Yup, today I hit the proverbial “spot on the hill” where it’s supposed to be downhill the rest of the way. Heck, no! I’m just getting started!
Russ and I celebrated the “milestone” with a trip to the Palace of Auburn Hills last week to see The Police in concert. It was a GREAT show, and despite the insane price for concert tickets, worth every penny. Even the opening act, Fiction Plane (Fiction Plane, featuring Joe Sumner, Sting’s 30-year-old son), was pretty decent.
Here’s the amazing set list:
- Message in a Bottle
- Synchronicity 2
- Walking on the Moon
- Voices Inside My Head
- When the World Is Running Down
- Don’t Stand So Close To Me
- Driven To Tears
- Truth Hits Everybody
- Bed’s Too Big Without You
- Every Little Thing She Does is Magic
- Wrapped Around Your Finger
- De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da
- Invisible Sun
- Walking in Your Footsteps
- Can’t Stand Losing You
- Roxanne
(Encores)
- King Of Pain
- So Lonely
- Every Breath You Take
- Next To You
For those of us who are um…thirty-to-forty-something… it was a complete nostalgia trip down the path of happy music memories.


Good way to celebrate I think. Happy Belated! Concerts sure are expensive these days at the big arenas. It makes me appreciate all the more to see Rocco Deluca at a small place like St. Andrews in Detroit for $20. I doubt he will ever play there again since I see him moving up and up – but I will always remember this show even when he comes back to the bigger venues. I am sure people have memories like this of the Police also.
