[@FBproductions7]

One of the best reunions I have ever heard. Most bands lose a step after time off, but The Police sounded possibly even better than before here. Shame they couldn’t stay together longer

[@clement6429]

It's because they didn't last for a long time that they are great today, it's just a supposition, but I better think that way.

[@leek1002]

Such a shame. 😢

[@leek1002]

​@clement6429 that's questionable (imo). I believe their greatest could have continued (if they desired as much). Truely blessed to have been given such a band... My youth revolved around all many activities and always had The Police, The Specials and Bob playing in the background 😅😊

[@Paul-nr6nm]

No shit he invented the police.. Look up there history

[@joesutherland2017]

Are you kidding me???!! He gave himself all the credit in the world anytime anyone asked him, and even sometimes when nobody asked him(and rightfully so, he's is my favorite drummer in a tie with Bonham and an incredible artist). Kidding here for the most part, but the Police was 3 big egos by the time it all ended, maybe 2 is a better number here, as Summers seemed sometimes publicly ambivalent in the interviews & such. Copeland never had a hard time expressing himself in a room, or a concert hall for that matter, and although they are one of my favorite bands ever, it couldn't last. Sting was the voice of reason, saying to Summers and Copeland the night before they played Shea Stadium on the Synchronicity Tour to 14,400 more fans than did the Beatles at that same stadium in 1965, (paraphrasing) "It's time to stop. We're bigger than the Beatles at this point. It's diminishing returns after this." I believe that, and it was worth the wait for me to see them in '08, having re-worked all the songs and completely on top of their game. Plus, Sting had already made plans to record a solo project at that point, and band tension was at an all time high......and you're right. They wouldn't have gone nearly as far without Copeland. But the same can be said for the other 2 also IMO.

[@badtelevision5482]

@@joesutherland2017 It's hysterical that you call Sting "the voice of reason" right before recounting how he claimed the Police were bigger than the Beatles. Copeland is the reason any of those guys are known at all.

[@joesutherland2017]

@@badtelevision5482 "It's hysterical that you call Sting "the voice of reason" right before recounting how he claimed the Police were bigger than the Beatles." That's why I prefaced my comment with "Kidding here for the most part". I should have said "Just being facetious here for the most part" instead, as the sarcasm that followed that statement didn't and generally doesn't travel well on the internet. "The voice of reason" was a joke, because the 3 of them have always been massive egos with the musical talent to back it up as stated above, seeming at times more like brothers than bandmates, all clamoring for approval in the world's eyes, each for their independent achievements within the band. 1983's Shea Stadium gig had them at the top of their game, with at least one of them looking for an exit. And I already agreed with the OP about Copeland being a driving force in the band's rise, stated here, "......and you're right. They wouldn't have gone nearly as far without Copeland" so........ "Copeland is the reason any of those guys are known at all." I'm not defending Sting here- I actually like Copeland more than Sting, but stating that Stewart Copeland "is the reason any of those guys are known at all", seems a bit far fetched, like my " voice of reason" quote, don't you think? Not to diminish Copeland's achievements- the guy has received awards and accolades in film, writing, music to name a few- hell, he's collaborated with orchestras over the years and played with arguably some of the world's biggest musical talents, but.....if Sting's 11 or so Grammy awards and plethora of other awards(all after the Police's run which certainly received its share)could talk, I bet a few of them might disagree with you. And yeah, I know, awards in general shouldn't be used to judge 1 artist against another, but Sting wasn't just another pretty face.

[@alanfowler.]

I see it as just a brilliant combination of individual talents. Awesome together - none of their solo projects had this energy or the 'pull'. Sum of the parts being greater and all that.

In the first ten seconds of the song Stewart already gets a sign from Sting to slow down. They made a few legendary band discussion videos rehearsing in Tuscany and other locations and it really was like old times again. But that was just playing around in front of a camera. This was real and you can bet moments like the slow down sign lead to discussions afterwards. In my honest opinion Sting showed he had way more miles of experience on the counter. He even announced Andy's solo (welcome to the Andy Summers show). I also think Andy was light-years away from the level he played almost three decades before the Police quit.

For guys that say Sting´s voice is not in the original key: its true.
