Welcome to the Stewart Copeland School of drumming!

[@lostinsweden5039]

Summers and Copeland were fucking amazing.

I love how they do Regatta de Blanc in the middle of this tune.

[@thewomble1509]

Deathwish on the Regatta album came out of that jam.

[@markcoomber8222]

Actually it's the other way around. It was originally the middle section of the live version of 'Can't Stand Losin'.....But when they were recording the album Regatta de Blanc they realised they were short of material. So, they decided to record the middle section of the live version of 'Can't...' to include on their second album.....and made it the title track.

[@thewomble1509]

I can visualise the nodules forming on Sting's vocal cords around this period. They toured so heavily.

[@psfirthoffith]

Saw them in 2007 in Milwaukee at The Marcus Amphitheatre. Awesome show. I so hope they tour again,but I doubt they will.

Everybody jumping!

[@stefanobanca9116]

The best

[@darrenhenderson3]

In this video, Sting does tend to speed up a tad, which causes Stewart to speed up, and slows Andy down

[@3093DaNieLe3093]

The peak of the police,listen to the crowd. Listen from 6:00 to 6:24 how sting and stewart build tension

[@joserojo6717]

wooooooohhhhh,,,,, fileteeeee,,,

[@jasonlefler3456]

2:42 "Jesus Christ..." Sting realizes that the fist pumping crowd looks like a rally...

[@ozhall3]

Jason Lefler I humbly disagree, I think it was an aside to himself about struggling to sing, if you’ll notice his vocals are really subdued during the middle portion of the song where he normally sang out during this period.

[@mightyV444]

@@ozhall3 - I had never heard the "Jesus Christ" bit before Jason pointed it out; 38 years later! :-))

[@jerryjanski551]

I often think if only The Police and The Clash had stayed together, the 80s could have been fantastic, instead of the god awful new wave one album wonder/ hairband wasteland they were.

Too fast!

[@MauFerrusca]

I've read people saying it's due to cocaine. :(

[@zepinousebastien1004]

They often speed up their songs live.
