Sting-Set them free(live)

[jan8421]

He's amazing! Great singer and musical compositions! When I did dance classes I always danced to his music . . . a natural high!

[TruthFan]

He is such a beautiful man, in every sense of the word.

[pete1210able]

I love this song !

[valeriorotondale2]

Someone know who's the drummer here? And the lady on the bass? Thanks

[dalymc]

yeh it was the wembley stadium (london) concert for nelson Mandela's birthday.(1988)....BEFORE he was released in 1990...SET THEM FREE indeed!!!!!x

[Maritaliendo]

Ha ido mejorando con los años,  es todo un artista. En cada etapa de su vida su música es distinta...me encanta.

[PeterEatonX]

[pms1013]

[steveconn]

He was singing about his hair follicles.

[pms1013]

HAHAHHAA

[vstrangejames]

Ooh, is that Tessa Niles on backing vocals?

[popitinpete]

@vstrangejames Looks like Tessa. She's the MILF on Robbie Williams' Knebworth gig too, but is it her also backing Bowie at Live Aid?

[videoskhristian]

Es un artista que se compromete con el mundo y que no niega las problematicas sociales, quizas no arregle mucho pero tampoco hace oidos sordos

[pretorious700]

very eighties

[rongravy]

I saw the Police when they got back together. Sting is still a GAWD, in case anyone wasn't aware. His son's band was pretty good too...

[onecoatsam]

Was this Verona '88?

[doctone]

No, it's not Verona;)

[rataMacue22]

wtf, sting posing as yanni lololol

[Rlodance]

lol. too funny

[daxthedrummer]

holy mannnn... the video is out of sync with the audio by almost a complete beat! the video is ruined =(

[AlottaStuff]

these old videos are really ahrd to come by so if you can do better we'd all be very appreciative man!

[Aneke1984]

nice hairdo! :-) sting's not running out of hair nowadays, he just has a pretty high hairline and the shorter his hair is, the more you see it.

[mjulio71]

Always loved this era musically, but what's with Sting on stage?! He's dancing and shaking his hair like Luis Miguel, hehe!

[doctone]

Hi,there

It's the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute Concert.

1988.06.11 Wembley Stadium in London

[udlman]

@doctone I was there in the cloud (and rain) . Peter Gabriel was the highlight for me. His performance on 'Biko' was sublime. It was also the few times when the sun came out!

[saga55]

jeau paul cecarelli in fact

[Rodgebi]

Yep it's him, André's brother, great drummer too.

[zornfizza2]

that drummer is André Ceccarelli - Sting used him on the Nothing/Sun tour.

[Mirkkoa84]

That's not Andrè,i personally know him,in his list of collaborations has Sting,but i don't think that's Andrè in this clip.

Also i've saw all his pics and he never looks like in the clip!

[mart3442]

I dont recognise the drummer, this is from Nelson Mandelas 70th birthday celebration/rally at Wembley stadium. !988 I think.

[kirk7524875248]

Actually, I don't recognize him either, but he's pretty fucking solid, eh? I kinda miss the old Sting, no offense. Here he still had a LITTLE of that "revolutionary" in him! Now he's all glitz.

[olemunati]

Omar Hakim. And yes, the man is SOLID.

[lulu9698]

That's not Omar Hakim.

[kirk7524875248]

Damn! Fucking solid rhythm section! Who is that on drums? Is that Simon Phillips! Deeeeep in the pocket! Wow!

[kirk7524875248]

Live Aid?

[randallcraig]

I want to tell you something here....You cannot,...cannot.....cannot...­be on this earth with out free choice....I am strong for you....I will be your strength during this choice.....but I cannot help you make this choice...make it..or not....I love

[mookielovesgod]

looks like a good concert to go to

[fiipas]

Why don't you try and listen to an amazing singer, just search: "Ricardo - If You Love Somebody (Sting)"

[goodg9]

I like Sting's hair in this video. And they're all so happy.

[Xixo]

drugs make wonders...

[IzzyD42]

Great performance, bummer about the video being out of synch. Can that be corrected? Sting looks very much like a poet with that long hair, it's just too cute for words the way he keeps tossing it around! (;-P BTW, the guy on the backdrop is Nelson Mandela, yes?

[oleostap]

Branford is amazing:)))

[beagleguitar]

LOL .. the video is out of sync, and it makes sting look like he's hitting the tambourine on beats 1 & 3. I know he's white, but he's not THAT white! haha

[HammondB200]

you're just as stupid as those stupid neo-nazis.

[beagleguitar]

what the hell are you talking about? The video's out of sync. It's not my fault, and it's not Sting's fault. It's just funnyt that it's making them accent beats 1 and 3. Why the hate?

[HammondB200]

i know it's out of sync. but it's stupid to associate him being white he cannot hit the tam on time.

[beagleguitar]

Geez ... whatever. You're clueless.

The video is OUT OF SYNC, and it's MAKING IT LOOK FUNNY. Is that so hard to understand? What the hell?

[rudeboyjohn]

I agree with you, he does look gay in this video

[bazookasax]

dont hate masterbate

[Justino111]

dude, if you cannot understand a friendly ironic comment, please be quiet.

[shorrosh]

definitely NOT Omar Hakim

[yamazuki600]

he bleached his skin before the show.

[doubts]

Not seen this band line up. Different sound.

If you havn`t heard it, get the live "Bring on the night" double cd. Mind you, with his position after the police he`s never struggled for musicians

[merrilee53]

oooohhhh..... wow.. move and dance.... he is awesome..

[doctone]

Than you so much for your exciting comments!

I'm so glad!!

Enjoy!

[merrilee53]

awesome words/ lots of movement and vibrations/ Thanks for the video

[niklasmehonic]

who is the drummer?

[Rodgebi]

Jean-Paul Ceccareli, French musician.

[PhunkyFaroah]

My man Omar Hakim's on drums

[PhunkyFaroah]

My fault I thought it was...Im so used to thinking he played for Sting I didn't look at the ending of the clip lol

[stampedonback]

I seem to remember he started his set at this concert playing a few songs, just him and his guitar, no band. Are those songs anywhere on Youtube?

[Lum5502]

Wow! STING's long hair!Amazing.(゜o゜)

[FlorenceAshley]

I wish I can get a copy for these live videos...doubtless it was a high peak for Sting..

[miguelanda]

Says Kenny K. plays in this clip, only see his image, in a huge poster, probably he is 3 feet under, when the Blonde Dude was singing this stuff, sorry, for all of us, Kenny was such a tastefuul musician and Key´s player. He wiil be missed, and remembered trough his work, INCLUDING the one with Sting(y). Later, Gaters

[Odintaker]

6,660 views... this video is SATANIC!

[SocialForces]

How about some South African music to celebrate the overthrow of apartheid.

[justynaz]

Already forgot he was so young....

[saga55]
