The Police LIVE - The Bed's Too Big Without You (FYYC's 16min 'The Magic Is In The Middle' Live Mix)

[@Underdog_Drums]

2023, and this would be a hit today. Copeland, Summers, and Sting. It's what god intended

[@victornorris1691]

I love this song ill never get fed up with it and I'll be soon 73 yrs of age, god bless you all

[@ukok8177]

What a sound , compare to what you hear today, its untouchable

[@rg2027x]

exactly..

So true,👍🏻

One moment I'm in Miami, then suddenly I'm front row, in Cali at Don Kirshner's Rock Show. Am I now in Germany? I dont care. Time is irrelevant. The impression permanent. The music eternal. Let's go! Jah!

[@neilhunt835]

Andy was a very likeable classmate in Bournemouth UK in the 50s. Obviously Jazz lovers all its a real treat to see him & co letting loose here! KOOL STUFF!

[@TennisLegends-ebay]

I think this is really the most inventive and magical channel on KZbin. I honestly think Sting, Stewart and Andy would absolutely love it!

[@fyyc]

🙏🙏🙏 Hope so Solar...no sign of life untill now though... 🤔

[@Underdog_Drums]

It's definitely great!

[@Realg-ol4mx]

What a great memory I have of this song. I'm 59 years old now.

[@fyyc]

Thanks for sharing! Already returned inside your body, Real? 😉

[@thomasburns6655]

Absolutely the greatest live performance band ever. You could see 10 shows on the same circuit and never hear the same version of a song twice.

[@Underdog_Drums]

I completely agree. I don't think Stewart Copeland could play a song the same way twice if he wanted? He's just groovin', busy and at the same time playing for the music. The only other drummer I've seen play like that was Bonham. It's amazing how Copeland and the Police fooled the masses into believing they were playing "Pop" music.

[@thomasburns6655]

@@Underdog_Drums - If you ever watch Omar Hakim, he's got that same thing. Amazing!

[@aldopeer]

FYYC, I'm an avid, Dutch fan of The Police and saw them for the first time back in 1978, in Amsterdam. At that time I started to play drums and so, like every starting musician, I was looking for examples and inspiration. Then there was Stewart Copeland playing at The MilkyWay in Amsterdam and my faith was sealed. This was the man to follow! Still nowadays, I'm always scanning KZbin for TBTBWY-live versions and especcially because of those jamming/improvisation parts. I'm always mesmerized, almost hypnotized because of those magical moments. Such chemistry, so well gelled, they feel and communicating with eachother in such a wonderful way musically during those moments. This mix is awesome and yes, bring the 33 minutes version on!

[@fyyc]

Aldo, really many thanks for your nice and even moving comment. I did / do the same thing, sounds like I found a musical soulmate :-)

[@dynjarren7523]

I too have always listened for their incredible improvisation in the middle of songs how they jam and expand the musical ideas. Absolutely brilliant how they do that! Because they jelled together and have good musical chemistry. The two other bands that did this well were the Doors and Led Zeppelin! Both would expand their songs by adding a Jazz like improvisation in between the Chorus or Verses and then return to the main themes afterwards. It takes skill to do this as well as chemistry! Thanks for everything you do!

[@stevenknight8280]

Jazz and reggae you get the police

[@aldopeer]

16 minutes in heaven....... No words....

[@Emelefpi]

Andy was never known for blistering solos, but the sounds, vibes, and moods he could get out of his guitar were so mentally and spiritually transporting - especially when he was allowed to let loose in concert like he does here. I really enjoy his guitar work on live versions of 'Walking in Your Footsteps' from the '83 '84 Synchronicity tour

[@nattyhead5988]

Wicked creativity. Nice one. The Police...what a band.

Who ever you are mr. FYYC, you really deserve my fullest respect , you made The police sound live longer and this a treat for a fan since 1979... Love 💕 please make more ...

Thanks UKok, but uhm...mr. KNNY?

[@nothingman2976]

I agree!!!

[@HarryJoiner]

11:51 - i’ve been a police fan since 1979. I’ve heard this version many times. This is the first time I realized that this section is bass free. Love this approach.

[@dynjarren8355]

This is music made by three consummate musicians! Who were advanced enough on their instruments 🎸 that they knew how to improvise like Jazz players. Brilliant! And I appreciate your new mix’s. I applaud you! Thanks! 👏🏻🎸😎

Dyn, you just made my day...🙏

[@gabedestellano]

The live Tokyo bootleg version of this song is UNBELIEVABLE... The over-delay on his voice and the drum mix are fucking stellar.

[@Realg-ol4mx]

I think I was about 16 years old when I had my only ever out of body experience, to this song. Yep, I was on stage with them as part of there band. What an experience it was.

Very Jazzy. Your mixes are great and trippy. They should be played in planetariums like they did with Pink Floyd back in the 70s.

[@fyyc]

Thanks, Semiam!

[@markshorter76]

Great idea and a very enjoyable mix! Many of their long jams are a treat. One of my favourite versions of TBTBWY is from their concert in Melbourne 22 Feb 1981 - it has some magical moments although it is from a slightly later date.

[@fyyc]

Thanks! Agree on Melbourne...

I wish I could decipher what Sting sings in the very beginning. What language is that? It sounds like he says Be Yo Say but I can’t be sure. His own improvisation. Does anyone know what he’s saying? I’d really like to know. Pos Su Lay Oh! Or Something like that? Please let me know if anyone has figured his toasting out? Bo Do Lay!

[@desmondknox]

Wait a minute this video isn't the actual jamming session as am sure that it was Newcastle this isn't it.. Or is this the real jam it does it sync . Please confirm. I have original bootleg tape cassette from the 80s gig

[@fyyc]

Well, not sure I fully understand your question. As I wrote: most of the audio used is not captured on film, so what you hear is (mostly) not what you see. This applies to all audio, except for the Rockpalast performance. So it was quite a puzzle to produce a matching video... hope you liked it, though.
