Just got back from the Cleveland show. Not too much new to report. The crowd was quite lame, but maybe I'm just saying that because I've been spoiled from being at the Albert Hall so much, where everyone is dancing and having a great time. It was a beautiful night. Security was UNbelievable, not even allowing us to get within a 100 foot radius of the tour buses or back entrance. To top it off, all of these "security guards" were 14 year old girls. I had never been to an outdoor Sting concert before, and there were some really cool moments - Bring on the Night started right when it got really dark.
The band sounded quite tired. One song would sound great, then the next would be completally flat. I agree, the new "bossa" intro to BND sounds great, but after that it flatlines. A big suprise was Desert Rose witch was HORRIBLE...without Cheb and some other sounds it turns into something you'd hear on a "light" radio station.
Fill Her Up has returned to a 7/4 towards the end, only going into 4/4 in the last few verses. In Europe he was doing all 4/4 at the end. This song also sounded like sh!t, I think because there was only one backup singer.
Overall Sting was in good spirits, waving to the crowd to get louder and softer at his command. Dominic looked tired, and Chris is now wearing a white shirt (a crowd fav. with the ladies too).
Finally, as soon as the last E was played in Fragile, the whole band walked right off the stage to their vans....and Sting was wearing a big black cloak!! It was surreal. Has he done this before? Maybe he's taking the line "I'll wear this pilgrim's cloak" literally.
I'll be at the next 4 shows, so look for me in the vintage Synchronicity shirt and matching hat (on backwards) and say "Hi."
