These guys are right, the live version is like your crush coming to see you, but at 3:30 a.m. unannounced and drunk. The P could of D'ed if they had their stuff together tight. The studio version is tight. As soon as the song started, I thought, I am going to listen to the "good" one right after this and I'm off to do just that.

You may find that the drummer Stewart Copeland belongs in the PDC club. He is one of the best drummers in rock, and is always so much fun to watch. He is notorious for his tempo changes and changing the overall feel of the song as he plays. You may want to go back to their first single, Roxanne.

This is not a really good live version, and the song itself doesn't really work live. The studio version is much better. The song was recorded and mixed in the Caribbean on the island of Montserat, which is why it has that tropical feel. I believe there are steel drums on the studio track.

I love the group The Police, but the kids today object to those lyrics we loved back in the 80's, so not sure what to recommend that you wouldn't raise an eyebrow to, but Sting by himself - he has a lot of PDC worthy songs. I think if you check out his song It's Probably Me you'd agree he's totally club eligible. Other great songs of his are Desert Rose, Seven Days, and of course If I Ever Lose My Faith in You. There's others, but these will get you started chucking your P's at the stage. ;) lol

Oh Britt, you would love Stings solo works for PDC credentials. He has some amazing works. That said I have been a die hard Police fan for many decades. Tried to model a drumming style like Cpoeland; that lasted a month till I realized it was impossible. You should check out and save for 2025, he does a fantastic version of Funny Valentine with renoun trumpeter Chris Botti. The Police are a ton of fun live, but your very wise audience have often commented here below that their studio work is air tight!

This was The Police with their legendary frontman "Sting" (bass guitar & leadvocals) ! :) Sting is known for his "special" melodies with a lot of changes in it. He likes to experiment in many of his songs. :) I would recommed you to watch "king of pain" in duet with Lady Gaga on Stings birthday party a few years ago. They share a really good friendship. The energy in this live performace is so great... two generation's greats with huge respect and love for each other sharing the stage: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2eok3VuiNmmm5o Another very emotional performance is by Lady Gaga honoring Sting at the "Kennedy Center Honors 2014". She performed "If I ever loose my faith in you" by Sting in front of him in the crowd. He get's very emotional and I like her version of the song almost better then the original one. :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnbIlaFmfL2jaZI

You have an uncanny ability to always choose the worst live version of any song. I get it you don't do studio versions, but do you look at least at view counts when choosing which live video to use? The audio on this is abysmal and it's night and day between this and the studio version. I suggest your PDC club take into account your going to do a live and choose the link for you. Just a suggestion though, after many disappointed views across any artists and genres. Just looked, theres a live version of this song with 271k views, live from Rio, with significantly better audio. It wasnt the first to come up like the one you picked but its10x better

So. THE POLICE were/are a very peculiar act for the fact that they managed to smuggle very complex music into the 2 chord sparse, primitive, political and manic Punk genre -- and as a trio! Aside from the obvious: lyrics that reach the level of poetry in some cases and demand to be listened to, exciting music , and a sex symbol for a lead singer/songwriter, Sting. A takeaway is to notice how each instrument fits into its own designated place. No instrument steps on any other. As far as Sting's voice, my guess is that early on Sting sang too high too much for his baritone voice and "blew out" his voice. So nowadays, he can still sing out and belt excellently. But he can no longer sing softly.
