Since passing on the Amnesty '86 show @ giants stadium, i had kicked myself in the pants since they never played again as the Police. But now I get to say I was 1 of those 19,000 @ MSG on 8/7/08 for the finale. They were better than ever, now I will get goose bumps listening to So Lonely just like I do with De doo do do from my Shea experience, so sad to see u leave again, but the legend lives on. Thanks for the great journey, the memories and the incredible music,EYO.

I told my older brother I wanted an English Beat t-shirt and when he found one for me, I immediately cut the sleeves off! My first Police concert was on the Synchronicity tour on a cold night in Biloxi, Mississippi. I've never forgotten the climax of "Regatta de Blanc." I had tears in my eyes at Madison Square Garden two days ago when Sting got to the same place in that song and said, "This is the last time we're gonna do this so let's raise the roof of the f***ing place!" And, boy, did we. Thanks, Stewart, Andy and Sting, for being... ... The Police.

I grew up listeing to their music, because my mother has always loved Sting. I have never seen them in concert but I wa so astounded last night. The NYPD coming out for SOS wow what anice touch. Stings Wife and kids coming out for Every Little thing she does is Magic awesome. The Red lighting for Roxanne great. How funny was the shaving off of the tour beard. Great show. I went by myself because none of my friends wanted to pay that much. Thank you WPLJ for advertising the concert, I imidiatly purchased the tickets. My only regret was not asking the beautiful girl sitting next to me, who was also by herself for her number. I have seen 4 concerts this summer but this one was a favotite. I am glad I was a part of history, even all the way up in section 310 row M seat 13 I still had a nice view. Oh and the B52's what agreta opening act, we heard new, old and classic songs.

Some high points: the NYPD band playing back-up on "Message in a Bottle" -- Sting's daughters dancing onstage during "Don't Stand so Close to Me" -- whisker-y Sting disappearing backstage with the camera crew after playing "I Can't Stand Losing You", getting SHAVED on camera while we screamed and clapped, then returning to the stage to play "Purple Haze". And yes, the fat lady sang at the end of the show. Thanks Police, and I hope your retirement is short lived. Singing with the Police and 19,000 other people – what an experience!
