Vintage stuff from The Police...
Sting disposed of his sling, picked up his guitar and leapt straight back into full action.
Despite gashing his arm in a filming mishap, he cast off his bandages and threw caution to the wind to whiz Police through a super show at Stafford.
And lead guitarist Andy Summers the second of the group's walking wounded - showed no signs of a crippling kidney illness as he joined in the fun.
The pair immediately forgot about their troubles to spellbind the audience during their 80-minute appearance at Bingley Hall.
And it was the old songs that really got them going.
They hit them by opening with 'Message In A Bottle'. Then they lulled them by sprinkling the past with the present.
Then it was out with a bang as 'Roxanne' earned an immediate, if not unexpected, encore which heralded some real vintage stuff.
'Don't Stand So Close', 'Can't Stand Losing You' and finally 'So Lonely' left no one in any doubt that despite the bad luck so far on the tour they can still turn it on.
