Here are the songs that The Police have played on the tour that were not featured last night:
- “Spirits in the Material World”
- “Truth Hits Everybody”
- “The Bed’s Too Big Without You”
- “Murder By Numbers”
- “Dead End Job” (segued from “Next to You”)
“Spirits in the Material World” would have been nice to hear, but not at the expense of, say, “Don’t Stand So Close to Me”. The rest I could pretty much take or leave, but the songs played were so perfectly executed (in an inventive way) that, again, given time constraints, I’d not trade them for other tracks.
Anyway, a DVD will hopefully surface once the tour concludes. I’d give anything for one right now, but… patience is required.
I’ll probably write a more sober reflection on the night tomorrow.
(Literalists take note: I wasn’t drunk.)
