The Police - Can't Stand Losing You - Live in Oakland 10th sept 1983 - RARE VIDEO!!!

[@gregkulig8463]

Stewart Copeland's drumming is brilliant!

[@widescreennavel]

TheRhythmatist! The one and ONLY🥁🪘

[@rangerwhite5165]

They really were at their peak here. So tight as a band. Copeland is just awesome.

[@thesoulgalaxy6390]

I was at this fucking show!!!!! The greatest show they ever did. The cocaine hadn't started fracturing the band yet. The crowd was electric. Stewart was beyond amazing. Andy was keeping the chordal craziness down and well... Sting... fuck, the dude was on fire.

[@rebelibya]

Sting is wild in this video , loved his bass lines , simple greatness...!

[@antoniohenriquelopes5880]

This is really what power trio means !

[@truthteller9681]

Best 3 some! Great shows! One more time together! Please!

[@rbtz07]

I was at this concert and I was 15 and it was a magical performance as you can hear.

[@avedic]

good god...i was born when this was...83. yet, im only now discovering the police. i write music...it's my entire life. yet, i never really gave this band the chance they deserved. i feel so inspired right now. had no idea how utterly creative and transcendent they were. this is so utterly beyond anything else out in 83...

[@loisfurlo8709]

Yes, one of the BEST groups EVER - the combo of the guys, each with their unique talent, can never be duplicated. And Sting's amazing songwriting ability continues to this day - can't stop talent.

[@loisfurlo8709]

I was also at this concert, and was celebrating my 30th! Good times, good memories! Amazing group who can never be replaced.

[@rebelibya]

I do not know where you got this magic video . I have been a fan since 1978 and never seen so much energy from the police better than this video ... Thank you so so so much

[@Istvan1980]

The best of the best!!! I miss so much The Police!!! Sting is one of the best musicians ever!! Love from Madrid, Spain!!

[@loisfurlo8709]

Yes, Sting is one of the best, and continues to be.....

[@novaberbe]

steward copeland is god!

[@_6079SMITH]

Holy mowly. That ending, that bloody ending. Unbelievable...Mistakes and everything but who gives a damn...

[@ImpartiallySpeaking]

The untouchables in 1983! In a completely different league to everyone else

[@absting1]

This band is from another planet... I go into a trance when I hear this band... Sting,stewart & andy... amazing...

[@lauraidini4859]

Oh, lo so molto bene!!!

[@pruettfade4038]

One of the greatest bands ever!!! Love the sea shanty...

[@paulrecords7872]

Amazing the part from 11:36:51:00 to 11:38:09:00!!!!! Sting's voice is incredible and the sound of the Andy's guitar is incredible...not forgetting, the biggest drummer of all time, Mr. Stewart A. Copeland.

[@elsabewium4450]

I love this ..... so wild.... but gorgeous !!!

[@xaviermartori8236]

best can´t stand losing you live i ever seen...and yes thet look like high!!

[@Drworm]

I'd love to see this whole show and see what else was different from the standard Synchronicity set list. That whole tour was nearly exactly the same but they did what may be the best versions of Roxanne at the New Zealand and Australia shows in March of '84. This is the only time I've heard him sing "Jamaica Farewell" and it's great.

[@paulwilkinson8099]

They did on Ilkley moor ba tat in Leeds UK.

[@thewomble1509]

@@paulwilkinson8099 i was there!

[@_6079SMITH]

Ive got this on Dvd

[@EM-yk1dw]

Top of their game

[@ariker71]

Wow! Might be my new favorite Police concert clip. Thanks!

[@ariker71]

Still the best live clip on youtube

[@demetrios3232]

Andy's guitar sounds sooo cool in the finale. 9:28 to the end. Telecaster full throttle.... Yea , really miss the band and those days. Unbridled energy.. a bit reckless at times, but thoroughly genuine... Nice post

[@goodrabbit66]

MORE! MORE! MORE!

[@coravisser727]

This is real fantastic.

[@jesstator]

The theme to the TV Show, "Bonanza"

[@buddyboca]

holy sh*t!!! this is GREAT!!!

[@peacepipenetwork]

i was at this show front and center

[@lauraidini4859]

Cocaina o no é una figata spaziale😍😍

[@dags1965]

Nice one Nick!

[@MauricioVicter]

Amazing! ❤👏

[@josemanuelog]

40 años hoy (10 septiembre 2023). Y suenan genial

[@MJLU280]

they are on fire! thanks for posting.

[@ariker71]

Still my favorite Police concert on here

[@satchvanjohnson41]

They're in Oakland, which is above Los Angeles. He's saying they should make enough noise so people in Los Angeles can hear them.

[@RushTrader]

What a great new find from over 25 years ago! On this night in Oakland 1983 the opening bands were The Fixx, Madness, Oingo Boingo, and the Thompson Twins, This appears to be taken from the in-house video feed. The Police on their final 80's tour.

[@bakerfam1000]

Copeland's like Keith Moon and Buddy Rich combined

[@lisaberger3070]

omg yes!

[@jckhammer]

@@lisaberger3070 Keith moon i can see but still aways away from buddy lol

[@keithungles4114]

Copeland is simply the best. How often is the percussionist the best musician in the group? And, I've always loved Andy's spare takes on guitar parts, just letting a chord hang out there.

[@gregkulig8463]

His fills are insane

[@elduderino2404]

Incredibly underrated

[@KrupaDrums]

Great stuff!

[@_6079SMITH]

I've got this entire gig on DVD and the Spectrum gig (which I think is better).

[@janmikolajczyk5587]

Waw the police raw fantastic stuff

[@MrHellothisisme]

I miss Stu's drumming

[@blackcat7525]

Best comment on you tube!

[@jbeleni]

In this years Sting's energy calls cocaine! When he start's his solo career he saids... "I stored my demonds in the closet"... referring that he stop consuming cocaine.

[@maxxlubinu]

@13cozzmo Jamaica Farewell?

[@maxxlubinu]

@ariker71 wow... thank you!

[@geovana3068]

adoro esse show :) kk

[@Watchoutforsnakez]

Supes Rad post. Regatta De Blanc too! Stuart Copeland is as amazing as shirtless Sting❤️

[@MrDiscordinated]

on top of it all he had a killer look about him . sting 1

[@adduxe]

@tetrodrole : I believe it's Regatta de Blanc

[@ariker71]

Just a suggestion. I know it's a little legal, but keep this video up. If you delete it, I might have to sue. It's still the best Police clip out there, even if 87% of the views are mine

[@maxxlubinu]

as far as I know it's a song called "Jamaica Farewell" bye maxx

[@paulrecords7872]

@tetrodrole Yes, is "Jamaica Farewell"

[@maxxlubinu]

yes it was the last song for that night bye maxx

[@elsandoval]

@13cozzmo Theme from Bonanza, isn't it?

[@right-hand1388]

2:11 ahaha andy !

[@renax1991]

great! one point: is this really the last song or did they play "so lonely" as they used to play at the very end?

[@13cozzmo]

What is that song sting plays during his quiz??

[@cbiscione2]

Bonanza. The TV serie theme.

[@leoglass4326]

cavalli di razza...unica..good night

[@maxxlubinu]

@adduxe "Reggatta de Blanc" by copeland/summers/sting

[@pps76]

He says they are in Los Angeles, are you sure it's in Oakland?

[@paulrecords7872]

@13cozzmo Theme from "Bonanza".

[@dynjarren8355]

Coke fueled Energy!

[@kurtrusellpatrickswayze]

Por ahí debe aparecer Pepe Colubi...

[@right-hand1388]

Bes ones 😁😁😁

[@peacepipenetwork]

the theme from bonanza, pick a little fight ...

[@pps76]

Bonanza ...

[@messageinabottle79]

Look at the horse at 1:53

[@robertandyjustus]

Andy doesn't have to try to sing back in 83

[@jeffreyday2414]

Is there another backup singer in this..if so who?

[@MJLU280]

Dolette, Janice and maybe Tessa also. Same 3 singers as the Atlanta gig few months later.

[@tcarper]

Bonanza

[@right-hand1388]

minahis come bi me wine gohhomme ! jamaica farewell : 4:44 Down the way Where the nights are gay And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop I took a trip on a sailing ship And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop But I'm sad to say I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day My heart is down My head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in kangstınston town Down at the market you can hear Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear Ackee, rice, salt, fish are nice And the rum is fine any time o' year But I'm sad to say I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day My heart is down My head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kangstınston town.

[@thomasallen6980]

How "rare" is something that you are showing to billions of people around the world?

[@maxxlubinu]

it was "rare" 13 years ago!

[@lauraidini4859]

Goduria pura

[@mholdr]

background singers sound HORRIBLE! More Sting and less background singers LOL!

[@petirok]

One of the biggest musical disappointments of my life was realizing that Sting was a big fake. For a guy who has since claimed never to really like rock music he sure faked it real well when it served his purposes. He basically just used the Police to build his name professionally, and then dumped Stewart and Andy like so much garbage. His music has since (d)evolved to complete unlistenable shmaltz. His dictator thumbprint was all over many of the song arrangements on the reunion tour. Shame.

[@right-hand1388]

8:32 my jackass's

[@robertk2007]

i saw them in 1984 in Syracuse, one of their last shows in the US. they were completely burned out and knew it was close to their end. needless to say the show was awful. they mailed it in, waste of money.

[@paulwilkinson8099]

They mailed it in , I like that .

[@mikeh.8155]

backup singers are horrible

[@salutoalduce4550]

Hate those horrible backing vocals!

[@paulwilk69]

Think Tessa Niles and co had left by then .

[@WhiteWolfDief]

Yeah, amazing performance - until Sting makes that stupid joke about these girls AND Stewart being his sisters. Ruins the atmosphere for a moment, don't you think. The end makes up for it again, though.

[@camiloromo1638]

WhiteWolfDief when does he do that?

[@blackcat7525]

Why was it awful?
