He sounds pretty hoarse here, his voice took a beating back in the day but he always said "fuck it, lets roll"...otherwise a great performance minus the 'backup' singers.
Man, you forget what a tight 3-piece these guys were..Copeland's little fills and half-beats...as harmonic and melodius live as they were in the studio. Outstanding.
Copeland IS the band. Great underrated drummer. Stink may have written most of the songs, but has very little range to his voice. All the songs are in the same key.
This never gets old. LOVE the snap and pop of the snare.
The dude (Copeland) is tight. Matter of fact, all three are tight, esp. given the warp-speed tempo against the backdrop of the syncopated bass and guitar. One lapse of attention, and you'd be a mile behind before you knew it.
I think Sting just did this (fast tempo) to try and piss off Copeland. But if so, guess who got owned?
"That Chick," indeed! I saw an version of this song at a concert about 20 years ago and I still remember her...compelling for some reason, eh. Anyways, the memory whirled back in and I was looking for that same footage. I think Sting freeks out at some guy in the audience...I wonder if it was That Chick's date. Z
why must stewart copeland consistently play like god? i love the ginger girl trying to play what he plays its hilarious. but at the same time that must be an honor for stewart. how often do you see people really focused on whats going on on drums in pop music? thats when you know you've got something special
and if i could go back in time id find away to get dance lessons for alot of these people.

@netterstyl I think its the other way around because in the beginning sting would always complain that Copeland played way too fast
