Sting - 'Synchronicity 2', Live in Oslo, 1993

Sting's touring band for the 'Ten Summoners Tales' 93 tour performing what I think is possibly the best live version Sting has done of 'Synchronicity 2' - even better than The Police did it! Vinnie Colaiuta plays a ferocious, driving drum part and as ever, keeps it tasteful without pointless overplaying 'just because he can'. He even gets away with the double-bass bit at the end without the accusation of adding too many notes to a four-and-a-half minute pop song!

Goddam, this is such a banger version of the song. Love it!

[@scernik]

Best version!!!! incredible!!!! claps!!! Vinnie, best drummer ever

[@manpiano09]

Guys, no need to compare Vinnie to Steward, both remarkable drummers, each of them with an own style and drive! Great tour, well remembered!

[@nmmbg]

[@TNTIV]

Nobody ever understands Stings lyrics and I pretty sure he just makes the sounds his lyrics sound like.

[@elsabewium4450]

Love it so much ..... !!!

[@kupassyatina]

kicking version

[@somospeti]

4:23 He holds on to the snare. :)

[@Woodrowtracy]

love this! :D but "Englishman in New York" was the highlight of the show.

[@lauraidini4859]

Sono sincronizzatissima

[@Oldgames1000]

This is the one song ive seen Sting mess up at least twice. Ive seen at least 4 videos of him live messing this up, the Rio version, this version, and the fenway park version

[@jrzbob]

Nice.

[@PeterMayer]

@manpiano09 yup...saw this in Cincinnati. Dada band opened.

[@okrajoe]

Quarantined alone with the din on my Rice Krispies!?!?

[@sameold5050]

Impressive.
Can anyone tell us who the band members are here?

[@starbeardiesyoung]

One of the greatest songs ever written. And this arrangement just blows me away. The Miyazaki perfomance is slightly better though ...

[@chichochicc]

I didnt hear that performance but I'd really love to do it, this oslo version is mind blowing. link of the miyazaki version please please

[@Jordannne72]

@TheIdleMan123 -- hey there... I've been trying to find this concert online to order but am having no luck... what's the title of video you have? Would love to order a copy from a site!

[@SteveHynes]

@Kobeownzu81
Just as well as Vinnie....err I don't think so!

[@thedrumdoctor]

@ferrari934
Hmmm....matter of personal opinion really.
The only person who can truly pass judgement on this would be Sting.

[@thedrumdoctor]

@EarthFMEnterprises
Get into your flack shelter, I can feel you are about to be bombarded by the VC fan club...

[@thedrumdoctor]

Until of course, Sting hires me to play with him...
NO! I didn't say that - seriously only joking!!!!!!
It must have been this dream I had, along with about 1,000,000 other drummers on the planet....

[@marcelobecerra5083]

Dominic lo hace tan bien o mejor que Andy (perdón Andy Summers 🎸)

[@Fer-ug4nd]

Siendo sincero, con Andy tiene un toque más personal, en especial este tema, el cual el sello fue Andy

[@mawi70]

Hehe... Copeland made his mark with the Police. That's true. But comparing him to the most versatile player on the planet is pretty laughable. This is brilliant!

[@joseduran4643]

Vinnie plays this song ignoring all the accents and the dynamics....he's better off playing Non Police stuff...

[@achenarmyst2156]

Interesting and energetic version. But nothing compares to the original. No backing vocals or keys needed.

[@MrTechDiff]

if only dominic had half the creativity of andy summers.

[@PeterMayer]

Vinny!
