@multatuli100: This version is slower, compared to 'Police around the world', because probably Sting didn't sniffed his nose full of 'summer-snow', this time....
@B2B76 playing in a band myself, I can easily understand the tempo changes. some nights just have different energy going into them. crowds are different, people are operating on different energy levels, hours of sleep, alcohol (haha), etc. Who knows!? I think this version sounds more accurate to the album, but I still love the other version from the box set. I also like in the other one how Sting uses his droning foot organ to provide more depth.
@multatuli100 I agree, this is a song that I would have thought for sure they would have always sped up the tempo. But like you said Sting hated that Stewart played to fast and he was likely "scolded". Still a great song, love the uploads vigango.
This is so much slower than the version on `Police around the World`. Is this because of some technical `Ghost in the Machine` or was Sting trying his hardest to slow Stewart down?!
