Sting. The Police - Can't Stand Losing You - BBC HD Live Earth

[@francoisdubois80]

I love the arragement of sticking Reggatta De Blanc in the middle of Can't Stand Losing You. I thought it was something special for this reunion / farwell tour, and then I saw a video recorded in 1979 where they did the same arrangement.

[@gregkulig8463]

Stewart Copeland's drumming is simply on another level. The guy is a beast! Hes like a fine wine, he just gets better with age

[@motorcaster57]

He is a badass... I saw the Police 3 times and even in the early days Stewart was the visual center of the show and he always plays like his hair is on fire but it is always very refined and composed... His drums tuned high creating music not just rhythm... He has such a great understanding of world rhythms and Western 2 and 4... He creates a special groove in songs that no one else is cabable of...... There is no Police without him... Everybody is amazing in this band... As great as Stings song writing and singer chops are, he just couldn't recreate the magic without the other 2 and maybe that is because the bar is set so high when these 3 performed in their greatest days....

Stewart Copeland is the backbone if this legendary band.

[@dynjarren8355]

I like how Andy Summers plays that rhythmic part on Guitar 🎸. Turning the guitar into a rhythmic instrument 🎸!

[@dynjarren8355]

@Punch Down King now you’re stretching or reaching! The guitar is only rhythmic if you use it like a Club and bang a drum with it.

I know. There are obsessive-compulsive people, autistic people, absolutely perfectionists, extra precise people or crazy geniuses who hit the drums without such a minor mistakes, like one millisecond. That's how I recognize two drummers; 1 is from the police and the other is from Simple Minds

[@cletusvandamme6262]

I absolutely love watching Stewart Copeland perform Live. The man is a Beast, a virtual demon possessed of boundless energy. All 3 of them are just bursting with Talent, the likes of which will never be seen again in our drab music culture of the past 3 decades.

The ending would have been better if Sting looked at the other 2 incredible musicians on stage who made him who he is. His own worst enemy.

[@TruNordics14]

The Police, *please* do a new record of simple rock songs like your first 3 records.

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

We kind of pretty much got that in Sting's new LP, 57th & 9th. Really, it could've been labeled a Police album, in terms of style and lyrical content; all that was missing was Stewart and Andy. He should get a Grammy for Best Rock Performance for the entire album. With some help from the other two officers, it could've been another Police classic to rival Synchronicity, which is their apex.

[@TruNordics14]

nice, will check it out

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

Trust me, when you hear songs like, "I Can't Stop Thinking About You", "50,000", "Down, Down, Down", and (esp.) "Petrol Head", you'll swear you're hearing news songs by The Police (the accompanying drums and guitars sound very Copeland/Summers-esque; as if Sting were channeling the kind of energy and style that they group as a whole did from 1977-1984/2007/08). "One Fine Day" and "Heading South On The Great North Road" are instant classics. The only problems with the album are that it should have been longer (2 more songs would've been perfect), a little more musically detailed (guitar solos and instrumental interludes between the verses and after the codas, please!), and produced with a little more flourishes on some of the tunes. The album was recorded in less than 4 months, so, there's somewhat of a raw punkishness to it some of the time. But, the first time I heard the CD/LP, I said, "So, why didn't Sting just call up the boys and ask them to play and collaborate with him on this rather very Police-like collection of songs? This is basically what many of us fans wanted to receive after the glorious Certifiable Tour and CD/LP/DVD. I guess this is the next best thing? I'm getting my Police fix pretty much while listening to this..." After a handful of listens, the entire album grows even more on you. The Deluxe and/or Tour Editions are the best to own, since the alternate takes/versions of a couple of songs are featured, along w/ a recent concert. Enjoy!

[@TruNordics14]

I checked his new stuff out last night and like it pretty well, glad he kind of returned to his Police roots!. I can think of a hundred reasons why they wouldn't amp up for a "reunion" record (though Andy Summers would have been up for it). Don't remember who but some super group member (Phil Collins I think) said when a group that big get back togetherfor a new record, it's such a big deal, hype train, business, expectations, etc. Agreed there are some production things with 57th & 9th that make me wince but it's still great "simple song writing 101" from someone who is a legend at it.

[@mariomessina6389]

Dominic miller and Vinnie Colaiuta do sound different then Andy and Stewart but I get where people say it could sound like a police album - Vinnie is very much a polyrhythmic drummer like Stewart . Stings bands always have been killer . I am a huge fan of those musicians and of course Andy and Stewart

[@raymondcuadrado4404]

all you so called drummer watch the master Stewart Copeland

[@pam164]

Sting is nothing without them

[@StrodtmanPercussion]

unnecessary ass comment, The Police were one of (if not) the greatest bands of all time. Stewart is one of my all time heroes, and so is Andy, but sting wrote 80% of the music. Not to mention his solo career has produced some of the greatest music ever made by anyone. Know your place, for our sake.

quick questions, i'm a newcommer to the police, is the drummer and guitarist still active musicians (like keep releasing music i mean by active)

there are some clips of Andy Summers gigs on YT. He also releases albums on a regular basis. Bear in mind he's nearly eighty years old now!!

[@Julian-um2om]

insanely late but Stewart composes operas and orchestras moreso nowadays, Andy plays in his own bands and plays police tunes very frequently
