The Police ist eine 1977 unter anderem von Sting gegründete englische New-Wave-Band, welche die Pop-Rock-Musik in den 1970er- und 1980er-Jahre entscheidend beeinflusste. The Police gilt als eine der erfolgreichsten Rockformationen der New-Wave Bewegung. Vier von fünf Studioalben von The Police belegten Platz 1 der britischen Album-Charts und sie gilt als Karrierestart von Sting. Ihre Musik ist von Reggea, Punk und Ska inspiriert, enthält jedoch auch Elemente von Jazz.
Nach einer Auszeit gab The Police am 12. Februar 2007 anlässlich der Grammy Awards 2007 ihr Comeback bekannt. Anschließend ging The Police erneut auf Welttournee, veröffentlichte jedoch keine neuen Songs. 2008 gaben The Police ihr letztes Konzert.
Die Aufzeichnung des Konzerts fand am 11. Januar 1980 in der Hamburger Markthalle statt. Bevor The Police im Oktober 1980 bei der 7. Rockpalast-Nacht in Essen auf der großen Bühne standen und via Eurovision in unzählige Länder übertragen wurden, hat The Police hier schon einmal im Rockpalast bewiesen, dass ihre Live-Auftritte in Erinnerung bleiben. Zwar noch im kleinen Rahmen, aber auch da schon mit ihren großen Songs im Gepäck: So Lonely, Roxanne, Can't Stand Loosing You und Message In A Bottle standen schon damals auf der Setlist von Sting, Summers und Copeland.

Stewart was my hero growing up. I had his Modern Drummer articles all over my room. He’s the reason I became a touring drummer. Years later when I started playing for Tama I got to meet him at a Tama event at NAMM. Out of nowhere I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes while talking to him. He was cool af and said, “it’s ok man” and he gave me a quick hug. I was so flustered but that’s what Stewart meant to me. After the event, he went out of his way to find me and said he liked my playing and we should hang out sometime. Of course everyone says that and we never did. But I subsequently did became good friends with Jeff Seitz, his drum tech that same day. Also a legend. Great dudes. And that’s my Stewart story. Peace.

[@Don_Camillo]

Sting was the reason to beginning bass playing😁

Andy Summers is so unbelievable underrated. His playing, his sound - not hiding dirty playing behind distorted sounds. He is sooo good.

[@seltaeb9691]

Here we go, the 'underrated' tag. Who says he's underrated? Just because social media doesn't blab on about it doesn't mean he's underrated.

[@palacerevolution2000]

@@seltaeb9691 Thanks for saying that. That 'underrated' tag is overused. A Summers has an incredible right hand. It's a s tight as Stew's snare. If anyone was underrated it would be maybe be Sting's Bass playing. Fantastic bass player back then. Love the part where AS does the solo in 'Bring on the night', and the Bass switches to this single note thing.

[@anotherunoriginalcomment]

@@seltaeb9691 Thanks for beating me to it. Comments using that term add nothing to the discussions under every music video on KZbin.

[@Htheorphanarian]

brilliantly put, never thought about it that way, distortion-y bands do seem to ide behind the chord and not think about innovative melody lines, don't get me wrong, there's a place for distortion, but it gets a bit dull..

Brilliant soundscapes by Andy Summers! Guitar 🎸 Phrasing second to none.

[@sweettoof9002]

3 unreal musicians. Just wow. Andy is killing it on guitar, Sting shreds the bass and sings like a madman, and Copeland - well just watch. One of the best 3 man rock bands ever.

[@ALF782]

Them Cream and Rush 3 piece magic.

[@ladislavranda4493]

@@ALF782 I think to play at trio shows simply everything. Good or bad. These three you have mentioned are the best examples not for good, but for excellent.

[@seltaeb9691]

His singing isn't at his best here.

[@OslerWannabe]

Unfortunately, shredding isn't something that elite bass players do. I love the Police; I was an early fan in 1976. But watching this after recently going back to watch some early Cream, and late Beatles, I've realized for the first time that Sting's playing was merely very good, but wasn't on a par with McCartney or Bruce. A three piece band presents unique challenges for a bass player. He has more responsibility for playing melodically, providing more chord structure rather than just bottom end. Here, in "So Lonely", Andy's solo is so spare that it demands much more from the bass, but Sting leaves him hanging. I can only wonder what Jack Bruce would have done here. Not too much, most likely, but enough that Andy wouldn't sound like he was playing alone.

[@kevio6868]

@@OslerWannabe good point

[@ronphilip3832]

A fabulous band. Notice that Andy Summers played the same guitar for the whole show. Skill and musicianship are what counts.

[@enricobarchi8892]

He was adjusting the guitar tuning between the songs, no electronic tuners or guitar changes…

[@AbyanAdhi]

​@@vincenzollamas im a huge police fan but I wouldn't be so sure about that, especially considering Summers. For being the oldest member of the band (circa 10 years older than both sting and Copeland), he acted like a child. He literally threw a tantrum-ultimatum that if they didn't fire the first guitarist they had he wouldn't join the band. They are great musicians yes, but saying that they have no ego is just false lol

@@AbyanAdhi i was just talking about this performance; they all had/have massive egos, sometimes it's more apparent on stage, this show & many of their early shows, it often seemed like they were still working together as a band

This is the band I saw at the 3,000 seat Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on 17 May 1979, after the first album (Outlandos) came out and the second (Regatta) was about to be released a few months later. Only six months later, my roommate and I drove to see them at the San Diego Civic Theater on 20 November 1979 just after Regatta was released. Sting was on FIRE in those days, as powerful a performer as I've ever seen. The band was ferocious - their music took on a different hue entirely when performed live. This is a full concert and a glimpse of what the band was like in those days. They also played Madam Wong's about the same time as the Santa Monica gig, and the Palladium right after the San Diego gig. The theater in San Diego was acoustically perfect, which made Walking On The Moon absolutely surreal.

[@jilllowndes4243]

What awesome shows to have attended, nice.

[@zackzallie8735]

Probably the tightest of all new wave bands I ever heard. First, we have the god himself, Copeland, the octopus that drove the band with his awesome drumming. And then, Sting bought the best song-writing, and the stellar vocals to the table. Finally, the secret weapon that is Andy Summer, had the siren playing with lots of virtuoso in his playing that made The Police sounded unique and original.

what an amazing piece of film, just as they had cracked the big time. It's great that Stewart is getting lots of cool comments, he is my hero too, his tuning, his style, his energy and in particular his Hi Hat work, He is a very smart guy, he used a delay on his snare and hi hats, I remember Rhythm Magazine trying to write out the score to message in a bottle, and they even admitted it was as close as they could get, as they weren't sure what was delay and what he played straight in some parts, if anyone loves this era of the police, look up Stewart's Film, DOES EVERYONE STARE, filmed on his own camera on the USA make or break tour, just around 6 months before this Rockpalast film. What a truly unique band I also have to mention Andy's guitar part on Bring on the night, Guitarists correct me if i'm wrong, but surely more in common with classical technique than Rock, you have to be brilliant A, to think like that, and B. to pull it off, Oh and sting is ok too LOL

What a great little band. Lucky guys who had the chance to see them at this point of their career. Pure energy and excitement. Sting`s vocals and bass are awesome, Andy Summers is brilliant and Stewart Copeland is simply stunning, he`s a wizard on the drums.

He also achieves what many musicians dont achieve. You can tell its him playing drums because of his unique sound and style. CHEERS!

Maaaan... This version of Roxanne was insane! So much energy, holy cow! Now I know why Steward Copland was a drum hero for Joey Jordisson, Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins. Steward is one of a kind drummer. The whole live set is a great music experience! Just brilliant!

goddamn sting and that fretless bass on walking on the moon

He has remove the frets...

[@MobiusBandwidth]

@@Tolbens no that's a fretless Ibanez bass, there were no frets on it for him to remove. he started as an upright bassist so he was used to that. I don't think he was hearing his bass too well in the monitors though because his intonation was out several times. it happens.

[@johng2880]

@@MobiusBandwidth during Walking On the Moon, you can see Andy asking the monitor mixer for more bass on stage.

[@mancuniancandidatem]

I agree. His job was hard enough singing and playing bass. Why did he make it harder by using a fretless? Still enjoy this but the guitar and bass are continually out of tune. He actually pitches his vocal to the guitar thankfully.

For the 5 albums they were of course amazing, but for the first two albums they were also the most electrifying and exciting band there likely ever was...
