Stewart Copeland,one of the greatest drummers ever. He studied and experimented with all different kinds of music. Tremendous artist. All of them are.

[@davedwaid]

This is amazing, the Police at their best. Almost too fast but so in the pocket. Despite how much Sting and Copeland might have been at odds they were an incredible rhythm section with Summers just throwing tasty guitar atmosphere all over the place. Too bad there are so many close-ups of Stings head and not more of the band playing their instruments.

[@MyVideos-fm7ug]

I remember reading something one time that they were all coked up prior to beginning the set… which can easily explain the faster tempo.

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

​@@MyVideos-fm7ugThat explains what I was picking up on with Sting's weird head shaking he kept doing. I was wondering if he was coked up here.

[@timothyslaughter476]

Lol I don't know about coke but they always argued between band members as to the tempo of tunes played live. Of course these guys argued about everything.

Who the hell said that Stewart Copeland ain't no Neil Peart!!! Man i grew up loving Neil peart and i was 15 years old and this band highered me and i didn't take it serious the first practice i just winged it and they played everything from The cars, first album then metal and all that chick music i don't remember but they obviously could tell that I was just winging it and watching when to end or change you know i thought that o heard it all on the radio and THEN they said listen if you don't know this song by Monday night and it was Thursday and i was you know the first time I saw Rush live and it was only my second concert Kiss was first and i was i don't know young and then I saw Rush and was hooked on them , Neil. especially with with that big cool bad ass set snd and his Solo on the live all the world's a stage and that was it But i started listening to bruford , Vinny on Joe's Garage and over and over on the outside now like he was playing like the fills were like he was falling down the stairs ,crue slut and the Ocean is the ultimate solution with Bozzio the first song it was like 15 or 20 something minutes long and then terry bozzio with UK Ceasers pallice blues ,his flams around the kit power and his double Bass imitating his flam stuff on the snare or toms and then copping it with his feet and him.live with frank Zappa and Jeff beck anyway my bu polar is kicking my ass but you get the idea! Keith Carlock ,my long lost friend i.mean i miss him and.knew from the first time I saw hy that that God has given him and he definitely earned it but with the wayne Krantz band it was all over and i t jusy got better period with timmy Lavfrea I can't spell it but i love him too so great with no ego and just the nicest and coolest kat Bass man.period I love that guy and miss sll of them but sorry i going to close now because theres too much rot me snd i going to try and get back to to a simple and to that guy saying coplend ain't no peart First of all any buddy who compairs some thing like that id obviously a poor sole.Sorry guy but not trying to be a wise ass but oh sny yes i loved Rush like i said and fid learn that song Cygnus x1 listing to it onand 8 track radio and killed it and gelt it and loved it but i came back to those guys after the weekend snd nailed it and knew it note for note . I'm 59 and stii remember it because they scared me in to learning it perfectly and i believe i did !? But your comparison I'll leave yy waith this Friggin Stewart Copeland on everything ,his style everything and killing The Beds to big without you for get ,!!! No comparison period he is snd has that unique style period!!!!!!! God bless you ! I cant believe i texted sll this sty i have to ignore comments liy that God Bless sli oy you guys.peace

This was their Performance PEAK. while they got far richer in years to come, never again did they gel & was driving from start to finish you can see it in stewarts face & the singers face too.

[@ericwoodard1103]

I LOVE the Police and know that, as a trio, they have to adapt to live performances. Quite simply, they cannot make all the sounds and noises--keyboards mainly-- necessary to imitate an original studio performance. Long and short, this is why from a musical perspective alot of this sounds fairly crappy. Andy Summer was a unique player and his style just did not translate that well on some songs. Now, the energy and Stewart's drumming and Sting's voice really, really help to make up for it, but it still shows like on Message in a Bottle and others. They needed to embrace the fact that they needed another guitarist or keys player when they played live. But even still----they ROCKED live! (Nowadays, technology helps this issue tremendously--for better or worse: see the controversy of artists usiing backing tracks live.)

[@simonmaskell365]

I think they were the in thing back then. Geddy Lee, Paul Stanley and John Taylor used one. All in the 80s. I think they flopped eventually because they were to thin sounding and suited more the 80s pop. But im not 100% sure. CHEERS!

[@stereoroid]

@@Yes-gz9qs The Steinberger sound wasn't thin as such - reggae bassists picked them up for the solid fundamentals they produced - but the sound was almost *too* good because it was more even across the specrum, and thus had less "character".

Seriously, Sting is a phenomenal writer/singer. His bandmates are also phenomenal players. Incredible how they could not appreciate the quality of the musical chemistry. Copeland is a phenom in his own right.

[@edwarddavison320]

I don't think that's quite right. Eventually, Sting wanted to expand and grow. He certainly knew what stars he hitched his wagon to in Stewart and Andy. Their talents are indisputable. However, he's said it himself. At the end of the day, they were just a three piece. He hunkered for a larger ensemble and you could hear that in the arrangements of the 4th and 5th Police albums, Ghosts In The Machine and Synchronicity. They are bigger arrangements with horns and keys, much different than those of Regatta De Blanc and Outlandos D'amour. All three were monsters on their instruments.

The Police were my client twice in 1979, their very early years. Our first show they showed up in a Ford Econoline van and played for 250 very lucky people. They performed Message In A Bottle prior to its release and were very excited about that. They were superb. Our second show was some 5-6 months later at a sold out theater in Miami.

I think that Geddy Lee can sing with his mouth while playing bass guitar with his hands and synth with one foot... at the same time. And when he stops playing bass with his hands, he plays a synth and i am sure that there are bass pedals under this keyboard, that he plays with at least one foot. So, yes, Mr Copeland should join Rush !

Though the version of Demolition Man from this concert absolutely slays, this show is far from their best performance. Change the stupid clickbait title.

[@markshorter76]

Those synth pedals were just way too loud in this mix. In many other live recordings they are actually ok.

[@christheghostwriter]

@@NelsonClick could just be a soundboard mix to the PA. Front of house mixes have to balance the stage volume with the PA volume. If the keys were barely audible on the stage, they'd be cranked in the PA. Conversely, if Andy's guitar was loud on stage, less of it would be sent to the PA, and less of it would be on the soundboard recording. Another possibility is that this is a separate mix for TV broadcast, and whoever was responsible for it did a shitty job

[@joshb8660]

For those who enjoy Stuart Copeland's drumming, I suggest you check out Oysterhead. It was a early to mid-2000s band made up of Copeland, Les Claypool from Primus and Trey Anastasio from Phish. 3 very different bands but they made a pretty cool trio.

Sting makes a cross :) at 00:04

[@JaalsBoi]

Best performance? This is horrendous! Can you imagine if this concert was made into a live album?

[@kengibbens5059]

Jaals thank god it wasn't. I bought Sting the girls and make them die(live bootleg)it was better than this though material from 1st two albums only.

[@hellobonappetit1657]

blame the drummer...he's only foloowing Coopelend

[@hellobonappetit1657]

then there's the emotive part. This wasn't Frank Zappa and never claimed to be. Zappa was faultless LIVE!

[@felipeantoniopinohuerta3998]

Jaals the best performance was a "live in concert" in Tokyo 2008

[@tropicana_8137]

What are you talking about? This is The Police, this is how they play, how they sound. This is the real police...

[@ziggyzappada4554]

I've always love 'The Police', I had all their albums and one time I was having a bad time, I listened to them ALL weekend!

[@donarmenta4464]

Seein' them. Live Got. Me. Dancin' S. California Desert.Hotter than. U. Know Where ! sprinklers ta' Cool. Us. off !😅😅😅 😅😅😅

[@davelowe8080]

Sting tries to work those Taurus pedals, but he's no Geddy Lee.

[@biodot88]

Yeah the mix is a little hot.

[@davelowe8080]

***** Thanks Dwight K. Shrute. I wasn't talking about their bass playing, I was talking about their respective skills in manipulating that synthesizer with their feet, generally while singing and playing at the same time. Geddy Lee is a freak of nature, he's always doing, like, four things at once.

[@lifrson]

+Dave Lowe Exactly, Geddy....Dude, don't fight the pedals LOL! Nah I being a drummer love both Neil and Stewart. 2 different styles that both kick arse. I also was priveledged to attend the filmed Atlanta Synchronicity concert. That was awesome.

[@desmondknox]

I enjoyed watching the Atlanta Synchronciity concert but someone was not doing a good edit as one person in one clip is reading a bloody newspaper... not sure why its in the video and not removed.

[@stewartnicol3028]

Who told you that music is a competitive thing? ......In the Red Corner....GEDDY!!! and in the Blue Corner......STING!!!! Ridiculous, ehh?

[@johnconway9882]

4 amazing albums in their first 4 years of existence and their biggest one, Synchronicity, yet to come.....and then, like a supernova, they were done.

[@malinwj1167]

They had done it all, after the point of Synchronicity. Sting felt there was nothing left to strive. Number 1 album, song, video, and tour ticket sales/earnings...and then Michael Jackson's "Thriller" showed up

[@gooders7366]

Gone? Where? They wrote the book, and toured it for nine glorious years; after which - like every other book, we still have the book.

[@jamiewashere]

Too bad about the taurus pedals being super loud in the mix, haha! :)

[@deagle666]

Really like the ”walking on the moon” performance. Drums are exceptional!

[@Aleinikov65]

The Drummer is Excellent !!! Yes, indeed ! I am with you

[@genebassman]

This music always sounds new, the mix of rock,reggae, jazz, soul in an alternative form is simply amazing.

[@foraustralia2558]

indeed, with just a touch of Prog & Ska

[@FoosTantrumGirl606]

Well SAID my friend !!

[@KRAZEEIZATION]

Great band and you forget how amazing and unique they were. The energy, the songs the great sound. This was the era of real players, not boy band crap. One Direction are the biggest band now, and it's just all hype and rubbish music, whereas you can still listen to The Police today! I met Sting recently and saw him on the Back To Bass tour. Great musician.
