A Disappointing Show :-(

Some friends and I went to see The Police the other night in St. Etienne. It was concert I've been waiting to see for awhile. Unfortunately, it wasn't as good as it should have been. The ticket stated that the concert would start at 20h30 with the Charlatans opening up. We showed up around 20h45 (plenty of time before the "real" band comes on). However, The Police were already playing! They took the stage at 20h15, apparently due to the weather. To add insult to injury, they played for a mere 1h35.

Here is the set-list. The ones in italics are the songs we missed:

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

I'm still bummed and pissed! Sting, Stewart and Andy owe me music...or money!
