I dug out this photo to get a print for a photography buddy and thought this qualifies as documentary given the band's rocky history together :D This was taken at the end of their final performance, MSG 2008.

The use of a camera is similar to that of a knife. You can use it to peel potatoes, or carve a flute. ~ E. Kahlmeyer

    Wow, what a great picture.

    I love the B&W conversion.

    Really like the connection between the performer and the adoring fans, both emotional and lighting...

    What a great moment, captured so well... nice work!
    As a long-time concert-goer I find the pre-printed signs peculiar - old school sensibilities I guess.

    The signs were produced in quantity by a Police fan to hand out to other fans for the final date of the reunion tour. It was an emotional night for fans. We never thought they'd play together again so were grateful to them for doing it 20 years after a messy end to the band. I have crowd shots where Bruce Stringsteen and wife, Debbie Harry, Gerard Butler, James Gandolfino and Micky Dolenz can be seen. It was like playing Where''s Waldo. Andy's wife Nancy was in the thick of it too.

    Understand - sounds like a very unique and special night... thanks for the backstory.
