The Police - It's Alright For You (Kenny Everett Show 1980)

[slimjimx42]

this was music of the day when times were F...U...N... and life made since,because music in 2011 sucks...and thats from hip hop,rock and r&b too!

[ashmiles]

Cheers for this. I used to love the KE show. Dont remember this. I remember they did Spirits in the Material World on there.

[LiveCrueltyFreeNow]

KILLER video ! The Police rock ON.

[SteveShivik]

What kind of bass is sting using?

[adamtzsch]

sometimes "cocaine decisions" are the right decisions

[halocrap360]

this and synchronicity 1 should have been on the set list on reunion tour del dublin

[itsallinthezero]

EPICALLY brilliant track!!!

[inversion66]

Actually the guitar in this video is a Washburn from their late '70s/early '80s Wing series, either an Eagle or a Falcon from the looks of it. Whether he used it anyplace else besides this TV appearance is another question.

[typsypyg]

@inversion66 Wow, thanks for the info, I thought it was maybe an Aria, he had one of those too, I remember reading that back in the day. It looks to be a well-built guitar, judging from the thickness of the body I would bet it might be a little heavy on Andy, Nice axe, looks good with Sting's Ibanez.

[Tamaslammer]

Nobody loves the Police more than me. NOBODY.

Is that alright for you?

xo

[Metaldog67]

@Tamaslammer no because i love em too! i had those friends that HATED them so it made me love them that much more.but in all WE are the greatest fans! lol!

[Tamaslammer]

@Metaldog67

: )

[Metaldog67]

@Tamaslammer thanks the sound is much better!!!

[doublemandala]

@Tamaslammer I wanted to be the police, I soley listened to them from 1986 to 1992, from 15 to 21. If that ain't love, I don't know what is...

[Tamaslammer]

@doublemandala

: )

[cokelalo]

@Tamaslammer are you sure?

[typsypyg]

I think that Andy is playing an Aria Pro, he had a deal with them for a while. He played early Hamers, also, but I don't think the guitar here is a Hamer. Sting is playing one of his Ibanez fretless basses here.

[Nigelxman]

Noooooooooo why did they lipsync such a great song?!! Booo lol

[clemzzz]

is andy playing a westone thunder?

[johnnybeane]

i think it's an Aria Pro.

[WhiteWolfDief]

Now, that's the good thing about miming: Plenty of time for flirting with the camera and jumping like crazy! ; )

Great performance- I always love their energy!

[skisnomobile4ev]

LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[keepitup75]

ME TOO I'M AGREE WITH YOU It's a shame that he didn't want. Some of his decisions are strange because it's a very good song wich could be a single

[mignonhenne]

did sting choose all the singles ?

[keepitup75]

I don't know

[fightersweep]

He probably did! I just thank God that Andy and Stewart had most of the say regarding the set list for the recent tour!! Otherwise I'm not sure how that world tour would have panned out..:-)

[stingfeyd]

I wish the Police would have played this song LIVE!...Stewart and Andy wanted to perform it LIVE during the reuion tour but Sting didn't want to...I love this song!

[lovemybbc]

@stingfeyd Agreed! Copland and Summers should have had more influence for songs like this. But I give credit to all three on this song.... almost like they competed for best performance!! HOW COULD THIS BRILLIANT SONG NOT BE A HIT??? The only downside to the video is they chopped off the last 30 seconds - which is where they had their mojo on high!

[Metaldog67]

I WISH I COULD START FROM12 AGAIN!

[PoliceJam]

Yeah I remember it. Kenny interviewing Sting and then having a bit of a scuffle. I think they also did Bed's Too Big same episode.

[Koshka42]

I remember this episode - I think there was another little bit with Sting and Kenny, or am I remembering wrong?

[jeromega]

1:03 is hilarious

[ichigokisu]

the police are actually one of the best bands ever!!!!! maybe the best!

[AnthonyDelRay]

This was one of their greatest albums. If not THE best.

[Prairiegirl]
