  1. SamTheButcher says I'm sure that $212 was only ticket sales, too, not counting merch. Big dollars, man. Big dollars. They've earned it, though.

  2. wowfactor says Back in the 80's they did as well, I am not so surprised because of it, it IS one of the best trio's in the history of music, regardless to what happened after their break - Stewart, Sting and Andy are a magic team
