  | Photos are the best yet! A dvd would be great! Guess extending the tour depends how long Sting
s musical runs for. |

 | I saw the second New York show last night. It was excellent. The set list seemed identical to me. Paul make a joke about Sting playing 'a hometown concert' and then started into his line about becoming an Adonis, but he caught himself and said, "Since I said this on Tuesday, I suppose it does not seem very spontaneous." He didn't quite seem to know what to say instead, so he paused, then stopped and the audience laughed politely. (I guess he was assuming there were a large number of repeats in the audience.)
Later in the show, he reacted to someone in the crowd; "Lou Reed? A cool guy. I miss him." Then he went on to start the next song. The Garden appeared filled to me, with seats filled to the rafters. An older crowd, mostly folks like me -- white, 55, grey hair or bald. (I am grey, my pal who went with me is bald.) My only complaint is that this venue is too large for the ballads to really work. During the quiet numbers there is a hum simply because of all the people. The program is well done and they had some nice merchandise that seemed to be selling quite well.
I enjoyed the show, although not knowing too many Sting songs, he sang 3 or 4 that meant nothing to me. Still, it was worth my 1600 mile trip here (3200 if you consider the return trip) from the beautiful Virgin Islands to the COLD New York City to see the concert. So that's my review. |

| You're all welcome. I tried to give some of the flavor of the show. It certainly appeared to be sold out to me, and keep in mind that this was the second NY show. Madison Square Garden has about 20,000 seats, but a large number were closed off behind the stage, so I would estimate about 16 or 17 thousand in the audience. |

  | Yeah, sitting there behind the stage is really very strange.
Did that in 1999. PaulBob was sold out to the last row.
But I was walking around and dancing at some entry door where no security was waiting (after the concert they came and said the want to throw me out...go for it ;-)
Anyway, that was 15 years ago now, and I remember that the good seats on the center floor also had cost 300$...so not much inflation in the last 15 years.
