Trivia

At about 4:30pm, about 125 guests (from a fundraising event for one the David Suzuki Foundation) seated inside the empty arena, watched as drummer Stewart Copeland and guitarist Andy Summers took to the stage. Sting followed a few seconds after, and while holding his bass, was dressed in a coat and long scarf wrapped around his neck.

"I have a bit of a cold," he said softly, "and to avoid putting any undo strain on my voice, I'm wondering if there are any volunteers down there who wouldn't mind singing the songs for me..."

The Police started their soundcheck with Every Breath You Take and about 10 guests singers. The whole soundcheck lasted about 45 minutes.

Backstage Sting signed a bass guitar which would later be auctioned off for charity.

"Roxanne" and "Synchronicity II" were dropped from the setlist that night due to Sting having vocal problems. The next scheduled concert date, 2007-11-14, would be postponed until the following year due to these problems.
