The Police

The Police concert was one of, if not the best, live shows I have ever attended.

The show was at Dolphin Stadium in Miami, outdoors on a hot July night. The atmosphere was magical, absolutely electric. It was so exciting!

The Police hadn’t toured for years, and now they were back, live, and no one there was going to miss a second! This was my first time seeing The Police live, and I was really surprised at how engaged they were with the crowd. I had expected pretty much a straight set list, with a break in the middle, but the band talks a lot during their shows. Lots of jokes, unscripted conversation and interaction with the audience

.This show was part of the 30th Anniversary Tour, so the set list was classic – they opened with Message in A Bottle, and played all their hits – Synchronicity, Don’t Stand So Close to Me, Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da, Roxanne and of course Every Breath You Take. The crowd sang along quite a bit, and was encouraged by the band. This show will always stick out in my memory. Just seeing The Police was great of course, but the outside venue, the crowd standing on the field, right up close to the stage and the hot summer night made it even more special.
