The Police and Elvis Costello

Saw 'em tonight at Sprint Center here in KC. I am still having eargasms. Truly spectacular, tons of music virtually everything you could have hoped for from both groups. Costello's group, the Imposters, is the Attractions with a different bass player, and his set was total 80's glory days throwback, including the new stuff they did, which was *very* much in that same classic vein. Costello's sound production left much to be desired, but the energy was great, the song selection superb.

The Police totally owned the place, though. Stunning, much as they were back in the day (from the videos I've seen, anyway...this was my first time to see them live). My *single* regret of the night is that they did not perform Synchronicity Part 2. Pity. But they pretty much did anything else one might hope to hear in a 1.75 hour set.

If you get a chance, go see them. Really. It rocked. Seriously rocked.
