Sting!




On July 19th, I was stung not by a bee but by The Police and Sting of course. What an Awesome event!!!! I went to the concert with MY lovely wife Jessica and our friends the Gibbons, When Roxanne was sung of course Roxanne went nuts, Sting did an awesome job on that song. Other greats were Wrapped around your finger, don't stand so close to me and king of Pain! All were awesome, I stood most of the time and was hoarse when I got back to the hotel.

Sting did awesome on all of the songs. I of course liked Message in a bottle which opened the show and Every Breathe you Take was unbelievable to me. Sting has got some lungs on him and can really belt it out, he also is very creative in the way he will sing a song. He was a true artist, and he was very brillant, amazing, awesome, wonderful. I'm running out of adjectives. The drummer (Stewart Copeland) almost stole the show, he was amazing. He had nearly a dozen different percussion instruments besides his drums that he was clanking and plunking the whole time. He even had a huge gong. Stewart was running and pounding those drums with such force but it sounded so awesome. The guitarist (Andy Summers) was also incredible. He played with little effort and to stay with Sting as he added his little rifts and changes to the songs he did an excellent job.

The Hotel we stayed at was a disaster, never stay at an extended stay hotel! "holy s***" I should of stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. The king Bed was nice because I didn't fight with Jessica about the room on the bed. Dinner was wendy's, it could have been worse!! but, breakfast was okay, I have had my yearly visit to I-hop. WOW! Anyway I am home and I am still rocking out in my mind with Sting and the Boys. I am glad I went.
