The sound is good also.lol I remember getting in a concert late BUT the folks wanted me in so I ended up Next to the Bass Player lol ON the damm stage hahha
My word...David Gilmour has been my favorite guitar player for decades, but Andy Summers has really been moving up quick the more I rediscover The Police! His interview with Rick Beato is great!
@@lamargent5434 I am guitarist, I met Andy Summers in person, I know perfectly every detail about his guitars and effects, so, I tell you, Andy is very underrated, he deserves a higher place in polls of greates guitarists of all time. I hate when some charts puts Kurt Cobain or Kirk Hammet over Andy.
I have seen several versions of this live,and Copeland changes the rhythm every time his improvisation is amazing. I am a drummer myself and he's th biggest influence on me,his mind is wired differently, he knows he has to provide the rhythm for the song,but it's almost like he is not capable of providing the same beat for a song two nights in succession, just a totally astounding drummer.
He's totally the GOAT. Can't believe this man has been killing it since before I was born. I got to see Stewdaddy Copeland live the other day(He drums for Oysterhead) and he is STILL mind-blowing.
When people ask him about specific fills on their records, he doesn't know because everything is improvised. The exact opposite of Neil Peart but both are icons in their own way.
Amo a Copeland, pero por su forma de tocar, no podría ser el baterista de Genesis, dado que es necesario tocar cada noche de la misma forma. Pasó esto, cuando Brufford rewemplazó a Collins en 1976, y en cada noche, tocaba realmente lo que deseaba. Tony Banks, se enojaba mucho por esto...
It tracks with his jazz background, where the focus is less on writing and remembering deliberate “parts” and more on building a vocabulary of tools you can pull out confidently at any moment. It also comes down to part complexity. You can sit down and “learn” 7 Nation Army in an afternoon, but with something that uses so many ghost notes and embellishments that you’re not going to be able to write down on a sheet of paper, it’s easier to just practice the style of improv and focus on making similar creative decisions to the original.
To me, 1979 will always be defined by 3 Albums, Regatta de Blanc, London Calling and Damn the Torpedoes. Rock n Roll was so healthy back then. This Performance is Beyond Awesome!
I actually got to hang with them, in the early 80s when I was in HS. My Aunt worked and dated the late great Hawaii Concert Promoter Ken Rosene. Rode with them in a limo from Honolulu Airport l. Got to their gig at UH Manoa campus. Watch them do blow before they hit the stage for about 200 fans, did their Outlandos songs, but played their Two new song Message in a bottle and walking on the moon. Nice guys joking around like tourist about luaus and beaches, never at that time, knew how giant rock icons they would become. Still a huge fan and I'm 58.
Ah, in anoza video, Copeland claims in "Police World" there was no room for drug-doing, due to the precision of the instrumentation, etc. haha 🤫 Shhhh, we won't tell him we know the truth. 😉
To this day, I don't think Sting understands that Stewart Copeland's drumming made him an international superstar. NO OTHER DRUMMER played like this back in 1980. Exotic punk????
@@Knight_Boxx Sting would have languished in jazz obscurity forever without The Police. Copeland's astounding unique drumming would have gone somewhere without The Police.
@@ovepayne i saw them once in 1983 in Barcelona (Sting's 32th birthday). Then 10 times in the reunion tour, as i was slightly older😁 and with some money to travel....
@@xaviermartorivilardebo9089 Sounds great, and I´m sorry to say I missed the reunion tour. I´m sure t was great to see them in Barcelona, a city I have visited many times!
Kind of reminds me of when I saw them at My Father’s Place in Roslyn, Long Island (NY) in the late 70s. Literally, it was like having this legendary band play in your living room.
@@_Ben4810 yes, I caught that. What a wonderful interview. Who knew that much of the gear they used that night was “new” as they started making money 😮. After this gig in LI I was hooked on the Police
Wow, didn't think a video this great existed from the early days. Fans so close to the band and clearly visible. Could possibly now be my favourite live performance of MIAB? I think so.
best band in modern times. musicianship, lyrics, lead singer, live performance, charisma, attitude, chemistry, originality, commercial & critical success.
I remember renting "Around The World : The Police" from our local VHS video store, and I never returned it. I can't believe there's more footage from this show. I believe they only used footage of them playing "Born In The 50's" from this show for that film. I'm beyond stoked. To The Police : Thank You so much for this. I hope more unseen footage is being worked on!
I met a member of the Police once but he put me in a cell for the night! I thought I'd ingratiate myself and sang Bring on the Night and Roxanne all night long! Didn't help a bit!!!!
Wow, where was this gem hiding all this time... I've been a fan since about 1980 when I was 13 and I've never seen this before. Nice to know good care was taken of such treasures.
Me siento ahora de la misma manera que me sentí cuando escuché esta canción por primera vez , solo tenia 4-5 años . Tengo 15 y todavía la sigo escuchando , lo bueno nunca muere
Been there, dudes. Done that In Scotland mighty heat of Edinburgh Festival Fringe 1997. Documented In Oulu local museum, with such of many photographs.
Most Police live videos never show near enough Copeland in them. One of five greatest drummers who ever lived; so let’s show 3 minutes of Summer’s frets.
but the songs from this gig appearing in the Around the world video are so lonely. born in the 50´s and Bring on the night....so this is a complete novelty isn´t it??? such a great image and sound, i love it...

You know, I have seen this footage before and it's the best intimate live footage of the Police probably next to the 'Secret Policeman's Other Ball' in Scotland...
It would have broken Sting...the thought of having strong-minded talented musicians playing on his songs that he was not able to fully control or direct would have been simply too much to bear for Sting & his ego....
Let's go to the bar and see this band called the Police. I've been to a lot of punk gigs in bars, but these guys were already one of the most famous rock bands in the world.

👏👏👏

Andy Summers got killer tone going on in this performance. I would expect nothing less.
Tone is indeed killer!
That “round” sound you hear is basically given by his Telecaster through a “MXR Phase 90 Script” and a “Dyna Comp” effect, on Marshall Plexi amp.

The set list is right behind Stewart. Hard to believe this is the only song they filmed.
And I'll take a copy of that t-shirt Sting is wearing. Great hi-quality video.
One of the best bands of all time. Great on record and awesome live.
damn that guitar is beautiful. Andy is a great guitarist! Very under appreciated!

If I'm not mistaken this is the fastest live performance I've seen and heard of this song, the drummer is insane.
@Daniel Drader You honor me...thanks 🤝
I think what he meant is that Sting hated that Stewart was always rushing the songs
Sounds way better faster.
Actually no, I heard much faster versions when they performed the tune during the Ghost in the machine and Synchronicity tour…
@Wid Eye Yes... that's interesting, I had no idea Stewart had formed the band.
Andy kills it!He can even drop out & keep the vibe.This band played using the space between the notes.
I think he dropped his pick lol
I’m a guitarist, probably he dropped it one time, but when he plays the harmonics on the refrain he is fingerpicking..
Song first
Stewart is a master of using space. His beats were the core of the music, and Sting's voice and Andy's guitar meshed and balanced perfectly.
I have seen several versions of this live,and Copeland changes the rhythm every time his improvisation is amazing. I am a drummer myself and he's th biggest influence on me,his mind is wired differently, he knows he has to provide the rhythm for the song,but it's almost like he is not capable of providing the same beat for a song two nights in succession, just a totally astounding drummer.

Late 70's even. This came out in 79 :)

Was crazy over this trio when I was a teenager. Saw them twice and they were awesome. Will forever be a fan of The Police.

As polished as all the Police videos are, this is a welcome glance into when they were really just gigging musicians still figuring it all out.
This is 1980 and they'd been having hits for two years, so they were already well established.
as per usual Stews drumming is something from beyond this universe.. GD Genius
Oh man would I love to be that close watching and feeling the magic : )
Out of the entire Police catalog- my favorite!
Hey
Stewart Copeland played always at maximum. Big bang energy.
Look at this athmosphere. İt just beautiful…
Kind of reminds me of when I saw them at My Father’s Place in Roslyn, Long Island (NY) in the late 70s. Literally, it was like having this legendary band play in your living room.
You do know there's a good bootleg of that show??

Security optional back then, life was good in the 70's and 80's
My god I want to just speak to someone that was at this show so bad. I have so many questions. What a quality live version holy cow.
Great footage. The Police are a tight yet fluid band.
Three years ago I met this gem of a song And I don't stop listening, I liked going to a concert of you I'm 18 years old and I really like your music.
If I'm not mistaken this is the first song on guitar heroes and it's the only song on every edition of guitar heroes.
The crowd was right up on them!
'cause not too big club was... & the Police hadn't too huge publicity in the wide world yet
Still got all my Police vinyl from when I was a teenager back in the eighties. Never saw them live though. Loved all their music.
@Wid Eye hi
Nice view of the setlist tape up behind Stewart.
3:52 one of the best versions of the closing sequence I’ve ever heard. Utterly phenomenal!
This is the best live version ever

No s si es la mejor de todos los tiempos pero yo los empecé. A escuchar en los 80 hasta el día de hoy y son exelentes impecables
Three wonderful boys... The Police
Stewart Copeland: Undoubtedly, the most interesting drummer!
Wow. I never saw this before. Thank you. Release MORE!!!!
Copeland es un maestro brutal de la bateria
Love a band killing it in their club days…

Wished I had seen them at this time when they had all this energy. I finally did see them when they got back together at Dodgers stadium.

Damn wish I could drum like this guy. So much talent from this 3 man band. Awesome
practice...
No había nacido en estas fechas pero mi padre siempre me inculcó el buen gusto musical
A mi también, me es imposible no disfrutar de esta música, incluso a mi hermana menor también se la inculcó
Here's me thinking back in Nov of '79 (Montreal) w/only 1200 in the crowd that I was close to the band.
😁never thought I'd see something new and that great from their best era!
Re releasing Police around the world with extended footage from police in the east. On cd as well .
It would've been awesome had they puta new album out when they reunited. This video is EPIC WOW!!!
It would have broken Sting...the thought of having strong-minded talented musicians playing on his songs that he was not able to fully control or direct would have been simply too much to bear for Sting & his ego....
the fact that the crowd is so close to this huge drumset is crazy
Love Sting and the Police 🚓 had their posters in my locker !
