[HD] The Police - Roxanne (HP 1979)

The Police - Roxanne (Hatfield Polytechnic 1979)

[@strangerphantom9680]

This is the best version of the song!!

[@quinnlax976]

Absolutely agree. Fourth time buying this album. Oldest, 6 year old, wants a drum set. Absolutely.

[@matthewherman5980]

I’m inclined to agree

[@ruibessa7883]

The rock and roll hall of Fame is my favorite version

[@jaymeadors7370]

Saw Sting on the 15th in Houston. Still brings it 100% Great singer and song writer!

[@snookahana4272]

I was here in this tiny place and worked, helped catering to the bands. 17 years old....I have many stories good times.

[@agentsmith4478]

Most amazing version of this song.. love the extended portion

[@Spookje09]

Copeland is the reason I bought a Tama Imperialstar as my first proper kit back in the early 80s at 13 years old from my first job washing dishes in a restaurant.

[@mholdr]

damn fine version.....great vocals by the Stingmeister...

[@cmc6112]

A complete wanker. Copeland and Summers heart of that band.

[@awwaller]

@@cmc6112 …two’s company, three’s a crowd ; however despite his arrogance, I doubt they would have had the same success without a singer with such a distinctive voice, song writing ability and the shear drive to succeed. He was talismanic. And he played the bass quite well.

[@lloydhentley7639]

2/20/22 MY LOVE FOR THIS SONG BROUGHT ME HERE TODAY!!!

[@tommytong2854]

Same. I had to take a trap break to get my live, stings fix. It’s amazing! I could sample about 50 tracks from this for the bros.. 👍🏿… but I won’t touch it! This is too pristine!!

[@drwheycooler8423]

The way Copeland hears music and applies his drumming is just so amazing...

[@AlobytesOgniddove]

amazing vocal energy!!!

[@Roonlovesfish3874]

3:48-3:58 sounds so pretty! Thanks for the upload! Police all the way!

[@LordoftheJimmy]

JESUS CHRIST! THAT WAS AMAZING!!!

[@johngray9434]

LordoftheJimmy Confirmed! Smokin hot!

[@ferdinandwang1165]

It was Andy's suggestion that the band be a trio. One great decision.

[@1populist]

The Police are professional musicians.

[@yacobz]

Definitely. Only weak point is maybe the guitarist. Decent rhythm, but poor lead.

[@peterhopqk]

Stewart with the iconic legendary short shorts LOL

[@frankalfar]

Ladies and gentlemen Mr.Stewart Copeland!!!!!!! This is what live is kids!!!!!

[@javierdiazsantana]

Dig this with headphones and a bass boost, sounds beautiful c:

[@ANDROIDEK1975]

najlepsze wykonanie tego utworu w JEGO wykonaniu

[@macjam9090]

amazing drumming. Great version great band.

[@artysanmobile]

I worked with The Police twice in 1979. They were largely unknown, having a single song on the radio, of course this one. Note the recording engineer hasn’t a clue Andy is singing an essential harmony. By 1980, they were a global phenomenon. It was a dizzying pace.

[@NicoleKrawczyk]

2:08 // Sting: Right, Stu... //Stewart: Nope...I'm gonna do this yet a while longer :D

[@chriskennard5920]

Good recovery Mr Summers...after that seventh chord at 0.55 instead of the minor chord it should have been - totally forgiven, what a fantastic performance!

[@awwaller]

…hope you also forgave Sting for his wavering voice around 4:02.

[@emileedavis4263]

Woah I've been waiting for a good live one of my favorite police song. Yessirrrrr.

[@erikwouwenaar5964]

The Police was the best part of my life

[@eduxvi_]

the best album ever

[@nicolavignati128]

One of the greatest song from Police, once of the most exciting group of pop music ever.

[@soccablau9203]

dont ever say pop music ever again

[@porkchoptc]

socca blau He is technically right. Pop music used to mean whatever was popular at the time, so anything from Bob Dylan to Metallica have been pop music. It wasn't until the early to mid 90s that the term pop music was actually used as a name for a genre.

[@fuckamericanidiot]

@@soccablau9203 Ofc it's pop music. Pop/rock, pop, rock, whatever. They had catchy choruses, massive success, conventional song structures.

[@josehermosilla4425]

La mejor versión en vivo , genial

[@ivanbarria1714]

walking after school to the house. Headphones at full volume.¡¡¡

[@MsThissell]

Flew across the country in 2007 to watch a reunion tour show and they didn't play Roxanne. Awesome show, a chilling "Wrapped Around Your Finger," but not Roxanne!

[@tanakaafricahomedecor4202]

It great to hear it as he work shopped it to become the classic it is today!

[@glens4918]

Classic

[@suszy5712]

Where is this concert? God, 1979! Love it ❤

[@kevinsavo718]

Man he could hit high notes back then

[@yacobz]

Where's the chorus tho?

[@MattTheLizard]

I have been trying to identify this version. I have an old cassette I recorded off the radio, I thought it was a bootleg. Thanks!

[@goanna2012]

i remember being in that crowd ....

[@edwinjamespope8118]

did you realise at the time the genius in front of you?

[@roxana6889s]

Love it!

[@marceliru]

Rooooooooooxana

[@right-hand1388]

Roxana Mirshahi ooh lucky girl 😁

[@johngray9434]

Blazed out ,Mind at ease!!!!

[@stefanoburlando1162]

Quando i concerti erano senza i cellulari.. che tristezza oggi...

[@Semiam1]

Those beautiful chords from Andy. Those chords are Roxanne.

[@josemiguelhermosilla1357]

Sin duda la mejor versión en new York

[@quinabarrancochacon7867]

❤

[@Jmos101]

different crowds back then. ha i kinda wish i could time machine to the 80's or 70's to see what its like. being in the 90's and not remember the 90's sucks ha

[@djzen07]

Los putos AMOSSSS!!!!

[@FactbasedReality0421]

Is that a fretless bass? Show-off!

[@bassistdc]

Yep a fretless p bass. Sting played mostly fretless basses on early Police songs. He played upright bass in jazz bands before the Police.

[@vagabond1776]

I’m hopping with the crowd in 2023!😃

[@MarilynMansonIsBetterThanRap]

its my song! yay!

[@sash7551]

Stings voice is so prestige !!

[@Loennebergah]

Zero dislikes....

[@nathanb5579]

Wish they did the chorus like the record

[@yacobz]

Right? The chorus is literally the Turkey of the Thanksgiving dinner.

[@fuckamericanidiot]

@@yacobz As in everybody wants it but nobody really likes it? xd Not the best analogy

[@courtneygillespie1187]

This song is better live 😌

[@roof-metall-band]

Добро пожаловать на шоу Стюрда Купленда.

[@josemiguelhermosilla1357]

Que épova Perrin solo police

[@adamacote]

I have this on a bootleg tape somewhere...

[@GolfTesla]

Interesting guitar variations (snd some minor glitches) as compared to the record version

[@waltermejia3134]

AT 2:07.... Does Sting Say FACEBOOK? ITs supposed to be 1979!

[@waltermejia3134]

True! I did mishear that.

[@Ruvigy]

Walter Mejia That's some Illuminati shit going on right there.

[@dav3dude211]

Walter Mejia he saying right step

[@samvanaelst4985]

Walter Mejia He's saying: play it Stu!

[@sergiorodriguez8631]

Rigth stuff

[@jamesstewart8377]

Fuck he had some pipes didn’t he

[@right-hand1388]

4:02 what do you do sting ? :-D

[@Afroguitarman]

Man 2:05 - 2:35 How do you do it Stu?

[@right-hand1388]

Afroguitarman we dont know ! :)

[@miscovers]

0:56 jajajaj se equivocaron, hasta los grandes se equivocan, son los mejores

[@ivanbarria1714]

Stud to Sting: "it get lost just a little confusing for the fucking bass playing element ..."

[@gullyfoyle-uf6fr]

I think I have those same socks and shorts that Copeland is wearing....not sure what that says about me...

[@youiti2nz]

6-3〜dunedunedunedunedune

[@johngray9434]

Sounds so much better when Sting isn't trying to tell Stewart how to play the drums!

[@odaydrums]

they were trying to figure out what they played. Not Bad GOOD

[@indiegente16]

el coro "you don't have to put on the red light" no es como en el cd ! no lo grita !! csmr esa parte le da energia !!!

[@ricklopez2314]

Y does the guitar stop around 1:00

[@jacquesbouchard3191]

[@redskin133]

mistake i guess

[@LudwolfBeethozart1485]

5:12-5:19 I love this part

[@alecolacino5207]

Does anybody know where and when this great Police concert was recorded?

[@Roonlovesfish3874]

Rock goes to college, Hatfield Polytechnique, 1979.

[@AllisterCaine]

​@@Roonlovesfish3874blows my mind how good the recording is. Such quality is rare these days... Well besides how amazing the band was. A small location... And it was free iirc.

[@timothywolfe3891]

Stewart Copeland was the anti-Neil Peart drummer, but he was also a bad-ass.

[@kachunski]

but that could be right too. i mean, maybe he meant to do that on purpose.

[@MrKillerpanda123]

By horrible I mean very quiet...until the end part..

[@jamalb599]

Larry Bird on drums

[@marklecona329]

Is this song considered reggae?

[@Vaisin]

Reggae rock and new wave (early new wave)

[@Roonlovesfish3874]

Reggae-ish.

[@ramshaar2597]

Happy fretless days now he is more rif basist no solos les improvise 😐

[@miscovers]

0.55 se equivoco el guitarrista XD jajajja hasta a los grandes les sucede

[@isaiahcrvz]

stew lookin like larry bird lmao

[@OlaOOp]

I wish i could live in it too so i'd do many infringements in order to be punish by The Policemen. ^^

[@samsonwilkinson8090]

Sounds a bit rough to me...

[@fuckamericanidiot]

Sounds live

[@bumphillips1042]

At least Stewart uses the proper grip. A sure sign of formal training.

[@bassistdc]

I noticed that. I see few drummers using the traditional grip.

[@MrKillerpanda123]

Wow...what a horrible crowd...then again this was in the 70's...

[@morriseysaul6757]

la improvisacion no pasa nada con police enfria la musica

[@merlingortizgonzalez3420]

Aquí los que venimos de Tik Tok…

[@svizzerotbm4790]

Voce stratosferica di sting , inimitabile
