Hell has frozen over: The Police have reunited after 24 (ish) years, and are going on tour. Now, will they be able to stay together long enough to make it to Dallas?
June 26, Dallas, TX, American Airlines Center. I’ll trample elderly people and small children in order to get tickets to this show. Outta my way!
The Police broke up before I was old enough go to any of their concerts. But my second concert was Sting’s Dream of the Blue Turtles tour in October of 1985. My friend Sarah’s older brother Shawn took us, and our moms came along as chaperones. I was mortified.
I have a theory as to why the Police are reuniting after an eternity of solo work. None of them can possibly need the cash, as they have all done very well for themselves since the 1980s, and I don’t think that they are back together for good or are working on any new Police material. I think that it might be because Sting has become a shining star on the easy-listening adult contemporary stations… and maybe he needs to prove to himself that he can still ROCK.
I hope he can.
I saw Nothing Like the Sun in 1988 — one of my first concerts — with Sarah, Shawn, and Peggy. I think Shawn brought a friend, too. We were way, WAY in the back at Reunion Arena, but still, what a great show! Sadly, they’re not coming to DC on the tour. Frown.
I was at Nothing Like The Sun too… I think also with Sarah and Shawn. And you!
Not coming to DC?? That sucks. You could always fly back to Dallas in June… a little early birthday present to yourself 🙂
ARG! I just tried to get tickets for the Boston show through a Best Buy presale. They sold out the presale tickets in less than 15 seconds! Maybe my luck will be better with the regular sale…
