I saw the Police during the Syncronicity tour. God, I was what--14? 15? I barely remember anything about it.
You can't be irritated that they're playing around with the music. Real rock fans live for that kind of noodling. Your observation that otherwise they could just put it on a big sound system and kick back is quite on. Unfortunately, that's how Alice in Chains sounded when I went to see them last November. Despite the fact that they had to replace St. Layne, AiC sounded, note for note, just as they had on recordings. This is both awe-inpsiring and awful, if you understand me.
