The conditions prompted Sting to remark, ''Everybody looks like they've just had sex.'' But it was just heat and humidity clinging to the occasion, not timing. This go-round, attended by 19,000 people, had the potential to be more freighted with fare-thee-wells and the heavy air of finality. With Elvis Costello & the Impostors as a highly motivating first act, the reggae-rock titans played at least as well this time out, and probably a little better, given all the road dates in between for Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland. The reunion tour - which the band now says will end later this year, never to be repeated - made its second stop in South Florida following last year's Dolphin Stadium extravaganza. The Police did a fine job of saying hello and goodbye on Saturday night at sold-out Cruzan Amphitheatre. The Police showcase chemistry in relaxed set. Opening act Elvis Costello entertained the crowd that was trickling in while the sun set with hits including 'Pump It Up', 'Everyday I Write the Book', 'Radio Radio', 'Watching the Detectives' and 'What's So Funny 'Bout Peace Love and Understanding'.īut when Sting walked out to sing with Costello on his biggest hit, 'Alison', it summed up the night even before The Police took the stage: ''My aim is true.''

His voice was clear, high and strong on hits including 'Walking On The Moon' and 'Demolition Man', which raises the question why The Police felt it necessary to switch to a lower key for a ragged 'Don't Stand So Close to Me', plus 'Hole In My Life', 'Wrapped Around Your Finger' and 'De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da'.īetter received were 'Voices Inside My Head' leading into 'When the World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around' a spirited 'Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic', during which the crowd filled in the ''ee-oh-ohh'' backing vocals and 'Can't Stand Losing You', which journeyed into 'Reggatta de Blanc' and back.įor the encore, The Police churned out 'Roxanne', on which Sting's voice was perfect, plus 'King of Pain', 'So Lonely', 'Every Breath You Take' and a surprise rocker from their first album, 'Next To You'. The bearded Sting, who's pushing 60, looked cool and youthful, a bit like Hemingway in a cut-off black T-shirt. The British trio that revolutionized rock music in the late '70s and early '80s by adding jazz and reggae to pop tunes gave fans a sweet swan-song with a tour through its greatest hits.Īfter an intimate version of 'Bring On the Night' that focused on bassist and frontman Sting's vocals, the band ripped into its hit 'Message In A Bottle', after which Sting exclaimed, ''It's nice to be back in South Florida, especially West Palm Beach - everybody looks like they just had sex.'' If guitarist Andy Summers is right, that this is the final tour by The Police, then concertgoers got their money's worth Saturday night at the Cruzan Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach.
