Watched the show from the Omni in Ga circa 1983 last night. I was a big police fan prior to synchronicity. To confess i had a hard time listening because i could not believe what sting looked like. It was disturbing. Frosted, colored hair with black roots, blow dried to perfection, a multi colored cape thing with huge shoulders, feathers/streamers, open to the waist with no undershirt. I wasnt sure if it was a concert or a west village video (seinfeld: "not that there is anything wrong with it"). Geez i knew he was a windbag in the past 10 years but honestly i didnt realize until last night that he had become such a tool so early....
I wasnt so districted from the music since i saw a springsteen non e street band show in the meadowlands about 8-9 years ago. He had this slash/ guns and roses lead guitar wannabe making strange faces and running around like a 6 year old....
back to the show: as for the music, once i could get past the phil collins, sssssudio vision, i must say that copeland is one heck of a drummer. Unlike other bands he used his set like lead instrument pushing, leading and setting tone and speed. Really fantastic. Those three guys made a lot of sound for a smaller band.
Worth watching if only for the sting goof
