Sting From the movie "Bring on the Night"

Real musicians - Check out Sting, Omar Hakim on drums the late great Kenny Kirkland on keyboards Darryl Jones (currently with the Stones) and Brandford Marsalis on soprano sax

[@sunbeamfactory5171]

Branford Marsalis is responsible for so much of the sound of this album.

[@peterdrake5156]

What an absolute MONSTER solo from Branford!

[@johndiraimo1444]

Mr. Omar... yes!!! I saw the movie at least 10 times. Kenny Kirkland was so good. The whole band was awesome.

[@adgo22]

Never got to see the Police unfortunatly but saw this lineup on 9-14-85 in Toronto..one of the best gigs ever..I eventually wore out that Blue Turtles cassette !! Fantastic period for music and Sting's finest effort in my honest opinion..

[@63Baggies]

As good as all of the other guys are, Sting has NEVER had a better band than this.

[@evanalston1125]

This is by far one of the best bands ever assembled.

[@mrbithead9617]

Robert Dore 💯

[@middleground1858]

Umm Police was not his band....

[@sullybiker6520]

I'm not so sure. What I find so interesting about 80s sting - and this film was him at his solo apoapsis - is this weird paradox. The style borders on muzak, it's very much of its period and yet there's still something very magical in the arrangements; I much prefer this album's version of _Tea in the Sahara_ for example. This was the direction Sting always wanted, the control he ended The Police for. Was it worth it? Andy Summers didn't think so, and I'm not sure myself that this was the creative payoff he thought it would be. The friction and musical tension in The Police made something timeless.

[@AlobytesOgniddove]

Yep

[@jml-rj5re]

Kenny Kirkland. GOAT.

[@Rex-gu1bu]

Stewart and Andy watching from the second floor was nice touch...)

[@Franzie2105]

Brandford ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@chicagobassplayer7175]

This band just killed it!

[@NjonjoNdehi]

You can't assemble a better band than this one.

[@mstephens44]

Loved the changes during the jam parts. Great re-imagining

[@johnniesmith3041]

All star band.. These guys were as good as it gets in the 80's

[@jamesnussbaum]

Truly an indespensible drummer.....Omar Hakim....Sharing my Vegan Indian Food with this Gentleman att some future time we hope....

[@maxkerzan64]

Best solo ever

[@troyfleming8273]

This beyond dope......ever seen The Police or Sting live? Let's go!!! The sonics are the same.....

[@RCGB31]

It doesn't get any better !

[@furiacabocla2furiacabocla589]

They expand fusion to another level in that magical formation. The best instrumentist of that time and sting daring to prove his geniality..

[@brucewilson2763]

When I get my Parisienne mansion this is the house band I want.

[@DrumWild]

I saw this in the theaters in 1985!

[@anndavis2920]

I had to rent it from the video store in chicago.

[@enriquemurillo5355]

Fenomenal!

[@nancykane8680]

Not aware of this song But, love the dichotomy of it all!!! ❤❤

[@kevgamble]

Marvelous band. At the same time, you can take Copeland & Summers out of the band, but you can't take them out of the music.

[@maurywood492]

white man

[@patricktiglao]

Vinnie is my favorite drummer,but I will take this Sting band with Omar in the chair over any of his other bands including those with VC.

[@louisplante5199]

That band i saw in sept 85 in Montréal canada it was big

[@gambooyt]

2:21 : Yamaha DX7 spotted

[@samuelouellette4351]

One lucky guy synchronicitygav

[@sophieclain5280]

Je sais

[@carloscesarsilvapiressilva8086]

Francamente 154 curtidas? Qual o problema será? Banda pesada, Sting nem se fala, música boa de verdade, qual o problema?....

[@zackstone1347]

What's up with the fools dancing though?

[@manigoug3925]

is this out on cd some where ?

[@roomfullofbasses]

Mani Goug there is the double live cd “Bring on the Night” with different versions of the tunes from the movie.

[@XanAxDdu]

we would need more official double albums of this tour and i don't know how to ask that to sting we need a 6 cd box any cd of 80 minutes maybe only in that way i would be satisfied

[@sophiakoulart]

Ron I have the original vinyl

[@khalidnetmsncom]

On the Dream of the Blue Turtles album.

[@charleswinokoor6023]

As great as this band was I still prefer the original version.

[@kenjones6441]

Which original version. This is the original band unless you mean the Police who couldn’t play this type of stuff.

[@briancrowley6413]

when the rockumentary "bring on the night" was released in 1987... Sting established himself as a solo artist. In 2020, My hairline is better than his and is original.

[@maurywood492]

Sting is many things, but a jazz guitarist he is not...

[@mikeharty4536]

Lucky, ducky, marginally-talented white guy to be surrounded by the ultra=creme of the crop of the finest American musicians of that era. He would be lost without them.

[@Riddim4]

Well, he did write some great tunes.

[@shanewalsh4337]

He hired them as a backing band, that marginally talented white guy👍And they all jumped at the gig.

[@michaelehlert9]

LOL

[@danielkokal8819]

playing the music is one thing.... creating it is another.

[@Bjorlin1]

Stings songwriting abilities is up there with the greatest.

[@alanscott7798]

It's got no teeth this version, gimme The Police every time.

[@nyabinghidjehutti8855]

"Change how they played?!??" That's among the most arrogantly ignorant Eurocentric nonsense ever stated. His limited exposure to jazz betrays him. Plenty of jazz solos come burning out the gate. There's a difference between preparing for the gig and what a jazz player does on it. He had no idea the level of musicianship with which he had associated himself. Betcha he knows now and is embarrassed by many things he said in that docu.

[@JerryT21]

You missed his point 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@maurywood492]

sting - wow - super white and cringy, eck, bad take here...
