The Police still magic in return to Atlanta
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
ABOVE: A shot I took from section 116 with a cheap Sony Cybershot camera. Get the real deal photos here by our fine staff photographer Jenni Girtman.
The 21 year wait is over and the magic is still there.
After more than five months on tour, the Police arrived triumphantly to a packed Philips Arena Saturday night, the legendary trio’s first appearance in Atlanta since the Amnesty International concert in June 1986 at the long-gone Omni Arena.
For years, fans have been clamoring for the Police to reunite, but the trio found other pursuits. The fact Sting’s solo career took off didn’t exactly force him back into the other two’s arms. Only now, more than two decades later, have they decided to cash in their chips, and the pent-up demand made the tour a slam dunk across the globe. So far, after 53 dates, the Police have grossed an astounding $171 million, by far the biggest of the year of any group. The group kerplunked another estimated $3 million in the till tonight (helped by the fact they sold tickets behind the stage, too.)
With ticket prices ranging from $52 to $227 (before Ticketmaster charges), Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland didn’t waste the audience’s time with new songs, superfluous patter or particularly off-the-wall takes on their known nuggets. Rather, the three kept the concert tight and bright, racing through 19 mostly greatest hits over an hour and 45 minutes, from a hearty “Synchronicity II” to a poignant “Invisible Sun.”
Harking back to their first Atlanta stop at the Agora Ballroom back in 1979, the Police truly kept it simple— no backup singers, no brass section, no keyboardist. But they produced a deep, rich sound that easily filled the upper reaches of the arena thanks to the still-supple vocals and skilled bass play of Sting, the proficient (if not terribly exciting) guitar work of Summers, and the joyous, propulsive beat of Copeland.
Summers, bless his heart, is a bit of a dour stage presence who seldom cracks a smile. But Sting’s impish grin and confident milieu more than makes up for it. In fact, the still lithe 56 year old wore a tight white cut-off T-shirt (that probably cost $100) better than most 26 year olds. He was always aware of his audience, encouraging them to sing or clap along, keeping most fans on their feet the entire concert.
Copeland (his muss of hair now mostly gray but still boyishly thick) banged away with the energy of a teen-ager. He had an especially good time with a set of percussion instruments behind his drumkit (including a gong and a xylophone) during a more jam-like take on “Wrapped Around Your Finger” from their final and biggest album “Synchronicity.”
The playlist featured virtually all the big hits (“Spirits in a Material World” and “Murder By Numbers” were exceptions) and most of the arrangements hewed closely to the originals. For instance, they fortunately opted for the original take on “Don’t Stand So Close To Me” rather than the dirge-like 1986 version. And the obnoxious yet catchy “Can’t Stand Losing You” still packs a punch in the gut 28 years later.
The Police will be back tonight and there are still good seats left, at least at the $92 and $227 price levels, based on a check tonight on Ticketmaster.com.
Here’s the set list, which they have seldom veered from on this North American tour. “Spirits in the Material World,” “Murder by Numbers” and “The Bed’s Too Big Without You” were played elsewhere but not at the Saturday night gig.
1- Message in a Bottle
2- Synchronicity II
3- Walking on the Moon
4- Voices Inside My Head/When the World is Running Down, You Make the Best of What’s Still Around
5- Don’t Stand So Close To Me
6- Driven To Tears
7- Hole In My Life
8- Truth Hits Everybody
9- Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic
10- Wrapped Around Your Finger
11- De Do Do Do De Da Da Da
12- Invisible Sun
13- Walking In Your Footsteps
14- Can’t Stand Losing You
ENCORE I
15) Roxanne
16) King of Pain
17) So Lonely

Amazing show!!! I can’t wait to do it again tomorrow night! Sting & Stewart rocked the house. Although Andy’s playing was on target, the only time he showed any hint of personality was between the first and second encore…and I’m sure it was well rehearsed. All in all, I’d do it again in a heartbeat…wait, I am.

The show was okay, but when a place charges $4 for a bottle of Sprite and demands to keep the cap, well, obscenity comes to mind. And, don’t me started on the epic atrocity known as MARTA. Incompetence reigns, and ridership plummets. Never again will I spend tree-fitty on a fare.

I’ll never forget the Synchronicity Tour appearance in Fall of ‘84 at the Omni. I was a senior in High School and didn’t even go, frankly, but the excitement and black t-shirts of those who did stays with me. Old bohemian-style Fellini’s at Garden Hills on Peachtree played them and U2 non-stop that year.

If you’re too cheap to take advantage of this probably last chance to see the Police live, buy their box set - it has everything they ever recorded.
That said, last night’s show was great. The stripped stage, bass, guitar, drums as the basic elements of a rock trio leave no room for error, and you can’t find 3 finer musicians to nail song after song. Sting knows his vocal limits and never exceeded them yet also was able to belt it out as if it was 2 years and not 20+ since they’d toured.
The ticket prices leave me a little cold but whatever, I could afford it and reliving your youth is just worth the price sometimes.

The Synchronicity concert at The Omni was in 1983, not 1984. Video is available for that concert. www.universalchronicles.com and search for police, you’ll see Atlanta, GA concert. THE BEST ! might find yourself in one of the pictures !

Was there an opening band? Any good? When did The Police start?
By Joe D
November 18, 2007 11:02 AM | Link to this
Sat in section 308 - for the low, low price of $110 with service charge, etc.
TERRIBLE sound in that venue!!!! As for the band, in a venue that large, they would be better served using additional musicians to compliment the songs (backing singers, and a keyboardist come to mind, where is Dolette McDonals & Janice Pendarvis when you need them!).
The show would have smoked at a smaller venue, but this tour is about feeding the masses.
Of course the Police are legends, but this tour smacks of a money-grubbing extravaganza - $10 for a poster, $35 for a tee-shirt, not to mention $100 to sit in the rafters where the reverb made it impossible to hear anything clearly.
Stirictly a “C” grade from this life-long fan.

Yes, a $4.00 bottle of sprite. It’s worth the cost to hydrate up in section 412 (hest rises)as does reverberation. And there was a dose of both. Wonderful energy, if only to keep up on the air drums with Stewart. Freeze-Police… our hands were in the air! They take the stage at 8:45.

Great show! Sting sounded great for recovering from a cold. But you could tell he struggled somewhat. The accoustics in sect 307, not good. Not sure if it the set up or what. Totally worth the price!

First of all - Lahoma, you will be old some day, too, and you will still want to hear whatever music you think is the best - stop being such a jerk. Second, I saw the concert last night and I think it was fantastic - as the reviewer said, they stayed true to the original songs and Sting looked and sounded awesome. For those of you complaining about the cost of things - well, that’s just the way it is these days - don’t go if you aren’t prepared to suck it up and enjoy it anyway. I’m amazed that people pay this kind of money and then all they do is complain and criticize. It’s one thing if the concert is not good, but this concert was great! There was a couple in front of me that never moved, never showed any sign of even hearing the music, let alone feeling it - and they left early. They looked and acted like they would rather be anywhere else than there — or maybe they were on a first date and hated each other, I don’t know. I thought, “why would they even come to this concert?” I say know and accept what you’re getting into , and take it for what it is - and enjoy it to the max!

If Rodney things the version of Dont Stand So Close to Me was close to the original, he should get a belltone hearing device. It was in a TOTALLY different key and sung completely differently. It actually sounded much more like the redid version in the 1980’s. I certainly wouldn’t call Murder By Numbers one of their biggest hits either. Great show though I dont think songs like Invisible Sun are great concert songs. Give me Synchronicity 1, One World is Enough, Canary in a Coalmine instead any day.

The opening act was Fictionplane, headed by Sting’s son, Joe Sumner. It gave me a headache — my daughter, who was with me, commented that “that was a garage band that needed to stay in the garage.” I wondered if Daddy was backstage cringing, or putting on a game face.
But The Police rocked!

My son (35) bought tickets for us (I’m 62 and loved the Police when I taught high school in my early 40’s and tried to keep up with what my students were listening to). I thought Synchronicity was one of the most intellectual albums in the rock world with its references to technology, evolution, the environment, Greek tragedy ,and Jungian psychology. My son and I and several of his friends had a ball, dancing, clapping, singing at the top of our lungs with Sting and watching the couple in the front row making out during most of the concert (a little sideshow). We sat behind the stage in 119, but it was great, Sting came around the stage a couple of stage and we could see Stewart tossing his drumsticks into the air on a regular basis. Sting looks just as great from the rear as he does from the front and the camera work on the screens was fantastic as well. I came all the way down from Portland, Maine for this event and wouldn’t have missed it for the world. I feel very lucky that my son knew how much fun this would be for both of us. I’ll never forget it and I saw people of all ages there having a great time. It’s only money, people, you decide how you want to spend it, and for an experience like this with my son, PRICELESS!

A great reunion tour with one of the best bands in the early 80’s. Nothing but music from these guys with a set list of nineteen songs and two encores. They were in great shape musically and physically. I’m glad they did the tour and I am glad I was able to see the show. Some of these reunion tours could learn a thing or two from The Police. Keep the original members (if they are still alive) and play your ass off.

If no one who attended last night’s show posts the actual time the Police take the stage, then use history: 7:30 ticket time, there’s an opening act, the main act follows the opening band usually between about 8:45-9:15, so if you only want to see the Police, my advice is to at least be in the concourse near your seats by 8:45.

My wife and I agree completely about Summers’ lack of stage presence, but Sting and Copeland were amazing.
Great set list though “Murder” would have been great to hear. For the commenter who asked about the opening act - band name is Fictionplane, and I was told the lead singer is Sting’s son! They put on a nice rock set from 7:25 to 8:25. The Police hit the stage at 8:50 or so and played 1:45 to 10:35 or so.

Friend & I sat in section 111, Row H, Seats 1 and 2, and my tix were $92 (+ fees). I bought them back in June the day they went on sale. So, don’t complain about $110 tix in the acoustically-challenged upper reaches. If that mattered to you, then you should have been on top of the situation and bought them the minute Tikitbasterd starting vending.
The opening act went from 7:30 p.m. until 8:15 p.m.
Police took the stage at 8:49 p.m.

Regarding Andy Summers, being a musician doesn’t make you a showman. Andy is a musician — thus his efforts go into his playing and he shows doesn’t try to entertain the audience. Sting, however, is both a musician and showman, and it shows. Take Clapton, for example. No one will ever call him a showman. He just plays and does a great job of it. So cut Andy some slack.

I was glad they did not have new material to support. It was refreshing to see a show where they play the hits. The crowd was on their feet the whole show. I would go tonight, but last night set me back $600 for main floor tix, babysitter, dinner and a bootleg tee.

Great show! Great music! Not bad where I sat (Row K in the back upper section opposite the stage).
Now what I want to know is this: from my vantage point I could see the upper row of rooms above the luxury boxes and boy, did it look like a few couples were having “fun” up there. Decorum prevents me from going into details- use your imagination.
Did anyone else catch this?
Opening band was a 3 on a ten scale. You could hear the Police influence but it was too much.

Indeed an amazing concert, and I’m sure my wife will have me on Sting’s diet/exercise regimen come Monday.
And I gotta share this - Our evening’s enjoyment was further enhanced by a nearby group of stiff 40-60 yo businessmen holding court in “The Ted’s” box).
They were being entertained by a group of 6-foot-plus women of dubious occupation. The highlight was a little bald man in a sportcoat that moved costantly through this group, seeking lurrve from whatever female was nearest to him. My guess… a recently refilled prescription. :)
I wonder if they knew how many people were taking photos of them? LOL

The show was incredible. I still cant afford a set of octobons. And a sic Tama kit. Stewart is incredible. Such a great attitude. And sting belting the vocals out. It was an event of out lifetime. Great blogs guys, I especially enjoyed the man that posted a blog about him and his son. What a great time! Any way i wish the police were still together. Dam…. Imagine what they could create if the started some new material. Such accomplished musicians.

We(4)had great seats in sec.119 and they only cost $100/apiece. The show was great, especially with our catty-cornered view of Copeland and sting. The sound could have been better but our show was awesome! I’ll always regard the Police with the best. And I’ve seen some of the Best!

I was there, in Section 119. Got there about 8:30 P.M., driving from Athens (post-game traffic slowed us—took about 2 hours to get there, but it looks like we didn’t miss much).
The concert was amazing—we were next to the stage, and the view was quite good. Sting’s voice is still quite intact at a half-century-and-change age (compared this to Elton John or Billy Joel, who have each lost an octave or or more in range), and Stewart Copeland may be the best drummer/percussionist I have ever seen live (but I’ve never seen Rush live, I’ll admit). Very tight set, not much fluff, though it could have used a bonafide drum solo.
Oh, and for those of you who use “you’re old” as some sort of insult, just hope you get here. You could be old and cool, like all of us. Or you could be dead. Me, I prefer the former.

I went to both shows but 2nd nite was on floor 12th row. the band was tight. they rocked the stage and gave so much love to the audience. Stings vocals were amazing even though he was sick and you just say enough about Stewarts drumming. the fills, the rolls + his extra set-up in the back just sets off wrapped around your finger. I would follow them around the world if I had the $. Great show!

Such a powerful, energetic show on a Sunday, no less. Sting was a master showman, and obviously knew how to get the audience on its feet - and stay there. Stewart was astounding. All of that movement!! He played with the power and stamina of a twenty year old, but with the precision of a fine artist. It wasn’t necessary for Andy to be a “personality” on stage, for his unequalled performance on the guitar speaks a language of its own. Bravo!! This was a night I will never forget. I’m glad my teenage musician son was able to see it with me. He was very impressed with the musicianship of the trio and practically overwhelmed by power of the performance.

I was behind the stage in sec 316 and i was lucky enuf to have a bird’s eye view of copeland - incredible, especially tunes that required the use of that sick percussion set-up he had behind his drum kit - super tight band - it’s unbelievable how much music was produced by just 3 musicians and i believe keyboardists and backup singers would have been a detriment - kudos to whomever is managing the tour

The show was awesome! There was no need for any hoopla of back up singers, etc. They are all musical geniuses, and put on an exceptional show. I saw them in ’86 on the AI tour, and they were just as good, if not better. Well worth the close to $500 price for two floor seats. I would pay that again. It is one thing to re-live your youth for a night, but to do so with such incredible music and entertainment is priceless. Stewart Copeland has got to be the best percussionist ever, such a delight to hear and see!

I thought that Sting’s vocals sounded great, but the band was far from the tight trio that I expected. They were having some real problems holding things together on some songs. Given that they are a three-piece playing really rythmic music, I expected them to be really locked in together. I saw a lot of struggling on the timing. It didn’t feel like a band - more like three very talented musicians who weren’t all that in to playing togther. I had pretty good seats, but the sound was inexcusably horrible. I don’t blame the band for that, but it was all muddy, booming bass. I have seen other shows in Philips that had better sound, so I know that it is possible. Just incompetent sound crew that night. I am a part-time professional musician, so I hear some things that maybe others wouldn’t.

I went Saturday night and thought it was fantastic. Had floor seats and the sound was awewsome. Three great musicians, still playing tight. I was tempted to go back sunday night.
Sting still has the voice, copeland is a monster, and summers wailed on the guitar, even if he lacks stage presence. Most of the arena stood the entire time. Only disappoinment was they didn’t play Spirits in the material world. I waited 23 years after missing the synchronicity tour and it was worth the wait.

The Police have been my favorite band for 16 years, since I was 8 years old! I love them as much as I did back in the 80’s, and am very disappointed that I didn’t have the money to go see them! Thankfully, my friend said she bought me a t-shirt, so I can at least pretend that I got to see them - Heard that Copeland was incredible!

I can mark this off my list to do!!! I went to the show last night and it was short of amazing. The combination of WOW and AWE really took over me. I’m cheap and could never see myself spending $100+ on a ticket but this was well worth it. They would’ve ruined it if they had any back-up anything. That’s not ROCK! Anyone that can rock like Andy Summers gets my respect. He’s ageless to me after last night! Sting’s vocals and showmanship were amazing. Stewart Copeland…he rocked! He’s the man! All of them together, man they were tight!!
They are easily the best rock band in the world today. U2 is taking a break on this one.

Caught their show on Saturday night - AWESOME! We had seats in the 300 section behind the stage, great birds’ eye view of the band. Definitely the highlight was Copeland and his drumming. I was disappointed that “Murder By Numbers” wasn’t on their setlist for the Saturday show, but still had a great, great time.
The opening band (ala Sting’s son), Fictionplane, I thought was okay. There could’ve been worse bands opening. Also, “Fictionplane” is an anagram for “Infant Police”.

I love The Police!! I saw them for the first time in Memphis when I lived there in 1981. I didn’t get to see Sting again until he toured with Annie Lennox a few years ago. He was awesome then as he is now-even more sexier with age. The Police were cool-rock on guys, rock-on. I was lucky enough to get floor seats a week ago and stood up on my chair and danced and sang the whole night. My husband enjoyed the show too. Come back Policeman!!!!

Before the Agora appearance in 1979… The Police made a stop at the Georgia Theater in Athens. Tickets were $3 at the door..Sting played an upright bass for most of the show.
I think Sting has probably forgotten the stop in Athens so many years ago… he said at the Saturday concert their first GA performance was at the FOX .. Those fortunate 100 or so early fans in attendance that night will certainly remember seeing them in such a small club setting.. I talked to them after the show in 79 when they were loading out their own gear ( how big a road crew do you think was here for this weekends 2 shows haha)

It’s amazing to me that that there were any negative comments regarding this extraordinary performance by three absolutely phenomenal musicians. This concert was truly one of the best I’ve ever seen going back to my fist concern in 1973 witnessing Manfred Mann opening for Uriah Heep. 250 + concerts later this one ranks up there. The old guys (and their old fans!)know how to rock…The Rolling Stones, U2, The Eagles, and now The Police!
