Yeah no professional (read: SLR) cameras allowed. Canon SD630 to the rescue! Unfortunately the person that had the camera when I was behind the kit thought they were taking stills and not video so there's hardly anything of length. But I got to play Every Breath You Take, and Roxanne while Stewart went down to the seats to hear his drums from the audience perspective.

Dream come true to meet my drumming idol, let alone play two songs with Sting and Andy Summers!!!

I was at the show on Tuesday. Watching Stewart Copeland play was worth the price of admission.

What EXACTLY is the camera policy at the pavillion? I'm going back up there to see Joan Jett (yeah, I know she's the "third act", but she's the one I want to see most!) in a month and would like to go better prepared.

That's outrageous. Sting is one of the most talented musicians on the planet.
A day you will not ever forget ?

What is most awesome about it was just how effing nice and open and relaxed everything was, and THEY all were. You get this preconceived notion that Sting is an A-Hole and it's the complete opposite. Andy was hilarious, and Stewart- man it was like talking with my best friend- unreal. :) I will NEVER forget it!

I'm still stupefied that I played with two of Rock's most famous and world renowned guitar and bass players, ever. I freaking played in The Police!!!!
