WOW, did you see them in Vancouver? They played there in 1982 on the Ghost tour and again exactly one year later on the Synchronicity tour in 1983 which was in fact their last show ever in Canada.
The final show of the Synchronicity Tour and the final FULL Police show ever, was in Melbourne Australia on March 4, 1984 before a crowd of 60,000+ people.
The Police re-united for the last 3 Amnesty 86 shows in 1986 where they headlined the show, with U2 going on before them. U2 in total opened for the Police 5 times. Once in July 1980 in Dublin, again in July 1982 at Gateshead Stadium near NewCastle England, and then the final three Amnesty shows in 1986; June 11, 1986 Omni Arena , June 13, 1986 Rosemount Horizon near Chicago, and June 15, 1986 at GIANTS STADIUM near New York City.
In March 2003, the Police re-united to play 3 songs for their induction into the ROCK HALL OF FAME.
On Sting's recent tour of Colleges and small towns across the United States, STING played mainly Police songs, some of which had not been played in 25 years. The encores started out with "NEXT TO YOU" at full throttle. Sting just had two guitarist and a drummer with him and the sound was all Rock unlike much of his Solo tours. Other great Police songs played at each show were, Message In a Bottle, Demolition Man, Syncronicity II, Roxanne, Invisible Sun, Driven To Tears, Voices Inside My Head, When the World Is Running Down...., Spirits In the Material World, King Of Pain, and Every Breath You Take!
The two shows I saw were just incredible and were obviously my two favorite Sting shows with so much Police material played closely to the way the Police would do the songs.
