They never tried to please masses of people, and I love it that they put the landmark at exact that place: You can expect Roxanne, but they presented it just not in the way you would expect. Still, the energy-typical for the Police- was there. And that is a lot more than I expected.

I loved it! I thought the arrangement was fab. This is so not going to be some oldies act tour. These blokes have got the right idea.
