The Police - Driven to Tears live

Another live performance of Driven to Tears by The Police. I'm not sure of the year (early 80's) but a great performance of one of my favorite Police tunes. Originally off the album Zenyatta Mondatta.

Stewart Copeland: best dummer in rock history, next to Neil Peart. Un-effin-believably good. Reggae and jazz influenced, syncopated and with that incomparable rimshot CRACK!

[ThePrimeDirective]

My fav Police song.  Have you ever heard of anything like this song?

It seems that when some innocent die, all we can offer them is a page in some magazine. Too many cameras and not enough food. This is what we've seen.

Profound then, profound now.

@typsypyg great observation at 1:25. I've watched this vid dozens of times and never noticed it. The Police were at their rawest and ass-kicking pinnacle..... then went commericial downhill from there.

Dynamics and syncopation; abilities by the great Stewart. Hence his non-repetitive fill-ins. Too bad Sting over does his singing.

Stuart Copeland is the ultimate drummer, one of the best ever!

Anyone know what color stings bass is? Like what does fender dub it?

Love Andy's solo. Love Stewart's attitude. They are rockin' this song.

[typsypyg]

Great, great version. They were on fire here. I love how Andy screws up a chord at 0:42 and the glare he gives Stewart at 1:25 when Stewart starts to rush. "Don't take off like a rocket, now, Stu!"

Copeland is beating those drums like they owe him money. Awesome live song and simply one of the best bands of all time.

Stewart f'ing Copeland...hitting everything and anything that ain't tied down...awesome.
