It is a shame that their touring days ended way to soon... 
I was lucky enough to see them back in the day. They warmed up for 
The Police. Yes, I was into both bands but was much more excited to 
see XTC. They were very good. Andy had this nervous hyper stage 
manner that was apparently more a part of his being then I dared to 
imagine.
 
Oh, well, I guess we'll always have Sting. 
That may have been the darkest thing I've ever written. ;)
