Sting - Seven Days (Live) - Summoner's Travels

[ReeceClue]

This played in my Art class. The teacher is obsessed with Sting's music! So am I! I am soooo buying all of his songs on iTunes!

[marietorma]

And there are 9 morons who haven't understood anything about music, live music, musicians, live musicians performance, about Sting, about Vinnie Colaiuta, about how hard this is, about how easily they do it, about art, about being an artist... There are 9 idiots who haven't understood anything about life itself... May the creator him/herself be merciful to these persons despite their ignorance...

[MrRealgar]

andiamo vincenzoooo

[BlinkyMovies2]

drummerが上手過ぎる

[ibjamin5]

Love this lineup.

[shakriviere]

Progressive reggae!

[shakriviere]

Eu não cliquei em "Skip this add now". A neném é muito fofinha.... *_*

[ostienfon69]

vinnie mas que ritmo en la sangre

[tatutitote]

4:16 - 4:21 !!!!!

[MrStRaKeR58]

Very nice version.

[MrGigiDrum]

ANDIAMO VINCENZO!!!

[MugenTensaiKanosei]

miller still reminds me ofneil patrick harris

[MsFerdyx62]

Wonderful!!

[pacboyish]

So hot!!! Love you Sting!

[frecklesdk]

awesome song

[one2nd1]

If you want to see Vinnie being "really good" then watch the Soul Cages concert too!

[one2nd1]

Seven Days was originally written and made with Vinnie on the drums at Lakehouse, I always remember passing Vinnie near Lakehouse, He drives like he plays drums!

[pplooc4p]

This drumming works on so many levels in terms of technique, taste, feel, and execution. Sting provided the vehicle and Vinnie put mag wheels with a racing slick on it and took that band on a beautiful ride!

[adjesbr]

Vinnie is a brilliant musician indeed, but I get up set with those comments from musicians that do not feel the melody or even the beauty of this song. They look for music only in a technical manner...music must be arises from the soul...

[UrbanSpower]

Constant drum-cam required. Seriously

[acarch]

Those cymbals at 4:16 are just INSANE!!!

[Deeminbas]

Amazing song! Love the pirate shirt!

[Thiefofbeats]

Vinnie's cymbals were tuned to the brown note, 'cause i shit in my pants, several times.

[gallucci1953]

Colaiuta? yes... but, nobody says anything about Sing? amazing bass lines in this song!!! amazing singer

[kyrikeys]

Vinnie C. is without doubt the coolest, baddest most tasteful cat to ever put wood to metal! 2:10 - 2:17...O M G.....such a tasteful little fill from the master ironsmith :)

[Lodevole88]

Ma quanto suona Colaiuta. Mostruoso...!

[thickpooxbox360]

2:12 What the fuck what vinnie doing? :O insane groove!

[Leligno80]

No, Sting forse è uno dei pochi cantanti leggeri che può permettersi collaborazioni alte, dato che ha scritto molte canzoni buone, piacciano o meno

[ldrumma2002]

omg...i love this song...

[smoukondeuoter]

"ANDIAMO VINCENZOOOOOOO!!!!"

[tomfletchermusic]

Vinnie played best between 0:00 and 4:48, the rest of it was pretty bad, Vinnie really needs to up his game!!!!!!

[darkalleyheroes]

@tomfletchermusic 4:49 Was pretty good though D:

[Itsenurj]

@tomfletchermusic You poor thing.. if you really understood musicianship.

[Kolenschopper]

Ohoh, im 33 and only now starting to apreciate Sting.

Great play by vinny also here, maybe its just him that makes this a great song.

[paqman78]

This was my favourite Sting lineup.

[TheRaiderofthestorm]

che spreco di talenti per una canzone buona al massimo come sottofondo per un aperitivo tra amici

[daniele91drummer]

@TheRaiderofthestorm mica tanto... un pezzo in 5/8 coi contro cazzi! Questo è jazz spinto vestito da pop... Non è certo da sottofondo :)

[TheRaiderofthestorm]

Che spreco di musicisti per una canzone buona al massimo come sottofondo per un aperitivo tra amici

[Rance1976]

Vinnie The very best...........

[BigAce94]

sdfnvbk ndfbvln dfsb.ln sorry i was wiping the cum off of my key board

[tw101abi]

vinnie is god.

[elidemsitz]

Oh my god, I have a crisis:-)

[VegaSG77]

in italian ANDIAMO VINCENZO!!!! at 3.30 (trad. C'mon Vinnie!)

[johnnylarue1]

vinnie rules

[charliemileo1]

I was wondering where all the real inteligent comments were guess i found some real musicians or music lovers i agree great line up and the ability to make odd time feel straight.awsome!!ps omar hakeem no slouch on blue turtles either peace god bless

[akrotirifry9]

This perhaps is the most natural sounding song written in an odd time signature ever.

[Baekmagoji]

@akrotirifry9 Seconded. Sting/Colaiuta ftw.

[BlueAcred]

@akrotirifry9 5/4 man. And it is still very weird!

[akrotirifry9]

@BlueAcred 5/4 sure is weird for such a song, but it sounds really cool here. Sting often uses odd time signatures in ways that sound surprisingly natural, esp. on the Ten Summoners' Tales and Mercury Falling albums (the latter to a lesser extent). St. Augustine In Hell and the verse parts of Love Is Stronger Than Justice are other examples of Sting's ingenuity regarding odd times. If there was ever such a genre as Prog Pop, Sting would be the perfect fit.

[hambrother]

if he retires will he change his name to stung

[adrianwaj]

Interesting to see how high Vin's got his index up the stick at 2:54.

[jeaniebthe1]

Yeah! Weird how his 5/4 has a kind of calypso quality - I can see how he's inspired Esperanza Spalding...

[roguestout]

Trying to think of a cooler, more talented lineup of musicians...

Maybe somebody can help me here?

[sirenvox]

@roguestout Stewart Copeland, Andy Summers & Sting-O. Having said that, I do love this band as well. This is the best line up Sting played with outside of The Police. Cheers.

[thebatman101069]

@roguestout I don't know, but I thought his first solo line up was pretty friggen sweet, Kenny Kirkland, Brandford Marsalis, Omar Hakim, and Daryll Jones, with Dollette McDonald and Janice Pendarvice singing backups... that band was tight.

[Robercleyson]

Vinnie Colaiuta is the man!!!

[gorangrooves]

Incredible! I saw them live in '96 in NZ and that was the greatest concert I've ever seen. Sting has always had the finest band in pop music by far. Absolutely phenomenal.

[mrpicky510]

Vinnie is a god on drums

[DMBtomp]

that was sooo nice!!

[lilou1003]

One of the best drum tracks ever!

[madbeatsmike]

go vinnie go!

[TheMissOuLaLa]

@MrVopnafjodur

okay, then he's a talent in changing his clothes, he's very very very fast. RESPECT.

By the way: Sting IS BRILLIANT !!! ;-)

[PoeticJustice05]

In every vid I've seen of Sting playing this song with Vinnie Colaiuta, he always gives him a couple extra bars at the end of the last bridge so he can put in some kick-ass fill.

[BeatDigger]

BEST DRUMMER ALIVE!!! NO ONE COME CLOSER TO THIS GUY!!! LOVE VINNIE

[TheMissOuLaLa]

why is he wearing a completly different shirt at the and?

4:33 it's white and at 4:44 it's yellow ??

[MrVopnafjodur]

@TheMissOuLaLa vinnie is so fast,man that he can change his t-shirt while playing 16 notes fill around the drumkit,thats why...

[CameronADD]

@TheMissOuLaLa Different show :)

[basolfjeld]

@TheMissOuLaLa at 04:35, there is a cut in the videosegment, where it skips to the end of the concert.. So he has probably been off stage before the encore and changed shirt, yes.

[reflectwindow]

Great Video

[drumzz84]

hey all, i had to learn seven days for a gig recently. and while searching youtube to see how guys are playing the drum part live, i found that there are no proper covers of this tune on youtube. and no one was playing the ending like vinnie did on the album. anyways, above i have posted my take on seven days. check it out, and let me know what you think. its the one titled "seven days - sting (new eternity version)

[MauroPWA]

Andiamo Vincenzo!!!

[lalekan1]

Ton Sting, Marc est bien, mais ne vaut pas celui-ci en 5/8

[7joreyn]

i love this song

[fneijts]

@BelyjSneg Vinnie in a white shirt??

[degas]

thumbs up for left nipples???

[777teressa]

great tune !! thanks for posting !!

[markyjelvis]

legend! wot a groover

[drumvalter68]

Vinnie is not a drummer .. is "the" drummer! I do not know another versatile as he is. I can not figure out what is pleasing to those 8 people who voted "I do not like" .. but perhaps prefer Slipknot !!!!!!

[LvnAction]

V I N N I E

[rastapastrychief]

4:16-20 WTF Vinnie??

[JhonMonsalve]

Those hi-hats on 2:20 are coming from outer space lol

[snorhyveln]

Dominic Millers nippel in 02:48.. Huuaahhh yeeaak ;- Þ

[BigRooster747]

vinnie copies stewart copeland style to a tee....

[621Kershaw]

@BigRooster747 Sorry mate thats absolute bollocks! He is ten times the drummer Copeland ever was!

[twelge15]

This song allways gives me chills. Like quickly flying low over land at mach 1.5 or somthing. Vinnies' "on top"& "quick" feel brings this mind picture. And executed as allways, with the highest virtuosity possible on the kit.

[pazure]

Whenever they get to the really complicated drum parts, instead of showing vinnie whaling away, they show the building, or Sancious's fingers, or Sting. Grrr...

As good as the drumming is, Sting's like Ginger Rogers, singing and playing a difficult bass line at the same time. He's really, really good at that art.

[hugoribeiro]

lol... funny that almost all the comments here are about Vinnie and nothing else! :D

[PulpF1ct1on]

His goove and technique through those transitions are mind blowing!

[MrGrimmydareaper]

Vinnie is unreal. all the little stuff is amazing.T

he whole band is great

[shanesperling]

genius..... that's it

[THEPAXAS]

gods

[Percussionfish]

oh man vinnie really is serious bussines,...

[bRandom79]

ok... ive easily watched this 500 times now... no exaggerating

[VelcomeBack]

@bRandom79 500 times? Yur a rockstar! :>

[dudy71]

Its Vinnielicious!!

[NadRaad1]

@dudy71 Yeahhhh!!!

[keepinpositive]

Wow, I wonder if this is late in the tour. Just looks like they are up there just cruising along. Unbelievable. Vinnie is on his game. Half expected to hear him throw some double bass fills in there. Top notch! HA, not to many haters commenting on this video. I don't think there is anything to hate here. It's unnanimous, Vinnie is the shizzle.

[AlexDrumlife]

I adore this man..Vinnie the best

[ningkee]

Wow, Vinnie was tweaked.

[y2rock]

Vinnie is sick on this one!!!!!!!

WOW!!!

[masamitoissho]

the final living legend

[Sbrignifliluo]

2:11...Vinnie...a monster...

[manpiano09]

Perfect

[Tikitiki200]

Beautiful live playing by Vinnie! Though I like the studio cut just a little better.

[hortondrummer]

amazin!! colauita is god!! does anyone know where i can get this concert on dvd? whats the name of it? cheers :)

[Letinasho]

aliens in Vinnie's brain....

[LHondrums]

think that vinnie plays a bit 2 crazy here. it almost sounds like vinnie feat sting and not the other way round.

[pear7777]

Live played is so much better then any flatmixed recording

[nolo68]

vinnie killssssssssssssssssss

[Storviksbo]

i mean 4:17 OMG! got to learn that

[johnnylarue1]

VInnie is incredible

[joebassmusic92]

vinnie!!!!!!!!

[wardrumma]

Vinnie Colaiuta featuring Sting ladies and gentlemen

[sanlobosts]

@wardrumma QUE GROSOOO VINNIE

[mrbubble906]

What exactly is Sting Telling Dominick to mellow out on? "Dude, your incredible tone and touch is stepping all over my fucking VOCALS!! ROOOKIE!!"

[Samsgarden]

Vinnie always dresses like a utilitarian :-)

[Flynno82]

Can you get this on dvd..? my dad has it on VHS.. Imagine this on the surround sound..? Vinnie You animal of a Genius..!!!!!

[headforthetropics]

vinnie - you make your papa proud

[siciliano79]

one of the greatest musicians of all time.... my humble opinion.....

[okie9]

i just want to watch the drum cam!

[simonegiacomelli1970]

Vinne Colaiuta...... simply amazing !

[doubts]

One of the best pieces of druming i have ever seen/heard

[Jez2008UK]

@doubts

That's what you get with Vinnie !

[PinkPrism008]

Sting pays the best musicians in the world to play with him and he gets perfection.

He's pretty perfect as well. What a combination of great players and great music. This song highlights all the skills of all players which is what happens when you see Sting in Concert! Thanks for the share.

[marsL001]

vinnie is borg

resistance is futile

awe-mazing drummer tight and always on time

5000 stars

[Adudewithastick]

why is sting using lyrics from every little thing she does is magic at the end of this song @_@?

[tribunnaroda]

When you can play what Frank Zappa write, then you must be amazing. And Vinnie is....amazing!!!

[bassa81]

Colaiuta = GOD

[Davioyeah]

For who doesn't know italian, Sting says:"Andiamo Vincenzo!" that:"Go Vinnie!"

[mUdkickerr]

best pop u can get in a count of 5

[sofakingrate]

Vinnie playing with Sting, for me, is the best drumming ever! He lays a mixture of groove, finesse and complex, out of this world fills, that fits the music perfectly while letting it breathe beautifully.

Simply amazing! God bless Vinnie Colaiuta, my favorite drummer :-D

[steeldustbronze]

Vinnie, what he's doing, inexplicable, and he's singing while doing it; he is the Quizak Haderack.

[MHOPYT]

Amazing. This is not human indeed. Vinnie in any case, but playing the bass that way and singing at the same time is amazing too.. whew. Thanks for posting and thanks to these great musicians for sharing their gifts.

[idn]

Vinnie C. is a beast. So smooth and solid and adding amazing texture to this song.

[621Kershaw]

Vinnie Colaiuta is just bloody Biblical!

[mrmdcny]

VINNIE!!!!

[artistaadogg]

to quote Neil Peart, "Vinnie Colaiuta is one of the most important drummers of our generation."

[antibulletdodger101]

4:14 OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pinkfloydfan417]

@antibulletdodger101 That's one of the godliest fills I've ever heard.

[antibulletdodger101]

2:20.. seriously.. WTF? that drumfill is awesome

[kirk7524875248]

Hey, a live vid that actually syncs up!  What a surprise!

[Unlorrd]

drummer kicks ass

[Nuel0]

Andiamo Vincenzo!!!

[rock4550]

Seeing Vinnie makes me feel like shit when i play the drums, lol, he's unbelievable, perfect technique and feel, he can play anything

[FalcoPR91]

I feel exactly the same

[loupi4bama]

@rock4550 Don't allow that to make you feel like shit.....turn that around, and make it motivate you! Motivation....it's so much more productive....I am sure Vinnie would rather it be positive for you than negative.

[TrueNorth2112]

I have always respected Sting for not only being a great pop song writer but also for hiring some of the worlds best musicians to play with him with one exception ........out of the 70++million gtr players on this planet, was there no one better then F'n Dominic Miller--CHEEZUS CRIPES!! Put your shirt back on DOM and learn how to play f'n gtr - RANT OVER and OUT!

[drumsterZ]

Are you serious? Dominic Miller not a great gtr player? He's fantastic!! he's been Sting's best wingman for ages and he has great technique and feeling appreciated by so many people in the business..

Fabulous musician!!

[ricklaz1]

Umm. Sorry True North. Dom Miller is a very fine player. Your inability to discern that shows that you are missing a lot. I'm very sorry. I don't think you can be helped. It would take way too long and life is too short.

[Jay435]

@TrueNorth2112 In a way, you've answered your own question. After acknowledging Sting "hires some of the world's best musicians", and he does, do you not see Miller's ability to chamelionize himself 20 fold with a barage of different sounds and styles? Most great jazz guitarists list him as one of the finest ever to grace the pop genre, having said that, I do agree with you about the shirt.

[Angelandclown]

Unforgetable....

[vennootje]

Vinnie for president!

[Gnocchi]

Hard to play that bassline and sing and not lose the beat.

The funny thing about most songs in odd meters is, that most people never notice.(Solsbury Hill, The Mission Impossible Theme or simply Take Five, not to mention the Tool/Zappa/Pink Floyd/Radiohead/etc. department)

[itadrummer1]

"Andiamo, Vincenzo !" says Sting to unleash Vinnie's furious drumming :)

Great Sting and even greater Vinnie the Cyborg, LOL!

Unparalleled.

[drumkill90]

vinnie is not human! technique and feel are perfect!

[Raphitsch]

@drumkill90 though he is good, O still think, that he is a human! Sorry...

[fedalxis]

@drumkill90 don't talk about it! it's a intergalactic secret.

[degas]

@drumkill90

I feel he has a "pretty" good feel...

but his technique really holds him back?

:P

(insert drool here)

[jdjbarnat]

@drumkill90 Vinnie is so good that the top rated comment for a "Sting" video would be the praise of Vinnie.

[willie33040]

@drumkill90 This is probably an unfair comparison; do you think Vinnie is better than Stewart Copeland? When I see Sting, I automatically think Copeland, no matter who the drummer is that's playing with Sting.

[PoeticJustice05]

@willie33040 Yes, Vinnie is better. Vinnie Colaiuta is the greatest drummer alive, if not ever.

[willie33040]

@willie33040 Vinnie is a monster! Maybe in another life and time; Vinnie could have been Sting's drummer? I think Stewart Copeland brought the drumming style, that the Police has been known for. Vinnie is awesome! I never knew this guy existed! Whoever uploaded this video; THANKS! ( ^ _ ^ ) Vinnie is now one of my favorite drummers!

[drgonz1]

@drumkill90 being in the pocket has never been executed more perfect that this! Go Vinnie!

[joanix69]

Vinnie, for me, the best drummer in the world...

[neoraul20]

Vinnie, not human!!!

[drumsterZ]

Vinnie, android!!! Vinnie fuckin cyborg!!

[MrHenryrules]

@neoraul20: Amen to that! Unreal.

[drumsterZ]

AAAAAAH VINNIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

greatest technique on earth!!!

[banebane00]

insane!!!

[Guns8000]

theyr all so talented jeez

[sxmadrid]

¡Seven days, so many ways... "one day I'll fly away"?... and that chorus. Eww. Don't even say 'umbrella'.

[willdrummer88]

Sounds like 16th notes, left hand on hats and right hand on ride. simple

[junglemad80]

Vinnie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[Jowl]

Vinnie at 4:15 - 4:20 ????

[guildensternisalive]

@Jowl  ah. :D
