Yes, it is refreshing to experience that Andy summers really was a good musician before he joined forces with the Roger Whitaker of the punks, Sting, in the utterly boring teenage dog-shit successful business effort called Police. I guess he had a few bills to pay, like many of his peers from a more adventurous age.
Yes Andy Summers did join the Police and he just has all over again! Had no idea he played with Kevin Coyne before I saw this though. Personally I prefer him on this...
In his book Summers paints a vivid picture of being on Coyne's band - he was disappointed at the break up as it was the best band around at the time and could have been huge. You only have to listen to the live album In Living Black And White to see what he meant
Oh dear I'm obviously spending too much time on YouTube to be the first to view and post a comment. Great stuff. Love this. Probably the best of the Kevin videos you've got up. Many thanks. Didn't Andy Summers join the Police or am I getting mixed up? And Whistlin' Bob Harris moving and grooving ...! Pls check out my new tribute to Edwyn Collins.
strummer, you obviously just have better tatse than most of us! and Bob was noted for whispering and his whistling haha (and, judging by quite a few of the clips on here, also for his annoyng snigger at the end of tracks!) I have the late great Mr. Peel to thank for introducing me to KC, as have many others I suspect.
Yes that was true for me too Martin. Suspect Mr Summers wouldn't have banked so many millions for a reunion with Kevin C (which sadly of course can't happen now) as he will for strutting his stuff with that tantric ex-techer ;o)
No, but I'm sure that it can have really been as much fun for Andy Sumers backing the musical wet fish that is Gordon Sumner! I wonder who the other musicians were at this gig? CK did a lot of work with the excellent Zoot Mnoey, who I think is still around?
@martinevans123 zoot and andy were best friends back then, i guess. they followed each other from band to band, so he very well may have been at this gig........
Que poderío!!!

It is very hard to find dvd's or cds of Kevin in South Africa.

If the heads of Phil Collins and Chris DeBurgh were Sting's bollocks; how tall would he be?

Great clip but begs the question why the film Last Night Of The Rainbow hasn't had a DVD?Video release.
