dingue! sa fesai a peine 3 ou 4 mois qu'il ce connaissaient!

[dalymc]

rare clip....thx so much...with henri...the original guitarist!

[pendragonU]

That was before they went blonde polished.Trashing it good noize.Padovani was lonesome-ranger,like Ian Dury,too much character for Sting's ego.They switched to someone fine too,a lead guitar but quiet second fiddle.Something almost impossible to find,like George Harrison=Andy Summers

[StingNyC]

@pendragonU c'est surtout que Padovani était et sera toujours mauvais.

[candythebee]

@pendragonU andy summers couldnt stand padovani, and was way better.

[pendragonU]

@candythebee I never said Andy wasn't better, but more quiet personality to Sting's. They could have used another guitar anyway to round more sounds. Even Lennon wasn't a loss to George Harrison's lead even if sometimes he made mistakes too.

This is like a bad acid trip x

[pierrebarraud]

It's Andy Summers on the solo ? Padovani can't play it with this sounds ! ?????

[stingfeyd]

This song is Clouds in Venice. Music written by Stewart and Lyrics written by Sonja Kristina

[sartrekk]

What song is this?

[peacebeuponyou70]

That's Sting, ever talented artist.

[xensboy]

Mesmerizing. The first ever video showing The Police live!!!

Sting's bass playing is already brutally strong and confident, really exciting. His moves seem a bit strange, but still compelling.

Thank you so much for uploading this precious document.

Henri !!!!!!!!!!!

[jazzinholondon]

I WAS THERE!

I´m at the bar, between two gigs, and this guy I've never heard of comes to me, we have chat, share a beer and I ask him "What do you do?". A young and rather drunk Sting replies: "I'm with the Police!".

COOL OR WHAT?

I came to all the gigs, and saw Wayne County, Pere UBU, Generation X, probaly other stuff, but it was quite a while ago!!!

[fantasticphantom]

That's a great Sting bit!

[Japperight]

Must be the only video recording of the early Police incarnation..Interesting but musically lacking ...Must be glad that they got rid of that French pretender

[cokelalo]
