The starting of The Police European Tour
The first European Dates of the Police Tour starting on August 29, check out what the critics said about some date of the North American tour. If there were still someone indecisive in booking the last ticktes for the italian date, they would have the right motivation.
VANCOUVER, 27 May
"They start with ‘Message In A Bottle’, an instant thrill. They’ve been rehearsing for two months and it shows: Copeland is a powerhouse at the drum kit, while Sting and Summers ooze relaxed concentration, like sportsmen who are trying hard not to try too hard. Sting sings better than he ever did in 1978 and The Police’s sound comes through undated, perhaps because it was so quirky in the first place." - The Mail on Sunday
"Two decades after splitting up, The Police are back - and they’re already displaying signs of greatness…More than 20,000 fans roared with unbridled joy - and shed a few tears of gratitude - as Sting, drummer Stewart Copeland and guitarist Andy Summers then played ‘Synchronicity II’, ‘Spirits in the Material World’ and other hits from their five albums. Happiness was also written all over Sting’s face as the trio ripped through furious renditions of ‘Voices Inside My Head’ and ‘When the World Is Running Down’." - The Edmonton Journal
"That old familiar Police magic was back in full force" - The Globe & Mail
"With atmospheric guitarist Andy Summers, wildly percussive drummer Stewart Copeland and even Sting himself embarking on structural, rhythmic and melodic digressions from and excursions around the central themes of what, in essence, are incredibly succinct and classically structured songs… it is hypnotically mesmerising, sucking you into a sonic and harmonic jigsaw of musical interaction before delivering you back to the comfort zone of the chorus."- The Daily Telegraph
"…The night felt more celebratory than nostalgic…These familiar but resurrected hits were delivered with the kind of conviction that originally made the Police the sincere rock band you could love without guilt." - Rolling Stone
NEW YORK, 7 July
"Sting’s high, keening voice was an enduring miracle in itself. He still sings many of them in his own shows, often in different, more careful form. But at the Garden, he played the songs with Copeland and Summers the way the three invented them together - with arresting force." - Rolling Stone
"Sting was in superb voice as a singer, and in fine form as a bassist - he guides the band from both extremes of register - and he appeared almost suspiciously well preserved. So did his songs, which of course are the engine behind the Police’s success, now as then. Because even the mega-hits hew to a fundamental sound, there was little differentiation in the show between what were once singles and B-sides." - The New York Times
"There are other rock reunions this summer - Genesis, Squeeze, Crowded House. But this one is by far the most notable. It’s not just that The Police were hugely popular and influential from the late 1970s until they broke up in the mid-’80s. But there was a chemistry to the trio that is impossible to reproduce with other musicians. Everyone played a vital role, like The Beatles, or The Who in their Townshend/Daltrey/Moon/Entwistle prime." - Newark Star Ledger
"The Police retained all the lean sinew and pop flair that made them the world’s biggest band back when they last hit town in August 1983 at Shea Stadium. Certainly, they didn’t stint on the hits. They stuck almost entirely to their best-known material in a nearly two-hour show that started with a full-throttle take on ‘Message in a Bottle’." - New York Daily News
"The gig was outstanding, start to finish… One of the reasons this band commanded such respect with stars and regular fans alike was they’ve remained true to their original melodies, but playful with the arrangements."- New York Post
