omg the only good part of that was that slowish part that isnt in the studio version of the song other wise it sounded terrible cept for stewart. the effects blew
While this certainly isn't the best version I've ever heard, it still isn't bad considering The Police hadn't legitimately played together in 17 years.
Absolutely awful, sluggish, cover band version. Read Summers' autobiography, he thinks he's a God. Unwatchably poor guitaring on this version proves his mortality!

People should stop comparing this version of Roxanne to the Grammy's version - it's pointless. Musically and technically, this kills the Grammy's version, but the Grammy's version was a forerunner to a world tour and had more of a raw. "live" feel to it. They are both fantastic in different ways - that's a testament to a band capable of producing genius.
n 1985 a girl named jenny was walking by a nearby river.a mesterious stranger killed her by stabbing her in the heart and hanging her in his/her closet. before killing her she/he said "hanghangeara". now that u have read this, she will appear in ur closet hanging there with her glowing red eyes. to be safed repost this to 3 other videos
young drummers take note, this is how u play the drums. andy needed to use another effect on this. roxanne is made to be played on a 61 Tele, by and brit named Andy

Thanks for posting this and the other R and R Hall songs. I had lost my videotaped versions. Where has anyone officially heard of a tour. I have only seen confirmed the Grammy appearance
I'm glad Sting came to his senses at last. Granted Sting's talent stretches beyond rock & roll, but The Police provide his best element for him to flourish. I hope the tour does well and that Andy and Stewart make a ton of money. They deserve it.
At first I thought this was an Andy Summers shreds video

I agree. Copeland is an amazing drummer, definetly one of the best. His style is unique, his hits are sharp, and he knows how to use his set well.

Save yourself the pain and just watch the grammys version. THAT was the real police reunion.
Back and sounding better than ever!

They sound like SHITE. It's *obvious* they haven't played together in 20 years. And equally obvious is the tension on that stage.

Don't under estimate Andy Sommers, saw him play with his Jazz combo a few years back, the dude can play.

Their best moments live are when they open up with lots of space and improv. I love the middle section where they do that.
