Name: Conrad Davies

Username: Cdave66

Location: Bicester, Oxfordshire, England.

Been a fan since: I bought my first Police single - 'Can't Stand Losing You' - in the summer of 1979, when I was 13.

Favourite Sting song: God, so difficult - 'The Last Ship' (amazing chorus!). Favourite Live - 'Seven Days'/'Never Coming Home'.

Favourite Police song: God, so difficult - 'So Lonely'. Favourite Live - 'Can't Stand Losing You'/'Reggatta de Blanc'.

Favourite Sting album: 'The Soul Cages'.

Favourite Police album: 'Zenyatta Mondatta'.

Most memorable concert: Sting, Two - Symphonicities Gdansk / Back to Bass - Henley Festival; Police - Wembley Arena 1983/2007 - However, I was in Gateshead and I was blown away, amazing - it would make a great tour. The Last Ship works brilliantly as a concert in that format.

Other favourite bands: Chris Rea / Fleetwood Mac / Pink Floyd.

In your own words: Been a Police, and by inference, a Sting fan since 1979, and has been a major part of my life ever since. I cried when the tickets arrived for my first police concert in 1983 and was absolutely thrilled when they announced the reunion tour, going 3 times and met Sting at a book signing in Manchester in 2008. The Police were brilliant in 2007/8, they still had it! Loved it so much, I listen to Certifiable all the time. First Sting concert was in 1992. I saw Back to Bass 7 times across Europe in 2012 and again at the Life festival Oswiecim in 2013. I had tickets for Sting and Paul Simon in Krakow, you can imagine how disappointed I was when I traveled all the way to Poland only for the gig to be cancelled. My consolation is I had tickets for the UK leg. Absolutely love The Last Ship music and there was no way I could miss the shows in Gateshead. And will again visit a gig or two on the 2015 summer tour. Absolutely love the guy, my friends know I call him 'The Lord God!' Long may he sell out around the world and entertain... Sting is one of the UK's greatest ever and should be recognised as such.

Peter Gabriel and Sting may be longtime friends. But co-headlining Summerfest's closing night Sunday at the Marcus Amphitheater, Gabriel kiddingly implied they were enemies. "We have in fact the red team and the blue team," Gabriel said, joking that the audience had color-coded score cards they could hold up to award each headliner points...

The menacing synths, haunting vocals and hypnotic percussion of Peter Gabriel's "The Rhythm of the Heat" started the evening, the singer stationary, cloaked in shadows behind his keyboard. Several minutes later, Sting took the spotlight, bass in hand, for his peppy "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You," a song that could not have been more dissimilar. But after nearly three hours of performing solo and in tandem Saturday at the United Center, any fleeting concerns that a live pairing of Gabriel and the former Gordon Sumner would be more contrast than synergy had long since been put to rest...
