SO COOL!| FIRST TIME HEARING The Police - Bring On The Night REACTION

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

My favorite band ever to this day! Stewart Copeland is an absolute GENIUS on the drums. ❤❤❤

[@phil4893]

He is fantastic. His drumming on No Time This Time was amazing.

[@keithkoenig5320]

My favorite Rock drummer. Even Neil Peart was a big fan of Copeland.

[@shspurs1342]

@@keithkoenig5320 My favourite Drummer of all time is Bill Ward. Number 2 on my list is Stewart Copleand.

[@AndreBlige-vb3ur]

Driven To Tears by The Police is a must listen

[@smd2169]

The live version from Frejus is outstanding.

[@RabbiSteve]

Agree with both comments here.

[@GiovanniPerez-cn4gy]

Zenyata Mondata ❤❤❤

[@garyarnett1220]

The Police were something we never knew we wanted....A Reggae influenced 3 piece British Band. Everything so original and great.

[@CousinWhatIsIt]

The Police - "Synchronicity II" "Driven to Tears" "When the World is Running Down"

[@michelleb9808]

Yes!!!

[@Kaddywompous]

Yes, those, and about a dozen and a half I could name 😀

[@dawggirl]

Also Murder By Numbers

[@AndreBlige-vb3ur]

Don't forget Tea in the Sahara, Canary in a Coalmine, Man in a Suitcase, Invisible Sun, Ms Gradenko, Peanuts & The Beds Too Big Without You

[@surlechapeau]

Jay & Amber, You'll love their "Synchronicity II" and "The Beds To Big Without You"!!!!

[@anjiharrell6175]

I’ve asked so many times for Synchronicity I’m starting to I’m the only one who ever liked the song. 😆 Lol!

[@yvettepatterson156]

"Bed's Too Big" is a great reggae vibe!

[@carlpeterson8182]

Both of these are great and so different from each other.

[@subwaygoddess1]

​@@yvettepatterson156I love it. I've requested it a few times!!😊

[@superturkle]

id like to see their reaction to synchronicity II; great song but also scary dark

[@seanswinton6242]

"Bring On The Night" was also the name of Sting's documentary on the formation of his jazz supergroup for his debut solo album. Th group consisted of Bradford Marsalis on saxophone, bassist Daryl Jones, piano player the late Kenny Kirkland, and drummer Omar Hakim.

[@TheAcarch2]

Wonderful documentary, I own it on video cassette. Great rehearsals and build-up to his opening night concert.

[@elizabethfranco1284]

They need to check out The Marsalis Family to get into some jazz

[@bsilvers1037]

Bring on the night/ World is running down live from the double album is the far superior version of this tune.

[@bkunath]

The Kenny Kirkland solo on Bring on the Night/World is Running Down is legendary.

[@shspurs1342]

Correct that should’ve have been labelled a band. Not a sting solo project.

[@Serai3]

"Bring on the night," were Gary Gilmore's last words as he was about to be executed. He was a convicted murderer who famously refused his right to appeal and asked for the death penalty. He got it, and Norman Mailer's book about him, "The Executioner's Song," inspired Sting to make this song about him.

[@girlwithflaxenhair7438]

Wow I had no idea this song was written about true life event 😮. Thanks for the info 😊.

[@simonround2439]

One of at least two songs written about him. Also, Looking Through Gary Gilmour's Eyes, by The Adverts.

[@basilrug]

According to Sting, The song is about a man named Gary Gilmore, who was the last man to be executed by firing squad in the USA. He was executed at dusk. Therefore the lyric “bring on the night I couldn’t stand another hour of daylight“. It’s a dark subject, but a brilliant song

[@AndersonDawesWasRight]

IIRC Gary Gilmore's claim to fame was that he was the first to be executed in the USA for many years. Before him there was a tacit agreement that a death sentence really meant life imprisonment.

[@KenRoerden]

Another fantastic Police song. The sounds Andy Summers created are otherworldly. So many more great tracks left to explore. Give Invisible Sun, Tea In The Sahara and Murder By Numbers a listen.

[@mightyV444]

The guitar _solos_ on the studio version are actually played by Sting! 😉

[@TurkeyVol]

The Police are what happens when an American expat living in London, obsessed with reggae and ska rhythms gets thrown together with a teacher moonlighting as a jazz bass player by a manager who happens to be the drummer's brother, and an experimental/prog guitarist with more road miles under his belt than the rest of the band combined. You said it, no one sounds like the Police, then or now. PS, please react to Sting's "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free"

[@woodyheywood8792]

well said

[@LostInSweden-cc2zu]

Bass, guitar, drums, voice. Complete. Never bettered.

[@alwaysengines]

This is the first song that made me fall in love with The Police even though I’d had heard their radio hits. Something about the song put me a chill mood

[@joesmith8725]

The Police were a unique band. They fused reggae, new wave. punk, rock , jazz all together. The African tribal sound yall hearing is the Carribean music (reggae, calypso, Island tropical music). It originates from Africa. The UK had a lot of Carribean immigrants that hung out with the British punk rockers. Thats where you get the fusion at the time. They liked each others company and music.

[@bruceschultz3121]

I was thinking of how many times I've traveled and been on a beach in the southern hemisphere playing this song on a gorgeous beach, then Jay said it. EXACTLY!

[@StuartJ]

First album I ever owned. Played it to death.

[@peckish_tooth6515]

You probably spotted their reggae influence. Check out "The Bed's Too Big Without You". They really paid their dues with that one.

[@trjbrew]

Bring on the night is also the name of Sting's movie, that chronicles the making of his first solo album. It came out in 1985, pretty good check it out.

[@007ndc]

Great album cut from The Police my favorite band. These three guys are consummate world class musicians

[@db-gb5xi]

Solo Stings songs - If You Love Someone Set Them Free, When We Dance, Fortress Around Your Heart, Love Is the Seventh Wave, We'll Be Together, Moon Over Bourbon Street, All This Time, If I Ever Lose My Faith In You, The Cowboy Song, Brand New Day (Stevie Wonder on the harmonica), mad about you.

[@gigi-ij1hk]

Free free, set them free...

[@alexmarin4245]

One of the best bands ever! Famous around the world! Reggatta de Blanc, great album. I LOVE IT!

[@BuddyBoy68]

Hi, you two! It's Andrew Erroch fae Paisley in Scotland here. This song really takes me back to being a teenager, living in my parents' house, with my older brother playing his Police records. He now has some very special edition copies. This song was more of an album track, but a very good one, although it didn't get very far in the charts. I'm going to suggest one I've suggested before and it's from this same excellent Reggatta de Blanc album. It's 'The Bed's Too Big Without You' with a killer base track. That one didn't get anywhere in the charts either, but it is one of my favourites, because it's brilliant. Æx 🙏

[@jesusfernandez]

andy summers made a spanish rock version with vinnie colaiuta and the singer of soda stereo gustavo cerati, called "traeme la noche". amazing version

[@tylerhackner9731]

One of my favorite police songs

[@seanswinton6242]

Same here.

[@murraytown4]

You should check out Don’t Stand so Close to Me. Sting was a teacher and, spoiler alert, the theme of the song and video is teaching.

[@mightyV444]

It's about a student having the hots for her teacher and him trying his best to resist temptation! 😄

[@SanKings_Patti]

This song is all around a VIBE❣️❣️

[@yvettepatterson156]

Jay/Amber - Thanks for playing this. This is one of my favorite Police songs. I also think you'll like "Driven to Tears," by the Police and "Children's Crusade," by Sting.

Police deep cut - "Masoko Tanga" - super groovy, Sting dreamt the lyrics. Cool tune.

[@andreabellocchi3840]

This is really one of the best ever songs !!

[@barmalgran666]

One of the greatest tracks composed by a trio- there technicality outshines.

[@clg3697]

Amber, I also went away for a while while listening to this beautiful piece of music. Glad we could take a trip together & thanks for bringing me back.💜

[@williamthelast1]

Their best song to me !!! Gigantic !!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ And the guitar !!!!

[@maryvallas772]

One of my favorites! I can't keep from dancing when this song is playing! Another great one with a similar vibe is Bed's Too Big Without You. But first, I want you to listen to Synchronicity II. It's yet a whole other side of them and their amazing storytelling abilities!

[@electronic80s]

Always amazes me that The Police are only a 3 piece band... It sounds so full, the layers are so lush Greetings from Blue Mountains (Sydney), Australia

[@michaelbriefs9764]

You guys have to hear Sting's live version of this song, from his documentary "Bring on the Night"!! He mixes it with another Police song called "When the World is Running Down" and it is an amazing jam!! You have to hear it!

[@richardschilling6639]

That song jammed

[@007ndc]

Also notice that the intro guitar riff was lifted by Stevie Nicks in her hit song Edge of Seventeen

[@timwhiteside9971]

also by beyonce in her song bootylisious .

[@tinahairston6383]

One of my favorites and one of the best tracks on the Regatta de Blanc album. You've already reacted to Message In A Bottle. Too bad you're not watching the official video. That tribal sound was just Sting for his solo work.

[@dklapec]

Their sound was SO unique in the late 1970's early 80's we were called weird for listening to them and saying wait these guys are amazing.

[@sebastianschilling7337]

The cover recorded by Gustavo Cerati, Andy Summers and Vinnie Colaiuta for this song (called in Spanish “Tráeme la Noche”), is simply one of the best cover songs I have ever listened to.

[@marybloomfield2646]

I loved this back in the day. Sting on acoustic guitar … and playing it like a bassisit, according to Andy Summers.

[@moshpuppy13]

This song is dope

[@megwhite8624]

Hands down, my favorite Police song!

[@mightyV444]

'Roxanne' was playing at the local supermarket only about half an hour before I started watching this video! 😄 The weird guitar solos in 'Bring On The Night' were played by Sting, by the way 🙂

[@SM-McKraken]

Andy Summers is an underrated guitarist for sure. So glad you two gave this one a listen!! 🥰

[@davidbecker8227]

I only saw them play live once. It was 1979 in a club in Granite City, Illinois. The opening act was an early Pat Benatar. I have not yet seen a music event as transformational or influential. Imagine hearing this song live with each key change and tone shift intact from the album. They were consummate professionals and flawless musicians.

[@StevenTyree-sl2nx]

Regatta de Blanc was a truly incredible album, start to finish

[@skinhitter27]

More Reggae Vibes: '311' - Amber... For ya girl! A whole genre to check out.

[@steved1135]

A great track, from the best album, of the best band ever in the world. Cheers.

[@benny10210]

Great choice. One of their best. The fast picking guitar from Andy Summers in the verse while Sting takes over the offbeat reggae guitar on the bass. Then they both swap back to onbeat bass and traditional offbeat guitar in the chorus - so clever. None of this possible without the true genius of Stewart Copeland. Love the reverb on the kick drum. Agree with the comment below - The Bed's Too Big Without You needs a listen. More genius rhythms to behold. You'll love it.

[@Jude_196]

SUCH ORIGINAL SOUNDS!! LOVE The Police!! THANKS, YA'LL!! (already suggested a bunch of their songs on your last reaction....) :)

[@georgeharrison5362]

Andy Summers one of the most under rated greats of guitar playing. More of a tool than an instrument in Andys hands. Trained from his head to his toes musically and you knew he did each thing through knowledge and not by accident like most others.

[@stevemillar4248]

The truly great ones really seem to hit the ground running, don't they. Incredible from the get-go.

[@ImpartiallySpeaking]

It’s actually a police cover version of an old Last Exit number from 1974. So many of their songs are re-recorded versions of material from the earlier band in Newcastle which included Sting and the ultra talented Gerry Richardson.

[@ErikaSMHS]

MY FAVORITE album!! I can’t believe you just did this!! Righteous ❤ Seriously…I’m in awe!! Shocked 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@hayesboy2481]

This song is even better live. They used to extend this and jam in the middle of the song in their early days. Can I suggest Masoka Tanga from their first album. It has 3 different bass lines! Jay would love it.

[@lourenzi8820]

One of their greatest songs!!

[@alexhorsburgh5986]

The Police will always be cool...lucky enough to hear this track in its original time frame and in 1979 there was nothing like it.. .

[@jermainelandrum6768]

Man, the guitar just burns on this… everything does. Just reminds you of a cool fall night driving

[@DorkThink]

Still own this vinyl. Magical ✨ Edit: Andy (lead guitar) and Stewart (drummer) can't be left out of the genius that are The Police. Each is a genius at their particular craft. And they fought as much as Fleetwood Mac, just not for as many decades. 😆

I still miss them as a band. Could'nt believe it when they fell apart, I think it was 86 when it was confirmed and they released their singles album that had the Don't stand so close rework on it (sad but not as good as the original) I lived in hope for years that they might just be able to patch it up for 1 more album😔
