- Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light... was sung by Sting with Andy Summers and the great Stewart Copeland. It was September, last year, a weekday at the Barcelona Olympic Games. The stadium on the neck: About 55,000 people to see The Police. Twenty years after they had separated, they were there before our eyes and in sufficient season.
The road up there, however, was not comfortable. It is exhausting to go to Barcelona on a Tuesday to return that same night. I don't know in what order, but it takes time, money and hobby to do it. However, it is not always possible to see Police and we sincerely explained ourselves to Pamplona to get on the organized bus. The back places looked free and we headed there, hoping we'd go quieter. We were wrong: in the middle of the road the vehicle made a stop to receive the Police of Tudela, and soon after we were surrounded by them, without escape. A forties of nostalgic rock lovers, who will throw away the most amazing anecdote of the concerts seen. Loud, of course, with the mouth wide open and so that the driver can hear himself. Well, the biggest one was released by the rear:
ndash; I am furious with Mana. I love them, and for Zaragoza and Pamplona, I took tickets for both. In the first one they took out the Spanish flag, but in the Pamplona one, only the Navarre one! It didn’t seem right to me that I was going to throw in front of Alfajarín, which was still 300 km away. Luckily, we ended that torture and arrived in Barcelona. We were afraid, aware of the dangers of the return of old bands, but the concert was rough, certainly memorable. It was probably the last chance to see Police. Or at least that’s what everyone said, while remembering that the musicians were over 60 years old.
I read the news yesterday: In 2008, Police will play in Valencia, Madrid and Bilbao. And this is not the only case: Springsteen and Dylan, who have recently visited the Basque Country, are said to be in San Sebastian and Pamplona this year. I have inevitably remembered those who have seen The Rolling Stones “for the last time” several times. Because sometimes this business, they always sell us the last chance. How did I not realize that Sting himself gave us a warning from the microphone: you don't have to put on the red light. In other words, there is no need to turn on the red light. There will be new opportunities later on. No need to take the bus. It's not little, it's not little.
