Gizmodrome - Darkness (The Police cover) (Firenze, Viper Theatre, March 2nd 2018)

[@jhchooo]

I love this song! Stewart Copeland's best.

[@itsjustme8947]

I recently had the chance to actually tell Stewart why this song held such a special and personal place in my life. It was in the top three of the most memorable moments of my life and I've had a LOT of memorable moments. He's one helluva guy!

[@rufusbass]

Great band. Always a fave Police track..and Mark King sings his ass off..

[@LookingTheBest]

Copelands' Drumming Unmistakable.

[@thesoulgalaxy6390]

Best song Stew ever wrote. Incredible crispness on that kit.

[@chrisbaumiller5120]

It is definitely an awesome Stewart song, probably my favorite.- Its an awesome cover .Mark and Adrian do an amazing job. I especially like the thing Adrian does as an accent high on the neck on that second verse, perfect timing - Kinda Andy-esque in regards to nuance. To me Darkness is a special song it shows the great lyrics and music from Stewart, yet the song is the complete Police synergy when Sting sings and plays bass to it- and then Summers, its totally complete and unique. Its vise -versa when its Stings lyrics and music- its just fits-. They definitely had something magic!

[@jclcrow2621]

Possibly my all-time favorite POLICE tune. Lotta depth in tune and lyrics. I love ambiguity.

[@markusbonten2739]

One of my favourite the police songs so sad that they never played it live !=???

[@Heathaze813]

Police best song ironically written by Stewart.

[@mohomoho1]

Had Level 42 records when they first came out. Mark King is a great talent

[@paulwilkinson8099]

Favourite song off Ghost in the machine , nice rendition here .

[@hughriddle8319]

I'm so glad this combination ended up working together. They seem to be having fun. Sounds magical here!

[@jublaim]

In this song Adrian seems to like Marks vocals very much!

[@jublaim]

I just love this! A guy that's a bit lost in the all-star line-up is keyboard-player Vittorio Cosma; when listening to the Gizmodrome album I was struck by the VERY tasty keyboard sounds and licks he made. More than Adrians guitars really, Vittorio shines in this!

[@RonWylie-gk5lc]

This amazingly enigmatic and haunting song stopped me in my tracks when it was played at the end of a great "Mind Hunter" episode

[@danward7306]

Mark king is a beast!!!

[@dougl.6461]

Mark King: King of kings!

[@federicapudva]

One of the most amazing moments of the whole concert... Thanks for sharing!

[@drewper73]

What a band! An even better song!

[@amandahodgkinson9193]

Thank you for sharing. Fantastic song sang by a fantastic bassist & singer. Love Mark King.

[@andreaceli1983]

The best gig I've attended in years, I was there in Florence right in front of Stewart Copeland.

[@krisscanlon4051]

What an interesting time the second incarnation a King Crimson the police level 42 Talking Heads and Bowie were in. That 3 year was a very fertile time. 1979 to 1982. Punk and New Wave opened the doors. Stewart waited long enough to be able to play this music without his old band mates. You can find no better replacements then Adrian and Mark King.

[@Sparkina]

Excellent cover! Hey, it’s a cover, Mark K isn’t Sting, I mean, hey, come on, Gordon is Gordon, after all- but our man Marko does this tune with soul, pizzazz and spark

[@markroberts171]

Not sure it's a cover if the writer was on the original recording and is on the stage

[@Sparkina]

Mark Roberts it’s a cover in the sense that someone besides Gordon is singing it 😃

[@MetaGuinea]

Great to hear this song live ,Mark sings it so well !

[@andreaceli1983]

Momento magico di un concerto che ricorderò tutta la vita. Gizmodrome fotonici !!

[@jublaim]

This video is a coming classic. If I were to hear this song for the first time ever, this is it.

[@PoliceBoy465]

A great Police track that Sting would refuse to play live. What a team player.

[@ronyanai4627]

Sting does not like Copeland's songs

[@srdjanjapanmusic5817]

yeah, really sportish spirit ?! ''Team player'' .. But, Bravo For Version Stew, Adrian ,Mark and Co. Bravo !!!

[@radiozelaza]

Copeland's songs are just cringey as fuck.

[@marksimons4108]

@@radiozelaza This is in my top 10 police songs so not to shabby and his other one with stan ridgeway 'dont box me in' was great too!

[@radiozelaza]

@@marksimons4108 I dig "Other Way of Stopping", it's Copeland's and it's cool (although it does have this irritating melody at one part...)

[@josephvonbulow1164]

Belew me away 😜🙌🤘🤘

[@Schumanized]

Tom Schuman made me play piano...Stewart Copleand made me play drums🙏🏾

[@reijokiviniemi4763]

Great version Gizmodrome!

[@eurobennati4754]

bravo ( come sempre) caro Vittorio . grazie M°

[@jhetta22]

One of my fave Copeland tunes, & with Adrain's guitar style, it just fits in nicely

[@mrg1968]

Great version! Like the different arrangements made by all the great musicians !

[@MidnightKahuna]

great live version

[@xaviermartorivilardebo9089]

Beautiful!! And what a song!!!

[@lucasanfilippo5370]

MrMagoafono sei un mito!!! Meravigliosa versione... P.S. Caccia fuori il resto dei brani!!!!

[@MidnightKahuna]

yeah baby!!!

[@lucioetchamendi6362]

Today is the band I will luv to see. FANTASTIC! I wonder what is so funny to Adrian at one point. He chuckles

[@jublaim]

I think he reacts to the music played together in the moment, Marks vocals is soo good, the whole feel.

[@CaesarDarias]

Another spectacular live band with Stewart or Andy that I won’t get to see.

[@terencerosenthal6693]

They need Mike patton at lead vocal- this is right up his alley

[@danward7306]

Smack it

[@Musique61414]

The drummer is outstanding!

[@ukok8177]

Love it

[@robertnobody]

I love Mark King's interpretation of Sting's song; I think he improves on the original and maybe even surpasses it.

[@Olegzyan]

great song!

[@LordEradicus]

I was thinking "Wow...Gizmodrome's doing a Police cover." Then I remembered Copeland was in the band. Duh. 🤔

Excelente.

[@lornestein7248]

Really like the performance of this song.. Much better sounding than the King Crimson covers I heard them do.. Not bad..

[@georginaelizondo]

Touchy tune 😇👈👍

[@martinevensen406]

Mark king sings good those high notes

[@iccio59]

manca di tutto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@georginaelizondo]

👍

[@martinblack781]

The song that Klark Kent wish he wrote!

[@drummerboyharm3078]

Pete Ray Biggin! 👍

[@evankeal]

Great vocals, but the song would lend itself to Belews style perfectly.

[@michaelstojsavljevic8453]

Tuuuuune

[@winstonschwarz1636]

Wow! That is truly horrific. An unmitigated perversion of a great song.

[@srdjanjapanmusic5817]

Bravo, at least, ''Darkness'' live..!!

[@PaulJones202718]

Thunderthumbs FTW.

[@giadacosta4604]

L'originale è un'altra storia......

[@TheAlStewartArchives]

They need to record this in a studio. Better than the original.

[@tonybarstow9813]

Nothing is better than the original, it's good yeah but the original is achingly more touching

[@buluiz]

:)

[@maypapa560]

That drummer really look like Mr. Copeland to me. ,,,,,,it's him?

[@briancaterino2479]

I think this version is far superior to the Police version

[@Toni_560]

Ouch. Stewert nailed it, but the rest...

[@oliveroneill1388]

Guitar ruined it

[@oliveroneill1388]

Too much guitar

[@oliveroneill1388]

Don't like his guitar playing

[@danburnes722]

Could have left it at one comment… I have seen versions of this song where the mix is awesome hitting on all cylinders. Look for the official video when they played in Japan.

[@oliveroneill1388]

Can't stand his plastic sound Adrian

[@oliveroneill1388]

Can't stand him.. fraud
