The Police - Can't Stand Losing You (Hatfield Polytechnic 1979)

[@oxygene65]

I could watch Stewart Copeland for the rest of my life, and still never get bored with his drumming.

[@AlejandroMS67]

he is absolutely fantastic to watch, to listen to, and practically impossible to copy

[@elizabethyork3564]

Maestro on the drums, Maestro on guitar, and Maestro song writer and very under rated bass man. Simply put MAESTRO BAND.

[@ivanjulian2532]

Sting's bass playing is underrated by precisely NOBODY who knows even the slightest thing about music.

[@Farewelltokingz]

@@ivanjulian2532a lot of people think he’s praised for bass just because he’s a great singer and songwriter. But Sting can OBVIOUSLY play bass well.

[@petercruz1688]

Before the Police I do not ever recall associating reggae music with rock'n roll. They did that just like Elvis and the Beatles took Blues from the American South and turned it in to rock'n roll further demonstrating the transformational nature of music. I think this is a remarkable example of that.

[@JohnnyCxviii]

What a power trio! Three superb parts of a greater whole.

[@christineplymouth3271]

Universally liked by a college graduate of the 80's, thanks guys, we love you !

[@rebelibya462]

Nothing better than this band

[@straighteight9154]

The Ruts.

[@Lwyse96]

This song became the group's first Top 10 hit in the UK and Ireland, reaching Numbers 2 and 7 respectively in July 1979.

[@hinjurock70]

WOW! They were killing it here.

[@johngray9434]

Standing in the crowd they could never have imagined they were watching history!

[@SwappingIsSaving]

Great energy they had back in the 70s.

[@alaixy060]

Mr Copeland, best drummer ever

[@jga457]

Impresionante el flaco Copeland al final!!

[@johngray9434]

Who’s still listening to this in 2018! This video highlights just how amazing the police were as a live band relative to their contemporaries in 2018.

[@trippinrooster]

Amazing

[@marceliru]

Vamo casá

[@scottramsden3193]

I have this concert on bootleg.This was the encore song and they played it slightly different... Brilliant...

[@marieandros]

just WONDERFUL !!!!

[@gingertudor3111]

mix of best music achievements of those times - punk and reggea - plus good old rock and roll and great talents. mr copeland - best drummer ever and mr sting bass player which could play with jaco pastorius in the band if he wanted to.

[@rickym.9648]

singing and playing a fretless, Sting rocks!!

[@josemengal5339]

3.47 Andy Summers starts his faboulous greek sound improvisation at the end of 'Can't stand losung you' for this world music elements The Police conquered the top lists around the world 👊💥🎸🎶🎵

[@AMYwhimsicalworks]

Incredible.

[@mholdr]

kick ass vocals!!!!!!!!

[@jjrj8568]

jesus H. christ, the stuff Andy Summers can do with the strings of a guitar

[@henlofrens]

Couple of cool effect dont hurt either ;)

[@mocus1]

I'm going to assume that dislike was an error by an inebriate.

[@muddywood]

Andy is the secret weapon in this band. He plays so many interesting things instead of the same old bar chords.

[@MsFanmail]

great song

[@gabrielserieys8983]

an admirable Pop for many

[@adrianoourique8474]

Sensacional!!

[@jckhammer]

I still havent heard a better live version of this song than the one they did for the lost bbc tapes. But this one is pretty damn good and prob the best ive heard after the bbc version

[@dumfriesspearhead7398]

What were the lost BBC tapes?

[@jckhammer]

@dumfriesspearhead7398 they were audio tapes from a bbc radio special recorded around 78 to 79 just as they were starting to breakout . The quality is good and there playing is top notch . Hard to find but it's out there . I had them years ago and need to search them up again . I stoll maintain that the best version of them playing cant stand losing you was on this recording. Sting and Copeland were at their game instrumentaly

[@jckhammer]

[@AlejandroMS67]

Copeland is just fantastic

[@luizguilhermemoreirasales1548]

LOVE THIS SONG HERE BRASIL 🇧🇷😎 👌 📻 🎶 🎼

[@JohnnyCxviii]

I've thought this a few times as well. There are more than a few Police songs that would especially benefit from this execution.

[@Nigelxman]

Will do. Cheers.

[@OrALe1897]

Losing you is a bloody nightmare!!!!

[@FeelingShred]

How in the living fuck audio recordings from 1979 can sound this good? Lol I wish there was Van Halen recordings from this era with good sound quality :(

[@sbirrito]

coz it the police in their prime,simple as.they made shitting sound good.

[@cowsongs]

Well, yeah, because the Police were great, but this clearly sounds like it was taken from the mixer. In 1979, they didn't have anything like a 24-track digital recorder, so they couldn't just spew all 24 (or 48 or whatever) tracks to a digital recorder and then mix it later. But they could have created a decent 4-track mix off the board in advance just for recording. It would still be pretty darn good if they set it up right.

[@jankradler5483]

Cause oldschool warm analog sounds way better then this new digital shit!

[@FernandoMorales-ft4pk]

bass loop sting is wonderfull to final

[@PunSmoke]

A little Sting goes a long way...

[@manuelvalansi1264]

@SWTCH1NGSIDES it's a fretless bass

[@Nigelxman]

@EiDy2 What are you talking about? Stuart and Andy are both singing backup here.

[@andrewvelasquez3040]

Copeland is bad ass

[@FernandoMorales-ft4pk]

total adrenallyne

[@3093DaNieLe3093]

0:30

[@Grummsh00]

@njl202 Sting did his own harmonies on the recorded version.

[@WydGold]

ANYOONE ELSE HERE SINCE THE CORONA VIRUS 😂

[@Nigelxman]

I can hear them fine. Perhaps it's just you. :-)

[@sensationalopie]

your comment says the contrary

[@samuelCBello]

no homo but dude u r so right lol

[@Mau41106]

Quadrophenia time? That haircut!!

[@dianavaldez3371]

Before he perfected his voice.

[@GG-zy8el]

Is this rock goes to college?

[@muhammadalfajri4314]

Right

[@CarlosRuiz1]

At some point they lost this magic playing live... and it never returned. Just watch the Rock in Rio 2007 comback videos to know what I mean.

[@Fer-ug4nd]

¿Alguien podría decirme qué tipo vestimenta/atuendo usa Sting en este video?

[@juaniortelli2705]

Es un traje de piloto, en esa época the police usó mucho de esos oufits, se pueden apreciar en varias fotos desde 1977 al 79 y obviamente en la portada de Outlandos

[@njl202]

where did the harmonies go?

[@right-hand1388]

2:20 ooh men 😑harry belafontine banana boat ? Daylight come ...

[@michelinocristiani7561]

RIGHT-HAND Ciao Mi piacciono la musica dei Police forza Roma e Canosa di Puglia

[@kevinkiley6503]

Sting dressed like Michael Myers from Halloween 😳

[@tv2109]

you are dead on my friend

[@tokyo7769]

Totally Tubular...you know?! lol

[@glueforall]

it was awesome up until the "day-ooo" crap...and quoting harry belafonte.....but the Police are cool

[@thepurplebearisepic]

Why? People on KZbin should be here, not on Nicki Minaj's video!
