The Police, In Concert

Just got back from seeing The Police. (Their third time in Toronto, my second time seeing them.) It was an astoundingly good show, as expected. I didn't have the anticipation I had back in July, but some things seemed even better. It certainly helped that we had amazing seats.
Sting was in fine form, Stewart was his usual crazy self but my love for the band, as always, is centred on Andy. He's still an extraordinary guitarist and his solos were pure pleasure for my brain. And he won points for impiness by staying on stage between the second and third encore and milking the audience for applause. I cheered louder then than at any point in the show.
And now, since I'll be up at 6 dealing with a baby who mostly handled being babysat pretty darn well, I must crash.

I was tempted to call you guys this week and ask to pick up a Police Army jacket for me, but I restrained myself.
Glad the little one took well to being babysat.

Ros was pretty good, though she did that so upset I can't even make a sound crying thing when we left. And she woke up when we got home and took a long time to get back to sleep, mostly 'cause she kept checking to make sure we were still there.
