God. If I could time travel all I would do is see all my favorite bands live. The Police would be my first stop.

[@Blessedbeyondmeasur88]

Yes, indeed!!

[@Kim-le4yw]

Same!

[@shanecabbage2187]

Man! The sound of that fretless... Love the fact that these guys produced some of the most listenable music, here I am in 2023 still jamming this so my neighbors can enjoy with me.

[@johnpill7908]

I don't think anyone can sound and play like this drummer. Unique.

[@gometricusa]

Stewart Copeland plays really close to this drummer.

[@campolindo18]

@@gometricusaWhich drummer? Stewie is playing the drums here..:

[@elsabewium4450]

To be young again ... !!!

[@gallowsradio]

Superb drums driven...

[@robertk2007]

Best small venue back in the day. Sound was incredible and all big groups played here.

[@grguitaracademy5144]

He said a swear . . . I saw them at Madison Square Garden a little over a month later. They didn't take the stage till 10:30, forcing me to take the last train out of Grand Central back home. I caught holy hell from my dad for not calling to let my parents know I'd be home so late (around 2:30 AM). I was 14 . . .

[@kellykinger3254]

Timeless way beyond any band of the time! One of the Best groups to hit the stage!❤ Live this since I was a child!

[@shanecabbage2187]

Lucky boy!

[@GrantSchinto]

@@shanecabbage2187 I did feel quite fortunate (even if the seats were nosebleed seats). Fortunate that is until my infuriated mother told me I couldn't go to any more concerts. Let's just say the next words out of my mouth earned me a substantial and literal smack down from my dad . . .

[@shanecabbage2187]

@Grant Schinto Ouch... I did get to see Prince a few moons ago, Graham Central Station opened, but Sting is still on my "to see" list, especially since "The Police" will likely never be seen in concert again. Truly happy for you. Sad you had your rear tanned, but perhaps worth it...

[@Markothunder]

1:47 I love that different version of the guitar solo

[@AvgDude]

Great performance... too bad there aren’t enough shots of Copeland.

[@shanecabbage2187]

Never are

[@BigBenn2014]

The most relevant song played at Live Aid and nobody noticed.

[@dorianedwards8522]

The musicality and sheer technical prowess going on with this band are what make them special. They were that good and with hooks to boot. You could say that they were progressive rock because of the chops they brought to the songs, kinda like very late Genesis. Superior players using a pop song underlayment to kick some major ass.

[@scottfraser2623]

Best band ever. Love this song

[@arjanteeuwen1184]

Scott Fraser I totally agree!!

[@pittiplatsch9635]

Best Band!!? Come on....👎

[@Blessedbeyondmeasur88]

GEMS!!!!

[@DrGray_Drummer]

Copeland fooled the world. A white dude, playing one drops (Reggae), and had EVERYONE thinking they were a "pop" band. I saw em in 07, and Summers had the same jacket on

[@uberdru]

it's a great fookin' jacket

[@macnchessplz]

Explain this comment in detail,please.

[@felixtelez5468]

La mejor versión en vivo ,sin duda alguna

[@pjsmall]

Just saw Stewart - Fn dude can still play!

[@TheKinoEye]

Is Stewart Copeland also in this band?

[@jumpinjojo]

TheKinoEye From the start.

[@AvgDude]

IKR... The camera basically ignored him completely. Disgraceful.

[@tonyquek1]

How can you say that you're not responsible? What does it have to do with me? What is my reaction, what should it be? Confronted by this latest atrocity Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Hide my face in my hands Shame wells in my throat My comfortable existence Is reduced to a shallow meaningless party Seems that when some innocent die All we can offer them is a page in a some magazine Too many cameras and not enough food This is what we've seen Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Woh oh oh Woh oh oh Woh oh oh Woh oh oh Protest is futile Nothing seems to get through What's to become of our world? Who knows what to do? Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears

[@shanecabbage2187]

Thank you ❤️

[@rafaelvazquez6144]

Los directos de este grupo eran muy buenos caña de la buena

[@salubrious]

Forgive if this is a dumb question but was just wondering if there's any particular reason why the various Capitol Theatre gigs on YT always seem to be in black and white?

[@kia-a-ko7562]

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@pittiplatsch9635]

MINI MOOG!

[@neilangus4401]

Copeland made john Bonham look silly

[@jumpinjojo]

Horrendous camera work.

[@jerryvivanco4898]

Camer work was always and in a lot of cases STILL horrendous!!!!!

[@Loudjazz]

superb drums... meaningless guitar solo

[@KaBoomChannel]

This song was written about Paris Hilton and all the stress she had to go through with the media but how it ultimately led to her great fame today

[@Gerard-yt3dz]

Paris Hilton was born in 1981!!! This concert took place on November 29th 1980.............
