxanne!"

[dancingme]

Police sound great!

[bbinacan]

1. That was cool. n/t

[Vexatious Ape]

2. They did. Just as good as they sounded when I saw them

back in the 80's.

[jefferson_dem]

3. wow. they sounded great. sting, andy, and stewart...together again!

:applause:

[AlCzervik]

4. thanks for the spoiler.

some of us do live in different time zones ya know.

[dancingme]

5. sorry but now you know they didn't suck

it will be worth waiting for

[jefferson_dem]

6. come now. you're really not surprised are you? should've been obvious from the promo anyway.

[durrrty libby]

13. Hah Then.... how foolish to open the thread

[AlCzervik]

14. it's the title of the thread. How foolish of me to have eyes and the ability to read.

i guess that'll learn me.

[durrrty libby]

16. "i guess that'll learn me."

I doubt it



:rofl:

[Hippo_Tron]

7. They didn't suck but it's obvious that they've gotten older

Most of the song was in a lower octave.

[jefferson_dem]

9. musicianship was dead on though. they always were a skilled trio, ya know.

[Mike Daniels]

11. Ehh. Another band reuniting for easy money

I'll be impressed if they actually ever get around releasing new music as a group.

[NashVegas]

17. They Don't Need the Money

Well, Stewart and Sting don't, at least.

Copeland has always been vocal about his desire to be in a band again, especially if that band is named the Police.

[dancingme]

10. Stewart Copeland is NOT dying his hair

unlike Sting, he let the grey show - like Joan Baez.

[madrchsod]

8. they really sound great on---

vinyl-big lafayette receiver,and wharfdale 12inch 3 ways...that`s kick ass

[grytpype]

12. I just KNEW they were going to do Roxanne...

their most overplayed song... still it was great!

[blogslut]

15. I wanted more

One song? No fair.

[applegrove]

18. I knew it would be Roxanne. What happened there in the middle though?

[blogslut]

19. Jazz interlude?

It did seem like a bit of an "oops. let's wing it" moment.

[applegrove]

20. I just love the old version. Glad they finished off that way.

[WinkyDink]

21. I thought 2/3 of them did great, and I don't mean Sting. The main audience seemed underwhelmed.

Sting was GOOD, mind you, but I got tired of the repeated last line.

[blogslut]

22. It was nice to see Stuart and Andy

I've seen them live three times and what always amazed me is how so much sound could come out of just three guys.

[WinkyDink]

23. I hope I can afford one good ticket to their (rumored) Summer tour!

[dancingme]

24. main audience is too young to appreciate them

Most of the hip hop people in the front rows of the Grammys are in their early 20's. They seemed bored. I'm glad host Jamie Foxx was thrilled to see the Police perform.

[QMPMom]

25. Oh come on! It was announced beforehand that they would open

with Roxanne! I heard it very early this afternoon. Stop whining. It's only a damn TV show.

Edited to add: This is for those yapping about "Spoilers", not the OP.

Copeland's Tama drums and Paiste cymbals sounded exquisite!
