Yo Chuckster Thanks for the great report. I would have given a bunch to see Sting and JT do that. And to hear Andy Summers play with Sting again must have been a real treat. Is this thing gonna be on the idiot box for the rest of us? BTW it is just comforting to me to find out Sting is ACTUALLY human and is capable of raw emotion like that. He is usually so calculated in his moves.
Best Paz P.S. McCartney is playing tonight here in NO and I am sitting on pins and needles hoping someone can get me tickets for this show. They only have $270 seats left. Please will the gods smile on me today so I can take the family to rock out tonight??? on 10/8/02 7:14 AM, Chuck Eisenhardt at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Fleet Center, Boston > > Well, this was one amazing concert.
