I love the arragement of sticking Reggatta De Blanc in the middle of Can't Stand Losing You. I thought it was something special for this reunion / farwell tour, and then I saw a video recorded in 1979 where they did the same arrangement.
He is a badass... I saw the Police 3 times and even in the early days Stewart was the visual center of the show and he always plays like his hair is on fire but it is always very refined and composed... His drums tuned high creating music not just rhythm... He has such a great understanding of world rhythms and Western 2 and 4... He creates a special groove in songs that no one else is cabable of...... There is no Police without him... Everybody is amazing in this band... As great as Stings song writing and singer chops are, he just couldn't recreate the magic without the other 2 and maybe that is because the bar is set so high when these 3 performed in their greatest days....
All three of these guys are monsters!! Copeland is simply amazing, one of my favorite drummers ever. Andy plays the perfect part every frikkin time and Sting, well Sting!!!
I absolutely love watching Stewart Copeland perform Live. The man is a Beast, a virtual demon possessed of boundless energy. All 3 of them are just bursting with Talent, the likes of which will never be seen again in our drab music culture of the past 3 decades.
I know. There are obsessive-compulsive people, autistic people, absolutely perfectionists, extra precise people or crazy geniuses who hit the drums without such a minor mistakes, like one millisecond. That's how I recognize two drummers; 1 is from the police and the other is from Simple Minds
Y Led Zeppelin, Rush, Billy Idol,AC/DC, The Cranberries, Aurora,… tantos artistas mejores que los Beatles. Pero el hecho de no incluir a Pink Floyd, eso dolió. 😢
We kind of pretty much got that in Sting's new LP, 57th & 9th. Really, it could've been labeled a Police album, in terms of style and lyrical content; all that was missing was Stewart and Andy. He should get a Grammy for Best Rock Performance for the entire album. With some help from the other two officers, it could've been another Police classic to rival Synchronicity, which is their apex.
Trust me, when you hear songs like, "I Can't Stop Thinking About You", "50,000", "Down, Down, Down", and (esp.) "Petrol Head", you'll swear you're hearing news songs by The Police (the accompanying drums and guitars sound very Copeland/Summers-esque; as if Sting were channeling the kind of energy and style that they group as a whole did from 1977-1984/2007/08). "One Fine Day" and "Heading South On The Great North Road" are instant classics. The only problems with the album are that it should have been longer (2 more songs would've been perfect), a little more musically detailed (guitar solos and instrumental interludes between the verses and after the codas, please!), and produced with a little more flourishes on some of the tunes. The album was recorded in less than 4 months, so, there's somewhat of a raw punkishness to it some of the time. But, the first time I heard the CD/LP, I said, "So, why didn't Sting just call up the boys and ask them to play and collaborate with him on this rather very Police-like collection of songs? This is basically what many of us fans wanted to receive after the glorious Certifiable Tour and CD/LP/DVD. I guess this is the next best thing? I'm getting my Police fix pretty much while listening to this..." After a handful of listens, the entire album grows even more on you. The Deluxe and/or Tour Editions are the best to own, since the alternate takes/versions of a couple of songs are featured, along w/ a recent concert. Enjoy!
I checked his new stuff out last night and like it pretty well, glad he kind of returned to his Police roots!. I can think of a hundred reasons why they wouldn't amp up for a "reunion" record (though Andy Summers would have been up for it). Don't remember who but some super group member (Phil Collins I think) said when a group that big get back togetherfor a new record, it's such a big deal, hype train, business, expectations, etc. Agreed there are some production things with 57th & 9th that make me wince but it's still great "simple song writing 101" from someone who is a legend at it.
Dominic miller and Vinnie Colaiuta do sound different then Andy and Stewart but I get where people say it could sound like a police album - Vinnie is very much a polyrhythmic drummer like Stewart . Stings bands always have been killer . I am a huge fan of those musicians and of course Andy and Stewart
unnecessary ass comment, The Police were one of (if not) the greatest bands of all time. Stewart is one of my all time heroes, and so is Andy, but sting wrote 80% of the music. Not to mention his solo career has produced some of the greatest music ever made by anyone. Know your place, for our sake.
Única banda que não foi destruída pelas drogas, mas foi pelo ego inflado de dois dos seus geniais músicos...por Andy summer ainda estaria produzindo e excursionando com a banda.
Olá à paz a luz e ó amor de nosso senhor Jesus Cristo a todos e uma boa noite a todos, este é o bom e velho Rock Roll dos anos 70 é 80 valeu the police um abraço a todos fiquem todos com o nosso Deus
Modern audiences are god awful. No passion, no real excitement and ,in the case of a band like The Police, thirty years older than they were when the band was really hot.
It’s called aging. People don’t have the same energy when they get older. Also, how many damn times can you sing the same song? And what’s wrong with Money?
The story goes that when The Clash and The Police were filming in England, Always Joe and Paul were asking Sting and Andy how to play some chords of The Police songs.
Stewart Copeland's band is pretty fantastic. 🥁🎶
I love the arragement of sticking Reggatta De Blanc in the middle of Can't Stand Losing You. I thought it was something special for this reunion / farwell tour, and then I saw a video recorded in 1979 where they did the same arrangement.
Regatta De Blanc developed out of Can't Stand Losing You.
Stewart Copeland's drumming is simply on another level. The guy is a beast! Hes like a fine wine, he just gets better with age
He is a badass... I saw the Police 3 times and even in the early days Stewart was the visual center of the show and he always plays like his hair is on fire but it is always very refined and composed...

Agreed
He has one of the most interesting and unique playing styles out there.
@gregkulig8463 Stewart Copeland such a genius and master drummer.......such a nice person 🥳❤️👌🕺🥁🥁🥁🥁
Stewart Copeland is the backbone if this legendary band.
Completamente de acuerdo
Police se separó por culpa del egoísmo y la envidia de sting
I was so glad to see them live in 2007 on their reunion tour, Huge fan of Stewart Copeland as a drummer myself he has always been one of my favourites
Here to watch Stewart. One camera on the drums only would've been glorious!
I like how Andy Summers plays that rhythmic part on Guitar 🎸. Turning the guitar into a rhythmic instrument 🎸!
@Punch Down King now you’re stretching or reaching! The guitar is only rhythmic if you use it like a Club and bang a drum with it.
@@dynjarren8355You must be a drummer, not a guitar player
@@1guitar12 No, but I do like good drumming.
You don’t think that repeating note he plays in the intro is Rhythmic?
All three of these guys are monsters!! Copeland is simply amazing, one of my favorite drummers ever. Andy plays the perfect part every frikkin time and Sting, well Sting!!!
its called the police, not sting and the police.
TYVM
Kamren Apelskog
Lazy mistake by someone unaware of music history
To fucking right
Well since he wrote 99.9% of the songs and sings lead vocals on every one ...
@@mikeh.8155 Well, since he does, the band's still Called The Police
Stewarts solo at 5:18 is something I can listen to all day
2:03 Good ol' Stewie speeding up just like the old days... now the GOAT knows how to return... that or talkback 🤣
And, if they played again tomorrow, they would sound like this. Great musicians.
Superb. The energy from Stewart unbelievable 👏🙌🙏
Rhythmically, this song is completely out of the ordinary!!!
I absolutely love watching Stewart Copeland perform Live. The man is a Beast, a virtual demon possessed of boundless energy. All 3 of them are just bursting with Talent, the likes of which will never be seen again in our drab music culture of the past 3 decades.
Stewart remain the best drummer ever
もっと早く知りたかったな…まだまだ世の中には最高の音楽が埋まってて知りないことは悲しいけど、こうやってTH-camにULされてるのは嬉しい！

Stewart copeland's percussion is his trademark. Really love to hear those crisp.
Can you believe Andy Summers is 80 years old 🎉🎉🎉
Not here. Here he is 66.
82 I believe. He was born in 1942.
Stewart drum 🥁 machine gun. He rules The Police musikkk always...
One of best rock band ever😊
The couple kissing around the start made me smile.
😢
It’s so cool there are so many videos of The Police playing live, such an amazing band, every performance is unique, so glad they did the reunion tour
Copeland, meu baterista preferido! Lenda!!!
Just love the song “Reggatta De Blanc”,electrifying
3 artists
Pure brilliance
Just listened to it deconstructed, now for the integrated performance. I’m now aware how it all fits together.
WONDERFUL
all you so called drummer watch the master Stewart Copeland
The ending would have been better if Sting looked at the other 2 incredible musicians on stage who made him who he is. His own worst enemy.
Su internet ho trovato una foto di Michael Jackson con i Police.Forse 1980.Bellissima!
copeland's the glue that holds all this crazy shit together. fucking masterful.
Bueno yo solo puedo decir una sola palabra...
FANTÁSTICO
Look ma’!
No autotune
No playback
No cellphones
Después de The Beatles, The Police son los mejores...!!!
Y Pink Floyd?!
@@tobarragl musica de calidad pero no tiene nada que hacer frente a The Police, incluso dentro de lo progresivo es mejor YES
Y Led Zeppelin, Rush, Billy Idol,AC/DC, The Cranberries, Aurora,… tantos artistas mejores que los Beatles. Pero el hecho de no incluir a Pink Floyd, eso dolió. 😢
Sí coincido completamente 😊
The Police, *please* do a new record of simple rock songs like your first 3 records.

Beautiful no one using phones to record
Simply sensational
2:26 - RdB should be 2 hours long song
Amo a ese grupo❤
There of memories. I have loved you for them!
Thats What l Call Music 👍🇬🇧🤣😆❤️
They are like the cream❤
Sensacional
Perfect
tried to sing thi song and play thebass line at the same time...my brain doest function properly
Andy Summers always looks like an annoyed Harpo Marx to me.
最高のスリーピースバンド❤
I don't think Sting knows the concept of a call and response with the crowd, you're supposed to let them reply, Sting! 😂😂
Learned every move from slowing down Eddie Van Halen solos, there are videos of it.
Sting is nothing without them
unnecessary ass comment, The Police were one of (if not) the greatest bands of all time. Stewart is one of my all time heroes, and so is Andy, but sting wrote 80% of the music. Not to mention his solo career has produced some of the greatest music ever made by anyone. Know your place, for our sake.
@@StrodtmanPercussion Its my view.
you tell ‘em Pam
The Police was a perfect storm of overwhelming talent. Every member was crucial.
Única banda que não foi destruída pelas drogas, mas foi pelo ego inflado de dois dos seus geniais músicos...por Andy summer ainda estaria produzindo e excursionando com a banda.
Really wish they would get back together for a final tour
Sting's voice is shot.
That snare sound tho
The Police! ❤❤
Imagine thinking Andy Summers is #200 of 200 guitarists? And Joanie Mitchell is #10. 😅😂
Possibly the worst crowd ever
^ This
COPELAND COMO TE ADMIRO WEON!!!
THE POLICE
NO STING AND THE POLICE
💖
Simply amazing!!!
.
.
.
Like if you're watching in 2024!!!
I suspect that the call-and-response backup vocal is studio recorded, it's not just Andy's sole voice.
you so called fans of the police listen to Stewart in his prime watch the videos and the concert this man is so good
Raymond Cuadrado I agree. Stewart doesn't have the same raw intensity and fills as his younger days and footage anymore
4:13 is that Phil Harvey!!!
Here's to no summers, like the old days.
Eminem vibe at the beginning. Can't Stand Losing You is one of my favorite Police song
...
Sting still using his old Moog Taurus I to trigger those huge bass notes in this one!
Pooky Bum💔
This concert isn't in Argentina, people are dead😅
Sting has his orange Feyd Rautha hair.
note to Sting: there are people on this earth who do not know who you are and have not heard this song before
J Boss
That'll be just yourself then.
LP records and letters? That’s a rarity now. 😢
quick questions, i'm a newcommer to the police, is the drummer and guitarist still active musicians (like keep releasing music i mean by active)
there are some clips of Andy Summers gigs on YT. He also releases albums on a regular basis. Bear in mind he's nearly eighty years old now!!
insanely late but Stewart composes operas and orchestras moreso nowadays, Andy plays in his own bands and plays police tunes very frequently
Pristine.
Is this group plugged in ?
listen to Stewart on this song no this time
Must have been a Sting crowd. Dead as a door nail.
the song was recorded 40 years ago. No surprise that he can't sing it anymore.
he sings it great what
Olá à paz a luz e ó amor de nosso senhor Jesus Cristo a todos e uma boa noite a todos, este é o bom e velho Rock Roll dos anos 70 é 80 valeu the police um abraço a todos fiquem todos com o nosso Deus
SOLO PASÉ A VER A COPELAND Y A ANDY SUMMERS
Police man ... never agen
Bass line in the verse...
why does Andy Summers have a purple tongue?
the reunion tour was a little to sting-ee... if you know what I mean..
The cops
Sting no tendrá plata para comprarse un fender nuevo🤣
Modern audiences are god awful. No passion, no real excitement and ,in the case of a band like The Police, thirty years older than they were when the band was really hot.
none of those people deserved to be there
no comment
For some reason millionaires don't play with the same urgency.
What a twat thing to say..
I think you mean old men
@@lucianoriva6979 Age has nothing to do with it. It's all about hunger.
Such rubbish crowds at these Live Earth concerts no atmosphere whatsoever
Too polished.
Q mal suena
The passion is GONE for Sting. No wonder. He did it for the money.
And you would have done it for free. If you could do it.
Did he tell you so?
It’s called aging. People don’t have the same energy when they get older. Also, how many damn times can you sing the same song? And what’s wrong with Money?
this version is kinda weak compared to other performances on the same Police tour
what's the point on singing high if you're gonna sing out of tune?
They do reggae songs because The Clash does reggae song.
Police, the Worst band ever
Keep on dreaming, its Free..!!
Best band ever
oh boy, you´ve got it all wrong. The clash were never an influence on the police. It was rather the other way around.
The story goes that when The Clash and The Police were filming in England, Always Joe and Paul were asking Sting and Andy how to play some chords of The Police songs.
Girl in the pink top = smoking
Copeland
Great performance. Lame-ass crowd.
