They rehearsed for weeks at Sting's house in Italy before they did all this, but the act of "remembering" is pretty good. I like when Sting says, "Oh yeah, I remember this, I'm 24 and angry."
As a high school drummer, I remember spending hours playing to their first four albums, constantly. Stewart was my absolute favorite! However, after watching this a couple times now, and listening to Stew's constant chirping and chiming in, I can see where he could of drove the other two crazy. Still one of my favorites of all time!
Fortunate to see the The Police live twice in 1980 and they changed my whole view on music.Amazing news they back after 22 years,don't miss them,they still rock and look surprising well for 50 something year olds fantastic...
What a fascinating band, they still are! I love this memory inducing/improvisation part! It's so dynamic and spontaneous! Awesome! Thanks for putting it up!
I think that was pretty good for not having played the song together in 24 years. I did find it amusing how Sting was shouting out the chords and Andy was turning to him as if to say "I know the song asshole!" And the banter between Sting and Stewart is always enjoyable.

How can people say that this is bad?That's absolutely amazing..I forgot how unique were The Police..too many bad Sting's albums..and this is so good and emotional to find words..
Seattle was indeed sweet last night! I big improvement from the Fan Club Dress Rehearsal. I *LOVE* the guitar climax in Reggatta, especially live in person! Excellent blending of modern distortion w/ classic Police!
Saw both shows in Atlanta. These guys are amazing. I need to see them again. Best concert i've ever seen, better than the sychronicity tour because it was the 3 of them, core police!
I grow Up with Police music, my parents played again and again in the end of the 70´s, so my thirth word that I sayed was Roxane. Now I´m a drummer, obviously because stwewart copeland, I can´t belive this, they ara togetter again!!! (come to mexico please guys, please)
Sad enough, as an almost grown up, I don`t get too often impressed by stuff. Anyway, I have always liked the Police and Sting. But after seeing their concert on HD, (2008 south America) I was knocked out by them all. Just wow! Impressed WELL!
You mean the transition into Regatta de Blanc? That ee-ey-oo part has been there since the beginning. They only started invorporating that instrumental into Can't Stand Losing You in '79.
I love this. They are terrific musicians getting back in the groove. By tour's end they will be sooooooooo tight. Hope they record an album. who knows?
Saw them 8/3 in MSG. Great show, Sting mentioned last time they played there was 1982 - was at Shea Stadium with a little known band R.E.M. opened for them.
I was totally obsessed by The Police since Roxanne,I was just 15,never could afford to go to their concerts,OR would have been allowed to at that age by my strict father.Well,thanks Daddy,you saved me money and suffering this sort of stuff,excellent musicians but Sting & Copeland are so self absorbed when they play live,always have been.Andy was ok,(No coincidence that that was my Dads name!!)Much preferred the studio stuff.Still do.
saw them in toronto and i have to say i was surprised with the quality of their performance sting sang really well, too bad my section was REALLY boring i got told to sit down and when i came back from getting a coke, some lady in my section told me that she wouldnt get up for me to get in or out again.
Who cares? They got older, they set all this technical help (and baggage) aside and I see three top notch musicians catching the peak. It IS damn good and they have fun, and me too!

No the other way around, that is in february 2007 before going to Italy for reharsal...

It's hysterical to hear Copeland yelling out the chord changes. Still the gods of rock.
He once said in an interview that it is his job to tame Gordon's ego.
It's amazing how they sound so good and so fresh after all those years. And I grew up with them.
Unbelivable.
Cheers.

Brilliant, love regatta da blanc within this song . Amazing
I still love Andy Summer's strumming, and that twang, is still on point!
These guys were always great together, even if they didn't know it!
Super music Men.

Whoaaa.... it started rusty with Andy forgetting the guitar key, but when it starts, it just flowed. Just MAGIC.....
he really means every single shot on his drum, he is not pretending that he does, he really does

I agree saw them on Wed in Omaha ...best concert I have ever been to..Sting and Copeland were absolutely awesome!
The Police... the only rozzers ur ever gonna love... takes me all the way back to a miss spent youth... fantastic
Yes! We all are! :)
I saw them in NYC Aug. 1 and they were AWESOME! Better than the last time I saw them in '84.
Thanks The Police for back again!!!! Really your music always is the best and no matter what`s wrong you are the Three British Gods
I can't stand losing my voice :)

Stop arguing folks!. Just listen to one of the best rock/pop/ska band in the music history!
Thank god this was the rehearsal.
He was full of it Stewart. Such energy.
Nice song..nice vodeo!:)
Awesome! Raw version but hard Police style! Rules! 💥🤘👏😎🔥Regards from Peru.
thanks for all the music Sting -- and thank you for reuniting these guys! I'd like to see how much money is being donated to chairy from the tour.
"its all coming back to me... i'm 24 and mad"
haha, police are the shit
"It's all coming back to me ... I know what to do ... I'm 24 and I'm mad ..."
Too bloody true!!!
!!the police=my life!!
Outrageous sounds!
Pure Police...
this is my favorite police song
Best Police cover band ever!
such a master maestro. they still managed to pull it while vague remember the whole song.
awesome.
This is jamming at its best...and why not!
Saw them yesterday on Jones Beach Theatre it was awesome.
i was leaning againist the stage at there first two shows at My Fathers place roslyn long island Ny 1978
thank you
Me gusta ver a los 3 pasandola tan bien!!
best version of the song!!!
He's probably the best musician of the three,... STILL.
My favorite version
I saw them last night in Ottawa, freaking best concert ever.
I was there too!
went to see them in cardiff with my wife , thats over a year ago ! such a good night

Saw this in Hollywood so gooooooood!!!!
Copeland is such a STUNNING drummer.
Hes still got chops!!!!!!
Agreed. It was all in good fun. Not to mention Stewart has written several tunes with the Police. Miss Gradenko for one.
Word is that when Sting pissed off Andy Summers, which I'm led to believe was quite often, Andy used to refer to him as Gordon ha ha.
You mean the transition into Regatta de Blanc? That ee-ey-oo part has been there since the beginning. They only started invorporating that instrumental into Can't Stand Losing You in '79.
I think they "can't stand each other"!
I love this. They are terrific musicians getting back in the groove. By tour's end they will be sooooooooo tight. Hope they record an album. who knows?

oooo man oh man i wish they could still tour
sting will never change he will be the police
the perfect band
Maaaan.. That Copeland can drum...... Pure jazz drumming.
this is so entertaining
Nice post, looks like they had a lot of fun.
That's the intro to Reggatta de Blanc as the Police always did when they performed these two songs together live!
the people there were so lucky.
goooo Andy nice jump
I love the Police. The Sychronicity Concert was the first thing I ever owned (still have it.) Honestly though....they look tired.
I was totally obsessed by The Police since Roxanne,I was just 15,never could afford to go to their concerts,OR would have been allowed to at that age by my strict father.Well,thanks Daddy,you saved me money and suffering this sort of stuff,excellent musicians but Sting & Copeland are so self absorbed when they play live,always have been.Andy was ok,(No coincidence that that was my Dads name!!)Much preferred the studio stuff.Still do.
I had a great laugh! They're great:d
I am watching this show for about 5th time but I still laugh when I hear:"Come on guys!" :D

Who cares? They got older, they set all this technical help (and baggage) aside and I see three top notch musicians catching the peak.
It IS damn good and they have fun, and me too!
They're still better than 95% of the rock bands out there.
