SONG PERFORMANCE APPRECIATION

Well, here comes my personal appreciation of the songs performed so far by The Police:

Message In A Bottle: Rock solid, no comments to be made.
Synchronicity II: Maybe they should "derange" this further, it just doesn't sound that well. Maybe they should switch it with Synchronicity I?
Don't Stand So Close To Me: Very nice, but they should use that one as opener and go back to the original version played back in the early 80's, this one is ... too "Stingish mellow".
Voices / When The World Is Running Down: Rock solid.
Spirits In The Material World: Nice new arrangement with Andy "picking" on his guitar, very nice new version.
Driven To Tears: Rock solid
Walking On The Moon: In my opinion the best song performance of all, with Andy doing a great in-between-solo-part, minimalistic but ever so nice.
Truth Hits Everybody: TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO slow, guys, this should beat the shit out of my lungs, and instead I fall asleep!!!!!
Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic: Mmmm, new arrangement, but too "Latin-Music-Like", back to the straightforward version I would say.
Wrapped Around Your Finger: Very good new version, good good good.
Bed's Too Big Without You: It was one of their best songs, and live it has always been great to hear it, and yes yes yes in 2007 they make also a nice rendition of it.
Murder By Numbers: Kick this song out, works on my nerves....
De Do Do Do De Da Da Da: Too soft, I need to hear the BANG when Andy starts, this is again too mellow.
Invisible Sun: Rock solid slightly re-arranged version.
Walking In Your Footsteps: Perfect
Can't Stand Losing You: Harder boys, play this HARDER!!!!
Roxanne: Kick out the Stingish softness and bring in the arrogance of the early years.
Encores
King Of Pain: Perfect
So Lonely: Perfect
Every Breath You Take: Falling asleep, this song simply cannot be played live, it dies due to Sting's moaning finishing of the song...
Next To You: Hard Harder Hardest, still too mellow, but great version nevertheless. Therapy played a great version once with Sting, I am sure the Boys can even do better.

And if you wonder how I know all this? Look at my earlier posts.
