Not many bands back in the day played like they did ‼️ the Police were a phenomenal band , with a winning formula , fantastic drummer and guitarist, amazing vocals from a gorgeous singing bass player songwriter frontman . They hit the ground running . Brilliant band ❤
Been to three Police concerts. This is the best description of what it's like to have seen them in concert. lol. But you know, there are no words that could ever explain their concerts, you had to be there.......
What a truly original beat. When have you ever and since heard a beat like this in popular music? Muted snare, bass drum on the two and four. Reverb all over the kit. Very cool sound
Stewart has described the similarities between Reggae and a rhythm Ballide (don't know how to spell it) that he was exposed to growing up in Beirut. The muted snare and high tuned Tom accents definitely have a middle Eastern hand drum vibe going on.
I remember driving to the Hartford Civic Center on the interstate and about a half mile out from the downtown exit were a couple of guys holding "I need Police concert tickets" signs for that night's concert. WTF? I had planned to buy a couple of tickets at the civic center from a scalper. Oh no, I wasn't missing this concert. Got my tickets. Paid dearly for them, lol.
A trio of pure genius and fiery enthusiasm and blazing dexterity ! The police are one of my favorite bands . The music they made in a short time span is legendary and will always be special !
gdub454 Stewart had his style for sure ! However the legendary studio drummer Vinnie colaiuta has some similarities with Stewart in their playing , both are very polyrhythmic drummers . It's no surprise Vinnie has been stings drummer for years on tour . Vinnie was frank Zappa's favorite drummer
Well you see ,this is a band jamming and jamming well... not afraid to play an original idea and shape it to performance level... and that’s whayou gotta do folks .... work those grooves
Thank you for these great live uploads, EiDy Lukošius. One of my favourite bands ever. I enjoy watching Stewart Copeland as much as I love listening to him.
@@cor2250 he couldn't be a musician if he thinks without andy and stewart there is no police . If he is one well then he is not much of one. Like or hate sting , he wAs the face ,sex appeal, songwriter, singer. Frontman and to say otherwise shows your maturity level and musical intelligence. I say this as a drummer, pianist idolized copeland a while back when i was in a police coverband
backthan i was 11 years and the biggest police fan of all times. and as they entered the stage it was like birthday, x mas and making love all in one. this was a great concert- powerfull, experimental, harmonic, and all three in best conditions.back in those days something miraculous like this band just could happen, cause our minds/souls were still in the right places and not "translated" into digital grip of a puplic authority wich is designed by headfucked nobodies/nerds, at least ourselfs!!!
Andy and Stewart make this look like pure art! Listen to th sound of those strings and the timing of that drumming. No put down to Sting but he got enough of the publicity. These two guys are geniuses! I loved this group then, and I still have all of their shit, in constant rotation!
bob marley est un dieu vivant, dans 2 siècles il sera encore décrit comme une légende , a toi aussi manu bonne année et ta famille, vive bielsa, el loco !
Love the trippy delay jam in the middle
If a band - like The Police - sound better in concert than they do in the studio - that means they're talented !!
Their albums weren’t over produced like many were. Allowed them to open the songs up on stage
Just three talented musicians the best band ever
💯 agree!
@@robertk2007...until Synchronicity, that is!😅
Stewart drums amazing !0:35
No band today can play like this.
Yup
Yes

The drum part is not so easy
Copeland is truly a genius on the drums
Love the echoing effects Andy uses. Killer bass line. Stewart doing what he was born to do.

Copeland is just god
😂

Amen

Roxy Music used the same as well, but not to this effect
Reggae

gah....genius. their sense of rhythm and tone is what makes the band such a fascinating live act. so much to soak in and learn....
Stewart Copeland. Instantly recognizable drum sound. An absolute BEAST on the kit.
No other band like them

sweet!!...this is when the Police were the Police...and to this day..nobody gets more from a hi-hat and snare drum than S. Copeland..
