Synchronicity II - Andy Summers Cam

[JosePoliceFan]

I liked so much how Andy plays the guitar and his master for using effects. Amazing!

[tapkae]

Stew's about to go off the f'n rails!

[toddlertom01]

Shit! this is nice one!

[dpa2008]

Es la camara de Andy... si...... PERO LO QUE TOCA COPELAND ES INCREIBLE!

[MaroMeshuggah]

1:33 stewart-WTF !

[robertk2007]

neil peart said the police were one of his favorite bands and influenced RUSH in the late 70's and 80's

[unclegrub]

This is a neat song. I can't say Andy Summers is THE greatest guitarist, but... What I consider the mark of a great guitar player is how they can bond what they compose into a song to make it unique to that song, and no other. When you hear the first few bars, you know immediately what song it is. He does a great job. Songs like "Mississippi Queen," "Gimmie Three Steps," "Layla," and others have the same trait. That's why Vai, Malmsteen, Satriani, and Wylde never have huge hits. They don't bond.

[tailback43]

Andy is brilliant. Stewart if fucking slaying it behind him.

[carribou92]

@1:35 Copeland changes his drumsticks <3

[smoothprox]

This show was taped for an HBO special. I saw them in Lexington KY the following night. 1984 I believe.

[nmssis]

Great video...Thanks!

[foroparapente]

Did he actually smile at the audience on 2:00? Not much body language form him except showing his knee to Copeland :-D

The guitar action is so different to the tabs I have found on internet...fascinating chords.

[philritter21]

Hes really interesting to watch.

[mikelovesdeb]

S.C. slow down bro on the drums,,,,give Sting time to sing,,,,,,LOL

[Keeheek]

this is the coolest video on youtube. andy's the shit

[ledzeppelinfan9393]

Andy Summers and Alex Lifeson. The two most underrated guitarists of all time. 

[AVman9]

@ledzeppelinfan9393 Alex Lifeson is my number one influence for rhythm playing. No one else can make bizzare off-the-wall chord patterns sound as good as he does.

[chany4101]

@AVman9 Try Dave Matthews, he plays freaky chords too. But hey, Alex Rocks.

[rd40082]

@AVman9 And he is also a good jazz guitar player.

[Blackshayde]

@ledzeppelinfan9393 Please don't put Andy Summers in the same class as Alex Lifeson, Lifeson is so much better, so much more creative, talented and innovative. Lifeson can throw a brilliant guitar track over anything Geddy Lee and his bass and keyboards throw at him, and can shred with the best of them with blistering speed.

[meccaturbo]

@Blackshayde Dude, we'll put him in whatever category we want to. Nobody cares what you think. The fact of the matter is that both Andy Summers and Alex Lifeson are excellent guitarists. You, on the other hand are a petulant narrow minded fool with no knowledge of music.

[meccaturbo]

@Blackshayde We'll put Andy in any category we want. Fact remains, he and Alex Lifeson are both equally great guitarists. It's obvious that your knowledge of music is extremely limited.

[bopboptutu]

hes playing like a devil. hes chordings are out of this world. all the people in the world love this man. while most people fear sting.

[gramcanyon]

This is amazing. There was no-one cooler than Andy, especially witht his tele and fancy bomber jackets.. I always wanted to be him when I was about 5.  Nothing much has changed.

Great idea this andy summers cam, he's the only one worth watching anyway.

[catfacecathead]

So ... in the West a man who has tamped down his primal urges too long is about to snap ... and in Scotland a society which has tamped down primal urges too long is about to meet a primal symbol which will no longer be denied? And these events are linked at the level of the collective unconscious and have a non-causal but still meaningful relationship? Yes?

[B2B76]

Andy, Sting & Stewart, the best trio ever? Wish they would make new music together, bet it would still knock any of todays bands out of the park.

[junkieinformant]

So many good aspects of the police. Andy's high pitched, atmospheric guitar playing is so signature. Stewart's tightly pitched drum heads as well. Not to mention Sting can slam the bass.

Glad I didn't spend the cash for the reunion concert....all the songs sounded like they were on sleeping pills.

[Adamodevadam]

If in Music TV stations jazz was more popular, and young people could watch not only lady ga ga, Andy Summers wouldn't be so underrated musician... Sad but true.

Love you Andy (and your telecaster) ;D

[badguitarp]

I WANT THAT GUITAR SO BAD

[coreyagraph]

he plays on a different wavelength

[masayonagatomo]

Thank you so much for sharing this!!!!

[ccy2]

Great job Andy! Stewart is playing a bit fast though...

[WebNet63]

He the man!

[robariens]

Best Police number ever... thanksss so much for the post!!! :D

[HiItsSmeee]

Thank you so much! This video meets my sentiments exactly--I'd so much rather watch Andy Summers, and only Andy Summers!

[Riddler95]

Andy Summers = The Greatest Guitarist Of All Time.

Enough said.

[AVman9]

i wouldn't go that far, but he is good.

[AVman9]

@meccaturbo uh...I'm not entirely sure what you're so pissed about.

[rjst09]

@Riddler95 andy summers most underrated guitarist ever, awesome

[Wiltallica]

nobody knows his name

[rjst09]

Maybe nobody under 25 who also does not play guitar.

[shinigami7777]

@Riddler95

he's deffinitely not the best....

he's good though

[paulstearne]

@Riddler95 Not *that* good!

[justjoan82]

I saw them in Orlando during this tour! They were incredible. I love Andy Summers! Thanks for the video! :)

[sid77777]

amazing guitar change at the begining.....nice. 12 string to 6 sting...

[AVman9]

Andy's roadie certainly did his job well!

[DocEleven]

@AVman9

All us Pro's do.

[thepolice281]

Awesome video. I can finally see Andy playing the guitar .Thanks for posting up this awesome video. Andy rocked the guitar.

[RTE101]

look at those guns!! stewart is so young

[sid77777]

where is the roxanne performance from this concert avman? i thought it was quite good....not anywhere on youtube i think

[AVman9]

i only uploaded the multi-angle cam tracks, of which there were three. this, don't stand so close, and invisible sun.

[symboitesRul3]

Lol I love this version. Andy and Stewart should have their own TV show. Their so hillarious.

[juanbarros88]

andy is much better in his solo career, better music.... I like Police but Fusion is so much better

[ruffian1868]

How cool is it not seeing Sting ! I like it. Do we have anything like this in reality ?

[AVman9]

yeah Sting does get a lot of attention sometimes. what do you mean do have this in reality?

[pfeitosa]

Thank you uploader!

Never saw this cam before.

So cool to see not only Andy but also Stewart very well.

[sid77777]

thanks!

[sid77777]

I went to the recent reunion tour.... the effects were not there! This is Summers at his peak if you ask me...Big thank you for posting this....been waiting for it! :)

[rjst09]

andy is awesome- great tone

[weaponx214]

awesome, summers back in the day! he doesn't play it like this anymore.

[AVman9]

i know. it kinda sucks. :(
