[rastalove06]

@RedCanzian4Ever  love those octobans

[helgaapeldoorn]

don't judge a concert by the bad audio on some of these clips.

[AcePilot101]

[Bertonitv]

How is life in Mars Ace pilot?

[thedukeofrosco]

Im seeing them on 19th Oct in Cardiff. This is in my top 3 of their greatest tunes. I don't care that they have no backing band. No keyboards etc. That is fine by me. However if that is how Andy Summers is playing the verse I'm f**cking gutted! Sounds nasty. Also, by the way, I wish someone would get some balls and tell Sting he is not singing kareoke in the Adelphi club. Stop pissing around and sing it properly! I realise it's realistically not going to be the same, but come on now?

[markbass305]

I wish they played this in Miami...

[Brilliantbeing]

Andy's interpreting that keyboard line just fine. This is closer to the reggae feel that The Police are so fond of anyway.

This is a very special group. It's good to see them back on the scene again. Young musicians should take notes.

[aublivion]

This is the way the song was originally written. It was to Andy's surprise that he should walk into the studio one day and hear that his guitar part was replaced with keys. I like the keys better, but I was happy to hear a version that may have been very similar to the original version. The Police put on an amazing show. These vids don't represent how well the audio was. It was excellent!

[drewlsy]

Despite Andy's amazing rendition of a creepy 80's synthesizer, it just doesn't cut it with me. Look, the song had keys in it, period. That's what drives the song is that chugging synth groove which for me, evokes the "spirit" in the song. They should at least have a back-up synth player, I mean the song Synchronicity has that amazing synth frill along w/countless other songs like wrapped around your finger. They (keys) would add dimension.

hey 4 those hu went ws it gr8?. . lyk amazin cus im seein em in twickenham in sept and wna no if im in 4 a gr8 sho!

[CloneTrooper74]

The Police dont need a backup band. The Police had backup singers during the Synchronicity tour but they didnt really make much difference in terms of the sound or harmony.

[Fergusongirl]

You guys must help me...

I know it sounds sillly but...few days ago I saw a video where Andy jumped (during on of their songs)- three times! I accidentally deleted that video from my playlist and now I can't remember which concert it was,not to mention which video it was. They only thing I remember was-the video was REALLY short(1 minute or less) and the lights were blue/white. That's it... :( Please,can someone at least tell me which concert it was?

What did Sting say?

[bertronicals]

Andy summers rocks!

[jorgemiler005]

a pesar del tiempo se puede confirmar q "the police" seguira siendo de los mejores de la musica y se sabe al escuchar al publico corear las canciones

[bertronicals]

The Police is the best band in the world.

[localhand]

The ticket prices are nuts.

[sunnfun]

Talented bands don't need backup.

[todoelez]

andy´s guitar is just awesome!!!

[malinwj]

sounds good to me. awesome light show, too!

[todoelez]

these guys know how to work together!

[stewartcopulate]

sounds rough as hell - with a bit of luck, by the time they reach the UK, they will be in the groove. the fan reviews I've read so far have been very mixed. I hope Sting's tinkering doesn't fuck this tour up.

[DrCru]

i don't think me or any of the other 19,999 people in the stadium cared that he had no backup band.

[gaae2000]

go back to Mexico...a true fan wants them alone w/no backin stuff.

[IndioFreak]

Agreed. It adds up to a more intimate vibe. As of Mexico, I hope they play there with 40 session players but not when I see them! / De acuerdo. Eso le da un aire mas intimo. Que toquen en Mexico con 40 sesionistas, pero no cuando los vea yo!

[rubbersoulmexico]

it´s too sad...it happend 25 years and they are playing with no back up band... There are too many songs with piano, keyboards, voices and the song seems to be naked. Just the voice of Sting and bla bla bla... anyway i´m a big fan and i will see them in Mexico City.

[morbidgood]

klasse aufnahme...yeah...dave

[Byzantino]

wer zum teufel ist dieser dave ?
