The recently reunited Police are currently stopping by in Tokyo and I went to see their concert at Tokyo Dome tonight. They played all their greatest hits, from Message in a Bottle to Every Breath You Take. Opening act: Fiction Plane, fronted by Sting's son. Now, the problem with huge venues like Tokyo Dome is that you end up sitting (or standing) a hundred metres away from the stage, so that without those big video walls you could not really say what was going on there. In effect, you have 25,000 people watching a music video together, which of course still makes for a nice event.
Trivia tidbit for the day: Tokyo Dome is an air-supported structure, the roof being held up by constantly keeping the inside of the stadium pressurised, which is very noticeable when going in or out.
