[@hughcdavies]

😀Why do I own 15 guitars, 7 Synths, countless drums, bells, wind chimes and other musical instruments. These guys, that's why. How did they do that? The best band ever for me. And live, you'll never see better inprov. Stew, Andy and Stingo are geniuses. These songs are timeless. The best act ever, Full Stop.

[@chasgorman1086]

Sting and Stewart are an incredible rhythm section, but the way Andy fills in with the melody and the harmonic flourishes is mind boggling. He’s a master of digital delay.

People forget just how big the police were in the 80’s.. One of the best bands ever in my opinion. And always sounded good live💪🏻🤘🏻🎸

[@007ndc]

The Police were the biggest band in the world the first half of the 80s. They literally handed the baton off to U2 at a huge charity gig in 1986

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

@@007ndc I beg to differ. The biggest band in the world at that time was Queen. Uncontested.

[@vincebuono2135]

And when they came back in 2007 they aged BUT still sounded amazing!!! Long live the police!!!!

[@mancuniancandidatem]

​​​@@QuotenwagnerianerBy that point though, for some reason, Queen's popularity had faded in the US and I think they stopped touring there. I think possibly, the Hot Space album was not well received.(I personally really like it). The Police were playing stadiums as well as large arenas in the US in 83. I know Queen still maintained a massive fan base in Europe and South America. They did have a miniscule dip in popularity (by their own standards)though until Live Aid and the Kind of Magic album was somewhat of a comeback. I don't really think they regained their popularity in the USA until Bohemian Rhapsody was used in the Wayne's World film.

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

Yeah, no argument from me here. But the U.S. is not the world, even though some people from there seem to believe so. ;)@@mancuniancandidatem

You gotta love how they walk on stage and one minute later they're playing an incredibly tight song. Sting is all business. What a band.

When you become master at your craft, you shine like a bright star, like Sting at the the time. These moments are short and precious and they never return.

[@WThomas66]

But they did return in 2007-2008 with the reunion tour. (5th highest grossing tour ever) Without Stewart and Andy their would be no Sting. One of the best 3 piece bands in history!

[@socialoutcastsvancouver]

well said. everything is fleeting.

[@sydkibweterer2719]

@@WThomas66 You're wrong! without Sting there won't be any Stewart and Andy, anybody can be a drummer or anybody can be a guitarist but there's only one Sting. Look at Sting now, without those two he's still famous and popular. So, look at Stewart and Andy now, where are they?just vanished? they need someone called Sting 😏🤥

[@007ndc]

​@@sydkibweterer2719rubbish. Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland are doing quite well scoring movie soundtracks and composing orchestral concerts. The three guys are all exceptional musicians in their own right but the alchemy of the Police is greater than the sum of it's parts.

[@Joesfosterdogs]

Sting's vocals are unreal...such a unique band...what huge band has no "normal" guitar solos? Copeland was controlled chaos...pure energy...

[@psycoticreaction9135]

Stewart Copeland just kills it here!!!!

[@AbbeyRoadkill1]

I was lucky enough to see The Police on their 2008 reunion tour. To say they were a special band is an understatement.

[@goranekstrom708]

So did I, unfortunately Andy was really crap and ruined the concert to the point I wanted a refund.

[@sliceserve234]

I caught their Seattle show from that tour, and it was incredible. Really enjoyed it.

​@@goranekstrom708 dont be so hard on the man, i was there too, and from my musical point of view he wasnt that bad, at all, i ve heard really bad ones, be thankful u got the chance to hear them once more, just like Rush, can u go see them again? No right! . .

I've never seen a better performance by the band. Wow. Studio-like vocals by Sting. Less ad-lib. And that phone call recording at the end was just hilarious.

[@DavyMackNYC]

All the audience footage from this wound up in the officially released police synchronicity concert live in Atlanta. Filmed by the same people. This is a better concert. Stimg’s voice is so much better here than in the officially released one.

[@misternoplease]

Copeland on Message in a Bottle is a mind-blowing driving force.

[@VictorEMusique]

This was the night before an enormous stadium gig with 60,000 tickets sold. It was a secret concert that was announced on the radio starting around 3 pm and by 6 pm the Spectrum was full....the sound in that place was about as good as you can get, having been specifically designed for live music....I did not see the show but I heard the announcement on the radio...oh and it was free

In 1983 there was no live record of The Police. I recorded that concert from TV show on VHS and every day after school I used to played guitar on it trying to reproduce Andy Summers' playing. I still remember the girl dancing in the audience at 18:16

[@TheForce_Productions]

Great music times, nowdays they look even further away. Andy is an amazing guitarist, he should have more credit. Cheers man!

[@tonyc5215]

One of the rare times where Sting seems to be in a relatively good mood during a live show! Actually cracked a smile a few times…

[@gordmoodie3861]

Probably because they were playing in a much smaller venue. By this time they were selling out stadiums and arenas everywhere, playing a club like Le Spectrum was probably a nice break from the massive shows.

[@gordon8463]

In 1983 itwas the album of the year....!!! So many souvenirs!!!!

I got very lucky and saw The Police live in Chicago at Wrigley Field just before cell phones invaded society. I have been to Montreal three times for Footbag Competitions, twice to compete and once just to hang out with fellow kickers and see the level of play. It would have been an outstanding upstanding everlasting experience to combine the two experiences together. Taking nothing away from Chicago but Montreal is unforgettable. Just as The Police live are too.......❤❤ Thanks for the memories Montreal........

Sting counting how many people in the beginning as the producers were afraid there wasn't going to be enough people as it was a secret surprise show!

[@LichaelMewis]

Stewart Copeland is the greatest drummer.

[@ricardooliva4034]

Wrong! Bill Bruford is the man.

[@AnjektusStudio]

​@@ricardooliva4034 Well! Their are many drummer that you can say are the greatest. But I do agree that Bruford are better then Copeland

[@morbidmanmusic]

if it was rating pure energy and drive... yeah. He may win. otherwise.. not nearly the greatest, and the conversation is kinda sad in all cases. Most musicians, and I've heard most of the drummers (the only ones you likely know) say that they hate the fan hero worship when the words "best and greatest" come in. Because as musicians, they know the truth. They're NOT~ So, i will restate your comment: Stewart Copeland is my favorite drummer. And the guy who likes bruford... same thing. I've heard more than one producer that worked with him a lot say how bad his meter is.. and it is true. But still amaazing at his little slice. As a drummer, producer and Bruford and Copeland lover, it's all sad the hear that stuff. They do what they do. Let them have their super tiny slice of drumming. So many ca do, and or are better than them and the things that "drummers" are. More true today.

[@TheForce_Productions]

Let the world to be, state your own thing without messing with others words and thoughts. Cheers.

I'll never forgive myself for missing this. Tickets were free but you had to phone to a local radio station to get them. My friend and I didn't have tickets, but we briefly thought about going anyway, then we said "Aahh... no!" The next day, we read that, when it was show time, organisers realized that they had not given enough tickets so they let in people who were in the street in front of the venue (Le Spectrum.)
