Great band, great tour (Synchronicity 1983, as was the Ghost '81'-82 tour, preceded by the the smaller but just as energetic Zenyattta '80-'81, tour).
Only bands like U2 (360, Zoo '91-'93, Josh Tree '87, tours), the Stones (Tattoo You '81-'82, Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle -'89-'90), Who ('82-'86), Fleetwood Mac ('77-'79 [Rumors],['87-'88 Tango]), Bruce (Born '84-'85), Halen ('81-'82, '83-'84), and Guns (Illusion '91-'93) are comparable.
I believe, in terms of sold-out, +40,000 attendance crowds (not bad on a consecutive day-in-day-out [basically] tour for back then), Comiskey Park, Hollender Stadium, Sullivan Stadium, Shea, JFK Stadium, CNE Stadium, Olympic Stadium, Hollywood Park, Oakland Stadium, Orange Bowl, Tangerine Bowl, Carrier Dome, Aloha Bowl, Melbourne Grounds, and others I've missed.
OK here goes: i love a good mystery or to be exact revealing them the words to this song actually explain why the speed of light is what it is take a look at The Real Reason Why People Defend Religion on YOUTUBE
The Police: all the proof you ever needed that the English (Sting and Andy) hate working and take every opportunity they can to make foreigners (Stewart) do as much of the work as possible for them
43 years old.... was 15 when I saw my all-time favourite band in 1983 in Philadelphia in 100 degree heat. They were supposed to play at the Spectrum but decided to make it a JFK Jam with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, REM and Madness. They killed the whole concert by playing in 100+ degree heat. I was so upset!!! However, The Police are and will be my favourite band ever...................
I saw them during this tour in Iowa City. I wish I could have seen them more but I was too young. I remember somebody threw a huge soda cup full of ice and drink at Sting, and he swerved to miss it just in time!
My favorite band by far. Stewart Copeland is one of my favorite drummers, and Sting, an awsome talent. But, Andy Summers always gets short changed for his amazing talent & contribution. The Police would have NEVER created such a sound w/o Andy. Extremely underrated guitarist! The Police were successful because they wanted to have their own sound...not 20 minute guitar & drum solos like every other band. Andy played for the band, which is why I admire him so much.
@LORDOCTAGON You're kidding right? Andy Summers has more talent in one finger that Sting as in is whole body. Summers just isn't more recognised because he doesn't have a big ass ego like sting. Just look at this video. Andy is just standing there playing while sting is jumping around like a maniac
@Paulie2342 You jackass. Summers is fantastic, but don't say shit about Sting. Who do you think wrote all this great music, and WHO continues to do so on a grand scale to this day? Let me know when it costs $800,000 a night for you to perform.
@Paulie2342 You must not realize how hard it is to write good ORIGINAL music that defines genres. I agree, The Police should equal Summers+Sting+Copeland, but just because Sting is the most recognizable of the Three doesn't mean he doesn't deserve it. Sting wrote ALL of the hits, and Stewart and Andy adapted those said hits to create the Police sound. They all worked together and ultimately contributed to the band's popularity equally. Sting just gets all the notoriety because he's the frontman.

Aug 24, 1983- Saw them at JFK Stadium (RIP) in Philly. 100+ degrees, hoses on the crowd. I stuffed my 35 mm camera w/ a telephoto lens down my pants- I was still too far away to get close ups.... still have the pics though! My second concert ever.
About 10 seconds into this video, Stewart Copeland begins to illuminate, like some sort of mythical god! All hail Percussus, along with Sting (& his Technicolor Dreamcoat).
Stewart Copeland and the Police he started the band and Sting's ego took it over! Stewart is my drum guru he's the greatest I have his signature snare drum!!!
One of my favorite if not, favorite Police tunes. Stewart is a drummer's drummer having created a unique style of playing and influenced generations of drummers that followed. And yes, music videos just don't show enough of the drummer, it's really the camera guy/video editor not understanding the importance and role of the drummer, it's not just about the front guy.
@clacas1 ouch, you have tinnitus, the guitar solo on this tune is world class and sting wrote the best bass line of all time when he composed the bed's too big without you, a song about your gf, try and name a better bass line ;)
@clacas1 Totally know what you mean: I mean, Sting did well for himself, but his solo work never had the fizzy energy of the police--"the missing link--Stewart Copeland". But, let's be fair Sting has a unique voice and a good ear for pop melody--and Summers understood how to create amazing textures and layers. He actually has the chops to just wail.
@drfreebird777 Sting changed pace a bit, but his solo work is his real genius. Live in Berlin is just off-the-charts FANTASTIC. His new version of End of the game is the OPUS of his entire career.
Copeland put the motor in this band. Incredible energy, synchopation here.
Sting was good here but his voice is just starting to show the signs of destruction. It never recovered from the Synchronicity tour.
Andy is really horrible here.
I saw them on this tour and I regard it as the best concert I've been to. I saw their reunion tour a few years ago and while it was nostalgic, they were shadows of their former selves.
- Sting was hooked on the Colombian go-go powder pretty good by this point. Andy's never been that good live. He was a professional session player prior to being in the Police, but his knowledge of chords and music theory is rarely matched in the world of rock/pop and that had a huge impact on their success. Stewart was just playing as fast as he could to piss off Sting...
to nobodysfool454; I'd try and describe the "Moeller technique" but it'd be simpler to just go to wikipedia and type in "moeller method." There's a very detailed description there.
@ozBiz2 great comment, you're right. a kick ass rudimentary type drummer that plays it like it should be played. he uses a lot of the "Moeller technique". this guy was at the top of the game especially with the single "walking on the moon", with that ripping moeller technique on the high hat
stewart copeland is a solid drummer. One of the greatest... but i would definitely have to disagree in saying that he's "the best" drummer in the world. I can name two drummers right off the bat that could easily play stewart's beats but stewart probably couldn't do their beats justice... Carter Beauford and Neil Peart
copeland's spend a large part of his childhood in egypt. his father worked for the US embassy (classified) in beirut, the arabian single percussion drum held underneath the arm caught his attention, the drum called TABLA was in every band and you can see it and hear it in Belly dancing video. made of fish skin played by quick hands it produces a nice sharp beat, caught steve's attention and from there he pursued drumming in his high school band until he became one of the best drummers in rock.
You should watch the Oakland v1983 video of this. It was before Sting gave up after Shea Stadium, so it was like the old Police with the new songs. Great.
ANDY SUMMERS is the worst. guy is SOOOOOOOO LUCKY to have met sting and stew. sting and stew are great. summers is average for playing in such a great band. summers is a basic ska guitarist
I've never been a fan of this song, usually preferring their earlier work, but sometimes hearing a band and watching a band are two different things. What incredible power and energy they had.
@necroshyha he was the first to mix reggae percussion with rock, ska, pop,punk, he has incredible speed and technic, his very known for his rimshots, you can tell by the sound when it´s stewart playing. for me the best of all times, his sound is unique he uses all the pieces the other drummers use, but he sounds a lot better then them. hope i helped.
Classic 80! Clasiic Police! Classic rock! I loved how this hit had many dancing in the aisles. I also loved those cute costumes from the lady back-up singers.
One of the most influential drummers of the 20th century, I'd say. It's shame you only get to see him a couple of nanoseconds in this video. It would be great to see him play the whole song.
@ThePetrohaulic while you're moving onto rush, what about bill bruford or alan white?...yea i know the list becomes endless from there, cuz there's the guy from rare earth too. ever heard the long version of 'get ready'?
@SAMB1515 So is Stewart Copeland. So is Mitch Mitchell. So is Bonzo. So is anyone who leaves such a mark on your mind to make you think, "FUCK ME. Is this guy even HUMAN?" :)
Awesome rendition. :)

@necroshyha he was the first to mix reggae percussion with rock, ska, pop,punk, he has incredible speed and technic, his very known for his rimshots, you can tell by the sound when it´s stewart playing. for me the best of all times, his sound is unique he uses all the pieces the other drummers use, but he sounds a lot better then them. hope i helped.

Classic 80! Clasiic Police! Classic rock! I loved how this hit had many dancing in the aisles. I also loved those cute costumes from the lady back-up singers.

One of the most influential drummers of the 20th century, I'd say. It's shame you only get to see him a couple of nanoseconds in this video. It would be great to see him play the whole song.

@vennootje You have to put Neil Peart in that list as well. Both Neil and Stewart are the best I have ever heard.

I completely agree. Stewart Copeland and Neil Part (Rush) are two of the best drummers in the world.

Formed in 1978 by I983 the Police ruled the world. They were the biggest and coolest band of 80s.

I was at this concert, with Brian Ivey, and it was awesome, filmed at the OMNI, which no longer exists. Awesome acoustics!

Was this at Hollywood Park? I remember they had a show there in 83 or 84 I believe.

@SAMB1515 So is Stewart Copeland. So is Mitch Mitchell. So is Bonzo. So is anyone who leaves such a mark on your mind to make you think, "FUCK ME. Is this guy even HUMAN?" :)
