Wolfman Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Well I finished a hat trick weekend of concerts (Mark Knopfler, Bruce Springsteen) with a great one . Wow....what a show last night at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia. First up was Elvis Costello and the Imposters. He played a nice hour set with most of the hits in there. Sting came out for one song too. Then the Police came on and even though this was a shorter setlist then the last time I saw them in Philly (7/19/07), they were fantastic. Stewart Copeland must be seen live. No wonder he was Bonzo's fave drummer in the late 70's. It was one of those fun shows where we all sang along with the band. The jams were tight and at times, mind blowing. It's a shame this will be it for them. I would love to see them do another album together! Setlist: Message In A Bottle Walking On The Moon Demolition Man Voices Inside My Head When The World Is Running Down Don't Stand So Close To Me Driven To Tears Hole In My Life Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic Wrapped Around Your Finger De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da Invisible Sun Can't Stand Losing You Roxanne King Of Pain So Lonely Every Breath You Take Next To You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister asked me at almost the last minute yesterday if i wanted to go. She originally asked me and told me the show was the end of August. It was too late for me to get a babysitter so i missed out. Now i wish i went. According to Joe Bonadonna Jr. it was the last time The Police would play here.
