Roxanne.

[dtdyvr]

Astonishing!

[ghostinthemachine44]

This voice is unmatched. Totally unique.

[johnhwilliams]

Awesome!!!!



[DCPPC92]

Just... an unbealivable voice

[bhuvadav]

Who has his voice? it's unreachable.. a shining blade who cut the skies..

[Nigelxman]

@bhuvadav Wow...brown nose much? :-)

[homegrowntwinkie]

@Nigelxman It's all good man. Jim Morrison's voice is like a fluffy cloud who flosses my ears.

[billyconnearly]

I saw and heard Sting live - make no mistake he is and was a musical genius!

[cocoon2002]

ouaip j'ai l'album vinyl collector :The Secret Policeman's Other Ball avec cette chanson mythique et celle de bob geldof : "i dont like monday". Ce léger craquement dans les enceintes régler au max, que du bonheur.....

[robmops]

was ist bloß mit der musik passiert.

schaut euch mal bzw hört die heutigen charts an.

was sind die gegen sowas?

[ladysmanizhere]

i love this song best song ever and really good voice

[knockerqk]

epic ending!!! roxanneooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AkiraSendo12]

6 personnes ont des problemes d'audition!!!

[GiovaniB52]

No joke ... This has to be Sting's best version of Roxane EVER ..I"v listened to many versions of Roxane but this is definetly his best

[imthefirestarter1]

wow . bring me memories ty

[steffenbrix]

It's such a shame that this video runs a half-note too fast... it does that on the DVD also. But I have it on an old VHS in the right speed :)

[paulstearne]

@steffenbrix Know exactly what you mean. It just sounds a bit silly being that tiny bit higher.

[guzvei]

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bjornlooser]

A master of his craft here

[paulrecords]

Amazing Version!!!!

[Matess9010]

one of my favourite live performances!

[elmarco1984]

Just me or did all Geordies look the same in the 80's?

Or maybe this IS Gazza but hes cut down on the pies...

[certinka]

I can listen to this over and over. What a voice, what a song.

[tankjan]

the best ever!

[RymandTV]

omg what a voice!!!!!!

[zimminkie]

My favorite version of this song!! Wish they put it on an album. Can still remember being in high school and hearing this on the radio and getting chills...glad it's here!!

[19bridgeport71]

already on an album..."The Secret Policeman's Other Ball". Maybe '79.

[Giovani22]

young ..raw .. and unrehearsed.....perfect!

[SneZhulak]

totaly agree. Best version, that echo is PERFECT.

[Eltroim]

i dont get the picking pattern i wanna punch the video guy for not zooming his damn guitar but he's prolly senile now.

[AkiraSendo12]

magnifique!!!!!!!!

[Pepelukeriaunapolla]

MESMERIZING. That's the word. I love it.

[WHEC35NRDL]

I was at a concert in The Netherlnds in 1979...been a fan ever since. Who knew our Coast Guard ship would be there at the same time...and I had no idea then that I was seeing greatness in the making.

[samlettuce]

I agree with you. I heard it for the first time in 1985 and still think it's the best version of this song

[shiloW8]

this is TOTALLY the best version ever!!! luv it!!

[SunbeamHotBand]

Simple Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

[thebanannaa]

sting is a babe

[mtronik]

best version !

[WNM52]

Now THIS is a LOVE song!

[SharamTheOne]

Legend!

[myjizzureye]

nearly 200k views, hmmm tits

[RBTraj]

Grew up on this album

[Maverick747uk]

reminds me of eddie muprhy in 48 hrs

[kirk7524875248]

Singing with that delay is a lot trickier than it seems. One false pitch and you're ruined. He does it perfectly here. No mistakes, flawless. Amazingly strong voice, and perfect pitch. A Great listen!

[Bon3sDaBoss]

i love this song!

[eklectric]

chills up and down my spine. 3 minutes long. 8-)

[limon99999]

se sting avesse cantato così in ogni concerto i police a quest'ora sarebbero seguiti da tutti!!!

[kenf1ott]

personally I think Sting is a pretentious prick. This performance however along with Message in a Bottle for this same film are genius in my opinion. Pitch perfect? Damn good that's for sure. Working the delay to perfection.

[glassoul]

I probably be a pretentious prick too if I could write and sing songs like that.

[Boganator4]

@glassoul. Is he as bad as Axl Rose? lol

[SenorSpode]

@glassoul Touche! Very good comeback!

[huttons]

HERO

[BadmanTigi]

had to say ROoxanne lol

[BadmanTigi]

what year was this? great song

love sting's acoustic version love the "ROOOXXANNE" lol

[glassoul]

1981

[BadmanTigi]

thank you lol glassoul lol

[StingsGirl]

Sting is a genius

[bultaco111]

Can he repair a Carrier 258ANA060 Air conditioner?

[aimsme]

Does he have to?

[conexionaerea]

Que simple!, Que bueno!,destinado a ser....imperecedero.

[ferpresi]

espectacular, excelente voz

[sul1080]

AWEsoMe....... Powerfull Voice

[carlos13190]

so great

5555++++

[eliasDK]

That's some of the most powerful singing I've ever heard!!!!!

My favourite Perfomance of Roxanne !!!!!!

[RobJahLuv]

Yes

[CartoonMuhammed]

Greatest male vocalist ever, with the possible exception of Jeff Buckley.

[rv6ejguy]

His vocal range and and power- what can you say- wow!

[gordonmatthewsumner]

Sting 4 ever ...

[victoria454]

My man rescued me from the life of Roxanne. We've been toqether for 5 years now and I hope we still listen to this when we're in our 90's.

[kartoffelsaek]

I second that

[conspiracy47]

STING RULES

[roundtree14]

you know this guy shoold have never went solo the police wus fine tgether

[ZachValkyrie]

I have such tenor envy!!!

Curse my bass vocal range!!!

[29frett]

[stormbrirger]

best version of this song

[madiimi]

f...king live shit

[LooLooLemon09]

No, MacGiver almost looks like Sting....Either way, the boy can sing.

[jaybou263]

sting......in the day.

[BeerHombre]

he has such a great voice

[xknightmage]

Aye he does mate.

[AtsumoriPL]

ohh roxane...

[bijvoegelijknaamwoor]

bwhahah yeahh macgiver :P deffenetly hahahaha

[underfoil]

does he ever make any mistakes?

[serpenti89]

yeah, his solo career.

[Eltroim]

yeah, like breaking up the police.

he should've done that 2 studio records later, in order not to become a "once upon a time." like u2, who rocked the 80s and suck big time now.

[armadylo94]

Man i so totally agree with you on the u2 thing

[JonasRaakjaer]

Probably one of the best one man performances in history!

[Matess9010]

When was this performance?

[wisper6419]

September 1981 it is called " the secret policeman's other ball and was part of raising money for amnesty international.

this is my favorite version of this song

[DavidLital]

Anyone else think he kinda looks like Mark Hamill, aka Luke Skywalker?

[underfoil]

almost looks like MacGiver?

[Ispitthetruth3883]

maybe a little haha

[xknightmage]

A lil not quite there

[whoanaughty]

just one man, one man...

[vanitysadeparis]

He looks like my ex-boyfriend, George W.

[Nopleravet]

George W.... Bush? wtf xD

Of course, this song is a masterpiece and Sting is one of the best singers-composers of the XX and XXI century

[vanitysadeparis]

See! I KNEW someone would think that! No! I meant to keep his last name a secret. It's NOT W. Bush! LOL!!!

[Nopleravet]

hahahaha i know it was an easy joke xD sorry

But tell your ex-boyfriend not to invade Iran ¬¬ lol

[vanitysadeparis]

LOL !!!

:)

-Jessica

[Philter04]

He looked like Kyle from Road Trip then. Hair and all.

[koits]

why did sting turn to pop - i so like this much better than nowday sting

[moesgaard]

I love YOU since i knew YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!

[MetalGearNerd]

Sting has without a doubt truly one of the most unique remarkable voices of all time.

[WNM52]

Singing "con brio"! Bravissimo, Sting!

[kirk7524875248]

I've NEVER heard a person hit a note so "ON"! Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!

[103owns]

jah poopoo xalocrisoph l'aomoai utoh das svienkter der llatey vva... yo suoi kel tak polka nasevou kattev y; dergen vergen hauser snauffer! HEE HEE :) ROxaNNei hof yeah!!!

[crunkdonkey24]

[mitchboyd5554]

filmed in 1981. you can buy the dvd for secret policemen's ball at amnesty international's website. i would recommend it.

[SMILExSTRANGE]

I loveeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Joyster2212]

When is this recorded? Loox like its in the Police time. Sting is that young.

[fiucik1]

It's 1981.

[mitchboyd5554]

1981

[bacz7]

This song is about LOVE.

It's based by true story.

Some man had girl-friend. She was prostitute and droped her prof for him. This was sincere love. They were together about one year(?). But finally she went away from her loverboy.

And then she come back to her prof.

This man told Sting this story.

And we have "Roxanne".

[pepecharli1]

a un que pase los años como un Ron añejo

sigue siendo un grande

[harveytg]

Everyone knows that Sting is very concerned about the hardships suffered by prostitutes. Apparently he visited some working girls in Germany recently. You know; just to check they were alright and they knew it's a 'bad way'.

[LoganTbAiRd]

this is a totally awesome song and very original, but you don't really have to ask people if they know what its about unless they ask you you should not care. or maybe you should instead just say what its about. and it is so obviouse what the song is about. I mean the red light.Hello? so yeah GABRIEL263.

[GABRIEL263]

dude do you even relize what this song is about

[jascc8]

How does that have anything to do about it? He likes it and just saying that, shut up please.

[tripleogb]

the best live performance of sting performing roxxane

[johannema]

Best version ever - soulful and sweet

[jujutjub]

beautiful...

[koits]

oh - one of my fav live performances-ever - his voice and the guitar - just so simple and so amazing !!

[RobJahLuv]

yes,,the Stinger!!!

[spazmoto]

The voice and composure...

[WarlordFeyd]

This is an awesome performance but you guys should hear his modified version he did after leaving The Police live/solo which I did and then after he came back to reunite the group--simply an amazing and God-gifted artist of our current age!-Mikey ;-D (Also ty for the share Makenna*hugs*)

[DahVoyce]

this is really good

ive done a cover of one of sting song

[svenskic]

[GaryOldmanLuv]

i luv this song so much, my most favorite. especially the part'iluv u since i knew u..'

[metalheadrmania09]

i didnt know sting played guitar

[cassinell]

Que bello es Sting, me fascina.

[stingrayglobal]

This was the Sting that blew away the world with this and Message in a Bottle. Sting, it's time to head back to The Secret Policeman's Ball before it's midnight.

[Aarashguitar]

sting changed a lot now, he is not the sting he used to be, previously he was better

[chuckm51]

This version makes my hair stand on end, it is sooo great

[LaMortadella]

Sting's acoustic versions are always stellar. I just love you Sting.

[metallica2299]

i love this song!

[zaleski1]

si parla tanto di carisma ma quando si vede sting, si capisce veramente di cosa si sta parlando!

[nodachislayer]

Sting sounds like an angel. Amazing vid.

[willson30]

he looks so young here, and his vocal range is outstanding

[neilcollier1]

looks like an 80s custom

[DudeLove1996]

What kind of strat is sting using

[cremebrulee67]

That would be a FENDER.

[DudeLove1996]

I know its FENDER you dumbass I was talking about what kind of Stratocaster model it is

[cremebrulee67]

Lick the sweat from my left nut ball bag licker! You dont know a Strat fro a les paul.

[DudeLove1996]

I know a strat from a les paul what I meant to ask was what year was it cause I like the looks of it

[natisx74]

thx....great song and gigant artist

[54nomore]

I never realize Sting had this kind of range. I can't believe what I'm hearing. This is a great tune, and done by one of the best in the business. Way to go Sting! too bad I came aboard late. Great post!!

[KoachKrab127]

His voice is so amazing. I can't believe that huge, grand voice comes out of that skinny little body...lol.

[leifmotive13]

gran cancion roxenne era una prostituta francesa a la cual dedicaron esta cancion.

un tema muy bello.

[eyeheartthepolice]

the secret police- sang an up beat version of "i shall be released" w/ sting as the front man. does anyone have that one on video?

[geeflat]

Yes. I've got it. But not right now (I'm away from home) so can't post it. It's on the DVD "The Secret Policeman's Other Ball".

[LodoGrdzak]

Thank God its not Tea in the Sahara.

[eyeheartthepolice]

i like "tea in the sahara", but your comment made me chuckle.

[DudeLove1996]

Nice echo its very good I think this is when he started touring without the police my mom saw him at the Lake Compounce Festival and at Live Aid

[glassoul]

No, this was in 1980, long before the Police broke-up. This was a one off performance of a couple songs for a benefit concert.

[patoruzu43]

Que privilegio ser contemporaneo de Sting!!!

[mykulc]

I remember seeing this when it came out in 1982. I was 12 and my mom was YELLING at me to come eat dinner but I was in a complete daze. Like I was just now, watching it again some 25 yrs later.

[cokelalo]

perfect!!!

[ERKA76]

Absolutely wonderful!!!The best Sting version of Roxanne.

[delenca]

Wow. That is unbelievable. I can't believe I had never heard that before. Sting and a Strat. That's it. Oh, yeah, and a voice that gives you shivers. A true treasure.

[Giovani22]

Out of all the years that have gone by and all the tours he's done till now (including the reunion)i think this is still the best played version of roxanne,simple and profound

[JadeMantis69]

Es la mejor de todas las versiones de Roxanne,gracias Geeflat.

[DudeLove1996]

This something sombody would listen to when they want to hear something that sounds like the 70's

[fimiseb]

Col bonne musique.

[athoszet]

This is good song, but in musical Moulin Rouge...Sting is a shadow behind the SONG of Moulin Rouge ,,El tango de Roxanne,,

[drkokoloko]

El tango de roxanne from moulin rouge have a really good band, but the singer is a sh1t (sorry)

But police and sting in roxanne they did a beautiful song, so much the voice, as the music

[LedZZep]

Awesome, best version i've ever heard!

Perfect.

[Karlkw]

1st time i heard this version i was at a county fair by the "enterprise" ride. the carnie was too stoned to stop the ride in the middle of the song. just one of those moments when the whole twisted world was right for a few minutes.

[thepolice26]

this is fu******ng wonderful!!! Fantastic. He knows what to do! I love his voice! I love this song!!! This version is unbelieveable!!! LOVE STING!!! STING IS THE KING OF THE MUSIC FOREVER AND EVER!!!

[keewee1969]

This has to be the BEST version EVER! I cried the first time I saw this! It still gives me chills! He still looks as hot as ever!
