    So my first music obsession was The Police. When I heard "Don't Stand So Close To Me" I went out and bought (or copied) everything else they'd done. I listened to The Police non-stop for years and, since they'd just broken up, swore up and down that I'd give any number of semi-vital body parts to see those three play together live.

    So when they announced the tour I almost peed my pants! And I was on the computer at 9:59 the morning of the pre-sale. Got super expensive, pretty good tix for me and hubby. When they came on stage I almost couldn't belive what was happening. I was seeing THE POLICE - after waiting 23 years!!!!!! The show was really cool but I missed the hyper-fast and somewhat angry energy that i'd heard and seen on bootlegs and other live footage.

    But as soon as I came back from the show, I knew I had to go again, so I got tix for Dodger Stadium (missed the Foo Fighters, that's a WHOLE other story that still gets me angry to this day). The 2nd time around I was able to just enjoy it for what it was and not "miss" anything or feel like anything was lacking. Again I had paid through the nose for great seats and I was screaming and dancing like a 13-year-old the entire night!! I still listen to the bootleg almost once a week (it's been almost a year).

    So when my friend asked if I wanted to sit with them on the lawn next month on the third (?) leg of the tour, I thought what the hell. This is never ever going to happen again. And for $40 I'll take that.

    So the day my summer break starts I'm going to sit on the lawn, have a few margaritas and see the band that made me love music.

    That's my story, sorry it was so long...


    What an amazing story! to see them once was unbeliveable but for you to experience it three times i am lost for words
    Being from a younger generation i don't quite understand your excitement to see them, i wasn't quite born when they first made a debut lol, but i share the same love for their music!! I like you, listen to the bootleg of the show i attended frequently, it bring back such awesome memories,
    just one question
    did the crowd get into it like u?

    1st time, not really at all. It made me kinda sad. In fact we were sitting a little further away (well I was standing!) and these people LEFT about 40minutes into it and gave us their seats in the 10th row!!!!! And there were people SITTING in the front row - WTF?!?!?!?!

    The 2nd time was a Dodger Stadium and yeah, most everyone I was near was into it, except this one girl in front of us was so F-ing wasted, she kept falling all over herself and everyone around her. Her friends finally took her out before she puked on me!
