Sting - Message In A Bottle (Live)

[@RangaNayanajithSilva]

We always respect this human being a lot because he was the only celebrity who visited Tsunami victims in our small island. FRIEND IN NEED IS THE FRIEND INDEED.

Josh Froese nails it on the drums. He is playing with the Foos now. ❤

Amazing drumming 🙌

[@Muldoon111]

Sting has always had brilliant drummers. Josh Freese is no exception. I agree with you.

[@mell3109]

Josh is fantastic but I read this after I listened to the track and I thought it missed SC. The hits on the block are iconic and they were not there. Obviously he played what he wanted and should not copy BUT it ain’t the same SC ALL DAY LONG

[@whydoesgoogleneedmyname6839]

Josh Freese is such a monster on drums... And the fact he plays for both the punk band The Vandals and a star like Sting is awesome!

[@anoka8967]

It's incredible to see him playing here and now is the new Foo Fighters' drummer

Thrilled to see the Foo Fighters are still going strong with new impetus brought in by Josh Freese. Brilliant on the drums here, what a cracking signing by Dave Grohl!

[@sierramadison1279]

This is one of the best live performances I’ve ever seen. It should be studied in any music history class because of the guitar tones, sting’s overall stage presence, and all of his band mates. This video never fails to make me tear up from how passionate the crowd is! Bravo sting 🐝

Listen from Vinnie Colaiuta please.🤘😎

Josh Freese has played with many of my eclectically scattered favorite bands: Sting, Nine Inch Nails, Foo Fighters, Weezer and others. Love him!

[@AssisFee]

I come here to make a complaint with youtube. How can you not like more than once? Sting is one of the best artists of all time, his stage presence is surreal, not to mention his versatility in music. Congratulations Sting for being such a complete artist, and for this incredible performance. 👏👏👏👏👏

4-piece band with simplicity and complexity all at once... every instrument is played at top level. Including the recording. This should be preserved at the Louvre!

[@dafaqumean]

[@gonzacollao]

It's a small detail, but Sting playing the guitar riff on the bass in the intro sold it for me. Sounds amazing, such quality and such grace... This man is a legend.

[@RenPolumbarit]

it's amazing! it adds so much to that intro.

[@Aaron_Francis]

He does it really well on guitar. You should check out one of his live solo performances. Just him and the guitar. Spot on!

[@KasCalwein]

His plucking technique is also really cool

[@track5musicproductions]

[@dylanlobo5873]

No matter what drummer plays the police music it can't be as great as Stewart. He's so unique and his drum sound is so different. You know its him when he plays.

[@kittykatz4001]

Yes! 🙌 I have loved him since I was a teenager in the late 1970s! 🙌

[@gotonkar]

One of the best covers of the original Police classic...ever. (I'm just joshin' around, folks) Good on Sting for taking care of himself to be able to still do such awesome renditions decades later. One of the all time best songs. I share it with my kids.

[@DeborahLuptak]

Nothing compares to seeing Sting in person. He is magnetic when watching him on a video or on television but when you are watching him in a live concert, there is an energy there that is rare and something I have rarely witnessed before. His presence commands the venue with a power that cannot be resisted or ignored and it leaves you feeling like you have experienced music at it's uplifting best and on the deepest intellectual and very human level.

[@gmalt888]

I grew up three streets away from Sting....he went to my school (I was 15 years younger); him, Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits; Eric Burdon of the Animals and Brian Johnson of AC/DC totally represent the passion of Newcastle people.

[@DeborahLuptak]

@@gmalt888 I can see why they do. They represent the passion of many people around the world, including mine. There must be something in the water there! Thank you for your comment.

[@ranggafirdaus389]

You can search "ONCE MEKEL" he is a indonesian singer, his voice like Sting.

[@DeborahLuptak]

@@ranggafirdaus389 - Oh, thank you so much. I will do that the next time I visit here.

[@kabemccallister6859]

Many will disagree, but I think this is better than the original. Sting is killing it. His bass sounds great as always, but his vocal performance is so dialed in, and his tone is so good that it almost seems like a studio recording. His voice has gained character with age. The guitars and drums here also sound amazing.

[@chefgiovanni]

Timeless classic. And a big hand for the amazing guitar and drummer !

[@chrisi.9196]

Music connects people. A truly magical power and Sting sings as if he never got old: amazing performance!

Sting sounds the same as he did back then with the police. This man is unique in every way possible.

[@AJasonNorthrup]

eric izzett no, his voice sounds hoarser.

+Maurizio Nieddu he plays it in the same key. message in a bottle is in c#m

[@lightaces]

When I saw him with the Polic e in 2008, my impression was he could hit the same notes, but not as often. There were songs played in lower keys, and other melodies where he sang a low note instead of a high. For "So Lonely" he only sang the last verse high. So the notes are still there, but he has to be a bit more careful with his voice.

[@StenSturesKanal]

He sounds different but better

[@rcpete7055]

He is fantastic a studio recording is obviously going to be better.. absolute icon!#

The two guitars make a big difference to the tonal breadth of the verses, and I missed Copeland's crazy tight snare. I agree, it's very different but I like what they did here.

My best version maybe live synchronicty..this version ok though with 2 guitar..but miss some drum fill by the only stewart coppeland. Its just me perhaps.
