Excellent show,. While its the same show night in oand night out, they gave it their all thought they could have stayed a bit longer. Elvis was terrific

The sound was perfect from the outset, do you hear that Bruce? Perhaps tehse guys did a sound check, do you hear THAT Bruce?

Great performance and a high energy fun crowd! South Florida knows how to have a good time and get down! Costello and the Police were both amazing, and even jammed together for a song. So glad I went!

In excerpts from a documentary, group members looked extremely relaxed while enjoying a dip in the hotel jacuzzi with Austin Powers star Michel Myers. So relaxed that as bandleader Sting accidentally "broke wind" before Myers while in the water, Myers Mocked "How dare you break wind before me"??? Sting, mindfull of the same scene in Myers movie retorted "I didnt know it was YOUR turn"

What a Great Concert
I did not sit down once when The Police hit the stage
Kick Ass!
I just was a bit disappointed that they didnot play either one of the Synchronicity songs
But I had a Great Time over all

Really felt bad for the people who paid $225 per ticket....Have seen Sting twice and now once "The Police"...

Fo some reason, he is just unwilling to play for more than 1.5 hours.

When they walked off stage after playing for barely and hour..."people were like, you have to be kidding"

Enjoyed myself overall...but dissapointed in the shortness of the effort from Sting yet again.

Great show!
Had been 23 years since I last saw the The Police, they are still a great band and put on a great show.

Dont know what Police concert Steve saw. At the Police concert I attended they played 2 and half hours and did 3 encores.

Lay off the booze at concerts Steve.

Sasha, Lay off the hallucingenics, or however you spell that! Steve was right, and I was content.

All told, they played 100 minutes which was adequate. BuT thtte encore was 5 songs, they lefT AFTER 75 MINUTES, WHICH WAS ADMITTEDLY A BIT BRIEF. THE SAME SHOW NIGHT IN, NIGHT OUT

I agree that the music was very good and they did in fact played short without timing them. For those like myself who sat in the lawn area toward the right side of the stage a third of the way from the covered pavillion,i was disapointed .The sound volume from that direction was way to low as evidenced by people starting to sway at the begining of a song , then sudenly stop due to low volume.It could of been their sound manager not adjusting to conditions or what i could see, there were no adaquate speakers up in the pavilion support bracing facing the lawn area. I wonder if the same ocurred at the other lawn areas. Royal Palm Beach,Fl
