Awesome pictures. Thanks for sharing.
It looks like Sting got time to shave sometime *during* the concert (I'm guessing before the encore).

I saw The Police in a stadium tour in 1983 or 84. It was OK, but it was a stadium concert, which sucks in general.
I did see Elvis a few years ago and he rocked the house! It was amazing. It was probably 2005 but it felt like 1985. He was really on his game.

Love Elvis
The last time I saw him it was just him on guitar and Steve Nieve on keyboards
I would call it "semi-unplugged" ... well as unplugged as those two could be.
Very civilized venue in Indy that seats a few thousand theater style and they have a bar in the lobby
and drinks were allowed in the theater. Quite a nice change from the area or smokey club.
Who we gonna get to see next ?

Was anyone else here at both US Festivals or either one?
I went to the US Festival in 83. Pretty excellent three days!

Hear hear! I will *always* refer to that place as Pine Knob. To hell with DTE Energy!

First time I saw Elvis & the Attractions was when he was touring the US for My Aim Is True.
The concert was in the Millikan High School Auditorium, which seats about 650 people, we sat front row in the balcony, and watched the triple bill of Elvis, Nick Lowe & Rockpile, and Mink Deville! The concert was easily 6 hours long!!
Aloha, Ken
“The afternoon morphed into a cartoon-like surf dream. The late sun fortified the greens of the already awe-inspiring mountainous backdrop, spinner dolphins twirled and leapt outside the line-up, rainbows arced across multiple parts of the sky, while lefts wrapped around the reef and the magic of Tahiti pulsed in a breathtaking three-dimensional display.” - Liz Clark [www.wetsand.com]
“I have developed significant attachments to several members even though I wouldn't recognize them if I sat next to one on a park bench. I'm often tempted when in an airport to walk around, hollering "The Løpe", to see if anyone other than the Homeland Security people will acknowledge me. ” - The Løpe

Saw the Police last year in Vegas (STF for my postings). Fantastic, but ya know what?...Sting's son's band, Fiction Plane, really stole the show for me. It was like witnessing the Police in their heydey. LOVE them. Joe Sumner on stage is amazing.
Saw Fiction Plane in Vegas & in LA & at the Viper Room (saw Sting there too & Trudi Styler said hello to me). Who could ask for more!!!
You were expecting corn FLAKES?
