@jgcecil Thank you so much! It has always been one of the greatest The police "mysteries" to me. Did it sound similar to this at Cleveland? I have always found the synchronicity tour to be the most fresh in sound and arangement of the old tours.. I'm a bit curious;)
@RafeDaFuck their arrangements of individual songs for the tour were very consistent, but they did keep the playlist freshened. cleveland was early in the tour, and they were really energetic. (they had on the post apocalyptic-style costumes from the synchronicity video for most of the tour) i always wished i would have seen them earlier in their careers, before areas and stadiums.
Ghost In The Machine was best ever Police album ... from A to Z ... i am sure that it's gonna go down in history of POP music as one of the Best Albums of XX century ... Amazing Work ... all the way.
i was at this gig id just turnd 15. i can see myself at the front infront of sting i had a yellow top on and my mates were taking the piss, then sting comes on. what a trend setter was i!!!. it was the first concert i went to and it was amazing
you gotta love Andy in this - not only is it very rare that he's moving that much during a song but also he's doing quite good, don't you think so? : )
what did Sting think when he chose those trousers? but, jeez, what a voice!!
@WhiteWolfDief Well, he thought "Hey, I'm Sting, and I need to look as ridiculous as I possibly can." He did the same thing for the synchronicity tour, ha.
I was at this concert. I had just turned 20 years old. The bands there were in order: The Gang of Four, The English Beat, U2, and of course The Police as the headliner. All 4 bands absolutely KILLED !! I was 5 feet from the stage all day. 26 years later, and it is still one of the greatest day of my life.
I read that they dropped this song after this tour because it missed the keyboards. Sounds fine to me and it sounded great on the reunion tour as well.
The Police were a dominating and unstoppable band around this time. Ghost in the Machine was a Great Police album eventhough they were not getting along.Great album-Great performance.
magic song, i love this song
